  • Bitchiing In The Kitchen :)

    GOT ANY kitchen bitchin to do?

    Tiredofchub got me started on this in her Cinco De Mayo thread and since this week I seem to be on an endless tangent of bitchin about something I thought I would about something she said that sparked me...


    Cooking for people you do not like...ARGH!!! That is hard especially when you put so much of yourself in your food!!! I like most everyone off hand there are only 3 people right now I can not stand .. 1. lives in Washington DC in a big white house and I do not ever have to worry about cooking for him 2. Was finally forced out of our clinic because seems I was not the only one who thought he was an atrocious human being and the 3rd I have to WORK WITH HER TODAY!

    I remember taking wonderful dishes to potlucks and when I saw the guy I mentioned as being number 2 (oh yeah he was a big number 2 if you know what I mean) and then after tasted my food he would come and compliment me ...I wanted to puke .. I just could not stand the idea that something I put so much love and effort into ..he was enjoying...sorry this seems so weird but it is true!!!

    So number 3 this woman I have to deal with on Saturdays ..lets just say she is Nurse Cratchet personafied...
    she does not discriminate she is rude and offensive to everyone!!! Spreads mean gossip from clinic to clinic...she does not talk about people by who they are she defines them by race and what she knows about it...and btw that is everything about EVERY race..so when we have breakfast at work she always says..."I can not be bothered cooking for you I will bring Krispy Creme" knowing full well we are a small team and all of us try to eat very healthy...

    I tried to give the MA's a break one busy day when I was sitting and doing nothing in urgent care ...she tossed a fit "since when do they get breaks we will see about that" ....there is something like this every week....and she is constantly writing everyone up for everything ...my boss ignores it but is not capable of changing her either...

    that said.I found in the past when people were hard to work with if you sit down and eat in and off working situation it seems to smooth stuff over and you find some kind of fun in each other ......food is common bond or binding....so I tried to humanize her buy having a nurses lunch at my house....She stood there when we all gathered to choose a date and asked for directions...then on the day of the party she said "sorry I will take check since I was not personally invited" OMG since we gathered and planned it together I was not of the opinion she needed a special and personal invite and this was planned a month ahead and we had all been talking about it and the menu including her ...I did not want to cook for her anyway ..in the past when I brought food in for our Saturday shift she wrote me up for it being too strong with garlic smell or something else she could think of (my boss laughed asked why I never brought her food and tossed the emails) ....she is just a miserable unhappy and hard to be around person...and I really wanted to have this work out...but it didn't so oh well....

    I am trying to find some medium here but it looks like since I have been offered the same day in my usual clinic I a not going to try so hard anymore..somethings have no resolve at all you know and I hate that ..I always can find a common ground to work with people and I take it so personally when I can't...that I need to feel it is ok that this woman is a bitchwoman and I have no control over her ..only my own behavior ...

    Today I am gathering with my coworkers to plan a cooking fest for one of our PA's annual bbq's ..it is huge and over 100 people go every year it is a festival more than a BBQ...so we are going to gather and cook at my house and bring wonderful food....I am not even asking her this time ..I can't ..

    your turn ....

      Heidi, some people are just so foul. That woman sounds like she's a very unhappy person...and there is NOTHING you'll be able to do to make her come around. Be happy she won't be participating in your party...everyone would probably be better off.

          Thanks Joy
          ..I have to say this is a bigger picture ..let me tell you a "for instance" ..I had a cardiac emergency come in last week and had to get a line in this guy asap and call 911 so I placed all my IV set up on the tray ..we all have our lay outs ...just like cooking ..you lay your stuff out then get the line in ..well I put my stuff out she came in and moved it all!!!!! the tape and everything ..so when I got the vein I turned to grab my blood collection stuff so I could draw some blood before I started running fluids ...and it was not where I put it!!!! She does this all day long!!!

          just like good cooks ...good nurses do touch each others set ups...ever!!!

          so it is awful and I have trouble ingoring it ..and staying civil infront of patients!!! but you are right and this is a lot of ******** for a Saturday morning so I will drink my coffee take a shower and face her today ...knowing that our days together are numbered and I am grateful!!!!

              Heidi, repeat after me...calm blue ocean....calm blue ocean. Now having said that she sounds like a twit.

              My ***** is that I made the parmesan coated chicken strips last night (haven't made them in about a year and a half) and the coating was not crispy, but more like a thick powdery coating. I used a different parmesan (was on sale) and it tasted OK, but was very very fine. Could this be the problem?

                Oh god. Im sorry I set the stage Heidi! lol.

                Im not sorry however to know that there are other peole that feel like I do. I love to cook. I enjoy cooking for friends. Even if its something like burgers. I enjoy it. I enjoy the companionship of it, the sharing etc etc. when I cook, I put myself into what Im making. Its a part of who I am.

