awww I'm sorry, user. It does look really good. You probably could have saved some of it though. That is a ton of lemon but maybe washing some of it off would have been alright.
Cooking takes a decent amount of time to pick up and it's just about learning what works and doesn't work.

How many lemons did you use? How much chicken? You could have added some honey or sth to balance the acidity

This is wholesome. Keep at it femanon

Potatoes look underdone too, could just be the lighting though. Anyway keep at it, cooking is a learned skill. You'll be making tasty food in no time.

I boiled the potatos first and then added them in the skillet

Don't worry OP, practically everybody messes up a meal the first time they cook it. It sucks to waste the money but it's so much better the next time. When I was learning to cook, I used to buy double what I needed so I could cook the same thing again and make sure I got it right the second time!

>God bless you for trying
This is where you call your mom and berate her for not teaching you proper homemaking at the ripe age of 5, and instead leaving you to wait until you're desperate and in your 20s, frantically searching for a skill to impress a future husband, which you have to do alone in front of a monitor, scanning Google search results like a DIY page composed of JS/HTML/CSS is going to make up for the gaping maternal absence that should have been in your life.

Now do it again properly

Whoa there buddy!
Who hurt you?
You can't say that to a female on our safe board. I don't want to hear you mansplain ever again!
I mean, this is the first time i heard this kind of verbal abuse on /tumblr/.

I'm going to treat you like that twitch streamer treated his wife.

Start with something easy like a casserole. It looks like you wanted to start out with something fancy, but that's not how you learn to cook. Learn to cook with easy homey dishes. This gains you confidence, and the simplicity is a good starting template for getting acquainted with flavors, cooking times, proportions, that sort of thing.
Literally do this:
>buy a 9x13 casserole dish
>buy chicken thighs
>buy one can of condensed mushroom soup and one can of condensed chicken soup
>buy rice
>with two cups of water from each condensed soup can and two cups of rice, stir it into the casserole dish, and then place the eight thighs into the soupy ricey mixture, sinking the thighs to the bottom.
>cover with aluminum foil and put it oven to bake at 350 for two hours.
>take out and eat.
You'll be amazed at how delicious it is. Start with casseroles and soups, darling. Not with the fancy stuff.

I forgot to mention the one package of lipton onion soup mix. Add that as well before you stir.

>be me, femanon

There's your fucking problem. Women aren't meant to be competent at mostly anything. There is a clear reason why female are cooks and not chefs, nurses and not doctors, paralegal and not attorneys, maids and not janitors.
I can go on.

For now, stick to cooking basic sandwiches, frozen foods, and microwaved eggs.
The fuck happened to this fucking place? Everyone offering sympathies for this roastie whore and not telling her tits or gtfo.
Beta cuck orbitors, all of you gtfo.

pls be my cooking gf and ill be your food tester

why would you do this user
you're scaring the children

sweet potato - normal 50-50 mash is gr8
also use citrus always just after to give taste. u dont add it str8 to food u nip it there

If you can make decent meatloaf then marry me.

If it tastes bitter, then it doesn't have enough lemon. There's no reason for lemon to taste bitter.

just learn how to cook proper and you'll be able to troubleshoot and innovate better

>be me femanon
WHY IS THIS RELEVANT

>femanon
>can't even cook

Just another worthless slag who's only value is a cocksleeve

Cooking takes some practice. As someone said the potatos dont look done. Look up the mustard potato recipe that goes in the over, its nice. Also frying broccoli in oil with some seasoning. The go lighter on the lemon and youll have an amazing meal.

God job fembot.

I know how disappointing it can be to have a recipe not work out, but if it's any consolation, I tried breading and pan frying beets last night for a potluck.

They were absolutely terrible lol

>it does look really good
i lol'd

>be me
>don't know how to cook
>buy cookbook
>cook first dish
>its really fucking good and I eat it for the next 3 days
Fuck you just follow directions its not that hard uwu

Looks great to me
I like lemon juice

I like lemon juice too, also garlic and ginger, but all three of those things you have to meter or it tastes either bland or reeeeally nasty due to strength.

>be me femanon

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Fucking end yourself.

lol the replies are even funnier

>be dipshit that likes to bake
>a friend trades me for some pot butter
>made M&M cookies this morning with it
>Ate two
>Fuck, it's too powerful
>Breathing is significantly harder
>Feel like there's a walrus on my chest
>Can't stand up either

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

would have responded the same way if they were a robot

If you can't do basic chicken and potatoes right even with a recipe in front of you, you're too fucking stupid to use a stove unsupervised. If you cry to Jow Forums about it, you're useless beyond help. Kill yourself now, retarded bitch.

what does your reply even mean exactly?

>>everything tastes too bitter
And that's what being an adult is all about.

It means I'm going to cum on your food when you aren't paying attention and watch you eat it. I hope you don't eat in your cafeteria.

Just keep cooking. Practice and diligence. I started cooking a few months back and all my stuff was shit and I'd be embarrassed to have somebody eat it. Now I'm cooking for myself nearly every single meal every day and love it more than anything store bought and would feel comfortable serving it to people.

lol i imagine your face while you write this shit.
You must have such a colourful life indeed..

The white part of the lemon and the seeds will become bitter it cooked too long. You can either just use lemon zest and squeeze the juice needed, or remove the lemons from the pan before they turn bitter.

>tfw cooking my whole family's christmas dinner alone
I'm terrified
