My Parents Had Never Loved Me. When They Tasted My Cooking, They’d Change Their Minds.
2024.11.30 10:50 CBenson1273 My Parents Had Never Loved Me. When They Tasted My Cooking, They’d Change Their Minds.
Taking a deep breath, I rang the doorbell.
The door opened. “Oh - it’s you. Come in,” my father said.
I entered and looked around, remembering the emotional carnage of my childhood. Ignored, overlooked, dismissed. But today that would all change.
I placed everything I’d brought in the kitchen. “I just wanted to contribute,” I said, placing the home-cooked turkey and sides on the table. “I know Thanksgiving dinner is a lot.”
My mother looked it over. “You really shouldn’t have.”
Then my sister arrived.
“Jennifer!” my mother exclaimed, rushing to hug her. “It’s so good to see you!”
“Welcome, sweetheart!” my father said, lifting the boxes she’d brought. “Thanks for flying in!”
“Of course,” she replied. “Chad's parents really wanted me there, but I said my parents came first. I can only stay until midnight, though. Oh, hi Kate.”
“Hello, Jennifer,” I said through gritted teeth. Breathe, I thought. You can handle this. You’re not a child anymore.
We sat in the living room, talking, as usual, about Jennifer. Her perfect job, her perfect husband, their perfect wedding with a dozen white doves.
“I got a new job,” I interjected.
Silence. “That’s nice, dear,” my mother replied before refocusing on Jennifer.
“Let's head into the dining room. Apparently Kathryn brought some things for dinner.” When they tasted my food, things would change.
“Oh, that reminds me!” said Jennifer. “Dad, can you open that white box?”
He did. Inside was… a full Thanksgiving dinner? “I just thought someone should help out - you do so much every year.”
My parents gushed. “You’re so thoughtful!”
We sat down to eat, the food Jennifer brought disappearing rapidly. Unlike mine.
“That’s a lovely bracelet!” my mother exclaimed mid-meal.
“Thank you!” Jennifer replied. “It’s from Chad. It’s titanium - platinum is so last year,” she laughed.
Then came time for dessert. I brought out my secret weapon - homemade triple fudge cake, Dad’s favorite.
“What a coincidence!” Jennifer said, pointing to a smaller box containing the same cake.
“I got this at a bakery near us - it’s impossible to order this close to the holidays, but Chad pulled some strings.”
“I always liked that young man,” my father said, digging into Jennifer’s cake while mine languished.
Frustrated, I ran into the kitchen, wiping away tears. While there, I overheard them talking.
“She’s so sensitive.”
“Always starved for attention.”
“You’d think the entire world revolved around her.”
I just stood there, dazed. Eventually I returned to the dining room.
“It’s about time,” my mother said. “It’s rude to walk out like that.”
I said nothing.
After dessert, Jennifer got up to use the restroom, and I excused myself to fix my face. Minutes later, I returned to the table.
My parents gasped in horror, then screamed.
“See?” I asked as I stood wearing my sister’s clothes, carving knife in my hand, her bloody degloved face covering mine as crimson dripped down my neck.
“I'm just like her - you can love me now!”

2024.11.30 10:50 TexturesOfEther Cookbooks by Culinary Schools & Institutions Geared Towards Home Cooks
Share your experience, reviews, and recommendations of cookbooks by culinary schools and other gastronomy institutions aimed at home cooks. I recently came across a cookbook that seems to have gone under the radar, and I can't wait to try it. It's The Complete Vegan Cookbook by the Natural Gourmet Center at the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE). I'm sure it will keep me busy for a while, but I'm curious if there are more hidden gems in this category. I never thought to check them, perhaps thinking they would be too technical or chef-focused.

2024.11.30 10:50 yp_12345 Bee hive in bricks in strata property
I have just moved into a townhouse and there seems to be a beehive forming in the bricks on the garden side. Today we noticed one of the bees had gotten inside with everything shut. This is strata issue and the previous owner said that she had reported it. I know strata can be notoriously slow, so what kind of timeframe should we be pressing for this issue to be resolved? We can't use our garden currently due to the amount of bees!

Has anyone just feel like quitting or is it just me. When does the abuse stop? When you get away you’re still stuck in trauma even with therapy. Therapy makes it ten times worse. How can someone you once loved break you, hurt you to the point of not being here have so much power when you move on? ATP I just want the suffering to stop please. Might go to switerzland where (the end) is legal I can’t do this anymore goodbye ✌🏽.

2024.11.30 10:50 purple_pandas_ Dropped kerb application advice
Last year my boyfriend and I bought our first house (in England) It has a large double driveway which the previous owners extended from a single. The problem is they didn’t get the dropped kerb extended as well.
I honestly thought this wouldn’t be a problem because it’s a quiet cul-de-sac, every house has their own driveway so there’s not much demand for on street parking at all. But I was wrong people park over the non-dropped part of the driveway despite ample parking elsewhere in the street. That’s their prerogative I know they are legally allowed to and I just have to put up with it or apply to extend the dropped kerb.
My concern is that when we bought the house our solicitor pointed out that she couldn’t verify the existing dropped kerb was authorised by the council. She said that looking at google maps it had been there since at least 2008 and likely much longer.
I think that all the dropped kerbs in this road have probably been here since these houses were built in the 1970s. Is it common that there’s no council records? I am worried if I apply to extend it then I might accidentally alert them to an unauthorised vehicle crossing and open a very expensive can of worms.

2024.11.30 10:50 _Kote Second impression of kuura cola
 | Decided to try some kuura cola shou gongfu style after letting the tea rest for some two weeks after arriving. The dry leaves' fungal smell decreased considerably. Right at the first cup I noticed the ashy taste I felt in my first session is gone as well. The first cups smelled like roasted carrots and had a creamy, almost toffee-like mouthfeel. The latter cups tasted like peaches. Its hard to emphasize enough how letting the tea rest improved it. The peachy taste of the latter cups was very enjoyable but also one-dimensional. Overall the session felt yummy and desserty without blowing my mind. submitted by _Kote to puer [link] [comments] |
