    There was that tweet from a few years ago about how so many old ladies on their death bed would confess to killing their husbands.

    I’m starting to piece it all together.

        I mean even just from a totally innocent position, I’m exhausted right now and in the past month I’ve almost died falling down the stairs 5 times from the sleep deprivation (the ER is getting sick of my clumsiness)

        I know I’ll sleep better once my cohabitation separation is finalised.

        This morning I brushed my teeth with my partner’s athletes foot ointment. Didn’t even realise it tasted like ass and felt like wax until I was trying to spit it out and wondering why it was clinging to my teeth. I’m just not human anymore, I am physically and mentally burnt out carrying the entire cognitive and household labour load of the relationship for the last 10 years.

          Based on the last sentence, it’ll get better. Just don’t beat yourself up if you’re not who you were before. A decade is a long time.

            Yeah, you weren’t going to be the same person regardless. But also, things like that change you, a lot of things will change you. Life is about accepting where you are and making the best choices you can moving forward

      Kraft Heinz (makers of JELL-O) propaganda.

      Literally, the reason food went to shit in the '50s was because that’s when all the shelf-stable and processed “convenience foods” that had been invented for WWII started getting heavily marketed to the public.

        It’s existed as a dish since at least 1375. Way before Heinz. And it was eaten all over the world with many variations. Your Heinz conspiracy is meritless. Read the link in the comment you replied to.

          yes, but did its usage drastically increase because of mass marketing? your comment doesn’t contradict the comment you replied to.

        Kraft Heinz (makers of JELL-O) propaganda.

        These sort of foods are often a lot older than even either of those companies

      Interesting, I had never heard of this before.

      I was immediately horrified, but it appears they date back to at least 1375 and predate fruit gelatin dishes, which makes sense considering gelatin is meat deprived. It also appears they were used for preservation, which… I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.

      It being described as “essentially a gelatinous version of conventional soup.” And “like ruby on the platter, set in a pearl … steeped in saffron thus, like garnet it looks, vibrantly red, shimmering on silver” certainly piques my curiosity.

        Properly prepared aspic is delicious, it was traditionally made to make use of leftover bits of slaughtered pigs (ears, hooves, snout) so that they don’t go to waste. Now those bits go into the gelatin industry but aspic can be bought in sausage form (presswurst).

      We have this in Ukraine. My grandma unironically loves it and cooks it from time to time. It’s basically jellified soup

    Jello with floating cigarette ashes and mayo frosting.

    I would joke about there being poison in this culinary sin experiment too, but I’m a millennial and you just don’t threaten a millennial with a shorter life.

    god: Peter, they’re doing it again! Shrimp and radish in ground up pig and cow bone and parts. Why do they hate me?

    Peter: I tried to tell them but they wouldn’t listen! Also they have a thing called pornhub now.

    god: its a test.

      That never happened, you filthy liar!

      In the fifties, taxes were negative, the government would only give you money and the Democrats robbed us from that

    I’m cool with not bringing it back to the 50s, I don’t wanna hear any shit about me being “the man of the house who is supposed to take out the trash and fix everything broken and be the breadwinner” or any of that type of shit either.

    In all of this she never said she even has the skills to cook. Looks like scammy trade to me.

    In all seriousness, I know more men being good cooks than women.
