When smoking salmon, don't light the tail. It's hard to keep it lit.

take the core out of a head of lettuce and put it in a gallon zip lock bag. It will stay fresh for weeks.

I wish they would make refried beans in smaller cans like tomato sauce.

weird fact. "No Fat" refried beans, in the cheap can, taste the same as regular refried beans. i have no idea how they do that since the main ingredient in refried beans is bacon grease.

Why would one want to save the core of a head of lettuce?

So the BF recently brought up how I don't cook. I reminded him how he acts when I cook, how his family makes jokes about my cooking, so why should I waste my time. He was like no no it's not like that.

I cooked for 4 days straight - my son liked everything. The Bf had complaints on every single thing. BY Thursday I was fucking done.

I'm really good at baking and doing breakfast, but I guess every other thing I make is flavorless, dry, too watery, or just blah. I'm fucking over it. We got together and he was the one that does the cooking. All my exes have done the cooking- like this is the way we met why the fuck are you expecting me to be like Rachel Ray all of a sudden. / end rant

It actually really hurts my feelings and makes me incredibly sad and deflated. Why should I even try if everything sucks??

There is no gravity. The earth sucks.

And my ex and I had the same deal. I cooked and she did the dishes. She knew when I was pissed aboot something because I would make everything dirty. :lol:

I misread that said "There is no gravy" and thought maybe that's what's wrong with Disco's cooking.

Most people who are food snobs can't tell the difference between the expensive stuff and the cheap stuff unless you show them while you make it. You will find several of them here.

So the first night was rubbed chicken with roasted veges (brocoli, Brussels, mushrooms and garlic) that was the only good night.

Then I did burgers which were too "hard" and dry with roasted taters, then I did taco salad - spices from the cabinet, not a packet and Spanish rice (from a box) and the meat wasn't flavorful enough and there was still some water in the rice (I think I misread the directions) 😑 then by Thursday night it was take out.

The BF is from an Italian family, they're food snobs. Also, I do not cook from a place of love - so there's that.

The difference between a taco and a tostada is a box of broken taco shells on the markdown rack.
