Who’s allowed to do trivial things like boil water of eggs Or something more but casual and then who’s allowed to anything for a holiday meal.

All our immediate family can do any of that with various degrees of scrutiny from my wife. We are all watched even if not openly.

Outside the immediate family will get “help”.

I saw this from my mom and pretty much every kitchen now that I think of it to some degree.

I never thought of it before and it shows just how personal cooking is. What an interesting post.
