Chef Thanos 🇸🇪🇬🇷👨‍🍳😼

Gravy, lumps and other life choices Ah, gravy, the glue that holds the culinary universe together. Forget molecular gastronomy, foam reductions, or whatever the young chefs are snorting these days (powdered truffle? I can’t keep up).…

Gravy lumps? They're personality, not a flaw! 🤣 My secret: mudslide-level flour & whisking with passion (not precision). Even Ruby the cat 🐈⬛ only gave it a 7/10.

A tragic tale of leafy betrayal Ah, my dearest culinary diary, confidante of my triumphs, failures, and crimes against produce today I embarked upon a healthy adventure. (Already, you sense the regret marinating, don’t you?) It a…

My healthy adventure turned into a tragedy of betrayal. Massaged it, sautéed it, even introduced it to bacon! Still tasted like regret. Ruby the cat judged me. 🍷🍕

The pudding predicament Ah, the perils of being a chef at my venerable age of 60well and still harbouring the heart of a mischievous ten-year-old with a whisk in one hand and a wooden spoon in the other. Today, dear journ…

My "sous-chef," Ruby the cat 🐈, decided my scratch chocolate pudding 🍮 needed a paw-print garnish. Counter's a crime scene.

The great popcorn pop of film night Ah, movie night. A sacred ritual in my household. The lights dim, the recliner groans under my post-dinner dignity, and the aroma of freshly buttered popcorn fills the air, a scent so divine it sho…

Film night disaster! 🎬 Ruby, the "Culinary Chaos Consultant," turned a bowl of popcorn into a buttery figure-skating rink. I'm eating couch popcorn while she purrs in the wreckage. 🤦♂️🍿

The broth, the bird, the cat and the Samgyetang  soup I woke up this morning to find Ruby, my plump feline sous-chef, sitting on my chest like a furry paperweight. She stared into my soul with that look cats give when they’ve decided your expiration d…

Chef Than’s Samgyetang saga: named the chicken Gregory, wrestled a wizard’s toe-ginseng, achieved cosmic chi... only for Ruby to call it lukewarm dishwater. Perfection. 🐈
