/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I buy a cake, but don't like cake much so throw most of it out a week later. It's also the only day of the year I let myself watch porn, but only for one coom.

Why don't you celebrate birthdays anon?

>>16777841
this is way sadder than being a full-time coomer

>>16777846
Probably because he's not a child?

>>16777829
if you are over 8 years old and celebrating your birthday you are a retarded

grow up

>>16777888
Lots of people do, but I don't.
Which is why I asked.
>>16777846
Why would I, there's no point in it.

>>16777829
I use it as a convenient excuse to have a nice meal out with my family at one of the nicer restaurants we haven't been to. We went to a nice french restaurant last time.

>>16777888
>t. 0 enjoyment tradition denier

>>16778092
Tradition is for globohomo NY fags gloating that they're oh so cultured celebrating some irrelevant bullshit from thousands of years ago.

My dad and I have the same birthday, so I always treat him to a nice meal somewhere. We'll get more lavish and have some nice wine. We also generally go on a trip together. It's been a shitty two years because of the pandemic, but we had steak and lobster on Brian Head this year, the same in Sedona the year prior, and the year before that, had kumu/goatfish in Hawaii.

It's kinda nice to have a day a year where you just celebrate life, even nicer to share it with your dad. If I'm not out of town, my dad and I's friends all join us together and we have a nice party.

>>16777829
When I was 6 yo my mother had a miscarriage one week after my birthday. She went full schizo and blamed my birthday party for her miscarriage. Since then we stopped celebrating my birthday. I'm 35 now and I started celebrating it again when my wife kinda forced me to a few years ago or else I would just have kept not celebrating anything. We just have a nice meal, either restaurant or something good like a tournedos rossini.

I get bbq

>>16777829
I base my birthday around meals. I make a big backn and egg breakfast, hit my favorite deli for lunch and then have a steak dinner for supper (with cigars and whiskey for dessert). Its basically a day to overindulge for me.

>>16777875
Anon its an excuse to get together with family and friends.
>>16777829
I like going to a restaurant that's normally too expensive to go there often. The gook place I like was closed so I had to get thai

>>16778237
>its an excuse to get together with family and friends.
You don't need an "excuse" to get together with family and friends. Hell, the "excuse" could be because it's Sunday.

>>16778127
sounds like you'd benefit from some therapy. that's some heavy shit.

>>16777841
I buy a high end bottle of wine and eat a half a xanax from the 8 years expired bottle left behind from the last woman who I slept with, and I allow myself to fantasize about women from my past while jerking off, rather than porn or women who I match with and then ghost on okcupid. The worst is when I fantasize about her. I didn't even want her when I was with her and it feels really pathetic. That's why I only indulge once a year.

I have 2.5 of her pills left, so that's 5 years of birthdays. I'm not sure what I'll do when it runs out. Maybe I'll start heroin.

>>16778380
sry

>>16778107
>tradition is for globohomo
I don't think you know what one of these words means

Usually the family offers to take me out to dinner, so I have one birthday dinner with my parents and siblings and then a second with my in-laws on another night.

Hy

>>16777875
Well I grew up in a cult where we weren't allowed to celebrate birthdays. I've since managed to leave all that stuff behind but I still don't celebrate because I have no-one to celebrate with. I only asked to see if OP might have been a fellow cult survivor.

>>16778150
basically this but maybe a burger instead of a steak
i have a grill and know how to use it really well and have the income so steaks are kind of a commodity around here
i don't like making burgers at home because i can never get through all the ingredients
a steak and a baked potato is done and over with

i ate some pussy this year for my birthday.

back when i used to live at my mom's she used to make me a cream cake with a chocolate base and a top consisting of gelled cherries made of real cherries.

>>16778107
Holy shit this is the worst take I've ever heard

>>16777829
Jevoah Witnesses are gay

>>16777846
I have no friends.

I always order pizza and get blackout drunk

>>16778380
This is some real Bukowski shit

>>16778127
That's a sad story, I'm sorry anon

>>16777875
>not celebrating your most important day
stop hating yourself

>>16780010
Jehovah's Witnesses?

>>16778380
Hey anon, I feel for you. Same story with an ex of mine. Didnt even want her when we were in a relationship. Now I mostly think about her. I'm mostly into benzos to stop the grief.

I dont recommend heroin and alcohol, why font you try to buy some more xanax of the darkweb?

>>16781079
Yep. No fun allowed and everyone you know is going to die and you deserve to die as well.

