Venting with a Meat Cleaver!

Soooo, I let my brothers girlfriend cook dinner last night at my place because they are stayin with me again temporary till they can get to Kansas City next month. Anyways, She made Fettucini Alfredo and that was it. No homeade bread, No salad. Just the pasta. I gave her a tip to make it better since she made it all from a damn can and outta a box. I make my noodles and sauce from scratch and always kick down some yummy homeade baked bread and a salad! Sooo... Anyways, i ate it out of being polite. It tasted like ass to me. I have not made this dish for my man yet. He ate it and said "This is the best fettucini alfredo i ever had" ..Than my spine had chills and i looked at him and just imagined me beating him in the head with a meat cleaver till there was blood everywhere. Would i really do that? No, hell no. It was all i could do to keep my train wreck emotions in tact,and not cry. I Noticed he looked at me, so i smiled and winked and kept my deranged thoughts to myself. I didnt let him know it bothered me, I have a leo moon so its hard. But i always keep those emotions on a short leash. Hes a Capricorn, and i know he would think its silly for me to feel that way. But between us, i am never letting that B*tch in MY kitchen again. As i know i could make that a million times better than she can ever imagine! But after his comment, i dont really feel like ever making that.... UGH!!!!!!!!! (Okay, just needed to vent!)

Make it again correctly, for he, you and the chilluns. Introduce him to the darker side of good food. Cracking open a jar and a box does not equal the joy of heavy cream, hand grated parm and good bread perking in the oven. No need for upset, consider it a challenge of your culinary skill. You, like myself extend self through what you prepare. I understand that was a complete travesty in terms of flavor and prep. Take them to the Light Obi-Wan.

are you a control freak?

*smiling* Many that cook are. We run a tight ship.

*smh* at this thread, Holy Mother of Baby Jesus.... unevolved, and unloved fellow Cancer?

I have a feeling he'll be scared into liking hers more, especially if she still has that meat cleaver in her hand! lmao

Some people don't (can't) cook well, nor from scratch. Still nice/thoughtful for them to volunteer to make a meal while staying in someone else's home. And SOME people eat the food to be polite, and SOME simply appreciate a meal someone else made and give compliments and praise. What did you want him to say, "Thanks for the attempt. Your food tastes like shit!"?? Wow, THAT'LL make a pleasant atmosphere for the next month.

It's not like your man HAS had your made-from-scratch-with-all-the-home-made-fixings dish and STILL declared HERS to be "the best fettuccine alfredo ever".. put down the cleaver, you're starting to look a little Norman Bates, damn. :o

Why does it seem like Capricorns bring out Cancers inner rage? That sounded like a pretty intense flash you had there, one I'm familiar with from my Cancer family members.

Is it that he completely disregarded your feelings with his compliment? In a way, I could see how a more emotionally sensitive person would view him telling another woman that was the best anything he'd ever had. Depending on my mood that day, I'd be ticked off too. If you are already getting chills from small things like that, all I can say is be ready hold back or lash out a lot. He's not going to think about all the details and proper ways to say things.

You guys don't get it. Except for VenusianBull.

She is a true Cancerian woman, emotionally crazy yes...but
Her kitchen is HER domain, this is where she expresses her love and her passion!!
Dig it?

Hopefully though, she'll mellow with age.

😉

Oh that's a bunch of malarky. I love to cook, and it's where you'll find my passion outside of the bedroom. I just don't act like a unappreciative control freak, and who is complaining about something she hasnt even made for her guy. Theres a question, why hasn't she then— She comes across like she would whine if her water was wet, cry if her icecream was cold.

Not to mention, she seems more mad at the fact that he complimented another woman. Maybe he's never had it before so he has nothing to compare it to? And I *smh* at the fact that she is 29? Its apparent she stomps that relationship like fucking Godzilla, I feel sorry for the poor man.

