Bob's Culinary Catastrophe: A Recipe for Laughter
A Hilarious Tale of Kitchen Chaos and Unwavering Optimism
Ladies and gentlemen, gather round and prepare yourselves for a tale so hilarious, it'll have you rolling in the aisles! Once upon a time, in a quaint little village nestled between the hills, there lived a man named Bob. Now, Bob was quite the character. He had a knack for getting himself into the most absurd situations, much to the amusement of everyone around him.
One fine day, Bob decided he wanted to impress his crush, Sally, by showing off his culinary skills. So, he dusted off his old cookbook (which was more like a relic from the Stone Age) and set out to make a gourmet meal. Little did he know, disaster was lurking around the corner.
As Bob chopped onions with all the finesse of a lumberjack, tears streamed down his face faster than a waterfall in the rainy season. But that didn't deter him. Oh no! Bob was on a mission. He bravely soldiered on, despite his eyes resembling two tomatoes at a salsa party.
Next up, Bob attempted to sauté some garlic, but in his enthusiasm, he mistook sugar for salt. The result? A dish that tasted like a failed science experiment. Undeterred, Bob pressed on, determined to salvage the meal.
Just when things couldn't get any worse, Bob's cat, Mr. Whiskers, decided to make an appearance. With a flick of his tail, Mr. Whiskers sent a cascade of flour raining down on Bob, turning him into a human snowman. Sally, who had arrived just in time to witness the chaos, couldn't contain her laughter.
But Bob, being the resilient soul that he was, took it all in stride. With a flour-covered grin, he declared, "Voila! Dinner is served!" And despite the culinary catastrophe, Sally couldn't help but be charmed by Bob's unwavering optimism and good humor.
And so, dear audience, let this be a lesson to us all: life is full of mishaps and blunders, but it's how we laugh in the face of adversity that truly matters. So here's to Bob, the ultimate kitchen warrior, and to the endless laughter that his misadventures bring. Cheers!

Do You Remember?
”Do you remember?” “Remember, what?” “Do you remember how we met?” “Of course I remember when we met.” “But do you remember HOW we met?” “How? How. Well, yes.. what exactly are you goin’ on about, Vera?” “It’s been decades since I’ve thought about it” “Go on.” “Well, don’t you remember, Oscar? We were two very lost souls. So lost in the rubble we couldn’t find our own feet. “Ah, yes.” “Our hearts were shredded into the finest confetti, it’s a miracle they could even hold a beat!” “Mm, It’s coming back to me.” “Meddling on lonesome blues and cheap whiskey.” “Merely kids, we were.” “Down by that old river, some nights so misty!” “Oh, yes. That sure was a mighty beautiful river.” “and the bands would play until sunrise for all our lonesome souls to vanquish into spiritless nothingness.” “They knew we needed sleep at some point, just to wake up the next evening to do it all over again.” “A small light in the darkness.” “Hm, I am still not understanding why this faint memory has arised in you, Vera, are you okay?” “Do you remember when you looked at me? From across the dock?” “Well, yes. I saw a sad girl sitting on shore, digging her toes in the sand, curly dark locks drifting with the wind.” “Yes, and I looked up at that exact moment.” “A picturesque moment, a sight to be seen.” “That was the first time I smiled in months.” “Truly?” “Truly.” “Hm. Why is that?” “Well, I saw a handsome young man staring right back at me, with a hungered look in his eyes, a look I couldn’t quite read.” “and that made you smile?” “No one had ever looked at me like that in all my young years, if they ever even looked at me..” “You were… dauntingly beautiful, Vera. I couldn’t look away.” “I was not!” “You were! I saw a lost soul, like mine, toes so deep in the sand you couldn’t see them. An aching heart so shredded it was like fire works going off around you.” “and that made me beautiful?” “It made you real. It meant you could feel, deeply. And when you can feel, deeply - well, that’s the purest of beauty.” “and you saw all that just by looking at me?” “I felt you in my soul, and it made me feel.. not so lost anymore.” “Oh… Oscar.” “What is this all about, Vera?” “Well, to be honest, I was beginning to feel a little bit lost again.” “Oh, Vera..” “When you looked at me from that rickety ol’ dock, something in my soul ignited.” “You felt it too?” “Very much so.” “Hm, you never made a mention of that.” “Well, growing up crushed by the weight of endless trauma, you learn to hide such feelings.” “Fair.” “I just… I just needed that reminder, of what ignited my soul in the first place.” “You mean.. by giving you this look?” “Yes! Oh.. Yes, that look!” “You will always be the girl of my wildest imagination, Vera. Without you, there would only be darkness.”

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
