>>7491902
My grandma doesn't. She's extremely british despite having lived in Australia for 65 odd years. The only things she makes well are roast and apple pie and everything that's not meat and 3 veg is too exotic for her to even consider.
grandmas being better at cooking is a meme
>>7491905
I think mine is just retarded. She served baked potatoes AND sweet potatoes as the side dish.
My grandma was a terrible cook. I'm told she hated doing it, so she always made the same crappy meals. She made excellent baked goods and jam though.
>>7491912
I made this instead and my grandpa called me a faggot and told me to stay away from his beer.
>>7491902
Is that hard tack? You poor thing.
>>7491922
Tell him you'll haunt his ghost when he dies. Spoop him good.

>grandmother grew up poor with little food
>gets herself a decent job as nurse, grandfather has a decent job
>her hobby is cooking, decent cook
>buys expensive quality ingredients, makes 2-3 times more food than needed to send home with people or to freeze and eat later
>behavior brought on by her childhood.
>she retires, grandfather dies
>does a complete 180, worried about money and living off of her fixed income.
>very small meals, very cheap meals, lowest quality ingredients you can buy.
Sucks, I used to love eating her food but now its awful. My family used to go over every week or two to have a nice meal, but the food got so bad that they had stopped going.
Im not sure if she quit caring, or if she is just too old or if the food she buys is really bad.
>>7492001
>>7492001
Why don't you all chip in for the meals?
I mean, if she has a bad economy, just do that, or "everyone brings an ingredient"
>>7492025
Or like, give your grandparent some money so she can live easier as every normal grandchild does anywhere but in USA I guess.
>>7492051
Does money grow on trees in your vllage?
>>7492051
Where do you live that your grandparents are so poor they take money from their grandchildren? I've never heard of this.
My grandma smoked 2 packs a day and coughed up phlegm constantly. Would wipe her mouth with a handkerchief covered in phlegm then proceed to knead dough with her hands. Never washed her hands ever, or that handkerchief.
>>7491902
My grandma is a stupid fat fuck who uses an electric wheelchair because she's too lazy to haul her 400 pound ass anywhere.
She doesn't cook, she bakes, and never, ever follows recipes. 1 cup sugar? let's try 1 cup sugar and 1 cup marshmallow fluff and also I'm going to eat a jar of peanut butter.
You'd think with her 6 bookshelves of cook books, diabetes cook books, cooking magazines and printed recipes that she'd follow a single one. Nope. She's just a fat fuck hoarder. God damn I'm mad 11/10 i fell for your ruse, fuck this thread
>>7492068
shes loves you anon..... you shouldnt be so angry at her or in general
My grandma makes good wholesome simple dishes. Absolutely love her cabbage rolls.
My grandma is dead because she fell through a back porch that we told her to stay away from after roofers dropped tiles and broke a board. She was to lazy to walk to the front door and fell on a rusty nail, then refused to go to the hospital and died half a year later from bloodline bacteria infection.
Needless to say her cooking sucked and she lied about being Italian.
>>7492069
There aren't many jobs left that still offer a pension here. We have social security though. And lots of jobs that will match your contribution to a 401k. But you are kind of expected to plan for your own retirement.
Not that we wouldn't help out our grandparents if they need it. But my own parents would probably do that before I did. It's nice of you to help them out though, it would probably make me feel good to help if I had to.
>grandma used to cook amazing food
>had a stroke
>doesn't cook anymore
FUG :D
>>7492094
Wow, was she retarded or just really stubborn?
>>7492101
I would be opposed to cooking too if I was a vegetable.
>>7492051
American millenials can't afford to move out of their parents by age 30, much less support their grandmother.

