I love my wife and all, but Jesus Hercules Christ...

That red juice in your meat is not blood.
Blood is removed during the slaughter process and afterwards almost no blood remains in the muscle tissue. That red liquid is water mixed the myoglobin protein.
As meat ages, the muscle tissue breaks down. The water and myoglobin cells inside the meat are released and a red blood-like liquid emanates from the meat when it is prepared.

Myoglobin is what separates white meat from red meat. The more myoglobin cells, the redder the meat is. Most mammals have a high amount of myoglobin and why we call them "red meat". Animals with a low level of myoglobin are considered white meat, these are animals like poultry or seafood.

Myoglobin is similar to hemoglobin. Hemoglobin helps red blood cells store oxygen, whereas myoglobin helps muscle cells store oxygen. Myoglobin is needed for muscles that need oxygen on demand, for active and frequent use.
Thats why "faster/stronger" fish are more red than slower colder water fish, think Tuna vs Halibut.

I made too much pasta for Christmas Eve dinner with the extended family. See below.



Christmas night I return from walking the dog and my wife is eating a bowl of pasta with the meatballs we had made. She finishes and says to me "I don't know what happened to the pasta but it got hard and chewy"

"Did u take the pasta from the tupperware or the ziplock?"

The cooked stuff had been put into tupperware, and the uncooked stuff into a ziplock. Both in the fridge.

One of my wife’s good friends is an overly picky eater; no tomatoes, no mushrooms, no beans, no cheese, no eggs, no avocado, no shellfish…

For dinner parties with said friend, my wife will insist we tailer the entire menu to this one individual….

My opinion; make sure one app and one side works for this woman and the main is something she can pick through as desired. Fuck the rest - she chose this path.

Cue mansplaining complaints....


We got a new dryer for Xmas. I explained how it has has a moisture sensor, so you just set how dry you want the clothes and it shuts itself off when they're dry. It also has an extended tumble feature--when the cycle is done it will give everything a quick tumble every 5 minutes for hours to prevent wrinkles. Every time I walk by it I can see that the last cycle was a timed dry, so the clothes are getting over-dried and the extended tumble doesn't work on that setting. Le sigh.

I was thinking more along these lines.

Feels appropriate to add this here…

At my fiancé’s parents’ house for Christmas. Love her whole family, but they’re the least adventurous eaters I’ve ever been around. MIL decides she’s going to make a prime rib roast because they’re having some good family friends over and she wants to do something fancy. Not having made one before, she follows the instructions from the butcher and when it’s done asks me to carve it up.
She executes it flawlessly, this thing was fucking PERFECT, but being prime rib was red all the way thru and “still bloody”.
Freak out is too strong a word but the whole group is losing it over how rare it is.
To try and remedy the situation, I cut off a big chunk from the middle for me, and suggest browning everyone else’s in a pan.
So not only do I now have to watch a table full of grown adults eat well done prime rib, talking about how good it is, but her dad also cranked the oven back up to 300deg and put the 2nd half back in the oven during dinner.
I was stunned into silence for the whole meal and just sad at what was done to a $120 piece of meat.

It's quite likely that your fiancee has inherited her family's delicate palate and has been eating more adventurously to please you until you're married, when she'll revert back. I would seriously reconsider this marriage if I were you. If I had know 40 years ago that my wife would decide she doesn't like beef when she turned 60 I wouldn't have married her. Although the duck breast I made for xmas dinner was pretty good. Not prime rib good, but good.

My mom would have fit right in with your future inlaws. She'd broil lamp chops until you could use one as an axe to cut down a tree. We didn't keep kosher but she still had a Jewish aversion to pork, which she overcame by frying sausages until you could drive them like nails, and bacon until when you touched it it crumbled to dust and blew away.

It's been a long time since I could do a quick tumble every 5 minutes for hours.

OG’s cracking me up here.

I have had at least 2 sets of inlaws at my house during all waking hours since last Wednesday. They are nice people, who mean well and we get along fine... but its still not the most enjoyable thing to be constantly sharing the house. The real problem is that my wife reverts back to something of an angsty, angry teenage big sister when around her parents, which just doubles when around both sets of her parents, and then squares when our 2-yr old has a rough day and acts like a standard overstimulated asshole 2yr old.

Anyone else's wife go from Jekyll to Hyde around their parents?

Pretty typical behavior, even for us manly men. Especially around our mothers.

I’m n laws come to visit. FIL decided to grill a rack of lamb….fire is not able to describe the inferno on my porch. Whole fire extinguisher later the house is saved. Just stood there watching it, thank dog the 14 year old was paying attention. Immediately after my MIL does something to the fridge that makes a whole shelf go to ground shatters salad dressing and glass all over the kitchen. We were leaving for Mexico the next morning so did the best we could with clean up. Arrive home to a serious an infestation and the rest of the house covered in whatever the white shut in fire extinguishers is.

2 seemingly competent educated individuals who fuck at least one simple thing up every time they’re at the house. I actively decline help with ANYTHING because it takes more time to fix it and I can be done before they have the right clothes, gloves, ear plugs sorted.

Thanks for listening.

That's a mic drop. /Thread

That's not a "/thread" because the wife wasn't involved

Ok. I was thinking she is guilty by association with her parents. They wouldn't be at his house if detrusor hadn't married their daughter.

She’s come along way with in-law induced food weirdness and is way more adventurous from when we met.
We’re not talking street food in Asian adventurous…but she did have TWO oysters last time I ordered them.
So I’ve got that going for me.

I married a twelve oyster woman. For the record.

Which is actually an interesting question for the wife thread. Do you know the number? Do you want to know?
