How long does it keep once you make it?

I grew up eating garden tomatoes. Went to college, for the first time bought a grocery store tomato. Cut into it, tasted it… turned to my friend, what the fuck is this shit?

Real butter for things where you can taste it. Store brand for things where the other flavors are more overpowering and don’t really notice the butter.

I got a tortilla press and masa harina. I will not buy premade corn torillas again. Masa isn’t that expensive, add salt, water, mix, press, and cook on a dry pan (or super lightly oiled, i put a very light layer on mine since it’s cast iron)

So much tastier than store bought and better texture.

This is what I was going to say. Practice hills.

Practice taking off from being parked uphill.

Practice taking off from being stopped downhill.

People will park/pull up almost to your bumper and give you very little wiggle room.

Women are also fed lies that men don’t need emotional support. Also, women are told constantly that men don’t want to be friends with them and only want sex.

So there’s a good chance his friends that are women think he’s not having a hard time and/or he wants to sleep with them instead of talk.

I’m sorry OP that you are going through this. The advice to join an in person hobby or interest group is probably best. (To supplement your therapy)

Also, it’s also entirely possible, since it’s been 5 months, that everyone is overwhelmed with life and the world. I know I’ve not reached out as often to my friends the last 6 months (I’m stressed by country and the grief of losing my dad a few months ago.)

Also you say it seems like everyone is supporting your ex. Are they really? Or is she holding them hostage with her drama and steamrolling into their lives?

Someone, not a therapist, told me pain isn’t a competition. I don’t have to wait for my pain to be worse than the pain of the people around me before I go get help for myself.

In this case, I had physical pain I put off getting checked because it wasn’t worse than what why partner deals with daily. Turned out I needed antibiotics for a bad infection.

What are the ads for? Who’s paying for them? Is NY and fed buying these ads? Or a PAC? Or someone selling insurance?

Yes, all the time. What if something unwanted goes into my mouth while it’s undefended?

because I’m sometimes too literal, you mean a surveillance bug, not an insect bug?

She should dump him and get an EU man

For the better citizenship opportunities…

What’s really to keep states with ports from just taking over Customs, especially with doge firing and closing federal agencies? If the states control their ports they control what gets tagged for tariffs, or am I wrong?

No shit, Kim K would be an improvement over 99% of the current pics.

No, cause then Mike Johnson. And he is definitely gonna rename it to Gulf of Gilead.

Do you have some links to the California cases? Not doubting you, just curious about the details you came across.

The actual city sends a fine. If you don’t clean it, they send a crew. If you don’t pay for the crew, they lien the property.

Source: got letter from the city a week ago.

In fairness, I’ve been dealing with a lot and there were some areas that looked like we were abandoned. I’ve been meaning to clean out the unwanted stuff so the flowers can grow. My lawn is mostly moss and clover and that’s not what they cared about.

When we traveled out of the country for the 1st admin, we got treated with suspicion until we said truthfully we voted for the Democratic Party options.

To be clear: People were great until they (usually) guessed we were Canadian, then we’d get side-eye when they found out we weren’t.

The difference in land border crossing experience into Canada got more overall hostile the further into 2018-19.

We haven’t traveled like that since Covid. But I imagine voicing your distaste for fascism is required in polite circles now. Saying you voted Kamala and for the Dems is a good short-hand, even if you recognize they aren’t anywhere close to Perfect-Good.

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn Grok is a cell of unpaid prisone… interns typing out responses.

Silver dollar pancakes for the small ones. About 3 inch diameter. (About 7 cm?)

Arrested Development tv show. Pretty funny. The family fortune started with the dad opening a banana stand in his youth.

ALT: 2 panels. 1st panel- Rich mom from Arrested Development sitcom, holding a cup, opulent home, saying “I mean it’s one banana, Michael. How much could it cost? Ten dollars?”

2nd panel- Michael sitting back, head on hand saying “you’ve never actually stepped foot in a supermarket, have you?”
