That would really piss me off.

But isn't all this moot since she also doesn't like the smell of my pot roast? (I think I make it like everyone does...)

Short answer: You can't cook ******.
Long answer: Your roommate's racist and you need to bitch slap her and pimp her out so you can eat out every night.

Wait wait, you have a female roomate and your cooking. Tell that bitch to get in the kitchen and cook you your food.

hmm perhaps she's not a fan of the way you cook meat. we know roast duck wasn't raised on some free range farm, fed only vegetarian chicken feed.

but it's soooooooo freaking good. ohhhhh roast pork...

 

[monk3y]

She is definately overreacting.

Whenever my chinese colleague nuked his lunch, the whole lab smelt really really bad... So may be its not you 😛

Chinese food is good. It doesn't smell bad. IT should be good. IF you're using FISH SAUCE, stop. That's not real Chinese food. People who use FISH SAUCE should be SLAPPED

 

[MikeMike]

wtf, you live with a chick?

:disgust: Maybe you should be slapped
Fish sauce is used in southeast asian food. Also Vietnamese Food >>> Chinese Food.

Not at all, I think that all of that should smell just fine.

You may want to set up a deal with your roomie, like an every-other-day sort of thing.

Yeah... definitely tidier than a guy, but a lot pissier.

 

[IGBT]

..give her a dose of something special. Like dried squid steam cooked. Gawd I love that stuff but what a powerful aroma.

 

[gotsmack]

Asian food seems to linger in the air longer then European foods, and while I like to eat traditional foods I don't want the whole house to smell like it.

also if you're making wontons with that vegetable that looks like a cross between a scallion and a long blade of grass, stop, it stinks.

does febreeze even do anything for odor? All it seems to do is just overlay another odor on top of it. You should get her to eat something other than frozen foods, something that involves cooking and we'll see if her cooking doesn't smell.

tell her to :

:music😛ut it in yo mouth, in dat m.... mouth:music:

how about u give her some money and let her cook for you so u dont cook all the time?

1. Rice - regular white rice in a rice cooker, 50/50 long/short grain mix

Can't see a problem here.

2. Boiled meats in pot or pressure cooker. Sometimes meats like oxtail and tongue.
Water + Rice Wine + Soy Sauce + Ginger + Green Onions + Meat -> boil until tender and eat with rice
- is this dish weird? My parents cooked this way all the time. It's plain and simple but filling.

Weird is all in perspective. There is potential for this to smell pretty overpowering though.

3. Pot Roast.
Chuck + Water + Potatoes + Carrots + Onion Powder + Paprika + French Onion Soup -> Crock Pot 10 hrs or pressure cooker 1hr.
- can this smell bad?

This is almost certainly your culprit. If it's a small house or unit then 10 hours of cooking *anything*, no matter how good it smells, is going to completely fill the house. Even if it's not inherently offensive it will annoy most people for territorial reasons - it's like playing your music really loud : even if your roommates like your music it will annoy them if you do it all the time. It's an 'in your face' type thing.

5. Reheated meats in the microwave from the Asian grocery store like roast pork and roast duck.

I'll assume you cover them when reheating them rather than splattering them all over the microwave.
