"can you cook?"


  

          

like. How do you answer that? I enjoy it...does that mean I can?
what do men think of my answer...

I'm a player

two potentials in the line up.

#1 got me beat by a few years, handsome, witty and talks of God. lives further tho

#2 I'm intimidated but his beauty..his physique. Might be high maintenance. He's right here tho...oh and I have him beat by a year.

I'm leaning towards #1

/

who has plans this weekend?

she played me.

when we were dating she cooked ALL the time.

now tho, especially with our schedules I do most of the cooking.

I love to cook tho and I'm sure I prolly said I'm better at it so she just lets me do my thing.

She'll cook and then complain I won't eat it. Love that's more left overs for you.
Like she'll cook an entire meal without a meat, what the fuck is a vegetable.

my wife needs a recipe to put something together. Which is fine but sometimes recipes need tweaking. I usually point out changes she should make. Then when the meal is just okay she is like i should have listened to you. But I cook 99.9% of the meals.

some people cook and what they put in front of you is edible. you'd eat it and not be hungry anymore. but there wasn't anything special about what they made.

then you got people that cook and the end result is food that tastes great that you would want them to make for you again.

you can tell the difference between the two in any potluck type situation.

and you can tell based on whether or not people who have tasted something you cooked asked you to make it again...

you need witty not just pretty...

how far is further tho? end game is ultimately together so distance is somewhat moot but it could be a big factor in getting there if were talking straight up long distance.

I'm trying to be reasonable about what he looks like. I definitely have a type tho...
like, I prefer men with hair and damn near every guy is bald.

is it a fashion thing? Are men scared to grow hair?

24. "short hair is the fashion.. a tight fade is universal"
In response to Reply # 21


  

          

anything beyond that varies into the land of unkempt and unprofessional in the land of white folk, unless you got flat straight hair, for myself I get big hair and end up looking like echo and the bunnymen until it gets long enough to fall.. in the land of black folk it's a whole other thing and I'm not qualified to really know... but I wouldn't be surprised if for example Kaepernick wouldn't have been scorned so hard for taking the knee had he not been rocking that kick ass afro.

then there's the whole balding and hairline thing which lots of folks accross the board default to buzzing and or shaving.

personally I keep my hair short because it helps fight the bed head and get out the door quicker... mind you when I was working from home I stopped cutting and shaving for several months and honestly loved it ... I looked pretty sketchy though.

so yeah I'd say it's fashion and convenience in general... long hair is a pain in the ass to maintain and "ain't nobody got time for that"

if it was regular or sweet potato

Blueberry? Ughhh fruit doesn't belong on salads or desserts.

Nuts don't belong on a salad either for that matter, but pay me no mind cuz I don't even like croutons.

I use one of those meal delivery services like Blue Apron. I like cooking, and I damn sure know a lot more about it than before I started it when the most complicated thing I ever cooked was grilled cheese. But without a recipe I have no idea what I'm doing.

28. "its an experience thing"
In response to Reply # 20


          

like, if you know how to grill cheese, you understand:
how warm the skillet needs to be for bread
what cooking buttered bread is supposed to sound like
how much heat it takes to melt cheese and how long that heat takes to get through a layer of bread
timing

the knowledge transfers to eggs, bacon, vegetables, searing steak

experiential stuff that you have to run up against is stuff like:

thicker vegetables like carrots need to go in first

ground beef needs to cook at the highest setting so the cooking speed matches the evaporation of the moisture to keep from having to drain

finished deep fried food floats

steak/chicken finishing times

eggs lose heat faster than other breakfast foods so they cook last.

38. "Yeah thats a lot of what I've been learning"
In response to Reply # 28


          

I've amazed myself at meals I've made. All types of cuisines. Type of stuff you would order at a restaurant but never think you could make at home. You realize that it's not really rocket science to make actual meals that aren't frozen pizza.

I'm surprised that grocery stores haven't caught on to the "meal kit" thing. Just put the ingredients that are already in your store together with a recipe card. I want to cook, but I don't know what to cook, and it's nice to not have to buy a whole package of something just to use a pinch of it in one recipe.

