/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Did you pay for it out of your own pocket?

>>15502488
Yes I paid for everything. I already had all of it except for the cream cheese, but it was all paid for by me at some point.

>>15502473
YOU ARE A FUCKING RETARD

>>15502473
they're dicks but that poor blender. go apologize.

>>15502510
Why?

>>15502511
It’s ok. It was my ex’s anyway.

>>15502473
I mean.. its a little light for a brunch (specially the milk) but if it was free then fuck them. Who were they to you anyway?

>>15502526
It was 4 of my friends and two of them brought dates, my cousin, his wife, a friend of hers, a guy I have a crush on and one of his friends. Also, you have to realize it was really short notice for me and I’ve never been to a brunch before today.

>>15502473
they arent your friends, fuck em

Lugubrious means melancholy. It was the overall vibe. If you are sad, anon, know that we at /ck/ love you and we are always with you.

>>15502551
but you said you had to and now "short notice"..why?

>>15502558
But that’s hard to accept. I get so lonely and I don’t know a ton of people.

>>15502565
i know anon

>>15502551
homosexuality is immoral

>>15502565
Keep trying and when you find the right time and place, you will allow yourself to get better

>>15502564
Because my friend had brunch plans that fell through and I said they could do it at my place. I volunteered assuming I had enough food for a brunch. I thought brunch was just a thing where you like nibbled on a bagel or something and talked but people seemed disappointed.

>>15502573
I’m a woman.

>>15502583
You deserve rape for not being my wife

>>15502473
they are dicks. I'm sorry op.

>>15502473
you did good anon, i am sorry they didn’t appreciate the extent of your effort. i am proud and would have enjoyed such a brunch

this board has really gone down hill. All of you merchants get out of my temple.

>>15502595
Dad?

>>15502604

Thank you all and to everyone else for showing me understanding. I’ll be printing this thread and mailing it to the person who made the post and the people who liked it.

>>15502627
dont do that tard

>>15502595
Get back to /b/ teenager

>>15502473
I'm a grammar Nazi and even I wouldn't be friends with someone who unironically describes things with the word "lugubriousness".
Also, insulting friends on social media. That's a permanent ghosting from me.

>>15502627
God bless. /ck/ is a fren board.

Brunch is to get acceptably day drunk. Next time get stuff for a build your own mimosa or bloody mary area with everything ready to go. Bagles are OK. Maybe add some lox.

I still woulda went just to hang out though man. Hang in there OP

>>15502617
Well to be fair here not everyone got a bagel because I didn’t have enough so some had bagels and some had bacon and there was cereal. But I did give everyone “coupons”. I made homemade coupons for a free croissant from me that I’d buy them whenever they want and handed it out as they left.

>>15502578
how can brunch plans fall through, but it can be done elsewhere with none of the "original foodstuffs" and then they're disappointed. you got played, they were never your friends. probably just spent all their money on drugs and i hate to say it but your cousin probably knew you were the rube you are and presented you most convincingly as such to the group. live and learn i guess.

>>15502661
I’m not a rube!!

>>15502660
Perhaps your friends are not doing so well, anon. Bring friends takes effort, and sometimes we all make mistakes. Things are never exactly what you expect. I try to view things that way, for me, not others.

>>15502660
Damn I took the bait. No way this is true. You got me though anon. GG

Brunch is to supposed to involve alcohol specifically mimosas. Normies go to brunch to swill mimosas until the enamel is burnt off their teeth. At a bare minimum you need 3-4 bottles of cheap champagne, OJ, bacon, and some kind of eggs.

>OP is a woman
>No milk for cereal
>No bagel so only bacon
You went too far with your bait man

>>15502667
wanna host a brunch? my plans for one fell through.

>>15502680
So true.

>>15502687
I don’t drink and don’t want the people I care about to either. But eggs are a good idea. I should have made eggs.

>>15502693
I had bagels just not enough for everyone to have one. But I was pretty sure that overall there was enough food for everyone.

I look like Brad Pitt Frome once upon a time in hollywood unironically

>>15502660
I retract. U suck at brunch, op. Don't invite people over if you aren't prepared.

>>15502578
>>15502473
I think some people treat brunch as a somewhat special affair where the food and drink is somewhat remarkable. Like, a meal that would satisfy you like a lunch would. Brunch restaurants where I live do things like mimosas, lox & bagel, waffles with fruit or other sweet toppings, eggs benedict, etc. in addition to regular breakfast food.

Personally I would chow down on what you offered (though I would REEEE that there was no milk.) Maybe your guest who posted shit wanted a fancy occasion. Or maybe, like another anon said, the group just didn't vibe together well.

>>15502707
Alright ill bite. You hosted a brunch. But you didnt have enough food so that everyone could have what they wanted. So think like this. My wife wouldnt eat dry cereal. Hell, she wouldnt eat crunch with milk. So her only choice would be a bagel but oops she didnt get one. So its only bacon and coffee? Thats a shitty ass brunch.

>>15502724
I thought I was prepared because I assumed brunch was just like a snack but people here are making me think otherwise. I’m just going to stop trying to socialize I guess. I’m not cut out for it and people always gang up on me.

