The thing about cooking is that it is not always as simple as throwing a few random items in a pan and hoping for the best. You've got to take the time to consider the dietary requirements and preferences of everybody eating, where and when you're going to get ingredients, and if you actually know how to put them together in a way that is going to be edible. As if that wasn't enough, you also run the risk of getting to cooking time and realizing that this particular meal wasn't what you wanted to eat at all. It's a whole process!
However, we have to say that those times when we manage to chef up a storm make the whole stressful experience worth it. Plus, it allows us to relate to the wonderful world of cooking memes. If dinner tonight goes horribly wrong, you can fill up on laughs instead.
