23. She’s a Pro
Many years ago my aunt was bragging to her friends about how she cooked the best Pilau. Pilau is a type of rice meal with a bunch of spices and herbs mixed in. At the time having Pilau at your wedding was seen as exotic and posh. So when her close friend was getting married they asked her to cook a massive batch of pilau for the wedding to feed 500 people. Please note, she had no clue how to cook pilau. She made the unwise decision to show up on the day of the wedding (people usually start cooking at around 5 am). Her plan was to ask for a series of outlandish ingredients to make the pilau and when these inevitably could not be obtained she would announce that the pilau could not be made. Unfortunately for her, they had literally everything she asked for, no matter how ridiculous (she asked for plums to make rice). So she gives up and tells everyone to leave the kitchen so she can work … and then she leaves through the back door and flees into a nearby forest. The bride cried.
