/ck/ - Food & Cooking

The most "cooking" that my parents did while I was growing up consisted of baked chicken breasts with BBQ sauce slathered over it. Luckily they've gotten better at it over time, but yikes.
My grandmother on my mother's side also couldn't cook for shit, and my grandmother on my father's side died young (though my grandfather's new wife is a great cook).
I wish I could have inherited my great-grandmother's cookbooks for some authentic Penn Dutch recipes, but a distant relative cleaned out her apartment after she died.
Most women I know who are my age can cook, not quite sure where this meme comes from.

"classic" American dishes are horrible. Good fucking riddance.

This, in addition to the fact that homemaking hasn't been a full-time job in many, many decades. There's a reason why so many women were on barbituates in the 50's. There's just not enough work to make life meaningful with modern amenities and only a couple kids (who spend most of their time in school after a certain age). The "traditional" family model is shit unless you're a parasite or okay with supporting a parasite whose day consists of browsing facebook and throwing shit into a slowcooker.

It's your fault that you decided to marry a lazy cunt, anon.
