That looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.
Same. As soon as I buy something for someone, I want them to have it. And then there's a month of horrible uncertainty where I overthink whether they'll like it, whether it was enough, and (in the case of people I'm not close with) whether I've already given them one.
Japanese chef guy is two for two; I made his mushroom recipe and they turned out exactly like the video. I'm neurotic when I cook, and seeing every step laid out with all the mistakes I could be making is really helpful. I grilled some overengineered hamburgers and made mushroom Swiss burgers with them, which turned out to be the best hamburgers I've ever made. So gg, strange masked internet chef. I think I'll try his shrimp next.
