Love how the jambalaya disaster becomes a metaphor for how we hold ourselves to impossible standars. The moment when Caroline's counting the jalapeños and realizes she threw in six instead of three really captures that panic of knowing things are spiraling. I've totally had those cooking moments where trying too hard to impress someone backfires, and honestly the anxiety around Megan's visit felt more intense than the actual spice problem.
Thank you for reading!! And Absolutely! I wanted to find a way to capture how some people experience perfectionism, and how much anxiety it can bring. I can relate to Caroline and have had moments where I've held myself to extreme standards. I would even compare Megan more to that inner voice, telling you to be perfect. But the truth is perfectionism never works.
Milk and jambalaya. What a terrifying combination. Akin to apples and anti-freeze. My stomach hurts.
Hahaha, terrifying! Gotta bring down the spicy somehow
