Ingredients, you will need:<\/p>\n
1x Global Pandemic<\/p>\n
2x parents who’ve just got used to having the house to themselves<\/p>\n
1x son who can’t stand having to leave the delights of the city for his parents house in the countryside<\/p>\n
1x son with pretensions of being a comedian<\/p>\n
1x enclosed space for all of them to cook together.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Start with your pandemic, season it liberally with panic, fear and panic buying of supplies.<\/p>\n
Individually flavour the other ingredients with vastly varying flavours. examples include liberal attitudes to nudity, differing political viewpoints and an inability to deal with other opinions.<\/p>\n
Lock up all ingredients in the confined space for several months. make sure to heat well with large amounts of sunshine but do not allow them outside for more than 1 hour a day.<\/p>\n
Begin loudly pointing out all the fun things that your ingredients would be doing if they were literally anywhere else.<\/p>\n
Let the comedian son write out a series of poems based on how frustrating he is finding everything. For extra spice, add several disparaging and thinly disguised descriptions of members of his family.<\/p>\n
Mix said poetry with three bottles of wine at dinner. Make sure you stir well to let out all the buried resentment from the last 20 years. Sprinkle a few “OK Boomer” comments and serve with a long rant about Millennial snowflakes.<\/p>\n
Bon appetite<\/p>\n
