The type of parents who argue that simply putting food on the table and keeping a roof over their kids' head is sufficient parenting are always so shocked when their children no longer want to deal with them once they've got their own place and can buy their own groceries. Like what else did you expect to happen? You told the people who had no other choice than rely on you for food and shelter that asking for any more than that is unreasonable of them, and then they don't go to you for anything once they can get those some other way. What would they go to their parents for?

They've got food at the house.

using blood to symbolise the strength of a bond is kind of ironic really because blood is one of the least loyal things there is. all you have to do is get a tiny cut in your skin and that shit starts gushing out like it was just waiting for a chance to escape. they call it a blood bond because it can't wait to abandon you.

I think at a certain stage it becomes less about skill and it’s more about being open. Open? Yeah, to the world, to yourself, to other people. You know, most of the incredible things that I’ve eaten haven’t been because the skill level is exceptionally high or there’s loads of mad fancy techniques. It’s because it’s been really inspired.
