We Can't Stop Laughing At This Basic Cookbook A Girl Wrote For Her 'Cave Man' Brother

the actual cookbook you might have to refresh the page



http://distractify.com/food/2016/09/01/basic-cookbook-ftw

It's time to face facts: some people just aren't natural cooks. Maybe the fancy photos your friends post on Instagram of summer salads and chicken kabobs look easy enough to replicate, but actually executing the task is a different story.

And reading typical cookbooks and recipes online isn't always helpful. Those instructions assume you have some basic skills in the kitchen and know how to work an oven... Not everyone is at that level.

So, one smartass little sister decided to help out her culinarily-challenged brother with a step-by-step, sassy, overly honest cookbook to prepare him for adulthood.

Imgurian tacopartyinyourmouth posted pictures of the book she wrote for her older brother, Warren. And it does not disappoint.

much more at either link!

SUCH A GREAT SISTER! BWAHAHAHA!

"Use this to impress a girl if you ever manage to get one over."

No. Into the shredder with this thing. Couldn't she have...well, you know, shown him how to cook instead of writing a snotty cookbook?

The tone doesn't bother me in the slightest; my sisters and I could easily have similar exchanges without any of us batting an eye.


But cream cheese spaghetti bake causes my gullet to clench.

To me, it's obvious she loves him despite the little jibes. That cookbook took some time.

I falter on anything over five ingredients
