>> No.5149282

I fucking hate it when people store things in the oven. My grandparents used to store boxes of cereal in the oven, a habit that my mom eventually picked up and started doing out of the blue one day. Just so happens that I also chose that day to bake some chicken, so first thing I do: preheat the oven to 375 and go watch tv while it warmed up. A few minutes later, there's all of a sudden smoke billowing out of the kitchen and the smoke alarms going off as 4 fucking boxes of cereal ignited in the oven.

I couldn't tell if my dad was more pissed off at me for cranking up the oven and not checking inside first, or at my mom for putting the god damn cereal in the fucking oven to begin with.

My mom used to store pans that were too big for any of her cabinets in the oven, but she has always been meticulous about her kitchen and has never forgotten once that they were in there. Also, we weren't allowed to use any appliances besides the microwave without her express permission, so there was no danger of someone turning the oven on.

My mom used to store pots and pans in the oven too sometimes. It wasn't a lot of stuff in the oven itself but it was a gas oven so there was a pilot light on in it which made it a warm, not hot, just a little warm, so let's say she washed out a pot or pan she could sit in the oven and over an hour or so they'd dry out.

I really don´t mind cooking together. The problem is when:

-I had cravings for that special dish and have only enough ingredients for one portion. So I now have to endure and eat pasta with my roommate instead.

-I really feel like grabbing my plate, go to my room and fuck around in the internet while eating and scratching my balls. Not entabling a civilized conversation with my roommate, telling how my day was and washing dishes together.

I know exactly what you mean but even if it's a little inconvenient at first, developing the social skill to eat a meal together while making conversation is really useful in both romantic relationships and your career. You will lern to like it and make it part of your day, trust me.

So you're a privileged fuck, is what you're saying.
Not everyone gets to have a grand old time with their best bros. A lot of us have to shack up with people we're unfamiliar with or people we don't know. For that matter, I roomed up with two friends in college who ended up being total shitheels. They cleaned up real nice and looked good in public but at home they lived like fucking pigs.

One of my roommates ordered shirts in bulk via Threadless and Zazzle. He spent literally SIX MONTHS not doing laundry or wearing the same shirt twice. He'd get home, throw his shirt on the floor, and get another from the closet the next day. It ended when I put all of it into garbage bags, drove it to the cleaners, paid for wash and fold, and presented him with the bill.

Three months later he asked me to do it again.

Someone is doing something very wrong. Frying might occaisionally splatter something but if it's so bad that things are covered in grease after less than a week something is VERY VERY wrong.

Thoughts:
-using too high of a heat
-putting damp foods into the oil
-frying cheap meat that was injected with "flavoring solution"

Most splattering occurs when water (from meat or marinade or whatever) gets into the oil. Avoiding the splatter is as simple as eliminating that moisture. No extra moisture = no splatter.

I don't have any delusions that I'm making any 4 star meals, but I care a lot about my cooking and my food, so when we first moved in I spent a really long time organizing the kitchen, and subsequently have spent hours cleaning all their dishes, and wiping down counters and the stove, in a vain attempt at having a normal kitchen. They have zero respect for the time and effort i've put in.

When I complained about it to them a few months ago, they agreed to be more aware of their mess. Load of bullshit. They are perfectly fine with leaving stacks of shit covering our front counter, from the sink to the wall, because they'll just end up ordering shitty oversized pizza again and again and again, and shoving the leftovers in to the fridge.

Yeah, I don't really like them anymore. I moved in with them because I was familiar with them, and I assumed that they'd want to behave like actual people.

The loneliest times are when I'd walk home from going to class then working 7 hours, the whole time on my feet, just wanting to cook something nice and healthy and tasty, and they're all sitting on their asses watching shows they've watched 50 times before, while pans are cold and caked over on the stove top.

"We had just finished cooking, we would have gotten to it." They think i'm an asshole.

I can tell when a pan has been sitting out for hours. I'm not stupid.

Yes. I have parents who seem to find it way to difficult to put cling wrap on anything. They'll just put an open bowl of food in the fridge letting it dry out, impart its flavours onto everything else and vice versa. Even halved onions, which isn't something you should put in the fridge anyway, but... I mean, I just don't know why they do it.

