does no one else here cook meals themselves? ;-;

Ha, I'm only good at cooking lahmancun, omelettes, or cakes. I can follow recipes though, just can't memorize anything else

I’m too much of a coward to cook.

There's nothing to be afraid of. Don't like slicing vegetables with a knife? Get a finger guard (or a cutting guide). Afraid you'll burn the house down? Just pay closer attention to the stove.

So you say, but you're still residing on the RMB, so it obviously wasn't that bad.

I have my good old buddy Clorox to thank for that.

I’m more worried about carbon monoxide poisoning or the stove blowing up. I’m okay with knives and the like.

Like I said, just pay attention to the stove. I used to be the same way, and then I figured out that nothing much will even happen if you just pay attention to the fire.

How about writing them down on paper... I never rely on digital devices for writing down passwords/pins/that kind of thing. Nobody can hack my notebook.

I’ll try and keep that in mind the next time I use the stove. But for now, the most complicated thing I can make will be plain rice.

What I'm decent at are barbecues. But that's because they require minimum effort. You literally just put the meat and rotate it every now and then, and when it looks good you put it on a plate. That simple.

I always wash my rice unless I'm making something like risotto or paella.

Of course I wash it, there’s no telling what’s still in the bag from the paddy fields.

I've never had rice straight from the patty fields. I've only ever gotten rice in bags from the supermarket.

I do too, but you can never be too careful.

I think I might move to the TEP

It's not difficult, and in some cases, it can be really fun. Just forget about ability for one second and follow a recipe. I'm sure everyone who was able to follow the instructions on a LEGO set as a kid is able to follow a recipe as an adult.

I never used the instructions in LEGOs. I made whatever I damn well pleased.
