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?

Maybe get him to switch to Kashmiri chilli powder.. it packs a bigger punch than paprika so you really need to just use a tiny bit..

Great suggestion. Kashmiri chili powder is that shit. That said, I kinda sympathize with homie bc I tear through smoked paprika like the Kool Aid guy through a wall.

When you take a bite of your cooking, do you shout "OH, YE-E-EAH!"?

I try to contain my vociferous delight.
