/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Same here. My girlfriend can cook mediocre sloppa and refuses to go to the next level out of laziness.

we each have our own unique hangups due to child abuse

they're technically the better cook but we would never eat if they were in charge of daily meals so I do most of the cooking

we eat once a day

>>16443401
Your GF probably cooks like my wife, I don't blame you. Let me give you some personal insight on the matter.

I've been with my wife for 10 years now. We met in high school, and I got her pregnant.
She is and always has been a lazy person and a shit cook. I wouldn't even mind eating shit food if she at least made it on time. But she rarely did.

We'd get into screaming arguments constantly about how lazy and worthless she was. I felt like an asshole for it, but goddamn she was a real piece of work. The only reason I dealt with all this was for the kids, and also because the sex is great.

But one night, I got fed up. Not only did she get drunk, neglect the kids, and made me top Ramen for dinner, but she decided to give me attitude too. She was being real fucking bitchy. So I told my grandparents to keep an eye on the kids and told my wife we were going to go out and have dinner together. I drove maybe 3 blocks to a quiet area (we live in Arizona, it's not hard to find a quiet field) and I got out of the car, went around like I was going to open her door for her and let her out, and I just beat the shit out of her while she was still seat belted. After a few punches, I asked her if she wanted to go back to her parents. She started screaming and yelling and said yes, so I beat the shit out of her again. Then I asked her what she wanted to do. She finally got smart and said she wanted to go home. So I took her home and dared her to start trouble. I even handed her my cellphone and dialed her mom's number on the drive home. I made her talk to her mom, while daring her to fucking say something.

Before that incident, I had never laid a hand on her. But I had always threatened it. I told her "one of these days, if you don't straighten up, I'm going to lay hands on you."

All my meals have been on time, and she just recently tried to make a meatloaf. It was mediocre, but I was just thrilled that she tried.

Do with this information what you will.

I'm a better cook and baker than my sister, but she's better at grilling
Weird how it's kind of the opposite of how it usually goes

>>16443391
My wife is catching up, but I am 100% the better cook. I did like all the cooking in our house for years, but I got a job that saw me come home later and she was forced to take up the tongs and cast iron. The first few months were - interesting, but she's gotten way better.

>>16443391
i'm the better cook, but i get paid to do it so ofc i do. my man learns quickly, though, so the more he helps me the better he gets. we never have a bad meal in our house and it really does make my life that much better

>>16443457
Everyone has to go through those first few months. Those spice combinations can get pretty fucked up.

>>16443427
Hmm I think I understand. Thanks anon

>>16443391
I do almost all of the traditional cooking, my wife bakes. Thats the perfect setup IMO. The exception is she'll make some side dishes like cream spinach or something once in a while.

>>16443427
Not reading all that shit

>>16443391
I am a better cook than my wife. Both of my parents enjoy cooking and are good enough home cooks, while her mom was a really apathetic cook (and her dad never cooked), so I had better teachers to start with. I also have more experience cooking and am more willing to figure out new techniques.

We mostly cook together, though, and it's very nice having someone to split up tasks with. It makes it a lot easier to try more involved meals.

I am but not by much, I just make basic shit like jambalaya or curry or basic sauces, maybe some dumplings here and there, basically I'm a failure

>>16443541
>jambalaya
>Failure
Not on my watch anon. If yours is any good that's enough to not be a failure even if you can't make jack shit else

>>16443427
>we live in Arizona
I could've sworn it was oregon in the original

>>16443391
My wife is a terrible cook. Burns everything and makes the weirdest shit. She will make corn pancakes as a meal, burn them, put country crock on them and eat them like that. I tried to eat them one night and had the worst stomach ache. I do all the cooking and dread having to be out of town for work because she will ruin pans burning shit.

Why are you in a relationship with your sister?

Convenience. We skipped the get to know you part and got straight to the physical part.

I'm better at cooking but she's better at baking so it evens out

How much baking are you homos eating?

>>16443427
I swear I remember reading a copy pasta similar to this.

