you invite your friends for dinner and instead of cooking a basic meal that you’ve perfected you decide you need to impress them with something new
but at the last minute you get so stressed out worrying about how it’s going to taste that you buy a bunch of ready-made appetizers to fill them up
then you add bread and salad so they barely have room for the questionable dish you created
and finally you bring out an incredible dessert from the local bakery so they forget about how bad your cooking tasted
then you have to sleep for three days afterward because you’re so exhausted
but of course you’re ready to invite them again for another
home-cooked meal