>>16777829
It's a normal day for me, no one remembers it anyways

I have income soIf I want something nice I can eat it anytime I want

>>16777829
no

>>16780810
>most important day
yep, one year closer to death.

>>16777829
my birthday was on the first. I had a ribeye with mashed potatoes, spinach and homemade bread. I had a Miller a joint and an Arizona Ice Tea (mucho mango) I also had a slice of cake with ice cream. I stayed in a call all night with my friends playing Valorant, Trivia pursuit, League and then we watched a movie(Taxi Driver)

>>16780623
Me neither. You wanna come over to my place and buttfuck?

>>16782173
can I join in? make an omelette for breakfast or something

I go to a restaurant, any of the top rated in my city by Google review or TripAdvisor. I never cook on my birthday, feels wrong

>>16780810
I have extreme depression and anxiety. I haven't celebrated my birthday in 25 years. Most people in my life don't even know when it is but the second someone finds out I don't celebrate it they get all fucking weird about it. I don't get it, why do people care if I celebrate or not?

>>16777829
i usually eat some pussy pie

>>16782225
humans are emotional beings, overemotional even

no surprises to be surrounded by shit acting on instincts, we didn't change much in the past years, only the culture of imitation & insanity has gotten stronger

>>16778278
Are you being retarded on purpose? Most people can't afford a nice lavish dinner every Sunday. Birthdays are a nice yearly reminder of 'hey let's get together with family and blow a little money without feeling bad about it

>>16782252
>birthday
>family
can't tell if you're joking or not kek

>>16782192
Yeah sure. As long as you're not a chick, we don't want things to get gay.

>>16777841
Just buy smaller cakes dumbdumb

>>16782265
Was this post written by a bot?

>>16777841
why not have sex instead

im not op but im about to have a shitty birthday tomorrow and this thread softens the blow, so thanks. idk why i even care though its not like ive had a particularly neat birthday since i was a kid anyways, that i can remember anyway

>>16782265
where do you find non normies in RL?
why should you pay some nigger of "society" good food+ alc?

>>16783589
why would I talk to women

>>16777829
Every year for my birthday I fast for 2 days beforehand. Then I eat a big healthy meal the night before, and a small breakfast the day of. Around 12:00 I eat a large amount of psilocybin mushrooms followed by several lemonade shandies. Then I sit and think about my life.

>>16777872
Cringe
>>16777841
Based

I cook for 2-3 days and organize a huge feast with my family and friends. I eat frugally during the year but go all out on my birthday and have fun cooking stuff I usually don't do, gonna roast a whole pig for my 30th next year.

>>16777846
Stupid ritual.
>woohoo! another arbitrary number of days has passed and you're not closer to dying! let's all get drunk
Fucking stupid.
>>16777875
>>16777888
Based. Growing up is realizing that the passing of years is completely meaningless, and is truly obstructive of study and creation. When you're too busy making cool shit and being cool, you don't have time for holidays. Especially not something as limited to yourself as a birthday.
>>16778237
Friends and family are also obstructive of study and creation. I only allow my family to visit when they get bitchy about me never coming to visit, which once every sixth months. Friends are only good for opening doors. All my friends are only my best friends because they provide useful services for me, but I refuse to go out and drink with them when they ask. I would rather stay home and do something more productive than that (like someone with a brain). And you should too.

I have software compiling right now, you nudnik. I'm waiting.

>>16783726
Imagine living like this.

>>16777841
>I buy a cake, but don't like cake much so throw most of it out a week later.
Looks like you already rotted your brain coomer, hope you can make a recovery.

>>16783790
Imagine hiding jealousy behind smugness.

>>16777829
mine is on Tuesday the 5th, and I took Monday off work as well so I'm currently on my B-Day Long Weekend.
What SHOULD I have or get myself for my birthday? knowing me, drivethrufastfoodbreakfast and then some.

>>16783843
no one asked. speak when spoken to.

>>16777829
my mom makes me 미역국 or korean seaweed soup every year for my birthday since its tradition

>>16777829
On the day of my birthday, I go out to eat with my husband. On a convenient and nearby weekend, I invite my friends out to do something fun before going out to dinner. If my birthday falls on a weekend, I throw a party at my house. Whatever weekend I do celebrate on, I take the following Monday off. Fuck edgy or stoic niggas, enjoy life and celebrate your existence while you can.

