Chavez Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Made some mashed potatoes the other night - obviously 3-4 spuds, about 1/4 cup olive oil, tsp minced garlic, healthy heaping of Lawry's - mix. My wife thought it was the worst thing EVER. I thought it was fantastic. Who is the insane one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bier Meister Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 aside from me preferring butter over oil, i don't see anything "wrong" with those taters. would have to taste em to confirm whether or not they were nasty or great, or somewhere in-between Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can cook for herself from here on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much everything. I made them Sat night, and they tasted great to me then; they tasted just as good to me Sunday evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazello1313 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 the garlic may have been a bit pungent. did you saute it much in the oil? maybe try roasting the garlic and using butter instead of oil next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoothead Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 no. she married you, didn't she? That shouldn't have taken 3 posts. Make potatoe pancakes out of the leftovers. She won't eat them then she's too picky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubfoothead Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Then she's too picky - she doesn't like potato pancakes. Well I was assuming you wouldn't fry them in olive oil, you do that and all bets are off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She doesn't like ANY potato pancakes. List of foods she hates: - salmon - cod - smoked fish - barbecue sauce - gruyere cheese - havarti cheese - gazpacho - cheesecake ...the mind boggles, I tell ya. EDIT - corned beef, whole wheat bread, verde sauce, alfredo sauce.... Edited January 30, 2007 by Chavez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Dude, it's her. Unfortunately, it's her and all the other "hers" out there. I don't know what it is about women and food but they always overreact when they don't like something. It happens at the restaurant. We serve a dish just like every other time. A popular dish that we obviously wouldn't make if people didn't like it. Some woman gets it and isn't into it. Fair enough, we're here to please so we'll make something else. The thing is, they tend to make a huge deal out of it, as if I wouldn't take it back unless they really made it clear how absolutely horrible it was. They scruntch their face and make it seem like I just farted or something. "This dish is inedible!" "Funny, that dude over there is eating the same thing and hasn't come up for air yet." My wife does the same thing to a lesser degree. You'd think the fact that I'm a professional would buy me a little credibility in this regard but as any married man knows, that's foolish logic.

If I'm eating some food she dislikes, she has to comment about how disgusting it is - I swear sometimes she follows me around the house just to make some point about how she can't believe I'm enjoying it.

Chavez Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 (edited) List of foods she hates: She also absolutely refuses to eat at Hardees/Carls Jr, Papa Johns pizza, and KFC. And complains about Qdoba and Chipotle. Not that any of those franchises are stunning anyone's taste buds, but they're all passable-to-above-average IMO for chain fast food.

twiley Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 My wife use to be extremely picky but she's gotten a lot better since she met me. Detlef described my sister-in-law to a "T".

cdrudge Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Your wife doesn't like cheesecake? Yes, she's picky. I've never heard of a woman that didn't like cheesecake in some form. Are you sure you are married to a woman? Maybe that could explain a lot.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(inquiring minds want to know how much twoobage is out there) That said, I guess your sis in law really likes eating th cook/waiters bodily fluids that must get added to her dish regulary.

It's twoobs sister. She's a pain in the ass but attractive and tends to wear tops that show off her cleavage. Drives the mother-in-law insane. I can't really comment on her desire for mens fluids.
