/ck/ - Food & Cooking

/ name the coziest meal of your life. I’m interested and need to shoot the shit over here.

>>11222204
>>gets drunk and throws a fucking fit
over what

>>11222215
that's what I'm also wondering, please quickly reply OP

>>11222215
>>11222230
The general state of our relationship and a bunch of shit that I can’t even change, but it honestly came out of nowhere for me.
It’s not food related, but she is choosing to blame her own laziness on me.
She thinks that I’m cold, emotionless, and manipulative. I’m really just massively depressed, but I don’t like making my problems other people’s problems.
I’m not too worried about it and look forward to talking when homegirl is sober.
Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for reading my blog. Post some comfort food.

>>11222277
sounds like a dysfunctional relationship my boy, and it looks to me like you are doing that thing where people don't stop pouring resources into something that failed because they've already poured so many resources into it

look at these waffles I made like a year and a half ago

>>11222277
go and get some help man
she might change as well
the only way to make people change is to change yourself

>>11222290
that's called sunken costs fallacy

>>11222298
thanks I was drawing a blank

look at these other waffles

Please stay safe, OP. Hope things work our for you one way or the other <3

>hot ham and cheese
>sliced ham, cheese, ham, cheese on top
>toast in oven
>cheese gets all gooey
>ham is warm and salty
>toast two slices of bread
>butter insides
Getting home after an 11 hour shift it's the only thing that makes me not kill myself

>>11222290
Honestly we’ve never fought (other than playful arguing) before. I think she is just in a rut and I need to be a good example and act like a grown man. I have some shit I need to get together, but it’s definitley doable. I’ve just been enjoying myself lately and getting a bit lazy myself.
Tight waffles though, my dude. Would eat/ 10. Breakfast for dinner is mighty cozy.
>>11222295
Can’t afford to talk to anyone professionally, and I can’t take antidepressants because bipolar runs in my family. I watched my brother go batshit insane because of manic episodes induced by SSRIs when I was 15 or so. I can’t do that to the people I care about at this juncture in my life.
I have faith this this will all shake out okay, I’m not just taking a constant beating- this pretty much never happens.
>>11222298
I’ll bear that in mind.

>>11222310
(OP here), dang, bruh. I would straight up take a nap on those.
Here’s a fat breakfast burrito I made the other night when I was a little lit/ bored.
I know I’m lacking the potatoes, but it was breddy gud.

>>11222338
>Can’t afford to talk to anyone professionally, and I can’t take antidepressants
hm ok pic related or similar is probably the single best thing you can do to improve your mental health then, it makes a huge difference for me

>>11222310
would be a lot better with some chicken, chicken and waffles is one thing i'm glad niggers are here for, shit is too fucking good

>>11222204
fuck that cunt, hope you enjoyed some sushi, just had some nice sushi with my mom tonight who I haven't seen in a couple months, was nice

Kinda unrelated but worked a construction job in Denver a couple years back and they gave me a $130 per diem, and I would skip breakfast and eat a bullshit lunch like a sandwich or some shit and then go blow it out that night, ate so much fucking sushi I barely want to eat it anymore, GREAT times

Great attitude OP, the good times are coming soon and as we say where i'm from, let the good times roll

>>11222367
Chicken and waffles is good but I prefer sweet fruit waffles

>>11222364
I have a super nice ($1100-ish) Aventon build that I’ve been neglecting lately. I put it together when I had some money after receiving the frame as a gift. Sometimes I take my doggo out and bike/ run him on it. I’ve noticed it definitely helps just to get up off my ass sometimes.
Part of my plan was to exercise more, thanks dude. What kinda bike do you have?
>>11222324
Thanks, my dude. I appreciate the kind words.
Shit could be worse, I’m just cramming my problems with food until we can actually talk. Like I said, pretty comfy atm. I hope you’re okay too, brobie.

>>11222372
everyone smokes their crack differently, but at the end of the day, it's still crack

>>11222358
good shit lad

>>11222332
oh fuck me, I love me some of that shit, the more classic childhood meals are always great, especially going back to shit like PB&J with lays BBQ chips with a huge glass of milk

we truly don't deserve food

>>11222332
Going grocery shopping tomorrow and desu this just sounds great so I’ll get some nice thick sliced ham my dude.
I unironically use a foreman grill sometimes and I think that’d work for maximum laziness.

Thanks for being here, /ck/. Y’all are pretty cool tonight.

>>11222367
My fucking man, chicken and waffles are the bomb. If you’re ever in Gainesville, FL, go to Southern Charm Kitchen. I lived there for a bit. They’ve got the best ones I’ve had in ages, and I’m from the south so I’ve sampled everywhere.
Do you put hot sauce AND syrup on yours? I do it every time, and people look at me like I have two goddamned heads.

