Some awful beer from a brand called Magic Hat.

My parents "cooking" was the main reason I forced myself to learn the basics in my youth. I am a pretty mediocre cook because of it now thank god.

My dad can only make top ramen (which he would drain like pasta and mix with the packet and butter. Hated top ramen a long time because I thought it was how it was prepared), grilled cheese, and steak. He would only buy the lower quality steaks and half were freezer-burnt since he bought everything bulk, but when rarely given good ingredients he could make a good steak and some potato salad. That was literally it though. He also worked like 80 hour weeks so it was rare for him to cook anyways.


Mom pretty much did everything 2 steps wrong thus the ending dish turned out horrible. Always tried to double the recipe, without the understanding how that worked. Most things were overcooked, watery, or super dry. She took everyone to flavortown in a unique way, by everyone being so hungry after that disgusting meal they would hop in the car and drive to a mcdonalds or something.

When parents got divorced, mom had to work full hours again and just didn't even bother cooking. Which at first was awesome, but I was getting fast food for literally every single meal of the day so I gained literally 150 pounds living with my mother over my middle school years. At which point, I learned to cook for myself and lost quite a bit of weight. Still chubby, but I can convince girls to have sex with me now so alls good.
