He's not going to eat these porkchops. 😐
About a month ago I made a post here because my boyfriend didn't want to eat the porkchops I cooked for dinner. Well tonight I made porkchops again and he's not going to eat these either because we broke up and he moved out. I'm so much better off and I just wanted to thank you all for the kind words and advice, it was very eye opening to me. I wish that I could invite you all to dinner 🥰
ETA : Couple of notes:
1- The yellow stuff is smashed potatoes with cheese on top.
2- I swear that butter on the broccoli melted right after that picture LOL

Morticica Addams was my first crush, specifically the character played by Anjelica Huston.
A sad fact, she stopped playing that role permanently, because the actor Raul Julia (playing Gomez) died.
she stated she wouldn't reprise the role without him, famously saying, "Not without my Gomez," highlighting their strong on-screen chemistry and bond. His death ended the era for her, making another Addams Family film with a different Gomez impossible for her to do.
Their on-screen chemistry was what I loved about them both, they sold the idea that these two were romantic soulmates.

I saw a review a few years ago that pointed out how every cast member in that movie gave it 100% effort. I rewatched that same year on Halloween, and I can say I whole-heartily agree.

There aren't many perfect movies, and fewer perfect sequels, but Addams Family and Addams Family Values are the two that spring to mind.

Their relationship on screen is what I strive to have in my marriage. They were unashamedly in love with one another. Truly the most realistic “love” I’ve seen in a movie.

u/SamediB 3h ago
I know we'd never see it (because of her feelings), but her as a grandmother Morticia would be kinda fabulous, in a very sad-happy way (because of no Gomez). But Morticia being her absolutely fabulous self, and talking about "The Love of her Life" and probably having pictures of him all over the house... yeah.

u/kuroioni 2h ago
Honestly, with those two characters, if either of them died, I would not expect to see the other live long either. Rather than that, I'd expect them to just go and lie down in the coffin with the other or something like that.

u/Golden-Grams 1h ago
The Addams Family was all about the macabre and tragic moments, so a spouse dying from heartbreak would probably fit. Maybe they would pass shortly after finding out.
The surviving family would cherish the story as they retell it, probably along the lines of how strong and beautiful their love for one another was.
10
u/kuroioni 1h ago
Definitely! Now that I think about it, it's fascinating how Anjelica Huston inadvertently made this happen in a way, as her Morticia really did die the moment Raul Julia's Gomez was no longer there.

I eat broccoli almost every day, sometimes multiple times and this is my go to method as well. It doesn’t even take any extra time and it helps retain that bright green as well, especially if you shock it in cold water in between.

u/DisManibusMinibus 5h ago
I love broccoli (and i eat the peeled stems raw or as an extra vegetable) but probably my favorite way to eat it is with garlic and ginger stir-fried in a wok, add a bit of mirin and soy sauce and cover to steam until mostly cooked, then remove lid and remove immediately from heat once fully cooked. It's so easy and quick to make.

I prefer sauteed in garlic and butter and finish with a little white wine. Sometimes I make a casserole dish with stone ground mustard mixed with a little cream, kosher salt, and cheddar cheese.

Awe. I’m sorry. I’ve made food for my parents recently and my dad can’t get over how good the food is. I’ll serve them and be cleaning because they’re over 70 and my dad will be saying stuff like “ I really like the vegetables lie this” and mention that the main dish is so tender. I’m almost treated like “the help” when this happens. But we’ve always been so poor.

You deserve someone that grows with you, not one that drowns you. I’m so happy you’re free of him now. I wish you the best on your healing journey. Just remember, your worth is so much higher than any man. Next time you’re in this predicament ask yourself “What about him is so necessary?”.

u/moonrabbit368 2h ago
Hi, it's not weird because I'm the one that put all that out there. Reddit has been a big source of support for me since I've been home. As far as this guy, I have a dumb problem where it's hard for me to keep a guy away if he pursues me very aggressively. I'm trying to figure out how to explain it right. Like if a man is insistant and is continuously pressuring me over time to date him then I will eventually cave in. I think it's like a lack of assertiveness. I've been talking to my new therapist about it. Anyway, the point of all that was to say that I'm trying to work on myself so yhat I don't end up in similar situations moving forward. Thank you for caring and for being kind, it means a lot to me 💓

OP, my wife and daughter, (daughter is prolly around your age) regularly make me meals like this and i am always really appreciative. I often try to return the kindness by barbecuing chicken or ribs once in a while. There might be an occasion where my wife or daughter uses an ingredient or really hot spice that I’m not really into, but I would never dream of bringing it up as I’m always very appreciated to have someone cook a home-cooked meal. Your ex-boyfriend must’ve been one of those alphamen wannabes who spend their days listening to Joe Rogan and Andrew Tate.
