@futurebird I answered “could be both,” but it could be something else.

@futurebird I thought it was A but also a variant combo where it's "it looks like she's doing it wrong but maybe..."

@futurebird I get the sense that A is the primary meaning but it's used ironically enough that B is always on the table?

@CptSuperlative It's very old AAVE that exploded online recently I don't know why. Example:*A person is putting together furniture in a strange way*Bystander one: "Hey what are you doing?"Bystander two: "no let her cook, she's making something interesting"

@futurebird she has impossible medical debt, but can make meth to pay it off.

@futurebird Whatever she's doing is her thing, so let it be hers. Stay out of the way, and if she wants your help, she'll ask.

@futurebird I thought it meant "I'm not sure where this is going but I want to find out"

@funkula We can learn something from this. It might be one of those lessons where you think "let's never do that again..." or maybe not. We won't find out if you stop her.

@funkula I kind of like "No. I am learning."As an alternative.

@futurebird @CptSuperlative Funny. Urban dictionary has "Let it cook" and "Let him cook" but not "Let her cook".

@futurebird I chose "could be both", because even though I don't believe it could be *both*, I do believe it could be *either*.

@futurebird I've never used this, but I would use it to mean "Leave her alone. She'll either end up with something great or a lesson."
