Setting fire to a pan full of pasta sauce is no longer something you can do and then laugh about. Not only is there a threat of burning down the place you live in, there's also the fact that if you burn dinner, you're going to have to make it again. Calling the fire brigade over a smoking bit of fish is not the type of thing a self-respecting adult should be doing. It's also time to learn how to cook more than just pasta bake, cheese on toast, and soup. You have friends and family to feed now, and to impress with your impeccable cooking skills. Recipe books are something you own now, as is a slow cooker, and a whole cupboard of pie dishes.
I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