I just wanted to have that Grandma's delicious home cooking experience. Just once
>>7492165
Reminds me of my exes mother.
>Meat is always overcooked
>knows nothing about seasoning
>salt is the devil
>loves to use crockpot
>olive oil isn't meant for cooking
>let's use cheap sunflower oil instead
>manages to overcook frozen pelmeni to a watery mush
>her soups were water with carrots and potatoes, of course no salt because everyone should season at the table
Every time I had to eat with her parents was just terrible, once she made a roast in the crockpot and forgot to add any salt, it was literally just a slowly boiled piece of meat, she just laughed and said she likes it.
>>7492114
She isn't a vegetable. She just has trouble speaking now after getting through physical therapy.
Spanish grandma used to make awesome stews with the best flavour ever. My aunt is always pissed off because we always say "good, but not as good as grandma's".
Englush grandma I can't even remember except she always used to have freshly baked cake when we visited. It was always dry but warm and tasted good and it was made with love and she loved seeing us eat it so it was great anyways :3
>>7491902
Both of my parents mothers are dead, fuck you asshole
>tfw my wife's son will be born in about 7 weeks from now
>>7491902
One of my step-grandmothers was an OK cook, but we didn't visit her that often; she's been gone for many years.
Father's mother died when I was little. Mother's mother wasn't part of my life to any great extent.
>>7492001
>Grandma cooks free food, everyone visits here every week.
>Grandma stops cooking (no free food :<), nobody bothers to visit her anymore.
Why don't you just kill yourself my man?

Your meme is stale and you're a faggot.
>>7491997
>tfw grandma's of today are 45-50 year old house moms who couldn't control their teens or learn to be a real house wife.
My mom has is a grandma and can't cook, clean, sew or bake for shit. I notice a lot of the same for women her age.
>>7491987
Do this, it will be hilarious.
>>7492064
I'm glad she's dead, Anon.
>>7492025
>>7492051
I guess I didnt make it clear.
She isnt poor or hurting for money at all, she has a decent chunk of savings in addition to her widowed tier social security.
She is only acting like she cant make the bills for some reason. And on the other hand she goes out and bought a car with cash last year.
>>7492297
She was an ER nurse for 40 years, she is abrasive and never emotionally close to me (or my mom for that matter). We went to see my warm and loving grandfather.
After he died we all kind of just stopped getting together, nobody reall saw a reason to try and keep going.
Its why its such a pain in the ass during holidays, because its an obligation and the food isnt good.
>cooks a pound of ground beef
>doesn't drain much grease
>dumps in half a bottle of either ketchup, mustard, or bbw sauce
>served with saltine crackers and a glass of milk

I agree that that's a shame, and before reddit jumps down my throat for being sexist, I think those are all skills both men and women should possess, they're a basic part of taking care of yourself and those you care for

Your tax dollars are going into the military industrial complex more than anything. And that isnt going to change, candidates on both sides have monetary interest in it.

i'm ok with that. what i'm not ok with is welfare sponges eating mayo by the jar on public transportation presumably on the way to walmart to buy more mayonnaise. that's just.. it's not even.. WHY IS SHE EVEN ALIVE?

Does that big scary "Healthcare" slice, by any chance, include the VA?

>>7492974
>>7492973
Pie chart is misleading in this context, it can always be broken down further.
A large percentage of "non defense discretionary" spending still goes to military and former military.
And an overwhelming majority of the social security/healthcare/other mandatory are social programs for the old, not for the "poor and lazy".
Then you have to throw in a large chunk for unemployment and school grants.
You can pretend its the poor wallowing away your tax dollars, but if you want to shit on social programs its the old people who are siphoning it away.
And it still doesn't change the absurd amount spent on the military
>>7493050
No, non discretionary
The "healthcare" is for medicare/medicade/subsidies health insurance
>>7493061
tell the rest of world to stop relying on our military might and to pay their fair share and we can cut it. right now though Europeans spend less than 2% of their gdp on defense and brag about it because we will cover their ass in exchange for nothing.
>>7493073
>tell the rest of world to stop relying on our military might and to pay their fair share and we can cut it
How about stop being the world police?
Why is it one nations job to pretend its high and mighty and that it needs to be stationed everywhere in the world?

Nah, I'd rather have Americans die in the fucking desert than my countrymen.

This is going to sound especially ungrateful because she pretty much looked after me for the first 3 years of my life, but it's been so long since I last spoke to her that I don't even feel too sad about this. Still would like to see her at least once, though.
My grandmas are ded

Only the adopted one, a nun, wrote down her recipes, so we have those, at least.
A lot of my family is from Kansas and they cannot have any spices. Salt, pepper, and butter is about all they can handle. I made them Cajun shrimp and andouille pasta with a tomato cream sauce and I put about half the cayenne pepper I normally would and they couldn't eat it. Also put an onion, and a green and red pepper in.

