@neil Our kitchen operates a fairly well choreographed combined effort, with the various festive dishes throughout the season defacto assigned to individuals.
Shared responsibility and kinda just works with people contributing at different stages and to different things.
Cookery is a big thing in our house, and it's taken many years of practice, but I think we've got it down to a fine art now 👍
But whatever works best for people. Unwanted external interference is generally an irritation.
@neil i never have to say this, except to the poltergeist who occasionally tries to hand me the hand towel when i'm not actually reaching for it
@neil That's my day! 💕🥳
@neil I feel you, but would like to add "could you please get the fuck out of the kitchen, the only place in the house I have something remeniscent of peace right now?"
@neil I celebrate almost every Sunday.
@neil Umm, isn't that every day?
@neil That's tomorrow in this house. Oh I am *sooo* looking forward to it. Bonus points, I have the MiL here, and that makes this event super hard!
Perhaps this year supplanted by "Yes, ChatGPT may have returned that, but I am going to be sticking with this recipe book, thanks" Day.

@neil we even have a little magic formula to more or less gently remind the other person when they overstep the demarcation line: “mein backe backe Kuchen”, loosely “my bakey bakey cakey” - the sort of thing one 3yo might say to
another while playing in the sandbox.
@neil which coincides with “Quick, run down to the supermarket and get me …” day.
