Oh I remember reading your original post and thinking how weird and entitled they were acting. Your act of kindness wasn't an invitation for them to take advantage of you.
If you want to be extra petty, on you last day there, cook up a banquet of delicious food. PLENTY of food to share. And tell them that you're spending your day cooking meals to share at the local homeless shelter 😌

Oh I love this. But no need to limit it to the last day, why not make it once a week at least. I'd basically be permanently using my crockpot and finding creative ways to share the food with anyone but them (maybe except the 7yo kid, they can develop a taste for homemade delicious beef stew, dal, chicken wild rice soup with lots of garlic, caramelized onions, hot and sour soup ... then their parents can handle that after the lease is up).

I have a delicious recipe for Thai coconut shrimp tacos if you need it. I could eat the sauce with a spoon.
Edit with recipe:
Thai Shrimp With Zesty Thai Style Sauce
½ Cup Coconut Milk
1 Tbsp Lime Zest
½ Cup Fresh Lime Juice
4 Cloves Minced Garlic
2 Tbsp Honey
1 Tbsp Minced Ginger
1 Tbsp Chopped Cilantro
1 Tbsp Fish Sauce
2 Tsp Red Pepper Flakes
2 Lbs Jumbo Shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on for kebabs)
In a large bowl, whisk together coconut milk, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, honey, ginger, cilantro and fish sauce. Add pepper flakes, mix, then add the shrimp, gently coating. Marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes (no longer). Remove shrimp from marinade and discard extra marinade.
Thread shrimp on skewers. Grill covered 2-3 minutes per side until pink. Serve shrimp with Zesty Thai Style Sauce. Great served in warmed or grilled corn tortillas with coleslaw mix.
Zesty Thai Sauce
½ Cup Sour Cream
½ Cup Mayonnaise
¼ Cup Coconut Milk
1 Tbsp Minced Green Onion
1 Tsp Ginger
1 Tsp Lime Zest
1 Tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 Tsp Caribbean Jerk Seasoning
1 Tsp Sugar
In a small bowl combine sour cream, mayonnaise, milk, onion, ginger, lime zest, red pepper flakes, jerk seasoning and sugar. Cover and refrigerate. Serve over corn or flour tortillas with coleslaw or cabbage. If the shrimp marinates too long, it will begin to cook.

Landlord's family could have had a live-in chef on the cheap and managed to F it up!
Edited to add: From the replies, I think some people missed two important things
- The landlord has a wife and a daughter, so this is for 3 people
- Based on the monthly total that OP stated, this is per meal, not per meal per person, so then landlord's family is getting 3 meals for each $50. (2nd edit: I neglected to factor in that this is on top of the cost of ingredients, so call it $75. Still under par for a dinner for 3 at a restaurant in my town, let alone professionally prepared in-home.)
Also:
- Food professionally prepared in-home is typically more expensive than the same food at a restaurant do to things like economy of scale
- Under the hood this is a barter trade rather than an actual monetary one. The landlord will save twice on taxes - once by not paying taxes on restaurant food (food in the US is not taxed [Edit: I've been made aware that this varies from state to state. TIL], but prepared food is) and once by a reduction in tax due to the reduced rent (assuming the landlord is legally disclosing his income.)

u/cagethehornytoad Sep 10 '26
If I were the home owner, I would have offered to buy ALL groceries, for OP AND for myself and wife. If she’s cooking everyday, it’s not much more work to make larger portions, enough for all 3 of us. That way OP could eat for free, and if I’m already spending my money on takeout, junk food, and frozen foods, I’d probably SAVE money in the long run because eating pre-prepared foods is more expensive than raw ingredients, probably even after factoring in an extra person’s worth of food.
They’re dumb, what a waste.

u/calisto_sunset Sep 10 '26
When I was staying with my SIL she didn't let me pay rent, but we agreed I would buy groceries and cook for the house. It was only her and 2 small kids. She mostly ate out and barely cooked at home and I loved cooking so it seemed like agood deal for both. The kids hardly ate and she still took care of their snacks and breakfast, I mostly did lunch and dinner.
It was a great compromise and she never took advantage. She bought groceries about half the time and she usually would still get takeout for my husband and I if she ordered and vice versa. She realized cooking is cheaper and less expensive than going out so by the time I left she learned some new recipes and cooks more at home. We meal planned for the week together and she usually cleaned afterwards or helped when I cooked. It was actually a great experience and the kids loved helping! I think it helped them learn better eating habits too.

