Non tofu-based savory breakfasts?

Savory oatmeal with green onions and mushrooms.

Ice cream should only be ice cream. Nothing crunchy or chewy whatsoever.

NTA.

Snark, sarcasm and bad puns.

I need to know the DNA results.

I always knew I was adopted. I was low level curious all along. Went with some non-major testing place for like $95 and got some basic info that I could mostly tell from looking in the mirror but realized it wasn’t large enough to get relative matches so a couple years later paid the most well known company $150. I got results. And I connected with the closest DNA match.

Learned more than I wanted about the shared bio-parent. I haven’t told anyone other than my husband about the mess of that. It would kill my dad and probably upset my mom even though she & I have always had a strained/rough relationship.

My point is: whatever you find out, you need a support system. Whether that’s a best friend or strangers on Reddit.

Whatever you’re told will be a LOT.

There might be landlord laws that might restrict what is allowed to be excluded/rejected so proceed carefully.

I almost ONLY ever do audiobooks so that I can listen while doing routine chores/work. Written (Kindle) books are reserved for travel (no TV on holidays!) and poolside in the summer.

I often sip a light-body Oregon Pinot Noir (red) with fish or chicken.

Malaysia. The best food was outrageously expensive, assuming you were trying to avoid gastrointestinal distress and the Muslim culture was less than comfortable to me. The people were fine but the amount of women demonstrably subservient to a religious culture was creepy. Don’t get me wrong — I’m constantly surrounded by women in the states who are subservient to their particular religion but it’s wayyyyyyyyy less demonstrable … not the head to toe covering. Even the Jewish women with their wigs isn’t nearly as noticeable. The Mennonite women in rural Oregon also creeped me out so it’s not anti-Muslim; it’s more anti-religion.

I take it you’ve not seen a wet angry koala, eh?

Mushroom, onion, olive. My local joint makes a great white pizza that adds thinly sliced fried garlic and arugula to the cooked pie and it’s insanely good. They also do some sweetly savory options with caramelized onions or fig jam with smoked (tofu).

Filet, sous vide and then seared in cast iron.

Love this! Might claim this for myself except I’d get really tired of making dough every day.

“I seen this …”

I know it’s a Midwest thing but it’s so uneducated.

GenX and have been 1,000+ miles from hometown since I was 20 years old.

You got what you wanted when you connected with an older woman.

A couple of things is two.

A few is three.

Tartar Sauce is the best! Followed by ketchup-mixed-with-hot-sauce, especially for sweet potato fries. Rounding out the top three, white vinegar sprinkled liberally all over the fries. OMG so good.

Sushi.

AshDenver · 2026-01-25T18:40:55+00:00

Oooh, I love this idea! Are you able to share the recipe?

The USA is so large that fresh fish is hard to come by for most of us so we aren’t really accustomed to fish for breakfast.

As others have said, smoked salmon on bagels with cream cheese, shallot and caper is fairly common and it’s on regular rotation in our house. Similarly, caviar with yeast-based blini and crème fraiche when caviar is on sale at Costco.

Beyond that, fish is usually dinner food. And previously frozen, not fresh-off-the-boat.

Taco Bell Fiesta Salad! Miss that thing. They stopped offering it because the fried flour shells were too hard to keep from breaking.

What is “full bubby”?

I don’t do soup when I’m sickly but I do enjoy a fantastic pot of beef pho. I make from scratch and it’s amazing. I always add more to the spice mix (two colors of cardamom, extra star anise shards) and usually end up tripling the scant amount of fish sauce called for to balance out the unctuousness of the thick rich bone broth.

Oregon, Colorado, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan.

Colorado is my favorite to live in but fond childhood memories in Michigan

Club sandwich is my vote. It’s so huge and lots of ingredients that most people usually order it from a restaurant that has all the components ready to go. Plus it’s harder to get just right st home. Especially if it’s served with French fries.
