/ck/ - Food & Cooking

My single mother created the "I cook - you clean" rule when I was a kid. I was fine with it until I saw the horrible mess she made in the kitchen after every meal. She'd cook spaghetti in four different pots. WHY WOULD SPAGHETTI REQUIRE FOUR SEPARATE POTS?!?!?!

Shit like this would only get worse when big meals during holidays were made. Every fucking bowl and spoon in the house would be used for each individual ingredient. Every spatula, every possible dish imaginable was used like she was one of those fucking TV chefs with each spice in it's own little glass bowl.

We didn't have a dishwasher, so it was just me grinding away at burnt lasagna from three different glass pans for a fucking hour.... I hated that shit so bad.
