Thanks dad. What's your family's version of complicated food to make that shows love?
smoked venisonim trans btw, not sure if that matters. this is the first year my dad didn't wish me a happy birthday :(
Jollof ricePretty easy to makes, but is also complex due to all the different ingredients>t. Nigerian
every time I go home it's something new.love in the form of neverending new experiences
>>21679179> love in the form of neverending new experiencesVery American. A new bull every weekend for the wife.
>>21679184>3rd worlder afraid of changeFitting
>>21678949My mum decorating my birthday cake with candles that show my age. She still does this, even though I'm nearing 30 and she brings muffins too, she's the best. >>21679176Sorry to hear that. I'm cis but my dad abused my mum and almost raped me, so no birthday cakes for him. He used to cook some nice chili for us. Now my brother often cooks it and he does it much better than him. It was our late grandma's recipe anyway.
>>21679176need to show a cute tranner the affection she can’t get from her dad
>>21678949My family doesn't have one and I'll probably never have a family of my own to demonstrate my love for with my cooking.I feel some envy towards people who do have things like that, but mostly I just feel empty and self loathing.I have no identity and my life is void of meaning.
>>21679236That's a tragedy. I hope you'll find your way, anon. You can still show love to others with your cooking, or maybe you have some friends to cook with...
>>21679176No matter what political views you have letting it get in way of family is how the jew wins. >>21679179That sounds chaotic desu>>21679215Your mom is very sweet, mom's are the best. >>21679236I'm sorry to hear that anon, I'd send you homemade food if you have a PO box and aren't afraid of being possibly poisoned.
>>21679236I’m sorry things turned out this way. I will never have a family of my own either, I wouldn’t dare create any more mentally ill addicts
As far as catching up or apology meals go, my dad is always about baked pasta, and my mom's go to was a roast of some kind (beef, pork, turkey, chicken, lamb, venison) with taters, a few veggies and gravy - basically making leftovers for her for the week, and for me to take home.I've got a few go-to's, all from scratch (or what's the point?) lasagne, pierogies, piri piri chicken, cakes/cupcakes, cheesecakes, beef wellington, chicken cordon bleu/kiev/cordon rouge (a mix of the two)... If it's a gift, it's usually some kind of dessert or a still-warm loaf of bread with some good salami and cheese.
>>21679236At least you have a family. My mom and dad died in a felching accident when I was 18.
>>21678949Nothing remotely complicated about pierogies. Just admit you are a cooklet and stop spamming these worthless threads.
>>21679177>Pretty easy to makes, but is also complex due to all the different ingredientsThat's not how that works but I wouldn't expect you people to understand that.
>>21679290You sound like a massive faggot. Imagine being this annoying and desperate for friends.
>>21679500They're labour intensive; not something you'd make for someone you don't give a shit about, unless you were poisoning them.
>>21679274My friends all moved away or we stopped talking a few years ago and I haven't made new ones. It was nice to share my cooking with the ones who were appreciative. Someday I'll get around to trying to meet new people.>>21679290>I'd send you homemade foodThank you, I appreciate the thought.
>>21679500They take lots of time?>>21679514Some of us have basic social skills.
>>21678949Why didn't you make them you little shit?
>>21679290>I'd send you homemade food if you have a PO boxYeah man I totally pay hundreds of dollars per month to have a PO box so I can accept random anonymous homemade food on demand
why is it so orange inside
>>21678949what are those filled with OP? they look delicious and i wanna try making them>>21679215your brother sounds like a good dude>>21679222you know the key to my heart lol>>21679176elaborating on this bc i was intoxicated when i posted last nightmy dad shot deer like crazy and venison was pretty much the only meat we ate for a long time. he would cook roasts on the smoker or on the grill w/ wood chips. i remember he only used fruit woods, mostly cherry and apple. he has a real discerning palate for wood smoke for some reason. he thought mesquite was trash and he was rather outspoken about it. seasoning was always just salt and black pepper, tho one time he made a glaze out of chokecherry jam that was superb. i taught him how to make czech style gulash w dumpling when i grew up and reconnected w him. he was obsessed with it for a lonnng time, always making it on his own and sending me pictures.
>>21680580wtf is this real?
>>21679177>Jollof riceI have been cooking rice in a similar fashion for months now. I can't believe anyone would eat it any other way honestly. It's good shit.
>>21678949my dad was a factory worker and an engineer at heart and loves to make shit but now works some from home corpo job that flys him all over europe, the states and mexico so we always bond over whatever alcohol hes made in his free time. he makes really good wheat beer and cider, and likes making cocktails with cheap booze he gets while travelling. its always comfy sitting on the porch after his wife and kids have gone to bed talking about manufacturing, traveling and how hard it can be to stay motivated to keep on living when other people mean nothing to you
>>21680637>my dad>his wife and kids
>>21680655younger half-siblings?
PSA pierogi is already plural.
>>21680656correct, he started his life over from nothing when he was in his mid thirties, i admire that as an adult
>>21678949>Dad made homemade pierogiesAs opposed to what? Making store-bought pierogies?
>>21680695Exactly. They come frozen in a $2 box, and you eat them with some cheap shitty bacon, and fried or green onion if you still have any. Maybe the sour cream's still good. There might be some hot sauce... Fuck it, these varenyky are Asian tonight. We've got the right mix of shit for that. Have I mentioned lately that your mom leaving me was the best thing she ever could have done for the both of you? Let's make some kick ass poverty food and watch some cartoons that will fuck you up for life. Whaddya say champ?
>>21679751>>21680580Made with garden preserved cherries. >>21680695They're way different.
>>21681032i dont think i've ever had them with cherries but i guess it should be goodusually you'd see blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and maybe something else like raspberries, you can try adding cottage cheese it goes well with sweet things
>>21678949dad learned to make pizza, got fat from eating homemade meat lovers with extra cheese almost every day, then he started experimenting with leaner pizzas. I love his "tuscan onion pizza", which is really more of a focaccia dough brushed with olive oil with a light amount of parmesan and a ton of oven-dried onions, then sprinkled with herbs. If he makes it as a meal, he'll then throw on some capicollo sliced in strips.
>>21681050most cheeses do
>>21681236only raw
>>21681242I disagree. Pasta sheets or vrnk/pie rogs with cherry and cambozola are great. Pear pie with a parmesan crust is great. Even rye with marmelade toasted in the oven with mozzarella's great.
>>21681247idk we dont eat that here i guess
>>21681254It's weird what certain cultures will and won't slap together when it comes to sweet and savoury.
>>21681319we have a lot of sweet sides like cabbage or beetroot with savoury meals or stuff like plum or apple sauce with duck and similar i don't think ti's really applicable in this case, we don't eat that kind of cheese i mean at least not traditionally
>>21678949before my mom got sick and passed away she would make gumbo that didn't use roux instead it used gumbo file' and for years I didn't understand how to make it because she never let me help in that one dish because my brother got all the recipies that are savory and got the sweet ones because "i want you to have a reason to talk after i'm gone" and if I'm honest it hasn't worked. 17 year age gap is hard to conquer.
