My cousin looked at my pot of beans and said 'that's it?' like I was feeding him dirt
Happened at my place last Sunday. I had a big pot of pinto beans going with some onion, garlic, and a ham hock I got for like $2.50. He comes over, lifts the lid, and just goes 'that's it? No meat or anything?' I told him the ham hock *was* the meat, and the whole pot cost maybe four bucks to feed four people. He just shook his head and got takeout. I felt kinda dumb, like my cooking wasn't good enough. But it's tasty and it fills you up. Does anyone else get weird comments when you cook simple, cheap food for people?

Honestly used to be that guy, always expecting a steak or something fancy. Then I had a rough month where my car broke down and my budget was beans and rice, literally. Ate a lot of pinto beans with a little sausage. You realize how good and filling it is, and how much flavor you can get from just a ham bone or some spices. Your cousin just doesn't get it yet, but that pot of beans sounds perfect.

Yeah but sometimes a steak is just a steak lol. Not everything has to be a life lesson, some people just like good food.