Our kitchen here is pretty big and we all have our own separate cabinets. So the mess is spread out. Still, holy shit wash your dishes, how hard is it? Fridge is always jam full, shit falling out whenever I open it. They just buy shit and never eat it because they always get takeout instead. They're turning fatter by the day. Nasty pigs.

This shit. You don't like it? Fine, don't eat it. Actually making fun of someone for it? My dad used to do that shit, drove me up a wall. It's what a 6 year old would do. Unless it smells awful and stinks up the whole house, then that's valid. Eggs are pretty innocuous, though.

We have the fridge set on 3 and stuff still freezes in it. Makes thawing meat impossible, have to put it on the countertop for a few hours. Someone used to have it set to 6, and shit froze solid, my milk was a milkshake, thought it had gone rancid because there were solids, but just frozen.

the house i'm currently living in is absolutely great but one of my housemates has some funny old habits

he has the only bedroom on the ground floor and the ground floor bathroom has no sink so he keeps his toothbrush and shit in the kitchen, and it moves from cupboard to cupboard constantly, sometimes i'll go to grab some garlic and it'll be there, one time it was resting against the opening of a bag of turmeric, one time i found it in a multipack of twiglets, i'm not sure he even uses the thing

guy can't cook for shit, he's tried to make banoffee pie like 6 times over the last year and each time about a third of it gets eaten and the rest rots in the fridge til one of us throws it out. the first 2 times it turned into a soup with the biscuit base rising to the top, last few times it's been relatively stable but the condensed milk hasn't been caramelised at all and the whole thing is offensively sweet. guy doesn't take criticism well and he doesn't even like his own food so i do not know why he tries to make this for every special occasion.

also whenever i am cooking something for myself and he's around, he will fidget nearby wordlessly until the exact moment where i've plated up and i'm going to sit on the sofa, at which point he'll quickly say 'oh can i get some of that'. that fucking 'oh' pisses me off so much, you knew this was coming you vulture. then he'll help himself to a portion, finish it and go back for seconds without my realising, rinse the pan under the sink even if there's still food in it and put it in the cupboard with soap suds and bits of sauce dripping down the sides.

Are you me? I seriously feel like we live with the same people.

Man, this makes me really miss my former roommates and apartment. The current space is tiny (like, two actual counters tiny and it's not even a galley kitchen). It takes very little effort for the room to get dirty. I work at a restaurant and even though I hate this kitchen, I treat it as I would at work - shit needs to be cleaned and put properly in their place.

I also don't understand the amount of wastefulness that occurs in the apartment.

What they were bad at was cooking for themselves when I was working late shifts. I once walked in at 1am and one of them was sitting on the couch, playing one of the GTA games. He looked up and asked "so, what's for supper". I blinked and went to bed but damn the nerves...

My mom once put leftover pizza on that thing of cardboard and placed it back in the recently turned off oven to keep it warm.

She thought that because it was only set to 200 degrees that it didn't matter that it was on 450 3 minutes ago.

The guy roommate is fat as fuck and so stupid when it comes to cooking. Thinks the world should bow down to him because "Muh marine status!". Guy lives off Taco Bell,Chinese Food, and Mt. Dew. Watched him microwave 2 of those large pizzas and consume them in under a couple minutes. Followed by over half a liter of Mt. Dew. Perhaps I'm just being picky with this one, but I really hate it when both of them leave pop cans sitting around. Sometimes full, sometimes empty.

$255 rent is really nice,but at what cost? Apartment is actually pretty nice,but I know I can kiss my deposit goodbye.

>PS3 games are all in cases that they don't belong in

I fucking HATE this. When I lived with my mom and sister, they'd do this all the time with my DVDs and CDs. I loaned my sister's friend a DVD one time, and a month or two after she gave it back, I noticed the DVD was missing out of the case. I asked the friend about it, and she said she didn't have it. I just assumed she'd broken it or something. I was quite bitter about it for a while. Then one day I was looking through the DVD shelf and saw one of my sister's movies there. While marveling at what shit taste my sister had, I opened the case and lo and behold, there was the missing DVD I thought her friend had stolen/broken. In the DVD case for Honey, starring Jessica Alba, a movie about inner-city kids expressing themselves through dance.

One of the slickest things I've done for kitchen organization was to throw out all the dishes except for just enough for a small handfull of people to eat. The only reason you could possibly need 18 forks and 13 glasses is so that you can neglect doing the dishes.I keep a few spares stashed away to cover breakage, but otherwise...
