I came here to point this out. Could be a good or bad, sign, I guess — but impressive either way
I hope she didn’t laugh— even though it’s a college kid’s kind of dinner, he put a lot of time into it.
I would have laughed my ass off, but then I’d add a goldfish standing up in the middle like it was their god, then I’d high five him.
He's not the messiah!
Goldfish Messiah 😘 🤌
Goldssiah o<
is that a little duck quackin o<
It's one aye and a fishmouth 🌝
o<>o bleep bloop the front angle of the fish
Where's your messiah now, Goldfish?! Nyeh!
He’s a very naughty boy.
He’s a very naughty boy!
Very naughty Koi?
A throne out of toothpicks making it game of thrones themed.
My fish, you bow to no one.
The only thing he wants to hear clapping is those cheeks.
College kid? I've been out a decade and want this recipe!
You’re in your 30’s and need a recipe to tell you how to place goldfish on top of Mac n cheese?
A college education isn't what it used to be, I guess
I'm in my 30s, looked up a recipe for mac and cheese, almost all of them were a lot more complex than I had imagined, having just used box mac and cheese most of my life.
He probably thought it was funny
It IS funny!
It’s also elegant
"college kid's type of dinner"?
I feel like this is another jab to being what an "adult" is supposed to be. Like, go make a casserole and a steak? Nah, mac n cheese is always good, and adding goldfish, especially in a nice pattern, is always cool no matter what age.
Right?
Shoot college kid food?.. I serve homemade Mac n Cheese ( the copy cat recipie from Mission BBQ) when we smoke brisket or ribs.
I think the difference is a college kid would make this as the meal rather than a side.
this took more time than just crushing the goldfish then spread the crumbs
If someone did this to/for me I'd struggle to not propose to them on the spot.
But we don't even know if they are flavor blasted or not. What if they are the whole grain ones? Lot of potential red flags here.
Whole grain ones will better suck up the grease from the cheese and become an incredibly crunchy top, they'd go pretty hard to be fair.
Nah, he just scattered them, then put some cheesebait in the center.
Dude put so much effort into the careful goldfish arrangement...poor guy.
I think the way she went about taking the photos it looked like she appreciated it
Yeah 😅 simple comfort food mac n chee aside, it's kind of adorable tbh
would it be any more appealing if the focus was centered?
I mean … my wife burns water so … I’d take that as a win
Talent of the gods
Her arrival was foretold.
Oh god, the elders were right
As it was written in the scrolls.
The only thing, and I mean the only thing my wife ever tried to prepare in the kitchen was Jell-O. She added too much water and I had to boil it out. That was that
If you ever need some time, like me time. Ask her to prepare you some dulche de leche.
You don't just dump a can of condensed milk in water and leave it for 3 hours? No need to attend it
No you don’t. You spend 8h churning milk and sugar.
Please tell me you use a machine for this
I hate to ruin the joke, but do it sous vide and it is literally that
Feel like I should cover my bases, but usually it takes longer and you are better either rebottling it or letting it go longer.
As someone whos been cooking for themselves since 10 , how tf do you burn water ☠️
try having someone make you a hard boil egg but forget about it so the water evaporates into the pot while the egg is cooking. That's how you burn water and ruin the pot.
Our friends mom did this on Easter once really early in the morning. The eggs started exploding in the pot. It was such a mess.
A friend of mine tried making Top Ramen, forgot about it, all the liquid boiled out, and he only noticed when the noodles started burning.
I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't arrive at his place just after it happened.
Hey my wife managed to burn air! Well the pot she was cooking it in but still technically the pot had air in it.
I’m waiting until our kid actively complains if my wife cooks and requests me so I can give a stare of kitchen dominance
Let us know when she evolves into turning water into liquor
I’m sure he’ll have no trouble finding someone else. Plenty of fish in the sea.
Not anymore. They're all on the mac and cheese.
Plenty of fish in the cheese
Some people have no vision for potential. Imagine this guy cooking for your kids. Amazing husband material.
Well, she took pictures so that’s a good sign
She doesn't exist. Someone stole someone else's pictures and made a fake Twitter post.
I think he doesn’t exist either. This pic has white woman insta post all over it. Then it was picked up by another poster for the lols.
Just dropping this here for your enjoyment:
You don’t exist. Someone stole someone else’s bot and made it fake sentient.
Hey, maybe she meant this as a positive thing, lol.
I couldn't tell from the text whether she was dissing him or praising him. I hope she was smart enough to praise him.
This assumes he isn’t a serial killer
What if they don’t want kids?
Tell your parents to ask their own questions!
Well that was just uncalled for. Funny as shit but goddamn bro
Savage bro. Wish I had good comebacks like that when I needed the most.
This was made with love. And i mean cmon. Its gourmet mac and cheese.
Served with only the fanciest Dijon ketchups!
[Rare case where I'm not sure whether the downvotes came from Boomers or Gen Z.]
[Edit2: Nevermind, the Millennial cavalry arrived.]
What do you have, a million dollars?!
Haven't you always wanted a monkey?
They have pre-wrapped sausages but they don’t have pre-wrapped bacon.
GenX here. Got your back.
Aww, thanks. I feel like I owe you a llama or an emu or something.
Looks like he wants to skip dating and go right into marriage.
This is a killer first date. It’s completely memorable in an innocent and whimsical way.
Edit: Some of you took this pretty seriously.
Inviting someone over for homemade dinner on a first date is unusually aggressive. Most women should turn that down considering the guy is a complete stranger.
It doesn't say it's a first date.
I know. I was replying to someone saying it's a good idea for a first date.
That's a keeper.
Marry him.
I say this as a person who is lactose intolerant.
