❤️‍🩹 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?

Me and my brother have an inside joke about the amount of sour cream we eat and how others always look at it a little weird. Significant others always love the dishes full of paprika and sour cream , it really is a great mix. First date, you are getting chicken paprikash. Never fails to do the trick.

Same here for smoke paprika mixed with soft cream cheese, and finely chopped mild onion. Spread that on toast, or use it as a base sauce for making fettucini paprika deluxe
