Chaos in the Kitchen: Pastalaya Edition

Ever tried to cook something that looks like it belongs in a restaurant, but your kitchen ends up looking like a crime scene? That was me last night with Pastalaya. Sausage sizzling, shrimp doing their thing, chicken getting all golden—then I realized I forgot to chop the onions. Cue panic. Somehow, it all came together. The rice soaked up all those spicy, smoky flavors, and the shrimp didn’t get rubbery (miracle). My family devoured it like they hadn’t eaten in days. I even got a half-hearted thumbs up from my picky sibling, which is basically a Michelin star in my house. Moral of the story: You don’t need to be a chef to pull off a dish that makes everyone happy. Just embrace the chaos, trust your taste buds, and maybe keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Would I do it again? Absolutely. Would I clean up the mess? Still debating. #HomeCooking #Pastalaya #FoodFails #Food #Foodie
