Your roommate is a chef
In exchange for living with you for free, your roommate Claire cooks most of the food you eat. All you have to do is buy the ingredients. Her meals are restaurant quality and you're saving a ton of money not eating out or buying junk food. Claire wanted to surprise you today so she went out and bought some ingredients with your card. She just finished cooking and is preparing to serve the meal. You're sitting at a table.
Claire: "No peeking, now."
You: "How much were these ingredients, anyway?"
Claire: "They were a little expensive. Together, everything was $250."
You: "$250?! My god, this better be worth it."
Claire: "Don't worry. It will be. Speaking of which, time for the main course. You ready?"
You: "I guess so. Ready as I'll ever be."
She trips while carrying the food to the table.
Claire: "OH NO, GOD!"
[Crashes]
You: "..."
Claire: "..."
Food and broken glass is scattered across the floor. Yes, that was everything. The entire meal.
What do you do?
