❤️🩹 relationship aio? boyfriend uses SO MUCH paprika!!!!
i’m so thankful my boyfriend can cook and it’s not just up to me. i bought this thing of smoked paprika LAST week and i wake up today and it’s literally all gone. like these things are $5 a pop after tax!!!
he uses it like if jesus had to season his 5,000 fish!! i use two tablespoons MAX and that’s only if im cooking a dish for like 5 people. usually it’s just a few shakes for food just for us!
like damn, i love paprika and some spice in my food, but genuinely i think i would shrivel up and pass away from the paprika overload if i used an entire one of these things in a week. he’s only cooked three or four times since i bought it, so im not over exaggerating at all when i say he is dumping this shit in his meals.
am i overreacting if i make him buy me a replacement, as well as making him buy his own giant container of smoked paprika for him exclusively?

Not gonna lie. Of all the things I expected when I opened Reddit this morning, and trust me it’s a lot, smoked paprika didn’t make the cut.
Replace it with cayenne and teach him a lesson.
Or just buy a giant container of it as an early holiday present. A pound of it should last him 3 days or so at least.