>>11222406
yeah i'll never be in gainesville florida, ever, but I feel ya, and nah I like my waffles dry and my chicken juicy, I could see hotsauce and syrup working

SWEET AND SOUR NIGGA, the chinks did it so I don't see why we can't

>>11222338
My doctor prescribed me Zoloft today which is a SSRI for generalized anxiety disorder. Should I stay away from them? I haven't taken them as of today.

>>11222434
Another anon here. I was prescribed Zoloft a few years back to treat generalized anxiety/depression, and I don't think they did much at all to me. Stopped taking them eventually, but that being said you should definitely start taking them if you feel you need something to help you keep going.

>>11222444
Thanks for the tip

>>11222416
I don’t blame you. I only lived there for one year, and I hated the place a lot. I had a super huge house with one of those Benihana hood vents over my range and I lived <a block away from a grocery store. It turned me into a hermit 2l a day alcoholic (never got a job down there, I paid my lease off of savings), but I did make some bomb food all the time.
I fucking hate college kids, though. I only went out a few times, just to entertain friends who came to visit me.
Where ya from/ what’s good near you?
Pic related is like half of my recycling when I moved.

>>11222447
SSRIs are a real grab bag in terms of actually treating your symptoms and vary a ton from person to person. Again, give them a shot but pay attention to how you're feeling. Journaling how you feel before you start taking them and as you start might be a good exercise to keep yourself cogent of what's going on.

>>11222434
>>11222444
Zoloft is what made my brother go batshit. SSRIs are weird, because they have to cycle into your system and can take up to six weeks to actually affect anything. So doctors have to play what I call “human Petri dish” for months to get your dosage just right.
The negative interaction is based solely on people who have bipolar, though. So if there’s no history of it in your family, I’d give it a shot. Worst case scenario you experience some weight gain/ increased depression before they nail down your dosage.
I’m not a doctor. But a doctor did give that to you.

>>11222450
>no image results
>also this, kek
how do you even drink it, do you chug it straight like a monster or do you have three more bins of ginger ale you're hiding?

>>11222453
This anon knows what’s up. Journal daily.

>>11222450
>drinking 4000cal of alcohol every day
wanna know how I know you are fat?

>>11222450
Grew up in Baton Rouge, graduated LSU a couple years back, then hopped around the country and Europe, lived in Denver, Boise, Portland OR, Fort worth, Boston, Salt lake, and Bern switzerland and munich. now i'm in New Hampshire, and buddy, there ain't no place for food like the south, although surprisingly Austria has some pretty good german soul food that rivaled some good ole fashioned southern shit

Also can't say I relate to the vodka, i'm a beer man myself, can't get enough

>>11222463
Vodka and ice water was my penchant. Casuals hate it. Back then I pretty much just thrived /those threads that shall not be named out of fear of being deleted/. They tried to migrate but it never truly stuck anywhere. /adv/ worked for a bit, but that community truly belonged on /ck/.
It was reaaaaaaly cool to live within such a short distance of a grocery store, though. Feeling lazy? Prep foods. Feeling adventurous? Go balls to the wall and get anything you need. I had a huge deck and a massive grill. The only thing I miss about that city was the house.

>>11222204
She sounds like a bitch.

>>11222498
>relationships have to be magical all the time
You sound 15.

>>11222473
I’m 6’3” and 200 lbs. Definitely not in the best shape of my life, but certainly not fat.
Wanna know how I know you’re a skellington?

>>11222478
That sounds like quite the series of trips, dude. I envy those with money to travel abroad, good on you.
I agree with you about the food of the south, though. Nothing holds a candle to it.
Any places I should hit if I visit either NOLA, or anywhere in Louisiana? I’m down with Cajun and am not afraid of weird foods or textures.

>>11222504
>this
It’s going to get better, my dudes. If it’s truly meant to be, then you can survive a test or two, or three, or once every few months. As long as you have the EQ to know if you’re in a legitimately abusive relationship or something, you should be able to be a rational person and deal with a bump or two.
The only thing I wouldn’t tolerate is cheating.
Bonus points if she can cook.

>>11222522
oh no it wasn't traveling, I work in construction management and my company is just like, "you want to go to Salt lake for 8 months" and ofc I agree because why not, and Europe I got the opportunity to go and work with them because I minored in German at LSU, so I was the most qualified and was the travel bitch. And only had per diem in Denver, SLC, and Boise, not in Boston fort worth or portland, or in Europe, so that kinda sucked, per diem is fucking great though, honestly didn't even know about it until my boss had to explain it to me, construction is great

Went to a shit ton more places, but I would only be there for a couple weeks, so I don't count that as "living" there

>cajun food
This one is very iffy, if you don't know any cajun person down here willing to cook you a supper, it is highly unlikely you will be able to try it at it's best, cajun food is horrible when mass produced and even my family who has been praised in how good our food is, have no written recipes, we just fuckin wing it every time, and we fuck with the recipe every time

So sometimes it comes out unbelievable and sometimes it doesn't, that's how it be

as for NOLA, you can't go wrong desu, du monde is super touristy, but still top notch, hit it in the morning around 7-9 and you'll avoid the crowds, but yeah most restaurants are good, and nothing is really too crazy, a lot of seafood and stews and poboys n shit

>>11222534
>The only thing I wouldn’t tolerate is cheating.
This. Cheating will always be unforgivable.

