Guess salt is still allowed

Last weekend, I decided to try my hand at cooking for a change. I was feeling adventurous and thought I’d impress my friends with a fancy homemade pasta dish. As I boiled the water, I proudly added a generous amount of salt, thinking, “This is what chefs do!” I felt like a culinary genius until I realized I had accidentally spilled a whole cup of salt into the pot. Instead of panicking, I decided to embrace my inner alchemist. I added a mountain of garlic, a splash of cream, and a sprinkle of optimism, hoping to balance it all out.
When my friends came over and took their first bites, their expressions were a mix of delight and horror. One even shouted, “This tastes like the ocean!” We all burst into laughter as they struggled to wash down their salty pasta with water, leading to a spontaneous game of “guess how much salt is still in this dish?” I learned that sometimes, being a culinary genius just means knowing how to make a good joke out of a kitchen disaster.
