As I scroll through my social media feed, I’m bombarded with reminders of my shortcomings. From trivial tasks to life-altering decisions, it seems I’m getting everything wrong, and the platform is there to highlight my failures at every turn. Honestly, I don’t need the added pressure. I already grapple with insecurities about my day-to-day actions and major life choices, and these posts only serve as a loud confirmation of my fears. “You’re a mess!” they scream. “The Internet sees through your facade!” The online world, once my escape from anxiety, has turned into a source of self-doubt.
I’m not just messing up my cooking techniques; I’m even EATING incorrectly. While I don’t particularly enjoy cooking, I used to relish in the simple joy of eating—until I realized I’m doing that wrong too.
Common Food Prep Mistakes
Let’s dive into some common food prep mistakes. For starters, you’re likely slicing pineapple and watermelon incorrectly, which means your enjoyment of them is also off. When it comes to oranges and bananas, forget about that tempting stem at the top; you should be peeling from the bottom like a monkey! As for eggs, they’re a veritable minefield of mistakes. You’re scrambling them wrong, and if you boil them, guess what? You’re peeling them wrong too! (Is it just me who finds egg peeling so simple?)
And it doesn’t stop there. Onions, cherry tomatoes, kiwis—all wrong. Whatever you think you’re doing right, it’s probably not. Then we have cake; what could possibly go wrong with cake? In my world, cake is a problem-solver! Yet, the cake-slicing police have declared that you should slice from the middle and then push the sides together with your bare hands to protect the interior. Have they forgotten about frosting? I enjoy sharing my cake, so I’ll stick to the classic approach, thanks.
To add to my list of failures, I’ve apparently been mispronouncing Sriracha and messing up Southern cuisine. And in the realm of non-food matters, I’m “almost certainly” bungling negotiations—something I already knew, believe me.
What I really wish is that these articles would stop shouting at me. Instead of pointing out what I’m doing wrong, how about some gentle guidance on how to improve? Better yet, let’s make these tasks more enjoyable!
