My ex's Mom is a vegetarian (who also doesn't believe in using GMOs or a microwave) and her Dad has celiac and legitimately can't do gluten.
I hate trying to cook for them, and I REALLY hate it when they cook for me. Her Dad made these "dessert" balls that are made from flax seed and sadness the first time we met and I pretended to like them to be polite. Now he always makes me a bunch of them and I have to choke them down with a smile. I'll bee seeing them Friday and know I get to look forward to chomping on birdseed.
Flaxseed and sadness is a step up from cyanide and happiness
Is it though?
If they're your ex's parents, I'd have thought you'd be rid of them and their terrible cooking.
We're still best friends. Just no longer romantically attached.
We're Ace, so it's less of a transition than for most couples.
Then you have people from the opposite end of the spectrum. One time I received "protein cookies" from a friend and it was just baked chocolate whey protein powder 🤣. You'd expect something like that to work okay-ish, but it was a very, very sad cookie with way too much sweetener.
I don't know how to cook for shit (I once set pasta on fire) but I feel like even my dumbass could figure out how to make that work. Motherfucker needs to refine their recipe.
🤣. Htf does pasta even catch fire? There's usually moisture at all times.
Well I will say that the cookies were safe to eat at least. I think they are in the process of making it work atm.
I managed to boil the water down a tad bit too much cause they weren't softening, some of them were stuck to the side of the pot and caught fire. From there it was a simple matter of energy burnoff.
Please tell me that you were drunk out of your mind, lol.
In our old office we had a stove in the break room. A coworker managed to forget she was boiling eggs and smoke out the building 3 times in 4 months.
We finally bought her a gimmicky egg cooker that would turn itself off.
Close I was running on 4 hours of sleep and had been awake for about 2 days.
😯
Yeah that's generally the face folks make when I tell them that story. Highschool was a bitch to me since my wake period is generally from 8 PM to about 12 PM, so I was usually already winding down by the time school started.
Damn that's rough having a circadian rhyme like that.
The closest I'd get to understanding that would be that I recently found out that I have sleep apnea severe enough to eventually kill me that was untreated most of my life. You wouldn't expect it by looking at me because I look like a twink but there's apparently a neurological version of the issue that skinny ppl can suffer from.
Fuck hope ya can correct your issues. Mine sucks but isn't generally life threatening.
Ah, you too, eh?
Yeah I recently received an ASV.
When I said mine sucks I was making a joke about my piss poor sleep pattern. Though given the autism and C-PTSD I may as well have a sleep disorder.
Ah. Are you former military or something? Sleep is still kind of a mystery to science.
I hope that you continue to understand wtf was causing such an abnormal schedule because based on your messages, it sounds insane.
I've never been able to stay awake for 48 hours. The 24 hour mark, even at my youngest, is GG.
Aint military C-PTSD is associated with childhood abuses, I ain't breaking that mold to say the least. I've gotten it corrected for as much as possible without just going full murderous retribution so it's all good.
Also it's naturally pretty bad according to my kin I was annoying child because of how I'd naturally drop into being awake when everyone else was asleep, so that's always been a problem. The being awake for way too long issue is because of autism stubbornness and how certain noises can awaken me automatically probably due to the C-PTSD.