>>16783726
You must be a right hoot to be around.

>>16777841
>buys entire cake despite not liking it when he could just buy a single slice
>pays for his own cake
>clearly spends birthday alone
>can’t even get pity sex on his birthday because sad low t uggo
If you ever need more evidence that “no fap” is a brainlet trend that does literally nothing, just reread this guys pathetic and moronic birthday experiences.

>>16784828
When I need to leverage a favor out of someone I am. it's not hard to throw on the customer service voice and smile around your friends when you need to ask a favor.

I’ve never had a cake for my birthday. I’ve never had people sing me Happy Birthday. What’s it like bros?

>>16784884
Irritating.

>>16783726
does your sigma grindset provide with room for time to cook your own meals?

>>16777829
I usually go out with friends to pub

>>16784884
Not even as a child anon?

>>16777829
i get wasted before dragging myself to work again hoping my drunk mind finally pulls t he trigger and i dont wake up

>>16784989
Nah my parents were junkies and total pieces of shit. Been living by myself for 3 years now and I’m only 19. Maybe I’ll get a gf one day and she will sing me happy bday. A man can dream.

>>16783726
lighten up Sheldon.

>>16783915
are you girl??

>>16785092
thats pretty sad lmao

I've ignored them for several years now, but this year I think my employer will buy a small cookie cake so I'll eat a slice. However, I will not go out with my parents even though all our birthdays are the same month.

Fried chicken

>>16783726
you’ve never been cool or created anything cool in your life you moran

>>16784874
You don't have any friends, remember? just people who are good for opening doors

>>16777829
My wife makes my favourite meal on the closest saturday, a few family come round. A friend and I have close birthdays, so we go out and get drunk fishing/camping during a weekend as well. I also celebrate with other loved-ones on their birthdays as well.

A few in this thread need to stop being so toxic and miserable, including OP.

>>16785092
You I sympathize with, but you are still young enough to go out anywhere to make a few friends close enough to comfortably have a quiet beer with.

its better to not have memories of birthdays, especially good ones, because they are like a cancer that grows more painful every year another one happens to not top the nostalgia. same goes for pretty much any holiday or special occassion. being a normie is fucking exhausting where as being the peaceful man of inaction is its own style of misery, but infinitely less cringe. its like realizing you were a zoo animal but have gained a conscious and now get to loathe the dummies still in their cage. eventually self awareness becomes an agony relieving that society is a mess of cages and that there are no escapes. watching Cube was the worst mistake I've made short of not committing sudoko. watching 12 Monkeys could soften or worsen the effect. if existentialist horror does nothing to you, then you are the monkey, npc.

Ever since I was a kid I've hated birthdays and Christmas. M parents where total assholes who would constantly yell at us and go off about how we don't desever anything. On more than one occasion I've been ground on my birthday in front of all my friends for lord knows what. My father specially is one of those prinks who makes a huge ass plan where if everything doesn't go EXACTLY as he says then he freak outs, mean while my mom is a huge boomer jew who saw her kids as a ticket to a comfy retierment when she gets old so anything not about studying to become a rich doctor or having fun she hated. Also a big reason why I love Halloween so much. My parents never cared for it and it's the only holiday where you are in control instead of the other way around.

>>16785268
That is exactly what I just said. Read the last part of my sentence.
>when you need to ask for a favor
When I need them to open a door for me, I will pretend to be their buddy. Do you lack all reading comprehension skills or what?
>>16785242
I'm cool on the daily, and I'm creating my own free operating system to evade the eye of feds right now. The firmware I wrote for my x220 is compiling currently. I am infinitely cooler than you. And I'm not sure if you misspelling moron is a nod to the ancient meme, but I won't take the bait just in case.

>>16777829
I'm poor so I just buy myself slightly nicer than usual fast ramen.

>>16777829
Crumbs scavenged from ol' mama

>>16777829
i gorge myself on bbq ribs and corn on the cob

>>16777829
I usually visit my parents for my birthday since all my family live there instead of on the other side of the country where I am.
That means I actually eat significantly worse on my birthday than the rest of the year since my parents aren't very good at cooking.
The company makes up for it, though.

My birthday is May 5th so my entire life I've always celebrated it either with friends or family going out to eat Mexican food or ordering catering of said Mexican food. To this day I still enjoy doing this now with friends and drinking tequila.

>>16777829
No, I actually forgot my last birthday until my sister sent me a message congratulating me.
