I've never understood people that yearn to be a kid again. When I was a kid, especially when I was in high school, I desperately wanted to get all that over with and become an adult. And when I became an adult, things were rough, but I felt so much better for so many reasons.
As I've aged, this sentiment has only been further reinforced by my experiences with aging. Not to toot my own horn, but I've been aging well and have gotten more attractive the older I get (so far). My social skills have improved so much, I was painfully awkward and unable to successfully socialize as a young person. Holy fuck, I actually have real friends and relationships now, it's amazing. Yeah I got responsibilities, but I can actually do things I want to so long as I stay within the confines of those responsibilities, definitely not something I had as a kid either. And honestly, I'm a much better person, which I won't get into too much, but I was closer to being right wing in my younger days.
Sure, it'll stop feeling so great at some point, but I'm kinda past the point where most people start to say getting old sucks and you know what, I say no, it's pretty cool actually.
I wrote out a much longer angrier thing because you told me to sod off but i'm not trying to fight you alaskaball i just think it's good to promote "it's okay to use a food processor where appropriate, you don't have to 'use a knife or you're lazy'" in an attempt to promote anti ableist and less toxically masculine kitchen culture. If you want to do things the way you want to do things, that's fine, but a food processor works just as well if what you need to do is physically painful
i think it was just a joke for whatever my opinion's worth
another option is working out a table/chair/whatever combo that puts you at the right height for knife work, chopping veggies is meditative to me (admittedly my job isn't kitchen work like yours is so
) and just getting rid of the "standing up" part makes it something i can do all day
Sitting on a bar stool wondering why ive never thought about doing knife work sitting down
I guess because our old place didn't have a bar
