A bottle of Cava. The music of Miles Davis. Low, warm light that rolls across your silky complexion. Curiosity. Mystery. Delight. A handsome man in the kitchen using your iron to steam broccoli. “Wait! John, what the heck are you doing?”
If you or someone you love is suffering from KSS, or Kitchen Separation Syndrome, affectionately known as “KISS”, you are not alone. KSS is a common disorder that presents with feelings of guilt for not helping in the kitchen, an acute desire to learn how to cook, blatant and random attempts to seduce by cuisine and a strong willingness to go to the grocery store that often results in awkward moments of “togetherness” in the produce aisle.
Over 100 million people, typically almost-married men, men who have been dating for less than 4 weeks and unemployed men are afflicted by KSS each year. Don’t let KSS run your life. Embrace it.
Our experts have identified the following ways to embrace KSS:
- Encourage simple meals
- Suggest meals that are quick to prepare
- Guide KSS sufferers to helpful, online food resources
- Sympathize with them
- Lie, and tell them how good it tastes
- Be patient. They eventually get it right.
We know you can do it and we’re here to help. How is KSS affecting your life?
