An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

My oldest (M11) loves it, while my youngest (M9) couldn’t be more grossed out by it.

If I had to guess, that’s exactly how my youngest probably feels about it. 😂

My daughter's 14. We've given up trying to get her to eat anything we cook without asking her if she'll eat it first.

At that age, you could be teaching her to prepare her own meals. I love to cook and I started sometimes cooking separate meals for myself around that age.

We are. It's more a matter of getting her to do it.

I agree, but it’s the clean up after that had me cook it for years.

I find that any recipe with tuna that I sort of liked, I loved when I replaced it with chicken. Maybe the younger one is the same?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

my mom often made tuna hotdish with chicken (or turkey) instead. subbing-in cream of chicken for the cream of mushroom. since no one but me and mom would eat it with the mushroom soup, it was 'better' for us that way, i guess. the 'real thing' was usually reserved for when it was just us two.

Good idea. I’ll try it next time.

Oh man I feel your pain! I have two picky eaters at home and they have very different tastes.

We made tuna melts ourselves tonight, the 2 year old cleaned his plate which is unusual around here.

The recipe I grew up with was effectively baked kraft mac'n cheese with cream of mushroom/celery soup and tuna.

Bonus points for some crushed potato chips on top.
