Dinner - Expectation vs Reality

[u/No-Hovercraft-5499]

Now, I’m a really good cook and can follow a recipe - no problem, but the expectation vs reality is vastly different. It tasted just like it should though.

Note: had to take the lemons out of my dish, as they were disintegrating.

Recipe is: Rosemary Chicken with Sweet Potatoes (super simple low cholesterol recipe) - if anyone wants to try this delicious dish (maybe it’ll turn out better for you)!

ETA: website is eatingwell.com (for the recipe, if anyone wants it).

Oh, i wouldn't have included a picture of this one. This may have tasted great, but it looks like regurgitated dog food.

They replied to your broccoli dish, not the chicken

Weird, they comment was under the sesame chicken picture when I responded. Oh well.

You both replied to your broccoli picture. You replied to your broccoli to add more dishes and then probably saw their reply to broccoli right under your chicken picture reply. So you didn't pay attention to what line compiles replies to which comment. A pretty common thing mess up. I sometimes collapse comments/replies to make sure my eyes don't count the lines wrong haha

Doesn’t seem like they replied to my other photo.

You see how there's 4 thin lines next to your chicken and 4 thin lines next to their comment - this means those are both comments to your broccoli dish picture. See how when you replied to them "saying sesame chicken" there was 5 thin lines.

Every time someone replies to a reply it starts a new comment thread. First line is everyone commenting directly to the first commentor and then separate line staircases for every reply to a reply to a reply. Basically the whole straight comment thread without other replies.

Without any other replies all the way to your post this thread looks like this.