>>11222563
fucking same, dated a girl from western Ukraine while I was in switzerland, and that's one thing that doesn't happen a lot over there, she couldn't understand the concept of not being able to be alone with other dudes, I had to explain to her that if she did it too much i'd think she was fucking him, and you could tell that thought never crossed her mind, and having gone through a big college in America, cheating was very normal, just a thing people would get momentarily pissed at and move on, and cheating is a fucking no go for me, I cut it immediately

Eastern European women are what every guy needs, too bad their food is so fucking bad, and their sociability is fucked, weird humor and what not, she was also very reserved and not the most fun and adventurous person, but atleast she didn't fuck other dudes

>>11222595
Sorry, dude. You didn’t have to read the thread. /ck/ is one of the only communities here I can stand, and if you can tell by my posts, I’ve been making a legitimate effort to keep my posts semi food related.
What was the last thing you cooked/ baked/ ate at McNaldos?

>>11222507
Qute. You got a bf?

>>11222210
Butternut squash soup with heavy cream and kielbasa on a rainy fall day. Literally heaven.

>>11222277
I can already tell you're not depressed, you're just a faggot and you're manipulating your girlfriend. You probably treat her like shit, and expect nothing but happiness from her, because God forbid when she treats you just a tiny bit like how you treat her, you probably act like a huge faggot baby.

>>11222277
dude is ogre

>>11222534
Anon speaks the truth.
T. Someone who fucked everything up because he spent way too long on here

>>11222210
salmon papardelle with lots of cream and garlic and parsley
I was very lost in Glasgow and a girl I was with at the time wanted to eat
I was just learning to cook, and the love I put into that shit was immense
we ate and ate and then smoked a little and laughed for hours
fucking wholesome

>>11222210
Oriental noodle soup with proper chicken broth and fresh noodles

>>11222210
Either Carbonara or Coq-au-Vin in the autumn or winter I think. The former being fast comfy and, with good ingredients, always tasty as shit. The latter to make with a bunch of friends in a rented house with a fireplace while we drink red wines and reflect on our lives since we met and the paths we chose, while it slowly stews and fills the house with delicious smells. Max comfy mates

>>11222290
Lol way to polarise, fights happen. Always nice to have armchair therapists with zero idea, overview or true compassion pass judgement.

>>11222277
Just leave her already. She will be fucking a nigger by week's end.

>>11222358
Why did you show me this, now I want a breakfast burrito.

Not really a food thread.

>>11222507
hey pewds

>>11222358
am i the only one annoyed by the lone hair in the food?

>>11222338
>I’ve just been enjoying myself lately and getting a bit lazy myself.

I doubt you'll listen, but seriously– this shit will catch up to you. You will either have your laziness get beaten out of you, while adjusting later in life, or you'll find a way to adjust your entire life's expectations to accommodate the laziness– but you always have to pay the piper.
The fact that you already know you're being lazy is indicating you are accepting the latter. And yes, I am projecting massively, but I find this to be the case in general. Something to consider.

>>11222358
OP you sound like a weeb and why the fuck do people do this? Why the fuck can't anyone roll a fucking burrito? You need to have all the fillings evenly distributed throughout the wrap so that each bite contains everything, why the fuck is the bacon just on one side? Why the fuck do cunts make it so that I have to take a bite of meat and then a bite of salad FUCK YOU I HOPE YOU CHOKE ON YOUR GAY WEEB FOOD FAGGOT

>>11226959
I went through it too, I managed to get an okay job making around 60k but it requires traveling nonstop and not really having a life anymore, also not much upwards mobility beyond that.
Get off your ass op, you'll be better for it. It's also nice to see how much your mental health improves when you are proud of yourself for being a productive individual.

wtf are these conversations?

I didn't realize /adv/ had changed address. Where is the food and cooking board now located?

>>11227322
hide the thread then fag, nothing wrong with looking for community.

>>11227363
You're so wrong. There's a lot wrong with it. If everybody made threads like this whenever they had a problem this place would be utterly insufferable.

>>11227422
Look at the catalog, is it an issue?

>>11227363
You mean like Al/ck/?

>>11227422
This is more interesting than fast food advertising threads at least.