My grandma was a great cook, but now she can't see and she's a little bit frail, so she doesn't cook much anymore. Any time we get together I cook for her now, but we still talk about food a lot and I'm working on transcribing her recipes and such.
Had some really good times as a kid cooking with her- my very first time cooking anything ever was getting to scoop pancake batter onto the griddle, making dinosaurs and shit- and I think her and my mother both loving to cook and being really good at it, seeing how much happiness it brought our family and how nice it was to sit around a dinner table together and whatnot, is what made me want to be a cook.
I'm a line cook at a fine dining restaurant now and holy shit I love my job. Long hours and shit pay but I wouldn't want to do anything else.
My grandma died when I was three, I faintly recall her but never her cooking. She was an alcoholic because my grandfather, a Chinese immigrant, worked two jobs and they didn't see each other very bunch and he wasn't around much to help raise my mom and her siblings. All of her dishes my mom makes pretty well, though. She made these weird "enchiladas" which is more like tortilla lasagna with salsa sauce, simple and Hearty as can be, killer gumbo, and her affection for unsweetened black tea persisted in my mom and to me.
My Italian grandma was pretty good up until my grandpa died, after that she got more neurotic and her food got waaay worse. Some things aren't bad, but a lot of it is simply bland, dry, or just poorly crafted
>>7491902
I don't think my grandmother ever cooked a single meal in her entire life and she certainly isn't going to start now. She's the kind of lady who thinks ketchup belongs slathered on every meat, that frozen dinners are of higher quality than anything a human could possibly cook in front of her (when she was still going out to eat she would always, without exception, send her main course back and have them re-do it even if everything was fine) and that chocolate ice cream is suitable for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

>extreme schizophrenia

>>7492792

>>7494898
She was an old nun that we called 'granny.' It's not like she was officially adopted with documents and stuff. We were just very close. Having no kids (and therefore no grandkids) of her own, she was doting on us and our family, like a grandmother, so we came to regard her as one.
And calling an unrelated person by filial titles isn't that weird, is it? Like how people call their parents' friends "Aunt This" and "Uncle That."

I bet your Italian grandma makes some great cookies though, which I sure would love the recipe or even the name of.

Anything like this?
My grandma was a foreign arab who saw any animal that wasn't cat or dog as livestock. When I was a kid she came over my house and cooked up my pet turtle into turtle soup while I was biking with my friends and fed it to me not knowing what it was until I walked into my room and was greeted with an empty cage, shit traumatized me for weeks.
[spoiler]It was some good fucking soup though, I miss her ;_;[/spoiler]
>>7493658
>she's probably old beyond recognition by now
I recently found out that a close friend of my (deceased) grandma developed severe alzheimer's disease. She's belligerent with her caregivers and cruel to her own daughter, who she does not recognize.
No, you don't sound ungrateful.
>>7492001
She is doing this to save as much money as she can before she goes out.
Also most likely her biggest food fan your grandad died, its possible her passion for serving decent meals passed with him
>>7493658
go join the ROK army you fucking weeb
My grandma always invites me over for dinner in order to get rid of all her expired food without telling me. She grew poor so she's autistic about throwing food out.
Fuck she's a bad cook. Last dinner I had with her it was a chicken divan dish with broccoli and the broccoli was fucking brown and tasted like fish. Gotta force it down with a smile though.
>>7491902
Kids, grandma's today are babyboomers or worse. That selfless cooking granny is a thing if the long gone past.

They were thinner and lighter colored, like a sugar cookie. I think they might have been piped out of a pastry bag or something but they still looked less smooth than that.
>grandmother is french

The only thing I can make better than her is eastern food, she kicks my ass at anything western.
>>7492710
It's her money you entitled double nigger, she can do what she wants with it.
Maybe she doesn't want her deadbeat grandchildren eating her out of house and home anymore?
my grandmother's cooking is good but nothing special, while my friend's grandmother makes god tier pretty much anything that uses dough or batter, and the best egg rolls I've ever had in my life
my grandma on my dads side is a decent cook, but her house is infested with roaches so it'a always a game of "pick through the food as much as possible with every single bite unless you want extra protein"
it's almost a game between me, my sister, and our cousins to trade horror stories about finding roaches in our food
i remember she made some mac n cheese for me and after a few bites i saw half a roach sticking out, vomited it up in the toilet and found the other half
one cousin found a roach leg in her glass of tea, and another one found a roach fried onto a piece of bacon
>>7501221
how the fuck do you live like that?
>>7501253
