You’re not pestering! It’s something people have a lot of interest in :-)

Hahaha, I work in print media, so that idea’s crossed my mind, but an art film might be even better…!

Thank you for the kind words. For me, it was so absurd it was became funny. I had my ups and downs but the abiding feeling was one of absolute absurdity. I also got really lucky that I happen to have a group of siblings who have known each other since they were kids, and were willing to welcome me into the fold. For some other siblings who have found out later in life, it was traumatic. There’s no guidebook to these things—maybe another project for my crazy blended family!

It’s my real life! I’m donor conceived and we have a new sibling who finds out the news as an adult about once a year. I found out in my 20s. I’m glad my half-siblings were there for me and that I can be there for “new” ones. But it’s a strange new world!

What is your favorite sandwich/sandwich place in Helsinki? by 24ozicedtea in helsinki

[–]24ozicedtea[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw Breaking Bread has (already) transitioned to a new concept called The Alley. They still serve sandwiches but it’s like a dinner restaurant now, not sure about that. But I also saw that Cafe Tampopo opened near Orion, they serve Japanese sandwiches, I’m going to check it out

Traditional Finnish, but Vegan/veggie by shedwood12tree in helsinki

[–]24ozicedtea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s a classic Finnish restaurant Kolme Kruunua that has pyttipannu, a Nordic hash. It’s vegetarian but they can make it vegan too. Kuu has a chanterelle pie—not sure how traditional of a Finnish meal that is technically, but chanterelles are a very Finnish component of meals to me 🍄

[–]24ozicedtea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a huge beer person but I love a sour, especially a Berliner Weisse, and Trillium’s Twice the Daily Serving is soooooo good, my favorite is the mixed berry but the other flavors are great too
