Former chef here. Cooking isn't that hard. Most people really overthink it. The real trick is to have timers for every single dish you are cooking so that you don't forget to check on anything when you should. Literally just setting silent alarms on my phone makes me look like some sort of food wizard/ bard in the kitchen.
(Bard because my friends say that I "dance" in kitchens.)
Buchanan barely makes the top 10 worst list. Jackson and Wilson did far more damage to the country directly. Heck most of Buchanan's presidency was just cleaning up the infighting of Jackson's cabinet. Top 5 worst? Three way tie between Jackson, Wilson, and Trump for first. Polk and either Nixon or Reagan round out the top 5.
The latter. I built and worked at a fusion Chinese pizzeria.
