In a twist of domestic drama, our home chef finds herself in the midst of a culinary conflict with her husband, Paul. Their once harmonious arrangement of cooking and cleaning is disrupted by Paul’s new dietary preferences, leading to messier cooking experiments. Paul, who’s responsible for cleaning, feels the mess is becoming a burden and accuses his wife of being ‘careless’. She counters by suggesting he take up half the cooking, which he declines.
