Home cooking

Be grateful that someone thought enough about me to make me diner. And perhaps casually suggest we join a cooking class together.
That's not dinner, that's a health hazard.
I legit thought those were someone's balls
Consider seeing a doctor?
Looks boiled, not raw. Still, it shouldn't be boiled.
I mean if the other partner goes to work and the other is at home, it's fair to expect the stay at home one to take on the burden of most housework imo.
Full day of work and then your partner gives you shit about not cooking your own food? Fucking hell
Where do you see it stated that she doesn't work? Maybe that's the best she can manage after a long day of work herself
Where did you see that she does work? We're all going on supposition here. She doesn't work, fair to expect housework. She also works, fair to expect sharing the housework imo
Maybe she goes into work earlier than he does, maybe she works from home, maybe she does shift work. There is nothing "baked in" to this scenario.
No, your bias leans towards this. Careful, your misogyny is showing.
It doesn't state the information either way. She may or may not work. Insisting that she doesn't is YOU (and the original person I replied to) adding information. I accept that both options are possible. Can you?
Agnostocism? 😂 If you were truly agnostic, you wouldn't have started pushing your view.
As for logic 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don't need to prove she definitely is working, that's not how logic works. It's sufficient that I can provide even one reasonable scenario under which she could be home earlier than him but still work full time, to disprove the statement that she doesn't work. So here you go: maybe she works from home, so she cooked because she didn't have to commute.
I get it - you interpret this scenario as evidence of her being lazy and/or incompetent. You want to buy into that, for whatever personal reasons of your own, so you ignore the facts:
-
The picture is misleading - the chicken is cooked, that colour is a sauce. You can tell if you look closely to the right of the chicken, and to the area below the chicken where the sauce comes onto the vegetables. So not only did she cook him chicken, she even made him a sauce with it.
-
The scenario is similarly presented in a misleading way to evoke an emotional reaction from the reader.
a) You only know about his coming home from work because that is what he chose to tell you. He wants you to identify with him, to remember that exhausted feeling after a hard day of work.
b) You know nothing about her circumstances. That allows the reader to inject their personal bias into the scenario, which you can see from the varied responses to the post. Your bias is toward a traditional provider/home maker relationship, which is why in your opinion such an opinion is "baked in" to the scenario. I don't have that bias because I know too many women who work and still do the majority of the household work. My experience is not the exception - there is a tremendous amount of research on this topic.
We are a generation of young women who were told we could do anything and instead heard that we had to be everything.

So, maybe she works. Maybe she doesn't work outside the home but recently gave birth to twins and hasn't slept properly in weeks. Maybe she has a chronic illness that makes cooking difficult. Maybe she was never taught how to cook and is trying really hard to teach herself. Maybe that meal tastes amazing.
All I'm asking is that you see her as a human who maybe had a tough day too. To think critically and not just allow your emotions to be manipulated.
Oooohhh personal attacks... yep, you have nothing of value to respond with. Byyyyyeee
This is such a British photo.
I agree but I don’t know what about it makes your statement true.
It's the complete and total lack of seasoning, apart from what appears to be pepper on the chicken. Also the fact that the concept of "crunch", or any form of texture, seems to be a foreign concept.
As a former Brit, we like crunch in sandwiches by adding potato chips to them.
You people genuinely eat like it's the Blitz sometimes.
Have you read the news lately? We're just training for the next few years.
Potatoes came from Peru like 500 years ago, thank God. Brits are not alone in this tbh, have you ever seen German food? 🤷
That makes a lot of sense. The best I could come up with was that it looks goopy.
But Brits are famous for their fish & chips and the chips in that are crunchy
They're usually soggy, actually
They put vinegar on them sometimes.
Despite the fact it's obviously American.
You are clearly not familiar with how much Canadians are into Kraft dinner.
I haven’t had anything but meth and bud lights in days what am I gonna say? Thank you queen
What the fuck is your life 💀💀💀
I‘m literally just vibing and having good food like OP posted
IKR, bud lite?
At least it wasn't meth lite. That shit is nasty.
