Brother you COOK anyway, it doesnt matter slow or fast. I know i can depend on you, not because you haven't failed, but because i believe you'll make a great cook again! And if not... than i also should slow down with my expectations. Nobody can cook all-perfect, after all, if everything's peak, than nothing is.
Khm khm, what im trying to say is, take as much time as you need, we don't want or need you to have a deadline, so you shouldn't think you have to either. Even if you'll come "late" to YOUR anniversary, i believe the updoot will still be as great as any before, or even greater!
Have a nice time and be notsosleepdeprivedaxolotl, they say it helps sometimes (i personally dont know tho, haven't sleeped for 19h and ~18h more are left)