Oi!
OceanDeep,
A vast majority of Cancerian women are emotionally crazy (said with a little tongue in cheek). Except if they have strong Earth postions in there chart.
You, with your Cancer Sun, Gemini Asc, Gemini Venus would be all over the place, today you might be calm and logical
tomorrow, who knows.
Thankfully your Mars is in Aquarius and not a fire sign like Aries. But you'd be good at intellectual dodgeball.
If someone picks up on your 'method' you could just likely shift your stratergy just to put them off.

Oh, trust me, You're a handful, yourself

😉

You know me so well 😄 lol

And this too is tried and true 🙂

I love your meat cleaver visual. I completely understand you not wanting to let the woman back into your kitchen. And honestly keep her away from it as far away as you can. Especially since she can not cook a damn. Who makes just noodles? Barbaric if you ask me. Out of the box Alfredo give me a damn break. I give you props on making the noodles from scratch..That is a lot of work. But she could have made the sauce from scratch. I say go make your version of it and let em have it.

Cooking from scratch is not that damn hard. Anyone can do it. All it takes is a desire to do so. Saying that it is hard is a sorry excuse if you ask me.

It's not about her not wanting to let the woman back in her kitchen, that's her prerogative, and the kitchen is HER domain to reclaim.. it's about her getting so emotionally ratcheted up that she was visualizing beating her own man bloody with a meat cleaver over him complimenting a meal someone else cooked.

To clarify...

Not crazy: "Brother's girlfriend offered to cook, so I let her. She made it from a box, no sides, and it sucked. I won't be letting her back in MY kitchen, I'll just keep cooking the homemade meals I love to serve to my family. The other woman can do the dishes or something, no more "help" with the cooking. Problem solved. My Cap thought THAT shit was good?.. Wait 'til he tastes my REAL fettuccine alfredo.. his eyes are going to roll into the back of his head haha"

Crazy: "Brother's girlfriend offered to cook, so I let her. She made it from a box, no sides, and it sucked. Then MY Cap had the NERVE to compliment her.. OH HELL NO!! So now THAT BITCH is not allowed back in my kitchen, and I imagined whacking my own man to death with a huge knife in gory detail. And fuck them both, I'll NEVER make that dish for him properly. Cuz she's a bitch who can't cook and he's an asshole for being nice about it."


So tell me.. if the brother's girlfriend actually COULD cook from scratch and DID make a fabulous homemade meal (even if she'd never made it for her Cap yet).. and then he complimented the cook like that.. do you REALLY think the Cancer would have been a happy camper and all smiles and pleasantry? Don't be foolish.

It's not about the other woman cooking from a box.. it's about Cancer's barely-contained over the top emotional reaction (aka jealousy) that her man actually complimented another woman. The food being sub-par is the excuse she uses to justify (and ignore and deflect from) her intense jealousy.. cuz if the food had been up to HER level of culinary expertise .. you all know this story would have been worse. Or better, depending on how much "blood and guts" you like! :p

Wait 'til he hugs the brother's girlfriend goodbye, as they're leaving for Kansas.. or just smiles at her too long. *wink*

Honestly, when he told her it was the best he was most likely being facetious and wanted to have an inside joke with you?

Nah.. I misread that line in the original post. Apparently, she's so used to stuffing down and hiding how she REALLY feels about things.. So as she's imagining bloodying this guy up, and he looks at her -- SHE smiled and winked at HIM!

I'm.. kinda creeped out, actually. -_-

Well I'm not here to put down anyone;( I think overall the pasta would have tasted better if it were vegan😉

LOL, Uhmmm lots of funny and yet misread comments. So anyways, it was me being a bitch because cooking is my passion, i feed people, i cook thats what i do. I actually made a joke about it two days later.. in the kitchen while i was making Chicken fried steak,mashed potatos,gravy,and green beans, and yea, homeade yeast rolls. He said "Are you serious" i laughed and said "Yea" he said "You wanna beat me huh?" and then threw salad at me" I said "Im gonna beat you" and he laughed and said "Beat me baby" OH GOD.. LOL.. We ended up in a food fight, laughed and ended up on the floor.... treetrunking. I wasnt so pissed i would actually do it. I guess you need to know me in real life to know that. I was just irritated was all, i vented, i laughed its over with. LOL... 😉 Thanks...