                There is one woman at work that used to make snide comments about whatever I was eating. 'eww that looks nasty', 'what stinks', what IS that" etc etc. Mind you shes a hateful cow and slams everyones weight loss because SHE cant lose anything while shes inhaling 2 quarter pounders and a large fry or an entire thick crust pizza. Do I feel sorry for her? not one bit. Is that wrong? possibly. She was on WW for a short time while I was, I TRIED helping her out. that went nowhere.

                  thank you Binsk I am finding my happy place now and water is my favorite calm you know I am a Pices

                  I think some chicken holds more moisture than others from processing actually I have read they they get plunged into a vat of water or something to make them weigh more? ...some one correct me please? and that could be the problem ...or if the cheese was not pure parm?

                  but that would pisss me off too!!!

                  Tired that is how this nurse is ...I brought some fried plantains to work for our breakfast with some garlic sauce and she went nuts "OMG THAT SMELLS DISGUSTING" then went in and wrote a three page email about how it smelled to my boss...

                  too bad I ate a LOT of raw garlic last night is that vindictive ...or should I have some more before the shift is over?

                    HAHAHAHAHA doooooo it!

                    I've had to feed an archenemy before, and OMG did I hate it! One of DH's ex-girlfriend's who was still a friend of one of DH's friends... well this friend brought her to our New Year's Party without asking and I decided I'd be friendly and try to get along with this person but all she did was scowl at me and say rude things--all this while eating the lovely party food I'd slaved over.

                    Grrrrr...
                    No stats. Not weighing anymore ever. Will post "before and after" pictures when I want to. The end.

                      YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME ..lets keep this thread for bitchhin ....

                      ok a little change of pace and since I told you know who to "please just leave me alone would you???" my day turned out fine


                      soooooo... lets make this juicy and you guys...I know I am not the only person on this board with a history ..so let's not pretend ...and I am not going into details ...no way....but I will give you little some dirt on me

                      this wedding for my daughter that I have been asked to cook for and my heart is with her..but I have this other side to me and ..well ...well there we be a man there that I had a torrid relationship with many many many (like longer than many of you have been alive) years ago....

                      so even though my utmost priority for making food is for my daughters' big day...my second priority is to watch this guys eyes when he eats it knowing we will both be going home with our own spouses ...I know for a fact I have the better deal.....

                      I have to make perfect food for this you know and there will be a LOT of heat in and at this dinner I promise.....the fact is ..this is part of why Kelda and I are still so close ..she is as passionate as I am


                      ok how bad am I now?

                          Re: Bitchiing In The Kitchen

                          I get nervous cooking for other people LOL. I'm a pretty good cook when its just my family or a few friends but I always feel like I'm being judged. I'm better at cooking for my in laws now days, but I really dread cooking for my step mom. She has this attitude that no one knows how to cook but her and her mom alone. She has named us all beginner cooks, and not "chef" like herself. I admit she has some good recipes, but most of those have come from other people. She is a real stickler about sharing recipes and feels they should be horded for herself and that if we ever want those items made we need to put in a request for them. I'm to the point in my own cooking where I can eat something of hers and pretty much tell everything she puts in it, and I think she knows this from our last get together as I pretty much listed her "special carrot cake ingredients" to her. I think in all honesty, she just is lonely. She doesn't want people making her "items" because then we would know how too!
                          I guess its just hurtful, that I grew up with her and she is still this way with me, but is not this way with her son's wives. I go out of my way to do things for her that her kids do not do.. like buying her a mothers necklace with a poem that took me 3 months to write, while her kids are handing her cheap unthoughtful gifts in a paper bag. I've forgiven her for treating me like **** while growing up, and I guess now I just make it through the day hoping someday that light bulb will go off in her head! So theres my kitchen *****, cooking for others because of low self esteem from my step mom! lol Although I must admit I am getting better at the pressure as I meet more nice people.

                            OMG awesome post and Sashie welcome!!!!


                            I think with confidence comes attitude..so I pump myself up and build passion when I am doing something huge for a crowd ..I also get a little vain and hard to be around that is for sure..


                            it is like doing a play I think you build a part and play it

                            that is what works for me ..but then who am I anyway to be giving advice

                              Thanks Heidi

                              I have no problems making something then sharing it with like my neighbors, or hubbies co-workers. I think its more the cooking infront of people bit. I just sent him some home made goods on the ship (cookies and jerky) and I guess the guys were raving about them. It makes me feel awhole lot better! LOL My father in law really helped me over the years, he told my mother in law he wanted to move in with us, and told my sister in law she needed to take notes from me (gah felt bad for her). I really enjoyed cooking for him, but he has since had a gastric bypass. He tells me, he doesn't miss food in general, but misses my cooking.. awww