In response to Reply # 39


          

For example, a recipe I did recently used cream cheese and ricotta. The meal kit came with the exact amounts of those, basically a spoonful each. At the grocery store I would have had to buy a whole tub.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Basically everything I can make has one hour total prep-and-cook time or less. Anything that is quick, I am good at it. Steaks, fried chicken, pan seared/sauteed seafood, sashimi plates, salad, burgers, sandwiches, french toast, pancakes and shit like that? I got it on lock, I can make it, make it efficiently and make it well. Shit that takes more time and prep, nah, I am good on that. I sort of hate baking and I am not much for grilling either though I can do that all right.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

32. "i'm good on the grill and using my smoker"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

anybody who has had food i cooked out on my deck has asked me to make it again. shit is good.

but

put me in the kitchen, and i'm worthless. i can cook and the food would be edible. you'd eat it and no longer be hungry. but anything i'd make would just be okay. you wouldn't ask me to make it again unless you were once again faced with either eating my cooking or being hungry.

i was never interested in cooking. but grilling and barbecuing always spoke to me. as a kid, i'd see my father & my uncles and men in the neighborhood standing over a hot smokey grill doing their thing and it just seemed cool. like that's some shit a man is supposed to do. men were created to cook food over fire.

the kitchen never called to me like that.

I ain't lyin. This shit i'm making up is true...

35. "great description"
In response to Reply # 32


          

my father was a chef for a while so seeing him cook a steak or make my favorite food (french fries) as a kid made me appreciate cooking.

My dad and my uncle were always on the grill. Even now my uncle still grills when we all get together. Shit is like church for us.

up early, smoking a joint and drinking a beer at 10AM talking about the upcoming football season or some random shit while waiting on those coals.

In response to Reply # 32


  

          

i am not afraid of a grill but the whole process doesn't speak to me and frankly in most cases i do not like the flavor it adds to the meat. i was exposed to bbq growing up but also a mix of french and moroccan cooking that had the grill in a limited role. i love throwing stuff together quickly and creatively to feed a big, hungry bunch of people.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

37. "yes. it's the most valuable and rewarding skill i've ever learned"

growing up my parents were always working late or out of town on business so me and my sisters had to each make dinner for everyone at least once a week M-F. mind you we never were actually taught how to cook for real, e.g. using seasoning (yes, i am white), cutting up veggies, using garlic and onions, etc. it was mostly boxed and canned meals. but it was a good baseline. i didn't learn how to actually cook until i got in a long term relationship with a woman who was similarly taught cooking at a young age (legit cooking: greens, corned beef and cabbage, homemade spaghetti sauce, etc.), and was like, "what are you doing? why aren't you using salt and pepper? onions aren't the devil!" after observing my "cooking" "techniques"

for the past 5-6 years i have regularly watched cooking shows on TV and YT, absorbing a lot of cooking techniques via osmosis and observation, i.e. spice toasting, proper cutting techniques, searing, generating fond, etc. once i accepted that not every meal is going to be amazing, and that sometimes they're going to be basura-adjacent, i threw myself into it and started having fun while cooking. i now have a pretty hefty skill set and a shockingly (to me) diverse set of dishes that i can just bust out at a moment's notice. it feels great to be able to generate a tasty meal from raw ingredients in just under 45 minutes. or making a soup or stew, or braising a cheap cut of meat until it's falling of the bone

dirty dishes and cookware can fuck right off though. i hate cleaning so much that it legit prevents me from cooking. the last thing i want to do after a 10 hour shift is cook for 30-45 minutes and then clean dishes for another 10-15. "clean as you go" is a mantra that i need to really embrace

that and figuring how to use 1 pan/pot for a dish thats probably supposed to use 3 is like writing a concerto

I'm gonna take a the days off from searching and clean my apartment.

thats just small talk unless he is about 350 pounds...


if they like you they wont care if you can cook or clean...

just be honest...

I definitely prefer of woman who can cook. I mean it probably wouldn't be a deal breaker for me but that's a nice little bonus.
