My sister cooks all the time.
She’s not really that great of a cook, either, but she fancies herself to be a fine chef.
She’s always trying some new recipe or other but she usually ends up burning things. That makes her entire house smell just terrible but I think sometimes that she has gone nose blind to the terrible indoor air quality in her house. She doesn’t really even notice how bad it smells, and even when I point out the fact that the place smells terrible and that the indoor air quality in her house leaves a lot to be desired, she just doesn’t get it. It’s like she thinks that I’m making it up or something. But I am definitely not! I told her that she needs to start changing the air filters in her HVAC system more often, and she just laughed. She said that she only changes the air filters once a year, and that’s the same time that she changes the batteries in her smoke detectors. I tried to explain to her that air filters are very important in maintaining good air quality in your home, especially when you are burning things in the kitchen all the time. Well, that got her attention. And it also really made her mad! She was highly offended when I mentioned that she always burns things in the kitchen. I think I will get her a whole home air purification system for Christmas this year. If I give it to her for free, maybe she will actually use it and help the indoor air quality in her house to improve.