>>11222364
Yes. Sex with fit girls would most def improve my mood

>>11227422
>if
>would be

>>11222338
Fucks sake you dont need to talk to someone professionally you just need to sort yourself out. Start by taking responsibility for your mental state and examining why you feel the way you do. Write it out. List the things that make you dwell or things that worry you or things that seriously affect you. Now after you do that put a star next to the ones you can actually do something about (and be honest with yourself about the things you CAN change but choose not to). Write out next to the starred ones what you can do to change this, and how you plan to do so. Make these your goals. If you can address even a few small things dragging you down then the stuff that drags you down that you cant do fuck all about will be much easier to handle. And before anyone says depression is chemical unbalanced in the brain, I know. This is how you unfuckulate your brain chemistry.

>>11222277
>have issues as serious as depression
>keep them from the person you're in a relationship with
This is why it's on the rocks, bro. COMMUNICATE. Your partner is the one person you should exempt from "not making my problems other people's problems." I see further down you said you can't afford therapy, but check your benefits at work (if you have any). Often as part of a standard benefits package they include x # of sessions/year to talk to someone.

>>11222434
Careful. Your depression isn't his depression isn't my depression. Just because someone had no results or bad side effects doesn't mean it'll do the same for you. If you're that weirded out go get a second opinion, but otherwise you totally invalidate the prior visit by ignoring their advice.

Be well, everybody.

>>11222434
Zoloft works but its side effects can be shitty. In my case it basically killed any sex drive and I couldn't get a boner to save my life so that just made things worse for my self esteem after multiple failed hookups due to non working dick

>>11222204
>sick
>gets drunk and abusive while sick
time to get the hell outta dodge anon.

>>11222434
DO NOT FUCKING TAKE ZOLOFT
EVER
Holy shit I may hate everyone but no one should be subjected to the horrors of Zoloft. Pfizer paid me 2 million to keep my mouth shut so I can't say much but just fucking don't

>>11228472

>Pfizer paid me 2 million to keep my mouth shut so I can't say much but just trust me tee hee

Pics or it didn't happen, faggot.

Fug, I'll walk through the gates of hell and swallow satan's load for $2 million, I'm getting on it immediately. What law firm did you use?

>>11228472
Hey I take Zoloft, where's my 2 million!?!?

>>11228003
>I miss when all it took to be happy, content and comfy was tasty food and a soda
Yep, I've been getting this feeling a lot lately. At least it can still be good when I get to drink with my friends every few months

OP here. Thread looks like it’s checking out, but thank you all so much for your replies. All is well with me right now, and it was super nice to chat with you guys even if it was blogposting/ random food related.
You’re a decent board sometimes, /ck/. I got some breddy gud ideas about things to make now that I spent all day cleaning my kitchen head to toe. It’s in prime condition and ready to cook the fuck down.
I’m going to start on some gnocchi tomorrow and make a heavy cream/ Parmesan/ horseradish sauce with some spinach in it.

>>11222277
you sound like a douchebag

>>11231550
Thanks, dude. Mondo constructive.

>>11231505
You're a terrible person. I hope you die in fewer than ten years, preferably painfully. It's just so pathetic that you had nowhere else to turn with this petty little issue of yours. You're definitely worse than me, and likely worse than most people on this board.

>>11231583
You sound fun to be around at parties.
Just let the thread die, my man. It’s served it’s purpose and I honestly felt like there were some pretty helpful comments, as well as some decent constructive criticisms. If it’s not your bag, that’s fine.
Let the thread die, post some food, or hide the dang thing. I’m sorry things are so rough for you right now.

>>11222434
Give me that z o l o f t

Compassion is for smashing.
Over emotional mental midgets try to make everything work and become suicidal when it inevitably fails.

If she's gonna lose her shit over nothing and it becomes a trend then kick that bitch to the curb. Theres far too many fish in the sea to lose sleep over minnows.

>>11222277

Are you me circa 2014? Left my gf from ages 18-25 because she was perfectly fine sober and I feel like I treated her great, but she turned into a monster when drunk and did nothing but scream and cry. Could have lived with it if it were a once in a blue moon situation but she ended up drinking more and more as time went on, stopped showing up for her job, got fired, began drinking during the day, etc. etc. Long story short, I left and it sucked at first but I found a new woman and am happily married in a healthy adult relationship and have never enjoyed another person's company as much as my current wife.

The take away from this is that white women are a meme and they're self entitled trash that expects others to kneel before them. Do some soul searching, learn how to take care of yourself and learn how to enjoy being alone and then find a good woman that can take care of herself too so nobody has to carry the baggage of being the caretaker.

Cheers m8y

>>11222277
massively depressed people usually come off as cold, emotionless, and manipulative.

Thanks OP, been lurking to hear if you're ok or not. Any update on how your relationship is travelling or do you not wanna share that?