>>16443672
Too much

>>16443406
>they
Are you some kind of faggot?

my partner is better than I am

but I cook more frequently

>>16443406
just pretend to be a man and pretend your so is a woman. you'll get harassed otherwise, easiest to just lie

>>16443391
>I'm the best cook. My wife tries, but isn't the best. Just lazy.
My wife straight up walks away when she's cooking 90% of the time. Like, out of the room to sit down.
>anon
>how do you cook so well?
I pay attention to what I'm doing the entire time, unless it's something that needs to be untouched in the oven.
>but i do that
No, you don't.
>i just left the room for a couple minutes...

or
>anon
>how come your version tastes so good?
*look at her prep*
You need more seasoning.
>but i did season it
More.
>it looks fine
>how come mine doesn't taste as good?

or, if hosting and she wants to cook
>i'm going to make lemon chicken
Ok, remember to go easy on the lemon, most people don't like it that strong.
>but i like it that way
>i'm going to do it how i want
>anon
>why didn't people seem to like my chicken?

Just had to blog post vent. There's shit she can do, but cooking ain't that shit.

>>16443747
yeah this is pasta anon

>>16443844
Fuck women are so tedious.

According to my husband, I am the better cook because I like learning about new dishes or techniques. And when something doesn't turn out how I imagine it, I do research to figure out what I messed up or could tweak the recipe until I get the dish to be the way I want it to be. I also seek criticism even on some of my signature dishes because I'm always looking for ways to be better. He also says I'm more efficient in the kitchen when it comes to making an entry and sides and cleaning up as I go.

However, I would say we're both equally good cooks. There's a few dishes that he's extremely good at, and he does like to learn along side me when I say I want to try something new. I just cook more often because it's something I like to do.

>>16443816
i mean i do that in real life too, we're just two bros workin on cars

>>16443391
He doesn't know how to cook. I would, but I'm too lazy

>>16443844
Why would you ever choose to live with this

>>16443391
I'm a better cook, she's a better baker. I think part of it is she can't look at a recipe and immediately tell if it is dogshit or make adjustments that would fix it. But she can follow directions better than I can because I don't have the patience and since baking is real hard to fuck up if you just do what it tells you she almost never fucks up. But she can't make cheesecake for some reason

But she can make like 10 things well enough she's not totally inept

I am easily the better cook. She makes stupid shit like guacamole with greek yogurt and eggs. The fuck kind of shit is that?

>>16444939
Men will be slaves to an "attractive" woman. She could cheat on him and he'd still stay lmao.

>>16443391
I'm actually a chef, but my wife is almost as good as me, and she just picked it up as a hobby while in law school. She also bakes way more than I do. I pretty much let her handle daily meals, and bake our bread and stuff, and then for holidays or dinner parties or if we're just feeling fancy, that's when I step up to the plate.

>>16443768
Same. I've gained like forty pounds since I got married two months ago. She's architecting me, I swear it, always feeding me cakes and pastries.

>>16443406
>them they

>>16445089
No, that's only what you'd do. I'd justly punish them according to the Bible.

>>16443406
What are you saying here

>>16445195
Yeah, good observation. Bet he didn't intend anything of that sort.

gordita :o

Me, but we work together in the kitchen.
I can't imagine cooking with only my left hand.

>>16443391
I'm the better cook but I've just lived a few years longer and he's interested in learning so that's probably temporary.

>>16443427
This is always a treat

>>16443406
just say he you fucking faggot

>>16443391
He is getting better at cooking, though I am the better cook. He has ambition and a willingness to learn. He always wanted to learn how to cook. He'll get there.

>>16444261
Gay; the post

I am more skilled in technique but she makes a nice sloppa and always has good ideas on what to make.

>>16443427
dry aged pasta

>>16443406
So why did they ban you from /r/food?

My wife and I are pretty equal/have complimentary strengths/weaknesses.
She sticks to recipes with her small bits of flare, does a better job at pasta dishes and other comforting foods. Sometimes fish too. Also she bakes way better than me.
But I consider myself to better at experimenting, anything stew/soup/braising/etc since I tend to have more patience and plan things out more. I also think I'm better at saving a dish if things start to go south where as she will just freakout and create some abomination. Also the poor girl doesn't understand how to salt/season properly but eh.
All in all I probably am the better cook but I've just always done it more so it's a bit of unfair call

>>16446255
Similar situation at my house. My wife's food is consistently good, but she tries virtually nothing new. I am much more willing to try a dish that neither of us have ever made or even tasted before because it sounds good. A little different form you guys, though is that if something is an abomination, it's more than likely something I fucked up. Baking there's literally no comparison, some of the things she makes could literally be sold for money, and anything over smores or boxed cornbread is over my head.

