This was the episode where I lost my sense of humour and banned someone on Twitch for griping about having a kid around when I’m cooking. As some of you would know, as far as this topic is concerned, I lost it awhile ago – sometime between giving up my restaurant and being booted from markets and festivals for having my Down Syndrome kid with me. I’m sure I’ll look back one day and laugh about it; today was not the day.
