Boyfriend Suggests I Cook Chili on a Stove in a Mixing Bowl, I mean WTF!?!
Should I start from the beginning or no? I think I should but its a long story but I guess since I don’t have shit else to do and I’m still a little pissed about it, I guess I’ll start from the beginning…
See Ced decides to take 2 frozen chicken breasts out of the freezer, rinse them off and stick them in the slow cooker yesterday. I told him that maybe he should let the chicken un-thaw before he stuck the chicken in there being that its a slow cooker. He insists that he don’t want it cooked right away so I left it alone. The next day, he realizes that he has overcooked the chicken and leaves it in the slow cooker to cook longer but decides to add barbecue sauce. So the horrid chicken now with Open Pit Original Barbecue Sauce is simmering in the slow cooker causing the whole place to smell like overcooked chicken with Barbecue Sauce and it was annoying. Anyway….Popeyes was having a 8 piece chicken box for 5 bucks today, so Ced wanted some so I sent him to go get some. The Popeye‘s he went to, was so crowded he decided to go across the street to the Save-A-Lot and buy ground meat and bread causing an overdraft on my card. Now I’m pissed about the smell and now I have a overdraft to pay that I cannot pay right away.
Now I’m hungry with nothing here to eat that I can make right away. So Ced gives me suggestions and it went something like this…
Me- “I’m Hungry”
Ced – “Eat something”.
Me – “Like what?”
Ced – “We got ground meat now.”
Me- “Oh.”
Ced – “You can make meat loaf.”
Me- “I don’t want meat loaf.”
Ced – “You can make burgers.”
Me – “I don’t want burgers.”
Ced – “You can make chili.”
Me – “I don’t want chili.”
Ced – “Well just eat raw ground beef. [I think this is where I was on the verge of being pissed off...]
So after he gives up in making suggestions, he leaves the room and I changed my mind on the chili and decided that chili sounds like a good damn idea. So being that Ced doesn’t have the proper pots to cook in my only resort was to use the Slow Cooker, but his chicken was still in there simmering for no damn reason. So I ask him can he come and take his fail out of the slow cooker because the little pot he had was too small, and the one pot that would of been right but all of the Teflon was gone and it was rusty and from what I learned in Home Economics that’s not safe or good to cook or eat out of.
So he gets annoyed, I get mad cause he think his chicken should marinate in barbecue sauce. He suggests I stick a mixing bowl on the stove and cook the chili out of that. Then on top of that he makes me the one that’s wrong by telling me there is no difference in cooking in that rusty pot than cooking in a thin mixing bowl. I don’t know how he was raised per-se but I know I was raised when I wanted to cook I used the right cookware. I don’t use bowls to cook chili out of, so he goes on saying that the only difference between the pot and the bowl is that one has a handle. So now I’m even more angry because he’s insulting me, and the fact he hasn’t taken into consideration that that damn chicken has been done for a good 5 hours and he believes that the sauce needs to be cooked too or “simmer” with the chicken.
With him its like I’m wrong every time he does something that pisses me off. If he would just realize how trifling it was to me that he would suggest that I cook out of a mixing bowl because he wanted to hog the only thing in the house that we can use to cook out of then maybe he would of just shut the hell up. I’m not one to get mad and stay mad, especially at him or anyone else I care about, it only took me 5 minutes to calm down and I’ve forgotten damn there why we were arguing. My whole point is, what the fuck was he thinking making such a stupid suggestion? Do I look like a caveman? Do I look like someone that lives in the jungle and all I have is a bowl and a campfire? He must think I’m his puppet and whatever he suggest that I do I’m going to do it, well he got another thing coming.

RAWFLEEEE, lee. this is a mess, a good ass mess. im mad at him for suggesting you use a fuckin bowl that shit gone burn on the fire, one big ball of stupidity.
Dude straight trifling.
Ok, normally I don’t go ‘Men, WTF’, but when it comes to certain household issues, I can’t help it. I have a friends who’s husband is a CHEF, and his attitude to kitchen-stuff sometimes makes you wonder where he got his qualification. Not in the restaurant, mind you, just at home. Also, chicken cooking for more than FIVE hours?! I have never heard of that. Men, WTF.
What’s crazy my boyfriend is a Chef, but he only suggested that was because he don’t own a decent amount of pots.
