Wasted Pancakes

hello abmacasinag...the psychoartist is deeply troubled because of your situation...first of all, i feel you have been grievously disrespectful to your grandmother and that is a shame and a disgrace...you have also been unkind and disrespectful to your househelper...suppose you were the househelper and she was the rude and impolite young lady that you appear to be, how would you feel...perhaps you should learn to cook your own food or go without...how would it be if you were homeless or very poor with no home, no food, no family, no one to cook for you...perhaps you should think about these things and be thankful...and finally, i feel that it is no valid threat for you to complain, eat in your room and stay in your room for the rest of the day: it is probable that the household was relieved and happy not to have to see you or deal with your shennanigans and have some peace...if you were my daughter or granddaughter, which i am sure both you and i are glad that you are not, i would be ashamed of your behavior and attitude...

Sorry to hear that, seriously i love pancakes too. :) I saw that you live in the Philippines. Well i do live in Philippines too kababayan :) Why don't go treat yourself then to Pancake House? They offer one of the delicious pancakes in the Philippines. Also you are 30? You should cook your own pancakes maybe your helpers was not used to cooked pancakes before so thats why he overcooked it. Just my 2 cents ;)

Oh!!, be relaxes and try it yourself and serve to grandmother! It happens sometime and we already set our mind and something happens opposite to it, we feel irritated. As it happened from your grandma, just forget and you will get it nicely for the next time....

Come on.. there's nothing to be hurt when 'your' grandmother says like that. It would be a better habit to not find fault in food cooked by others if you can't cook them. I'm sorry, but my mother keeps saying this and I understand that it's true,, after a long while. But it depends on your surroundings and living conditions..

How old are you? Helper? If you dont like how someone else cooks for you then do it yourself. I like most of my food cooked a certain way so I perfer for me to cook it. I have never heard of a helper before here in Canada most who are lazy get a helper or nanny to do all their work for them. I usually cook my pancakes in a frying pan with butter or oil. I perfer to put a layer of butter on it when I put it on the plate. Maybe, next time you can tell her how you perfer it not everyone likes it your way and they cant read your mind.

Is this a serious Discussion, abmacasinag? This has to be a joke. Surely no one would be so disrespectful of someone as this. How does your grandmother's helper's 'tactless' words hurt you? She wasn't being tactless. This is what is known as honesty. Truth. I see on your profile that you say you are 30 years old. That is why I know this is a joke. No 30 year old woman would be so petty as this. Indeed, you should have fixed your own pancakes. That is how I know you are joking about this because no adult would post something so demeaning about themselves as this. Good for you!! You got me with this crazy joke. Hahahaha Such a kidder!!

Hello abmacasinag. I would expect this kid of behavior from a ten or eleven year not a grown woman. I see that you are thirty years old. are you helpless. You should be doing your own cooking and not expecting your house helper or grandmother to do it for you. If you don't like the way the helper is cooking your pancakes then do it yourself or at east show her how you want them cooked. Your grandmother is right. My 16 and 17 year old granddaughters cook their own breakfast. I can't believe you are pouting in your room. That is shameful for a woman your age.

There are any ways to prepare pancake. In my hometown, pancake is seldom added oil, while in Southern part of China, many people like cooked it in oil. If you think the pancake is too oil for you, you can cut it into pieces and added these pieces into soup, so that a soup pancake is not oil enough, you can just the soup with your taste, so there is no waste.

Well, audrey, i think you should have supervised your helper instead in cooking them. Or you should have told her to wait for you to awaken, before she proceeds in cooking the pancake. Actually, at home, i don't ever delegate the cooking of the pancakes. I would always do it myself, to ensure that it is nicely done and paired with a nicely done hotdogs. Sad, that it was that way with those pancakes. Maybe next time, make sure that you are there when it's being cooked by the helper.

Well maybe, just maybe if they did not come out the way you like them, then you should have gotten up and made your own. I would have. Sometimes having someone else cook something for you is not the way to go. When I am in a mood for something special that I know how to make, I just do it myself. And if they come out bad there is no one but myself to blame.

Oh.. that's so frustrating to hear. I, too can experience this at times. And I also do that.. whenever, I am hurt by the words thrown by mom.. I usually stay at my bed and sleep their as much as I could. I think it's the first time of your helper to cook pancakes. You should have ask him/her first if he/she can do it. Anyway, cheer up Abmacasinag.. you can have another one for the next day or week.. Just be patient..
