And Speaking of Sunday...

Nov 06, 2005 15:49

I need to hit the shower and tidy my house up.

I didn't get anything done for NaNoWriMo, yesterday; this means I need to write at least 4000 words today. Listening to their pep talk thing.

So... for those that are going on about cooks and cooking, this is for you.
For that that are probably going... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot this is best described ( Read more... )

I'm just trying to do my own cooking, in my own style. The problem comes in when, without me coming out and asking for the help, people continually pick apart that style and strongly suggest changes to make it "better" in their opinion, to make it more like their style of cooking. When I try the changes, no matter what, it's still not good enough for them so they suggest I try another change instead. This happens over time and I end up losing my own style of cooking. Then the people wonder what happened to my style of cooking. They complain it's bland and never connect that they had a part in making it that way ( ... )

This is where you say: "Shut up and eat and if you don't eat, just shut up!"

My tia used to make flan all the time, usually around holidays. I hated flan because I don't know why. My father used to say, "She made it and you're gonna eat it and you're gonna like it." Maybe you should try that, I don't know.

Now... I'm terrible at cooking. I can cook an awesome roast, though. But anything too complex, no. Remember in high school, though? The ever-popular mystery meat? It's in every cafeteria. Is it beef? Is it chicken? Is it pork? Just what the hell IS that they dumped into the pot today ( ... )

No. This is not the place.

This IS the place.

I'm not going to turn Cathy's journal into a warzone.

Don't be stupid.

First of all.. mystery meat that term brings bad memories.

Second, I opened the discussion here for a reason. It's called hearing all sides from the horses' mouths. If I wasn't prepared for a possible shitstorm, I wouldn't have opened the door.

If you like, I can open you up to the private shitstorm on my own journal. Based on past experience, I only thought it appropriate not to explode on your journal. Plus, I had a lot more to say on the matter than I initially suspected.

It was out of basic common courtesy that I decided to move the argument elsewhere. As I thought it was more an argument between myself and Angie, but even as I said in my opening statement there, I'm more than willing to open it up for other opinions. However, I'm leaving that decision up to Angie as to whether or not SHE wants to include others in the ... discussion.

Provided the post is opened to just myself and Cathy for now, I go on record as agreeing to the post being unblocked in that fashion.

I also ask, conditional to my agreeing to the post being selectively unblocked, that what is posted there stays between the three of us, as a gesture of courtesy to me.

Re: My Bad yellowrosetx November 8 2005, 09:33:51 UTC

I appreciate the consideration, really I do. Had this not been a violatile subject, I would have objected to an explosion. However, since I opened the subject the thread is open game.

It may mostly be argument between yourself and Angie, however, as you have seen, that argument is having an effect on others. In particular, is has effects on those involved in a mutual SL.

I leave it up to you and Angie if you wish to include me.
