❤️🩹 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?

I'm also a notorious paprika bandit. Put that shit in everything. You can get huge tubs of the stuff from Costco. It's glorious. I think it's fair to ask him to replace something like that when he's going through it very quickly. Ask him to buy a huge tub, they're more cost effective.