Jokes aside, it all depends on the context, what are their skills? What is the thought behind it. How much money is there around?Does it taste good?
If you know she cooks well then this may be bad. If she is absolutely new, this may even be a sweet gesture.
dies of food poisoning
Doesn't matter, had sex.
Ligma
Yeah that chicken is absolutely not cooked.
Thank her and tell her how much i appreciate her? Wtf else would you do?
My brother it's raw
It’s my fault for not clarifying what, “trying it raw once” meant.
It looks more like its boiled chicken.
yes, that
and covered with pinkish sauce sprinkled with dried herbs(i guess)
It's a meal that I don't have to cook after a hard day of work, and is most likely an expression of love. There's nothing that tastes better than that.
Honesty and the ability to receive constructive criticism are pretty great things in a relationship. Since it doesn't pass as 'something I don't have to cook', I would just thank her a lot, and apologise but say I prefer it a bit more well done, and perhaps show her how I like it. Maybe mention the risks that come with undercooked chicken. I would also be infinitely grateful if she showed me nice tricks or just simply explain in detail how she would like me to do stuff for her. All kinds of stuff.
if your girl makes this for you, you must have a fantastic insurance policy lmao
There's nothing that tastes better than that.
Lmao
Didn't know love tasted like salmonella
That shit took 5 mins to prepare tops. Like if someone slaved away in the kitchen and it just turns out bad that's one thing. I can put on a brave face and appreciate the effort for that. This plate on the other hand is an insult to the chicken that died for it. Hard to imagine that someone didn't mess it up on purpose to be honest. I wouldn't say that of course but I wouldn't eat it either. "I'm sorry, it just doesn't look like something I'd like to eat. If you like it that's great but be sure the chicken is thoroughly cooked. I'd rather make something else for myself now." That's what I'd like to hear in a situation like that so that's what I'd say.
I'd probably mention how it looks raw and unappetizing, but put it in a nice constructive manner.
Just suffering through that shit doesn't sound like a good relationship imo
I know what id be doing in about 3 hours afterwards.
Tell her she did great, but the chicken could be cooked a bit more.
but that's just color of sauce
drumsticks are barely visible
Isn't that the skin? To me they look like they were boiled.
You can see it spillong on that yellow sauce(jam like one on bottom) (red ellipses)
(while only parts of skin I see are marked in green ellpses):
there are visible ground pepper(or dried herbs) visible sprinkled on sauce
to me that looks like Russian dressing or fry sauce
Man, here I thought they were a pair of animal testicles. I rather believe you instead.
mmm,
white kidneys (sauteed with onions) with polenta 😋
The effort u put into breaking it all down 😭love it
you shut the fuck up, eat, and next time, you do the cooking. Your girl is not at your service.
...the chicken is literally raw.
I get the "respect partners as people" angle but you have to at least look at the image and the community
I think it might be boiled.
I love the maliciously positive comments about this fake senario.
None of you would eat the salmonella chicken, no matter how much you respect your spouse.
Lol. You can really tell who has and hasn't been in a long term relationship in the comments.
How?
Just by guessing.
Oh no sorry babe i'm actually vegan now. What a shame.
Also allergic to dying of salmonella.
Realise that I was supposed to get groceries
The her to hospital because clearly she had a mental breakdown, stroke, trauma, what ever.
eat out
Vegetables 🍆
Are... Are those balls?
I'm married. I do most of the cooking anyway. My wife is banned from cooking chicken because of the last time. So... "<Wife's name>, we talked about this. No chicken. Let's go to the Mexican restaurant nearby tonight."
I don't know what happened, so maybe I'm assuming too much, but wouldn't it be better for her to try again so that she can improve?
It's not a real rule. More like a running joke, because she's had problems getting chicken dishes right more than anything else. It probably does not come across on a random comment on the Internet, but I do think it would be kinda crazy to actually have rules like that in a real relationship.
Did they cook that meal with sunlight?
Calling poison control
Well at least it's no longer encased in jello
Die. Your choice whether from hunger or food poisoning.
Go to bed