If she doesn't, I will. I say that as a straight married man. Mac and cheese will be the end of me...
Back off, bitch. He’s mine.
We can all share him. There's plenty of that Mac n cheese to go around. That being said, you can have my sloppy seconds.
I'm also signing up for the timeshare
And women say they want a guy that puts in the effort. To arrange those…
He's a keeper. Look at the symmetry! Plus... bros got taste. Homemade Mac N Cheese 😋
With a goldfish crust!! Oh my yum!
The goldfish is the real chefs kiss here.
For real. And crispy, cheesy goldfish are you serious?! That's a man to keep.
Hol' up. Let him cook...
Should fuckin' marry the guy.
Yeah, if she don't want him I'll take him! 😂
You can take him, but I'm taking the mac & cheese.
😂
Yeah!
I’ll take him if you don’t want him and I’m not even a gay man
Presumably neither is she.
Get your straight ass away from him. My bisexual self wants goldfish mac and cheese
No way! Our bromance will flourish with each bite of goldfish mac and cheese!
Guess she doesn't like fish.
I can't bear to eat these beautiful things
Right? It’s art and I would be heartbroken to cut into it
Did she say thanks for all the fish when she left?
I make homemade Mac n cheese, but never thought of goldfish cracker topping! And look how carefully he laid down each cracker. I mean, if you don’t appreciate this, you may be an a-hole.
Man you single people are the bravest souls on the planet! I salute you and your efforts to smash pelvises.
I am legit impressed by the way each goldfish is painstakingly laid out perfectly.
He aligned the fish he meticulously put each fish carefully. If this not dedication I don’t know what is.
And Gabriella is dumb if she let him escape.
You guys can have this dish when the kids leave the house and you’re retired. I believe this dish is called on Golden Pond.
Saw this on r/stupidfood a few times
People just don’t understand the beauty of this masterpiece
Ok… but did it taste good… that’s the real question because jeez they could put processed cheese slices all over it if they work some magic to make it taste actually amazing then I’d keep my trap shut since it will be full of food
Absolute dedication, imagine how long it took to lay every single fish out in line
he's the one, detail oriented I see
Marriage material. Hope she gave him a BJ
Looks like true love.
Maybe he’s saying there’s plenty of fish out there
Mans a whole 5 star chef
Marry that dude
I would eat that shit up, idk wtf you talkin about
made with love and dedication. put a ring on it
The uniformity is beautiful
This man is a keeper.
He has put tought and dilligence in cooking for you, that shows his dedication.
I want the recipe. And a girl that would appreciate it.
Husband material ✅
Can’t tell if OP likes this or not.
If OP didn’t put out that night. Straight to jail.
Some people have no appreciation for anything
If I went over to a dude's house and he pulled this out of the oven, I might just turn gay on the spot.
Wait holy shit, that's actually so much effort, he oriented each goldfish
I wouldn’t be mad
Wife him
he's a keeper
He’s unhinged.
No, I think he's on-Hinge
Then he 2 snacks that smiled back after that huh?
The dedication.
Looks tasty to me
When’s the wedding?
and you took pictures of it… because you were impressed
marry him!
He sounds like an amazing guy. 😄 wow!
Bro I have to try this
I’m sure Gabriella’s gesture was more grand and impressive 😅
Hand placed every single one
That's kinda awesome. What's wrong with that?
Stealing this idea
Honestly this sounds so good for comfort food I’d be so happy
If they didn't get married there's really no justice in the world
Yo, that sounds bitchin. I'm down if she ain't.
Better keep that mf.
But how did it taste?
There are plenty of fish in the sea.
This is perfect 😊 he put so much thought and care into it 😊
First date this dude makes Mac and cheese with goldfish crackers? He’s a keeper!
YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?!
This was some serious effort.
At least he tried. Meanwhile, she did absolutely nothing for him other than show up. She has no right to judge.
Man I FUCKING WISH a girl would make me Mac n cheese with goldfish bread crumbs.
They met on hinge, but he used plenty of fish
He made an effort with that. Appreciate!
Is Hinge guerilla-marketing through memes and funny tweets or has it really replaced Tinder and if so, why?
That looks amazing 🤩
I’d be smitten
Fuck👏ing👏marry👏him👏now👏
I'll Mary him.
It must have taken him a long time to arrange the goldfish. He's a patient man
Ya this guy cares about wanting to know you. He’d be a brave/stupid man to think he’s going into a one night stand with some dairy heavy Mac and cheese
Girl, marry him
Based on the direction of the fish, he thinks the center of the Mac and cheese is the best part. Oh no, no big red flag. The crispy edges are the best, so the fish should be pointing out.
It’s quite adorable
A man with enough patience to line up that many goldfish perfectly, has enough patience to deal with me. 😅😍 endgame right there.
The perfect man doesn't exi...
I would be in bed with him in a heartbeat.
He must of thought she was special to take all that time. Though her post is rather neutral in the tone. I can't tell if she is making fun of him or impressed. I think it was a sweet gesture and she didn't take the time to appreciate what he did.
I honestly love it way more then I should, it's so cute and took a lot of time.
As someone whose favorite meal is homemade Mac n cheese, I am appalled and disappointed in myself for never thinking of this before... I am unworthy
I better not be hearing a tone of ungratefulness here...
Delicious red flag
If anyone takes their time to cook for you be glad
Win
Wait, hold on, why does that actually sound amazing? Mac and cheese with crunchy cheese? Yes, immediately, give me now.
Thats sweet, took him a lot of time doing that, he is a keeper
The dedication!!!
I want a bf like this omg we would have so much fun together
Time and love clearly went into that.
How was the sex?
He clearly took a lot of time to lay out each fish
