Poor Sweetie. I can only hope she'll try to actually look at her methods rather than try to break down a brick wall through repeated headbutts. (Sure, it works eventually, but at what cost?)

Why did Kovoranu make Sweetie Belle look evil in that picture?

She's not exactly evil. It's just a mutual misunderstanding, between Sweetie Belle and any kind of food or ingredients that can be used to make food.

If you were food, you might see her the same way.

From inside the bowl, flames shot into the air. "Whoops!" Sweetie said. "I guess I did it wrong." She looked at the streaks of soot on the pitcher, and the scorched hairs on her foreleg.

This is a Simpsons reference, isn't it? That's funny.

I caught a repeat in this sentence: Then there's the the prep work, some cleaning, next week's supply orders, some more prep work...I think I have an hour free Sunday night.

Is it? I thought it was an impromptu reference to the tendency in canon MLP for Sweetie Belle to burn things in the kitchen and ruin food in implausible-seeming ways. But because you mentioned it, I searched and found that indeed, Homer Simpson implausibly burns cereal by adding milk to it. Now I just have to try to figure out, is this something I copied from a Simpsons episode I never watched, or is it a form of implausibly unskilled cooking (cereal + milk = the least skilled act of cooking, AND terrible cooks burn things even when it's implausible) that could be reinvented independently? I think I know the answer.

I fixed the "the the" for you just now. Thanks!

I've thought of a third possibility, but I have a LOT of sequel ideas I never seem to get around to writing.

Got it! I'm not saying it couldn't be made up independently. It just seemed like such a specific reference, but it's actually a lot more impressive, if you indeed made that up on your own, which I have no doubt you did, since you said you haven't watched the episode. I love these "so bad that you fail in ways that shouldn't be possible" type of jokes. There was another episode where Homer caused a meltdown during an inspection at the plant, where he was made to do a simulation of his own job in a truck. One of the inspectors goes, "That shouldn't be possible. There wasn't even any nuclear material in the truck," or something like that. Oh my God, that's funny.