>>15502725
Thank you.

>>15502660
okay bait thread. u got me

>>15502735
It’s brunch! There are three other meals, why do you need more than that?! But I guess people do and I’m a jerk.

>>15502750
brunch is supposed to replace breakfast and lunch.

>>15502741
even if its just a snack there should be enough for everyone. Like, I'm literally an autistic weeb with no friends and I know that.

>>15502750
Because just bacon isnt a meal. Guessing on everything else. Im gonna bet it wasnt enough bacon to fill someone up per portion. Why ask if your mind is made up? Calling you out when they are your friends is a shitty move. But hosting a brunch when you dont have anything is just bumb.

>>15502750
Brunch is literaly "Lunch" and "breakfast" im one. Hence "Brunch".

>>15502565
>>15502473
Good on you for trying to get something going anon. Sucks that it didn't work so well.

It's hard to make an effort and it takes time to figure out what works, how to do it, and who is a good person for the occasion.

Also guessing people who "liked" the comment don't hate you. Prob a combination of bored mfs and people sucking the dick of the poster. At your expense, of course.

>>15502755
>>15502759
>>15502766
Fine then I’ll just kill myself then since that’s what everyone wants I guess!

>>15502788
go to bed. you seem like you're drunk, which only makes you more emotional.
also, you could have googled "how to host a brunch" beforehand. now you know for future social occasions what to do if you haven't done it before.

>>15502741
Did you break your blender?

>>15502788
Listen here little baby. You're gonna get a lot of hurtful and degrading comments, but that ain't what I'm about. Let me just say, you are perfect the way you are. You hear me sugar? PERFECT. Don't ever change. You deserve anything and everything you want. Stay safe for me, baby girl. >mfw thinking of you hurting

>>15502473
you could've provided better selection, but also brunch is definitely more of a social thing and if you paid for everything they're stupid fucks for complaining. you genuinely tried and that's the most important thing. control ur anger tho

if someone is rude enough to complain about you hosting them and providing food, even if they didnt like it, they're an asshole. you should tell them that it was rude to say something like that if you value the friendship, and if you don't then you should tell them to go fuck themselves.

>>15502812
Well I fucked that one up. Not as much as OP though.

>>15502788
no

>>15502788
if this is real then I'm sorry you're so upset, but you're presumably an adult and life is hard. Better luck next time.

>>15502810
Yes.

>>15502473
You should dump social media and get gab

>>15502741
If you give up they proved themselves to be right. You can disregard either thought. Are you smart enough to lead by example?

>>15502788
>>15502788
Mom? Why are you on /ck/? Obviously we want you with us. Come on now. I understand being glum, trust me.

>>15502473
assuming this isn't bait, did you put any actual thought into what people would actually want to eat? who the hell would just want cream cheese bagels and bacon? where's the eggs? where's the muffins? donuts? fruit? they were right to mock you on social media, you prepared a meal as if you were a broke college student. brunch should be filling since you skip breakfast for it moron, what a piss poor meal you prepared.

>>15502660
>But I did give everyone “coupons”. I made homemade coupons for a free croissant from me that I’d buy them whenever they want and handed it out as they left.
this is a bait thread

tell them you should have saved the money and bought a thesaurus

>I’ve been so angry since seeing that post that I broke my blender by throwing it across the room.
You're a subhuman. It's fine if society doesn't like you, you were never part of it.

>>15502932
>assuming this isn't bait
that's quite an assumption

>not serving the desolation of smaug burger

>hosting people for brunch when there's a pandemic going on
I shiggy diggy ck

I planned on making brunch for my friends, eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, maybe a dessert like pancakes with milk, orange juice, or coffee. Your items sounds fine to me, obviously it would be better if you had enough for everyone to choose what they wanted, but fuck them for not telling you directly that they appreciated the gesture but could offer different items to suggest or offering help. What a shitty person

>>15502473

from OP's description of the ramshackle nature of the "meal", I'd honestly rather have gone anywhere else. I'd rather have pulled through the McDick's drivethru, or spent my own money just about literally anywhere. "Free Waste Of Time" is what it is. And it sounds like at least some of them left hungry. As you grow up, you learn that to overpromise and underdeliver is no act of kindness, it's better to know your true limits and say yes or no in according with them.

As of late, I have been purchasing commercially-made hamburgers for barbecuing processes. It began as an action of convenience, but there are various high-quality hamburgers available in many high-quality stores (i.e.: not Wal-Mart).

I must admit that I have been bragging about my barbecuing skills and menus at work, and one of my coworkers essentially invited himself (and the woman he lives with, they are unmarried) to my home for a BBQ dinner.

I purchased three different kinds of hamburgers, including a stuffed variety, venison and bacon, and a more traditional kind. I grilled all three on apple wood charcoal and served them with an array of toppings and condiments along with some grilled vegetables.

The next day, the coworker told others that my meal was, "good, but I don't make my own hamburgers". First of all, I do, I just chose not to that night because I have been working late in an attempt to compensate for slackers (such as he). Secondly, my hamburger selection is impeccable.

