/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>tfw you're getting so old you can no longer see why kids love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch

Its like i've got a mouthful of goddamn sugar. I can't believe I used to love this shit.

Is anyone else more interested in the 'thought' of cooking than actually doing it?
I watch cooking shows and collect cook books and have tons of recipies laying around i've clipped from magazines and found on the internet and elsewhere, and I always buy all these different spices and herbs and stuff, and I love it all...

...but as soon as I go to actually cook something.. I get nervous and just chicken out and end up burning everything or saying fuck it and making a microwave dinner.
I always brag about how great of a cook I am to everyone at work and my friends, when I can hardly chop a potato without cutting my hand.

Anyone else feel this way?

>order chili as your last meal
>tiny bowl arrives in front of you
>no beans
>vegetarian chili
>tofu instead of beef
>its not even hot
>don't get any crackers with it
Just throw the switch. I'd already be in hell.

>trying to carve off a nice, perfectly straight piece of cheese without a cheese slicer
Ughh.. this is the worst kind of hell

I just get like 4 double cheese burgers and inhale them like a fat shit in one sitting because I have no willpower

>making stir fry with long grain rice because you're too much of a pussy to buy jasmine or anything too 'exotic'

Oh fuck /ck/ its horrible
I got a bowl of ice cream before work, and I must've had a brain fart because I left it in the fridge instead of the freezer.
Its cold, but... ugh..
Is it fucked?
Can I re-freeze it?
Did I just waste an entire gallon?

Sometimes... just sometimes.. I hate working in retail.

>tfw you're getting so old you can no longer see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Its like having a mouthful of goddamn sugar for breakfast.
I can no longer enjoy this.

...I can't be the only one

>put on some water to boil
>sit down and play some vidya for a few minutes
>lose track of time
>"Hey.. whats that smell..
>OH GOD THE WATER
>water all boiled dry
>hard water crust all over everything

FUCK.

>mfw all these great recipes but I have no 9x13
Fuck.
I'll probably resort to getting some cheap aluminum shit, unless I can find a good casserole dish under $10

>mfw I sat at my brothers house all day munching on ginger cookies and was already pretty full by the time dinner came around
>mfw I missed out on the sweet potatoes and bean cassarole because I couldn't eat another bite

Its tough being a fatass during the holidays, /ck/
So much food to eat, so little time or room.
