He said he would “cook for us” and presented this monstrosity. No thanks, I don’t think I’ll be coming over again.

    The post alone makes me angrier than the cooking result, and that’s saying something.

    It looks like student cuisine. Is it really so reprehensible that someone improvises with limited resources? To me, it shows a lot of potential because the good will is there.

    People have different skill sets and levels. So, instead of looking down on it, maybe next time you should cook with him instead of arrogantly posting a photo for praise from people who, unlike this person, have no influence on your life?

    Pro tip: Cooking together is a fantastic date.

        You did… What? Make me angrier? Good job! Stop interrupting an old man who’s yelling at clouds!

        (… and start appreciating, for fuck’s sake. I know what it looks like.)

            I’m sorry. I’m pulling your chain, it’s all good. It’s supposed to be a joke on myself. I tried to give well-intentioned advice and tried to play it up by “doubling down”.

            Edit: Damnit, I’m making it worse! Your joke was fine! I couldn’t handle it well! There! Gawd!
