Too many cooks, grrrrrrr

I love to cook, and watch people enjoying my food.    But please keep your (&)&(*&( mitts off of my pots or pans.  I know what I'm doing,  I can ask to have someone else stir something if I can't get to it.  But please don't pull the lid off and stir it unless I ask you to.

And that's another thing.   Please don't second guess me.   Really, I do want the carrots cut that way, and yes I do know how to roast the meat, and season it well.  

And if you call yourself a chef, act like it.   I recently had a negative experience with someone who called himself a 'chef', and proceeded to whip the daylights out of a batter that I'd asked him to fold flour into.   He made a roux that had lumps, then proceeded to whip the lumps out of the sauce.   There are some basic rules in cooking, and whisking something that needs to be folded, are contradictions.    And if you look the words up in a dictionary, they will even give different definitions.   Amazing, huh?   

Just had to get that one off my chest, now maybe it won't stew around in there as much.
