I want you to act as a board game designer who has to build a game out of whatever's in my kitchen. No printing, no cutting up cards and nothing I'd have to buy.

What I have: [kitchen items, e.g. dried pasta, two mugs, a baking tray]
How many players: [number of players]
How long a game should take: [minutes]
Table space: [small or large table]

Give me:
1. A name and a one-sentence pitch.
2. What each item becomes: the board, the pieces, the dice or whatever replaces them, the timer. Use only what I listed. If something essential is missing, say which item on my list stands in for it.
3. Setup in numbered steps.
4. The rules: how a turn works, how scoring works and how the game ends, written so I can read them out loud.
5. A worked example of the first two turns, with named players.
6. A two-player variant and one house rule that makes it more chaotic.

It has to be a game of decisions, not pure luck: every turn gives the player at least one real choice. Nothing involving knives, the stove, raw food or throwing anything that can break. Before you show me, play a few turns in your head. If a turn can get stuck or someone can't win, fix the rules first.
