Exactly
The first time I cooked for my mum she couldn't understand why the veg wasn't a soggy mess falling off her plate. I had to explain to her - as diplomatically as possible - that this is how veg is supposed to be cooked.

It was like showing fire to the first caveman, bless her.

I bought mine a steamer, and for a while things were good
Then she realised how to obliterate them using a steamer too

Steamed Veg is far tastier than boiled
Especially Sweetcorn

That's outrageous
I have the steamer up and ready to go and then just stick the veg into it a minute or two before starting to serve everything up. Even a fuckwit like me can't go wrong.

You're agreeing that I'm a fuckwit?
That's harsh.