He invited me to his home for dinner tonight and his "famous homemade hamburgers" consisted of low-grade ground hamburger beef (the kind that comes in a tube) with iodized salt and pre-ground pepper. That's it. And cooked on propane, no less.

Why do people think that cooking hand-formed patties of low-quality beef is some sort of hallmark of good barbecuing? I could barely choke the dry pucks down and could just imagine the ammonia, non-therapeutic antibiotics, GMO corn-fed, Listeria-laced food-of-the-masses as it polluted my body.

Oh, and his "partner" announced she was pregnant, as if having a bastard child is an accomplishment. A great night indeed, wait until I leak my review of his hosting abilities tomorrow at work.

Flyover never had brunch. Imagine thinking capn crunch, while tasty, is anywhere close to an appropriate food item for brunch. What you served was not brunch food. It's the complementary "continental breakfast" that would be served at motel 6 on some rural highway in Oklahoma. Brunch doesn't have to be fucking eggs benedict, avocado toast, or huevos rancheros. Just make a shitload of sunny side up, bacon, ham, and mimosa. If you have a stove with 4 burners, it would literally take 25 minutes to whip everything up. How about you literally look into something before agreeing to serve brunch to a dozen people and disappointing them all. You fucking imbecile.

Yesterday was the worst dinner I have ever had. I make a rule of not socializing with coworkers, and I should not have broken it.

6 coworkers met at someone's house yesterday under the pretense of "Irish stew". I grudgingly accepted the invitation and arrived at 2 pm (when I was told to come). I brought traditional soda bread that had to be baked first. The host made a bit of a stink about using the oven when he had other things in there, but I told him I wanted it fresh.

The stew was still cooking and the host was already drinking alcohol at this time. In the middle of a conversation with a member of the opposite sex, the host tells me, "Please, no talk about politics. PLEASE not today". I said if more people talked about politics we would be in a better country, and he got very argumentative so I just dropped it.

I was drinking apple juice that I brought over and the host kept trying to get me to have a beer. He was obviously intoxicated and starting saying how maybe I would be relaxed and "cooler" if I had some alcohol. It was pathetic, like peer pressure from a high school TV show.

Anyway, at that point I became withdrawn and went for a walk. I came back right before dinner, and that is when the fun started.

He made "Irish stew" with beef, carrots, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, hot sauce, oregano, tomato, and various ingredients. I started telling others that proper Irish stew should only contain mutton, potato, onion, and water, and that beef, tomato, black pepper, hot sauce, and other ingredients would not be available then and therefore it was a modern stew, not Irish stew.

We started eating and someone asked me about what I had said about real Irish stew. The host looked annoyed so I told him. He turned red and told me if I didn't like it I could "get the fuck out and take my apple juice with me".

Brunch is breakfast and lunch all covered, two meals as options of going either way, or a blend of both. Because it's not first thing in the morning, alcohol is also a respectable possibility. It should be a bloody mary bar, a glass of champage or a Mimosa cocktail at the very least.

One easy brunch idea is a fresh out of the oven baked quiche(s) and savory salad, like say a spinach salad, added to your breakfast spread that should have some fruit, a sweet bread option, from rolls to muffins, or even a waffle iron going, and you're likely covered. For a crowd you might find it tedius to do eggs benedict but a french toast casserole is easy. But a tray of sausages and bacon isn't a bad bet. Brunch is anything but light, but it's almost never limited.

The one that posted first, admire their own writing with their SAT word selection there, and they should be removed from your life. That was just meanness. You should probably ignore it, overall because it's utterly ridiculous you've never once been to a brunch. Are you not an adult? There's an adage that if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. Don't get on their level unless you think you'll win through sympathy for ignorance.

I was shocked and speechless. He left the room and his girlfriend (they are unmarried but live together) apologized. Eventually, people started talking more comfortably and he came back and was brooding and drinking more.

The stew was okay, but not authentic. I asked him if he knew that mutton was on sale at a local store and he flew into a tirade, bringing up any small error or faux pas I have ever committed at work. People were trying to calm him down, and I simply responded to him in a quiet and calm voice, and said that I appreciated his invitation and his "take" on Irish stew, but it would have been nicer if the company had been more warm.

He got up and pulled me out of the chair, stretching my sweater at the neck. He was literally screaming in my face and had his fist up in a threatening manner.

I told him I would call the cops if he hit me. He then told me to get out and take my "fucking juice and shit bread" with him. A second loaf was still in the oven with 7 minutes left, and I said I wasn't leaving until it was cooked and I could take it.

He shouted at me to leave or he would call the cops ON ME (imagine) and then threw the bread out of the oven on the ground. I was shaking with emotions and told the group that I enjoyed my time with them but I couldn't say the same about the host.

It was a horrible affair, but I decided to make authentic Irish stew today, because I was let down yesterday and had a hankering for it. It is simmering on the stove and I plan on bringing it to lunch tomorrow, one bowl for me and some for the host. It will be a subtle form of revenge as well as a way to show him that I am a better cook and am the more mature, forgiving person.
