/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I was learning to cook when we moved in together with my girl. I wanted to do a traditional fancy food from our country that roughly translates as "Roast sirloin in sour cream sauce with dumplings". It's a vegetable-heavy sauce (carrot, parsley root, celery root) and I had very little experience. The taste was acceptable and I liked it, but boy did I fuck up the thickness. I thickened it way too much, it was almost like a fucking yoghurt, but hey, I was learning. Too bad my gf was biased towards my family's cooking - both my grandma and mother make all sauces kind of thick, and my gf was somehow allergic to that - never said a word to them, wouldn't dare, but did I have to listen to her bullshit a lot.

Her reaction was: "I know that you all can't help but make sauces shitty thick in your family, but why did you do it here? I don't wanna eat this, it's disgusting." Probably a bad time of the month.

I told her "Then don't. Are you fucking serious with this disrespect bullshit? I'm learning to cook and I did my best and this is what you give me?"
She got super upset and left. I served myself and started eating. The taste was actually spot on, my mouth is watering right now, fuck that was so good. But! She came back five minutes later and was shocked to see that I started eating without her. Made a scene.

It's been a few years and I learned to cook, but I haven't made the sauce since.
