my mom tenderized and it had a nice crust, just pan seared
my dad would use the spine side of the knife to tenderize, i do too, it's easier to clean up (bits of pork get stuck in the mallet), but i do have a mallet, i think i did a few chops for a party once and thats when the mallet is easier

Most gen x and younger white women I know either say they don't like to cook or profess a love for cooking but do everything in an instant pot (meaning they obviously hate to cook). And they're uppity as hell about it when men like me are better cooks and more passionate about it. It's kinda sad, really. But I mean they all wish they were wealthy, but can't all be serial killers. Don't like to cook is becoming the norm with normies.

We never had liver and onions growing up, think it was due to my mom not liking it, so it was never on the menu. I think I've only ever had it once in my life at a greasy spoon diner just to try it. It wasn't bad but I haven't ever had it again.

is this restaurant food the kid refuses to eat or his cooked food?
maybe your brother sucks at cooking
i cooked for 2 kids on thxgiving, basic breakfast sausage and eggs. mom said they don't like eggs, i said they'll like my eggs, she said they only eat scambled eggs, i hate scrambled but made em anyway.
they gobbled the eggs up
secret was cooking it in sausage grease, kids don't need to care about cholesterol

I didn't grow up with overcooked meat thankfully but I did grow up eating vegetables out of cans. I ate very little pork growing up because our beef and chicken was "free" so buying pork seemed extravagant. Funny thing is I actually liked liver and onions growing up, but I tried it recently for the first time in years and could barely choke it down. Best use for liver is dog treats.
My brother is like a lot of us here, disciple of Alton Brown and Kenji Lopez-Alt etc. so no his cooking doesn't suck. His wife cooks very little like a lot of millennial women.

I think we're finally getting some clues into why your nephew is being parented into being a spaz (at best).
I love that you think the parenting is juuuust fine and the kid is just like that, instead of there being some very obvious red flags.
The millennial wife cooks very little... No biggie, sometimes wife's are just like that and have little interest in something as basic as providing sustanance (and indirectly love) for their families.
The kid is just like that. The wife is just like that. Let me guess, they've got a poorly behaved dog that also just happens to be a certain way and there's nothing to be done about it and it's totally normal because dogs are just like that.
And please understand I'm not just doing some boozecube troll job on you trying to get your goat. I'm honestly perplexed at it and your seeming belief it's totally normal. It's like the "this is fine" meme in real time.

i mean, i remember there was a time i hated chinese food, (particuarly fish, still to this day) yea i know right?
i'm pretty sure it has to do w/ my mom taking me to the gambling dens to play mahjong. (it's not really a gambling den, more like chinatown ymca w/ nothing but mahjong, why she didn't leave me home alone? i have no fucking idea, i wasn't 2, i was 10) now she'd play all day and at night they would bust out chinese dinner and always would have steamed chinese flounder, this was the most poignant smell, i probably associated that smell w/ my hatred of this gambling den and it lead to revulsion.
it took years for me to get over this, mainly b/c i'd visit home and my dad would make it and i'd just shove it down my throat. (note i haven't eaten it since my dad died and never will again) it is ironic that i make the same dish for my wife every month, cuz she loves steamed fish, i just won't eat it.

Liver and onions can be good, but it needs to be fresh liver, rinsed so many times that the water is clear (all blood out of liver), then sliced thin and not overcooked. The person making it really has to know what they're doing or you end up eating rubber that tastes like iron.

I don’t like cooking, but I still do it. Nothing fancy and I’m certainly not good at it, but husband seems to be happy and gobbles most of the shit I make down, so can’t be that bad I guess? Yesterday, made some cheesy potato soup that we have a few days worth of leftovers of. Some diced Yukon golds, onion, chicken broth, cream and some bacon, and some ground beef because he always wants ground beef. Topped with some crushed up taco shells I had around and some Hawaiian rolls for dipping. Tasty shit. I just wish cooking and cleaning up didn’t take so long. I got other shit I want to do.

I'm sorry my dude, but that's a crap take on this. My wife loathes cooking, but she'll do it if she has to. I love cooking, and I do almost all of it. My wife likes cleaning up afterward, so she does most of it. It's all about a family drawing good lines of who does what, but with flexibility to support each other. You can't say that because a woman doesn't cook she doesn't love her family.
On another note relevant in this thread right now the best thing to do with liver is to make pate. However, liver cooked well can be amazing. One of the restaurants I worked in had a liver dish, and it was delicious. But yeah, I have nightmares about the rubber liver and onions my mom used to cook.

I'm definitely not engaging with this nonsense, in the cooking thread of all places, but on the off chance that you're actually sincere, let me just say....
Go fuck yourself you fucking weirdo.

Feel free to look back at the overall context of the situation I'm commenting on. Have thoughts on the overall situation, not just a single point you're responding to?
And sorry, women who loathe cooking have a deficiency. Doesn't mean that alone is necessarily a critical issue, but it's a red flag. And of course a family figuring out what works for them is important, the problem I'm boggling at is a food/meal related family situation with a lot of reported dysfunction and red flags and the attitude it was presented with as just being perfectly normal.
And I didn't say because a woman doesn't cook she doesn't love her family, I was saying it's a red flag and not normal for a woman to have little interest in something as fundamental and nurturing as providing meals for her family.

Not engaging in my repeated questions and requests to clarify whatever points you think you're making, because this isn't the right forum to discuss food/meal related issues that are being discussed, but then also you are actually going to engage after all with a childish outburst of personal attacks.

Mac and cheese was very common, both for poor kids getting boxed stuff and real homemade stuff its ubiquitous. Liver and onions is very old fashioned and not at all common. My mom even liked liver and onions and I only remember even seeing it once as a kid and she wasn't making it at home but someone else in a large group we were with was ordering it. Every 80+ year old man I know loves the shit, though, which is how you know it's typically gross.

LOL my mom made the shit. I actually liked liver and onions. It had to be calves liver and she soaked it in milk for hours before cooking it. It wasnt like a weekly thing or even monthly, but more like 2-3 times a year. She also made a great tripe soup for the holidays. Old fashioned Polish recipe passed down for generations. I still love the stuff. The house smelled like shit while she was boiling it, but was it worth it in the end. Gotta keep in mind it was Communist Poland we came from. Food was scarce so you cook what you could find.