>>16443391
I cook about 90% of the meals for dinner. She's very good at traditional Puerto Rican food so when she does cook dinner, she makes PR food. She cooks for the kids for breakfast/lunch but most of that is quick/easy stuff because of my daughter's dietary restrictions. The main thing that she runs into when she cooks is temperature control.

I bake and cook everything else. She has fully relinquished the kitchen as "My Domain" and is happy to eat the food I make. I am intensely critical of the food I make but she always loves it. She used to be a better baker than me but I caught up and surpassed her super quickly. I am intensely fortunate though as I very rarely have to do the dishes.

I'm glad that she embraces my cooking hobby and takes care of the kids while I work upstairs. Its a goddamn good life.

>>16443391
She's better at certain dishes she's made a thousand times, but I'm the better cook overall, purely because it's a hobby for me.

>>16443391
Me certainly, my gf don't cook. I'm teaching her. She made chicken pot pie under my guidance recently. Pic unrelated

>>16443391
My wife has no consistency but makes more meals, whereas I make everything at a high level but only make a few things.

I make a great oriental food, and I make good steak, whereas wife will fuck a steak up one week and make it perfect another.

>>16443391
My gf cooks ethnic food. Our expertise doesn't overlap enough to judge which of us is "better".

>>16443391
>significant other
>>>/reddit/

>>16443391
My girlfriend taught me everything I know (I had a weird childhood). I cook more often than her now, though.
I think in a couple of months we'll be comparable, since I have a couple of blind spots in my cooking (she makes better dry rubs and marinades)

One of my most recent ex insisted on cooking all of the time but mostly just did over-complicated things that she read about on pinterest except when something went wrong she'd panic and fuck it up. She also was pretty commandeering and freaked about every tiny thing I did while cooking even though my dishes would always be better. I was a bit of a pushover at the time though and eventually just stopped bothering all together unless I was making something when she wasn't home. I still don't understand how she seemed to use like 20 pans, plates, pots, an instapot, a crockpot, a rice cooker while just making bland chicken and rice with a jarred sauce.

>>16443427
It's been awhile. In a related matter, my ex-fiancé was a lazy bitch who had 5 days off in a row every week and cooked maybe one meal a month. I paid for fucking everything- bills, rent, food, (I would often buy food to cook and i'd be too tired after work and it would spoil and have to be thrown out) mowed the grass, took her out all the time, but all she did all day was stare at her fucking phone. I hate her so fucking much. I'm glad she's dead.

>>16443391
I've never dated a woman that could cook. I'm always expected to prepare meals since I spent many years doing so for a living. It's probably for the best since I tend to date low class idiots that think instant boxed foods are acceptable.

>>16443391
We're about the same. I cook better breakfast food and have a couple signature dishes, she does better than me at everything else

>>16443460
tits or gtfo

My wife can cook, and pretty well too, but I am the cook in the house and prefer it that way. I really enjoy cooking and especially for someone else. If I were single I probably wouldn't cook as much. We've been together for 15 years and I have made almost every meal. She cleans up which is the part I dislike so it works out well.
Tonight it is fresh tomato sauce over gnocchi with garlic bread.

>>16443406
lol retard

>>16445195
My immediate thought as well.

Gf won a nationwide cooking contest as a teenager in her country and was even offered a full scholarship to a top culinary school. So needless to say it's not me.

>>16447694
Do you watch and learn from her though? It's nice to have someone to learn from.

>>16447738
My mother is also a culinary arts instructor, and her family owned a restaurant in Germany for like 200 years. So I really have no excuse to be as lame at cooking as I am. I can only do easy things like spaghetti, egg fried rice, or simple soups.

Through college and even now (I have my own place but I'm not very far from my parents) she packs me shit tons of leftovers to take with me when I visit. So there was never much incentive to learn. But I bought/borrowed some cooking stuff and I'm gonna start trying to make my own stuff here in a bit. I'm gonna make a Bavarian pork stew recipe my mom has from the old restaurant that is slightly more complicated than what I usually make but is still pretty easy.

