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

Woah. I learned very very early on to have a clean bathroom and a clean bed and be able to make at least one thing for dinner because I liked sex.

This^^^. In my twenties I got hella mileage out of being the outlier male who kept a clean house and being able to cook. Still seems to be effective.

Being able to cook definitely gets mileage. I would have gotten more points for a clean house? At least I washed my sheets once a week.

Since this is the ranting thread… cooking and cleaning don’t work like they used to. I think I need to memorize poetry or some shit.

I see you’re in your manic phase

At first, I was kinda hurt.

family of 5 with young kids'll do that.....

But then I was like-- Are you guys shitting on me or are you my bros?

Both of you are playing to know me quite well, yet I have no idea who you are.

You lost me at the goat in the basement. wtf??

We had a feral hedghog living in our house that some soriority chick had lost in our place during the fall and it survived on our floor scraps all the way to our move out in the summer. They are nocturnal so we would only see it real early morning on our way to take a piss, or somtimes it would crawl into our beds for the warmth (mattresses on the floor like proper college kids). Looking back, im not sure why we though it was so normal. There are a lot more anecdotes i could share from my year living in this house, but we can save that for another thread. It was a very character-building year.

My wife used the Kitchen Aid stand mixer a couple days ago to make cookies. We've had this mixer for a couple years now, but this was the first time she used it to make cookie dough.

I hear a very strange noise coming from the kitchen...

She's using the wire whisk attachment to mix the dough.

[m2711c]

mmm fluffy cookies.

[old goat]

No cookies for you unless you kept your mouth shut.

[BCMtnHound]

Thought twice about sampling the dough, didn’t ya?

Tonight I made king salmon with an herb butter sauce, potatoes and cauliflower. I deboned the salmon, seasoned it with a bit of salt and pepper and seared it in a large skillet with olive oil and butter. 7 mins on the skin side (nice and crispy) and 3 mins on the flesh side. When it was done, I poured a butter, lemon juice, rosemary sauce on top and served it. It looked (and tasted amazing). When served, she asked me (in a condescending tone) what the green herb was on the salmon. I said, "rosemary". She demanded that I throw out the salmon. I told her to eat the food, or don't, Idon't care. She smeared gulden's mustard and honey on the salmon and brushed off all spice. Now, she is mad at me. King salmon! Sorry babe!

[Meadow Skipper]

Good thing you apologized.

Pardon me for saying this, but she must be really incredible in bed

[Skistack]

So she doesn’t like rosemary?

That would be the last meal I cook for her. But I sense there are much deeper issues at play here than rosemary on salmon.

[schindlerpiste]

Right, she does not like rosemary (or thyme). My bad. I think that she is pissed that she spent most of the day cleaning the house. We are going to Jackson later this week and allowing our daughter's boyfriend's parents to stay at our place gratis. I'd say fuck it. Why scrub toilets, mop floors and vacuum rugs for them? The house is pretty clean, as is. I guess it's a German thing.

[XXX-er]

the right people don't put rosemary on Salmon, having said that I would have ate it

acccording to this guy there is deeper shit going on

Exactly. Does she also tidy up the house and even clean before the housekeeper comes too? I’ve certainly seen this in my house before and it’s mind boggling.

[yeahman]

First of all having guests is a good excuse to clean, never pass up the opportunity. Second if you want to pay a professional cleaner to do simple shit you could easily do yourself, then you are likely unfamiliar with the most rudimentary concepts of housekeeping and janitorial work. Third there are a lot of good salmon recipes online that include rosemary.

I'd use rosemary on salmon in a vain attempt to cover the awful taste of the salmon.