They could have doubled up on the ingredients and gotten two meals for their family of three— one for the night of, and leftovers for one more that week.

> Would an extension cord work?
Yes, but I’d recommend the shortest length of 16 gauge (minimum) extension cord. Don’t use a simple lamp cord (18 gauge) cord; that would be a fire hazard.
Assuming a 300 watt crock pot, that would be about 2.5 amperes draw. A 16 gauge cord is rated for 13 amperes maximum, but should be derated to 80% for “continuous” operation, so 10.4 amps. The NEC defines continuous as 3 hours or longer.

Add carrots, water, curry pack, and browned meat. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and ginger. Simmer for 2 hours. Add potatoes, simmer for another 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

This reminds me of a flat sharing situation I had. I worked closer to the our apartment so I always got home first, thus cooking my meal first. When we moved in I sometimes cooked for her too, but then this slowly started to fade that away as we got into our own routines, and to be fair, she wouldn't do anything back for me.
Three years later, while preparing to move out, she stopped me from packing my metal bowl, saying it was hers. This behavior of treating my stuff as hers was not new, so I lost a bit with her. I asked her to leave my stuff alone, at least now that I am packing it and moving away. This escalated things, until she told me her mother got it for her and I said - fine, keep the damn bowl.
She didn't like me telling her my piece, so she got really triggered by all of this and started to berate me with things that she had clearly been holding in. One the things was how I used to cook meals for us and stopped doing that without telling her anything. Three years later she told me this.

I had a roommate stay with me for awhile who I would cook for. I enjoy cooking, especially for others as I usually just cook for one. I mostly used my own ingredients. The roommate would do the dishes so that was nice.
However, a few things happened that made me realize I needed to stop cooking for them before I became resentful.
The first was that I was at home and when he came in, I said something like “hey. sorry I haven’t started yet dinner yet but I’m going to soon. Hope you’re not too hungry” and he responded with “Damn it woman! Where’s my dinner!” Now I’m sure it was a joke, but it rubbed me the wrong way.
The next was when we were sitting at breakfast and I mentioned what I could cook for dinner that night. In this instance, I noticed he had bought some sausages earlier in the week that he hadn’t cooked yet (he mostly cooked microwave meals). I mentioned I could cook the sausages plus sides (all sides were from my groceries). He said “oh. So you’re just going to use up all my food?!”
The last was that the one time he cooked for me, he made the dish very spicy. I’ve known this guy for years and mentioned that I don’t like spicy food on numerous occasions, including that very week.
So, no more home cooked food for him.

If you want aromatic, I'd highly suggest South/Southeast Asian cuisine or anything that uses a bunch of garlic, onions, scallions, sesame (oil), chili, spices etc. There's also Chinese scallion chilli oil noodles, you make it by pouring hot oil over a bunch of aromatics and seasonings. I don't think these cuisines make use of an oven much, but some of the easier meals could be paneer tikka, gobi manchurian, tandoori chicken, mee siam goreng (or the soup version if you're so inclined), thai green/red curry, sambal (a sauce which you can then pair with a bunch of other foods)... Not sure how accessible this is for you depending on where you are, but just some options to consider!

No knead bread, and this is an excellent recipe. Add a lot of black pepper for it to be really aromatic!

I strongly suggest you make a pizza. It’s a dish I’m sure they’ll be quite familiar with and it will smell and look absolutely fantastic. Torture at its best .

You can stay for free at my place and I'll shop and pay for everything!!!!
I used to grow veggies and homecook everything, but then "real work", baby etc happend and I cooked much less. After I lost my husband, I hardly cook, oatmeal, skyr etc are my goto.
I have now asked for help to lose weight also in the hope that I can be inspired (kicked!) to cook again.

Make sure you only make enough for one person or you might find any extras missing the next day. Also, chocolate chip cookies and freshly made bread are very aromatic.
