Tweet saying: My bf was slow cooking ribs and I guess they were done in the middle of the night. So this man wakes me up at 3 am and goes “here babe, i brought you a rib.” So we sat in bed and ate ribs. I’ve found my soulmate.
Glad they’re happy but I would be pissed off beyond measure. You woke me up at 3am for this? No I don’t want ribs at this time. I have to be up for work soon. Why are they even ready at this time anyway? Did it not occur to you that slow cooking might take a while? And to top it all off you want to eat them in bed and stain my sheets gtfo
So he’s not YOUR soulmate. Got it.
Yep, I wasn’t being sarcastic when I said I’m glad they’re happy. What a wonderful world we live in that these two ne’er-do-wells can find each other.
I’m still looking to find someone who finds my particular brand of weirdness attractive.
But if a woman woke me up in the middle of my sleep to give me ribs, my brain wouldn’t be on enough to register what was happening.
I’d probably get confused, put it on my pillow, put my face on the rib, and go back to sleep licking the rib and pillow.
You don’t deserve the ribs
If you can’t handle my ribs at 3am, you don’t deserve my ribs at 6:30pm
Imagine the lives of people who can just randomly eat ribs at 3 AM. No work in the morning, they aren’t perpetually tired so they’re OK with random sleep interruptions, they don’t care about sheets that much, but they can slow cook ribs, so all of this doesn’t mean they’re broke.
I’m envious as shit, if anythingNO RIB FOR YOU
No reason to assume this happened on a work night.
Glad they’re happy but I would be pissed off beyond measure.
Isn’t that the whole point of relationships? For us to understand what we like, what we want, and what we don’t, and find partners who fit those things (while simultaneously fitting their preferences)? And then let people with different preferences and different characteristics find their own matches?
I certainly wouldn’t be this person’s soul mate because like you, I’d be annoyed at the lack of planning and not at all charmed by this particular style of quirkiness. But let other people enjoy the things they enjoy.
First words Adam said to Eve. Same feelings. Can’t wait till a snake offers her an apple.
Cooking delicious food for people is one of my favorite ways to demonstrate affection.
hugs you
There. We’re friends now.
Lemme get one. One rib.
Sleepy breakfast ribs sounds great to me 🤤
Buy a pressure cooker
I may be alone in this but I don’t lik how a pressure cooker impacts the texture opposed to a traditional slow roast. I am constantly making pulled pork with a pork shoulder bone in and the pressure cooker the meat has a weird consistency. It’s tougher. Not a fan.
I’m with you.
For meat, I generally prefer dry heat. If we’re doing low and slow, I like slow roasted in the oven, or smoked in an outdoor smoker. If it’s fast heat, like steaks, I prefer it over charcoal. Or burgers on a griddle.
For things where wet cooking works better (steam, poach, braise), a pressure cooker can be a good substitute, but even then I generally prefer the control that comes from being able to add ingredients at different times, open the lid to check on things, adjust temperature or seasonings as necessary, etc.
Basically I very rarely use my pressure cooker. It’s fine for making stocks, and is fine for making beans quickly from dried, but it’s almost never my first choice for any main.
Are you pressure cooking it for long enough and do you natural release
When you quick release for some meat the juices get pulled out of the meat
And if you don’t cook it for long enough it’s going to be tough
Makes up for the one that was taken from him amirite
Needless cruelty and violence against vulnerable individuals is not wholesome unless you just block that shit out of your head so you can keep doing it.
I knew this comment was going to be here so I went digging and here we are.