GF is Asian so she can help me more when I make those type dishes.

>>16447778
Nice anon. Soak up that knowledge. I really just learned from experimentation and watching videos. I learn a lot just from watching people cook. Half of the videos I watch aren't even in English and I just watch what they do. I've cooked Indian food for years but I'm really trying to "master" it now. My Indian neighbors keep asking to try my cooking but I don't have the confidence yet. That will be the ultimate test lol. I made a Dal Tadka the other night that I was quite pleased with though.

My girlfriend doesn't cook or do dishes. It's very fucking frustrating. She'll also call me at 5:45 before I get off work at 6:00 and ask me to pick up shit she wants for dinner. Like if she wants chicken Parmesan she lets me know after I've worked 10.5 hours to pick the shit up from the store and I have to drive in traffic tired af and then come home and cook it and do dishes.

I'll admit though, I'm anon through and through. I lost my virginity to her at 28 and we've been together two years and she's literally the only pussy I've ever had. She's 23 and attractive though, and she makes good money. It's a case of "man this bitch is lazy but I'm a literal spergazoid 4chan faggot and she's 23 and hot so I'll deal with anything".

>>16443391
Gf makes great breads and cookies, but I do 90% of the meal cooking. She's not bad at cooking, but always either under-seasons or over-seasons the dish. Doesn't salt the pasta water, doesn't taste as she goes, seasons heavily before reducing a sauce, etc.

>>16448044
I'm a jay Kenji Lopez Alt compared to her and it fucking sucks bro. She'll only bake (which I actually hate doing so I guess it works out) or eat cold or microwaved foods other than that. Teach your children to cook people, because you'll bbe saving their future partner from having to either do alllll the fucking work or will only ever be given mediocre turkey sandwiches or Kraft blue box for dinner.

One thing my wife makes that's fucking good is Japanese comfort food.

こぼちゃ with ponzu sauce
やきそば with bacon
Curry, but with rib-eye beef.

>>16449234
Is she Japanese, or just likes to make such foods? I'm not Japanese, but I like to cook with fish and miso frequently. They're always easy on my stomach. If I was in the right state of mind, I think having a Japanese wife to cook with would be quite pleasant.

>>16447996
Hell yeah dude. Still most women get real annoying after 2 years. Crazy you haven't got tired of her

>>16443391
My wife because she has emotions

I'm better, but I like trying new things so I fuck up from time to time, whereas she makes consistently okay food.

Higher highs, lower lows.

>>16443391
wife: better cook
me: better BBQer, I also tend our garden, hunt and fish and provide

This is the way it should be.

>>16443844
>More.
there are too few people that understand this basic fact

How do I get gf

I'm so fucking lonely guys. I don't have the confidence to put myself out there but god dammit, I don't want to die alone.

>>16450348
Find a tranny that almost looks like a woman. Their self confidence is generally even lower than that of a teenage girl.

>>16450321
>>16450348
confidence is the reason you will die alone if you don't man up and start shooting your shot. The hard part is knowing you will get rejected most of the time but trying anyway. If you can overcome this you will be fine. Its like applying for jobs. Just understand this will happen and learn from your failures of hitting on women and eventually you will be fine. Drunk fat girls are the easiest. Just get your dick wet for a while and you will grow slowly but surely into a genuine casanova.

I would attempt to strike up conversations at the grocery store, bars, wherever you are where there are single girls. Be confident but not cocky. Ask them about shit they don't care about. Women love talking about themselves. All they care about when you talk about shit is like if you have money and hobbies and can give them security and if you exercise that helps. But don't talk about a show you like or try to seem intellectual they could give 2 fucks less.

I do most things better than my wife, she's better at having my kid i'll give her that.

GF is a good cook, but I do most cooking, dishes, cleaning and laundry since she is the one who earns money and I get to be a trophy husband.

>>16450860
>GF
>Husband
One of the worst larps I've seen. Well done.

>>16450865
you don't have to be married to be called a trophy wife/husband anon

>>16450872
By definition of the words wife and husband, you do.

>>16450884
ok trophy boyfriend then. sorry to ruin your day anon friend.

>>16443391
I'm the better cook. My wife had a terrible parents who spoil her and never thought her anything useful in life. But she's learning.
