Love: Today, I made chicken noodle soup for the girl I've been seeing...

Today, I made chicken noodle soup for the girl I've been seeing to help her get over her cold. From scratch. Everything fresh save for the canned chicken stock. It took an hour in preparation and half an hour to take the bus to her place. Her first words? The celery's not cooked enough. FML

Today, I was sick with the flu so my boyfriend announced that he would make me some chicken soup. It was touching until I stumbled to the kitchen and found out that his "chicken soup" was actually leftover KFC bones boiled in water. FML

Classic brain fart

Today, I lovingly simmered a chicken carcass, vegetables and spices to make soup. Two hours it took. After all that, I mindlessly strained out the chicken bones and let the soup pour straight down the sink. FML

Today, I was miserable with a cold. So I ordered soup and noodles from a new Chinese restaurant. Now I am miserable with a cold and food poisoning. FML

Kitchen nightmare

By McDonald's it is then - 30/05/2023 10:00

Today, getting tired of my usual turkey/tuna salad/chicken sandwiches, I made a pot of soup to take to work for lunch. My girlfriend woke up in the middle of the night to forage for snacks, spilled it all over the floor, and woke me up to clean it. FML

Today, I made a healthy, delicious dinner. My girlfriend picked at it until it went cold, then stuck it in the fridge. Later, she devoured a giant bowl of sugary cereal, then complained all night that her stomach hurt. This happens a lot. FML

Kitchen daydream

By Rordon Gamsey - 02/08/2022 16:00

Today, I was "that idiot" who spent ages making a soup stock from meat and vegetables, but then while separating it forgot to put a pan under the strainer, so I poured the finished stock down the sink, leaving me with only the boiled meat and veg sat sadly in the strainer. Takeaway chinese for tea, then. FML

Today, I was in bed sick from pneumonia. I asked my boyfriend to nuke a can of soup for me. He said "in a sec, let me finish this game" and continued to play on his Xbox for an hour. Starving, I crawled out to make soup. When I sat down to eat, he paused the game and asked "you didn't make me any?" FML

Just eat it

By salt bomb - 02/03/2023 07:00 - United States

Today, I spent all day carefully preparing a wonderful homemade beef and vegetable stew from scratch. Close to dinner time, I tasted it and it was inedibly salty. Confused, my horrifically bratty stepdaughter then laughed and admitted she poured salt in it because it wasn’t what she wanted for dinner. FML

The best laid plans…

Today, I decided to surprise my girlfriend by cooking her dinner. I spent hours preparing and making sure everything was perfect. I lit candles, set the table, and even put on some soft music. When she came home, she'd already eaten and wasn't hungry. FML

Today, my boyfriend made me breakfast because I had a cold. Because my nose was so stuffed, I couldn't tell that our milk had gone bad. I had two cups. And now I'm stuck on the toilet. FML

Apologising for another post, but I just reread the FML. You only cooked it for one hour? Are you kidding me? You need to keep it on simmer for a while before the flavour is absorbed alone. The celery is the least of your problems, dude. I'm thinking YDI, now. It's nice to do something thoughtful, but do it right.

Haha #25. He said it wasn't cooked enough. You probably didn't do a very good job. If you're gonna do something do it properly.

@8 "She should have thanked her lucky stars that her boyfriend wasn't going over there to ask for a ******** or something..." So that's something to expect from guys these days, and to be grateful when it doesn't happen?

What's with all of these guys dating bitchy women? And better yet, what's with all these guys bitching about the women that they choose to date? First the edible arrangement and now chicken noodle soup.

You cant have crunchy celery in soup. If you did spend so much time to cook the chicken noodle soup from scratch, you could have at least took a few seconds to taste it and make sure the soup was ok.

I've made chicken noodle soup from scratch and it does take quite a bit of time to make. Yes, it is incredibly sweet that you did this. No doubt about it. I don't know any guys that would even come by and visit me if I was sick, let alone call. But, I'm guessing she probably DID say thank you when you walked in, because usually when you knock on someone's door, the person answering doesn't look to see what you got them, and if its food, greedily eat it. Plus, sick people are a little cranky and most of the time, things won't taste right anyway. I was totally waiting for the punchline of this FML to be she's vegetarian. Was I the only one?
