Not good. Cooked dinner and it wasn't good enough. So my family wasn't happy. This isn't the first time they've made clear their disappointment with me, it happens all the time. This was just one of the worst ever. I've not felt well as a result. I wonder if I'm on the brink of an anxiety attack.
Seems to have triggered a nosebleed, at 4AM this morning.

What'd you make Tarty?

Nothing fancy, just some veg (apparently not done for long enough) and meatballs.

Huh. Is that a common dinner over there? Was it Italian meatballs with marinara? If you want some help I can send you a couple of easy, delicious recipes.

Just supermarket meatballs in the oven with steamed veggies. :P Boiled potatoes that I can't seem to boil right. Steamed carrot that for the life of me remained harder than a teenager at a strip club.

There's a joke in here somewhere about perpetuating a stereotype of bad British food. Just can't seem to find one though. Cooking can be a little challenging but there are some great, easy recipes out there. You just need to find the ones you're good at and refine them. Also, it may seem like a pain but make as much from scratch and fresh ingredients as possible.

Well, when I'm experimenting for myself, sure. When I'm cooking for three other people, I'm gonna stick to what I know (better).

If they are gonna be rude like that you should tell them to stop complaining and be thankful or to make their own food. 👍❤[spoiler]I'm sure your cooking tastes great. I'll eat about anything really. I'm actually really hungry xc[/spoiler]

[spoiler]It was actually just my dad that complained, no-one else did. It's always my dad. :/[/spoiler]

Same.My dad hates corn so if a single corn kernel ends up on his plate,he complains.Lumpy gravy?Complains.Watery gravy?Complains. If I get it dead perfect there's no complaints,but he doesn't even say thank you either.

My sister used to do the meal on Thursdays, but now she works some Thursdays. So I've been doing it on and off for the last few months. Never did my dad any gravy because sometimes he has it, sometimes he doesn't. Then yesterday he complained because I hadn't made gravy. As for your last line, that about sums it up. How not to parent, eh.
