Spaghetti

Should I teach you how to cook a proper spaghetti Bolognese?

You’ve got to learn how to make things from scratch.

I looked on your shelves and you don’t have any decent pans.

Let’s go to the kitchenware aisle. I’ll buy you a big wok

and a spatula. Good crockery and cutlery makes me happy.

Let’s get fresh ingredients. garlic, red onions sweet chilli sauce.

I might buy us matching aprons - I’m in one of those moods.

I can’t think of any better way of spending my week with you

than cooking together.  You need to learn to enjoy food.

I’ll teach you what the herbs do. We need oregano, basil, rosemary.  

Cooking is the one time you are truly yourself. Loud music

a bottle of red wine. You keep saying it's been too long

since you saw anyone. Let’s fill this trolley. Invite people round,

who wouldn’t want to be the one who cooks nice food for everyone

and when people think of you they’ll say you make the best ever

spaghetti Bolognese. I will teach you. This is what homes are for.
