I was going to make a whole long story here about my sneaking suspicion that my moms brain has atrophied significantly in the past week or so, but my writing isn't interesting enough, and neither is the material.

Instead, I'll just recount tonights experience in the kitchen, whereupon I was helping her cut the greenbeans. When I asked her what was for dinner, she didn't really respond with more then a vacant facial expression. She then proceeded to douse the greenbeans in soy sauce and plopped a can of year old valencia oranges on top of them. She warmed it up in the microwave and put it atop spicy mexican rice. What in the SHIT? I was sort of horrified...less by the ingredients she chose and more by the mechanical precision with which she wove this shit-cake tapestry. As if this was an actual thought out recipe made for human consumption.

The leftover piece of chicken was my touch...the only salvagable part of dinner.

My mom's seriously lost it. This sucks.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

your mom's probably been watching too much FoodTV.

 

[cubanb]

excuse me while i go puke

Make your own meals! You can't rely on your mom forever.

 

[Chipopo]

I cook for myself all the time, I'm not bitching about having to make my own food. I'm just worried about my moms sanity after having served this with a straight face.

 

[yoshifumi]

that looks kind of good

 

[Monk]

That was chicken? @_@

 

[Takuan]

:lol It doesn't sound *that* awful... were the oranges expired?

Very well.....Ok, she sounds like she might have lost it.

 

[Gattsu25]

Taking into account only what was posted...seems like you are unwilling to try new things

no idea if it will taste like shit or not :lol

 

[Manabanana]

Man, I hate fruit in salads and soups. It's pretty common, though. My mom and girlfriend both do it. "Hahaha it's so cute! Apples in stir fry! And in Caesar salad!" Fuck that.

 

[KiNeSiS]

She needs to put the green beans on the side, and the oranges what the fuck leave that for dessert not on the damned meal.
She's proably sick of making you food how old are you?
Time to get your own play if your not a youth.

 

[demon]

Where's the chicken? And what's that cow heart doing on your plate?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

don't i know it bruvuh!

 

[Chipopo]

It tastes like shit guys. I know Mcdonalds has us all believing that the artificially bright and colorful foods are the ones we should be eating, but no. These are the turdiest turd oranges I've ever tasted...like paper towel soaked in sewage. Plus, you've got the spicy rice, and its not really apparent in the picture...but its all doused in SOY SAUCE. WHICH PART OF THIS IS APPEALING?!?

She's proably sick of making you food how old are you?

seventeen. I'm rarely home for dinner, so when I am, she says she 'enjoys' cooking for me. Yea, like I'll ever believe that again after this spiteful shit.

Yeah, its the oranges thats nuts.

 

[PartlyCloudlike]

Sounds like she's mad at you about something, probably for taking away her youth.

"little jerk...i could've been a star...i'll show him...throw fucking oranges on his beans.."

 

[Chipopo]

by the way, the chicken is really good! It's from this local cuban place...I think it looks wierd because of the lime sauce on top.

 

[ScientificNinja]

Hey, I had raw potato slices doused in vinegar and raw egg and a sliced seaweed garnish; followed by a light green salad that had cornflakes in it. Then there was this giant crouton that was hollowed out, with diced pork and spanish onions in it. This was all supposedly the cutting edge of Japanese culinary delights.

Your mom's not that crazy

 

[demon]

"little jerk...i could've been a star...i'll show him...throw fucking oranges on his beans.."

:lol

 

[Trakball]

What in the SHIT?

Who started saying this stupid shit? I remember Jay (of Jay & Silent Bob fame) saying "what the shit!! in "Mallrats", but I know I heard it before that.

People with guttermouths all over the land: please, just say "what the FUCK". It sounds SO much better than "what the SHIT". It's not even remotely poetic.

That being said, did your mom eat this as well? If she's just making YOU eat it, then you've been served. But if she's eating it too... I dunno, are y'all poor? (you don't have to answer that) I grew up poor and my mom used to make the WILDEST combinations of food, and everything ALWAYS had beets. *ugh*

...so was it good? It sounds good.

Uh, how does any of that top microwaved oranged?

Hmm... I guess cornflakes in my salad doesn't really come that close :lol but it was nice.

How about raw lobster from a lobster that's still wriggling around?

 

[SlickWilly223]

Disgusting. She probably found the weed that you were hiding in your condoms. You're just not mama's little boy, anymorel.

That's some nice silverware and china, though.

 

[RaymondCarver]

I'd totally eat that, sans the micro waved oranges.

However, Chi, give your mom credit. I've seen something similar before....it's called stir fry. Let me let you in on a little secret: For the first few times it's hard to judge how long to stir fry something. I had trouble cooking the peas too long until I learned the order of the vegetables. One afternoon I made a large batch of fried rice and then took it outside to a hot place, several vedgies, and space to easily clean up with a water hose and broom afterwards. I got my olive oil to practice with, and I learned in what order I should cook each item if I want to include it in my wok. [But I don't have a wok. A regular frying pan served well.]

Afterwards...From then on I knew how to make fried rice. Spices and things like that came later. I figured the Vice President of the Asian Students' Association should learn to cook something ethnic.





I don't the photo, by the way. Take this as an opportunity. Make a mental note to buy an Asian cooking book for your house. Leave it wherever you store your cook books.

It looks like she couldn't be fucked making a proper dinner. :lol

[Escape Goat]

Sweet mary, you guys ate that?

 

[Drozmight]

The first thing that came to mind after reading that is menopause.

I remember when my mom had that going, jesus.

 

[fart]

those are mandarin oranges.

 

[Chipopo]

you've won this round....

 

[fart]

you've won every round....

FIXED

 

[Chipopo]

God do I hate you.

 

[thefit]

Speaking of crazy moms my family, brothers and dad, have come to the conclusion that our mom is nutts as we suspected for years, turns out she has this problem dealing with agitation, anger etc. and snaps at the smallest things, is always worried etc. She's totally mellow now that her doctor has her all doped up on blood pressure pills. It became really aparent that we we're right when last week she ran out and sure enough she went into a violent rage cuz I didn't put the plastic thingy back on the white bread bag @_@

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

I know for a fact my mom is crazy - I've seen the pharmacy she totes around.

 

[alejob]

LOL. How about that stupid mom in wife swap this week? At least she did a good job with the money. BTW, I was waiting for 24.

Anyway I guess I'll introduce you guts to the greatness that is Gallo Pinto(Rice and black beans).

First thing to do the day before is the rice, just plain white rice with a little choped onions. Just put in the fridge till next day.
Now next day, buy a can of black beans(I think Goya are the most common). Fallow instructions on the can but only add choped onions. Smash the beans a bit to make juice thicker. After the beans are done mix them with the rice in a frying pan and cook.

Finally serve, I like to put sour cream on it with a little bit of sal. and eat with some scramble eggs.

It doesn't look pretty but its good Pic comming soon.

Put rice + onions in fridge straight, or do you make the rice properly first then stick it in the fridge with onions?

 

[alejob]

I chop the onions and fry them a little in the pot before adding the rice and water. After rice is done just let it cool and put it in the fridge. You have to make the rice the day before cos otherwise the gallo pinto will be real mushy.

I found this pic on the net.
