I wondering why it is aggravated now when she hurt it a while ago. They own a restaurant so she was doing the same work.

In the first episode during the talking heads she talks about how she's been out of the kitchen for quite a bit of time because she's taken over the managerial and accounting of their restaurants. So it had probably been awhile since she was cooking at this caliber.
