On a different note : I hate cleaning,I love being in a relationship, I can start cooking more because it's socially acceptable to say " I'll cook you clean?" . Can't do that shit with anyone else in your life as an adult.
oh god, that was valentines day iirc. I burnt ONE lasagna and flooded the kitchen floor trying to defrost chicken(...in the sink...with warm water - there was nothing to eat other than that).
I told you, I have to put my mind to it to succeed.
My best friend was raised by her grandma and she is super pushy in the kitchen, literally every time she comes over to hang out for any good while, she brings a bag of groceries and cooks food for everyone(I have seen her do this at other friend's places too), when I try to cook in my own kitchen I get shooed out - but I also accidentally fed her soapy pancakes once(I was washing the dishes, mixing pancake batter, and smoking a blunt, turns out this results in..mistakes) and it made her a little ill, so at this point I do the dishes and she cooks and that's just the way it is.
We're trying to move in together by the new year because we operate pretty well as a team with household duties.
A little ill? ur great pb . Oh Yeah, I totally forgot about the defrosted chicken & flooded floor haha Made me laugh just as hard as the day it happened.

My Dad didn't cook much. He could grill fine on the rare big cook-out with his friends, but very infrequently. My mom on the other hand is a great cook. She has some different tastes than I do, presumably from her childhood and growing up in a poor area with pastrami and pot pies as a treat. She likes very well done burgers and grilled pork chops, yet pork loin a juicy medium. She cooks chicken exceptionally well. Has a ton of cook books and written recipes, and still tries out new dishes cooking only for herself today.
Fresh corn doesn't have to take any time to cook, it tastes better microwaved in wax paper than it does from a can IMO. The strings from green beans bother many people. I don't mind them whatsoever, but I'm assuming that's a perk for some people opting for cans. I just put them in a covered pot with onions, potatoes, and/or pork and simmer.

Twas a joke kidos. As in I'm attracted to women because they're supposed, SUPPOSED TO, know how to cook. But ofc it doesn't really ring true in modern times. I had to teach my last 2 gfs to cook. :l
Do you think we are reaching an age where women might not be as expected to cook as much as they once were?
Man since when could women not make sexist jokes against their own sex?
If course they can. I am cool with that. I apogize that I didn't get your joke and was rude. Would you please answer my question?
Yes. Yes.
Still I was spoiled by my first gf. Good southern cooking. I gained literally 100lbs with that girl. I prefer to cook healthier meals these days but I can definitely stir up some crazy junk food. Have you ever had french fry crust hotdog bbq pizza? It's amazing.

Thank you.
I have not had that pizza.
That Southern Cooking and style of eating I like to refer to as "killing with kindness".
Good on you for cooking healthier meals. I do the same thing myself.

This is so true. Authentic southern food is fried with lard and seasoned with fatback

But my mother-in-law is like your mom Pris. She cooks pretty bad. Don't get me wrong, some stuff is edible and even good, but most is bland and overcooked. way overcooked. Her meats suck all the moisture out of your mouth they are so dry. Her vegetables are so mushy they puree themselves under their own weight. Her noodles are indistinguishable from the broth.
but I eat it up with a grin on my face every time.
my mother had cooked a pork loin in a crock pot one day, of course there was some liquid it in, and like you said, it sucked the moisture out of my mouth, I told her it was dry and she said "it's moist enough to me" I responded, that just because it's wet doesnt mean it's moist. her attempts at what she called pepper steak over the years was no more than throw everything in a skillet and cook it until the peppers were a pudding like consistency
gawd, gross! I guess part of it is that they don't mind their own cooking. No motivation to get better. Then they get stuck in their terrible ways of doing it so it feels right to them. Also, a lot of people just don't value the art of cooking at all. Then there is the American way of being motivated by being good at something. So having people tell them they are bad at cooking makes them want to cook less, since we all want to get amazing at something we are naturally good at, to prove that we are somehow exceptional individuals. Sorry, I can turn any conversation into a discussion on philosophy and psychology.

my mom is 73 now, she's probably going to live another 20 years, my mom started saving plastic bags and the paper egg flats and broken small appliances. I've been trying to break her of this crap. I've been trying to cook, my brother comes up and cooks now and then, he thinks he's a good cook, he cooks like my mom

some dont ever wake up to realize that what they cook and their parents cooked is just bad and because they believe it's good they never really try to change it. I think mostly it's that many people just dont understand or cannot grasp good, basic techniques. they dont know how to conceptualize how a meal should look or it's flavors or what sort of textures can make it great.
I think some are also hampered by fear. they're afraid of under cooking something so they ruin the texture and flavors by overcooking it or screwing it in some other way

I dont think thats the case. My dad is a very talented craftsman but cant even cook simple recipes, same goes for almost all my relatives

I used to love my moms cooking when I was a kid, once I found the world of spices, I because started to Cook for the family needless to say at our gatherings. I feel bad when people want to make something but everyone else is all like "let SuperFly cook it."
I love sautéed garlic and onions. Use them in almost anything and everything, just makes food taste so much better. As I'm cooking I'm all like
