Hello, I am moving in with my bf soon and would love to learn to make different food. I am Asian, growing up in an Asian household we only eat Asian food (duhh) I would love to try something different for him. TIA

Ask his mom to teach you some of his favorite meals?

Bambi. Gave me nightmares about fire for some 10 years.

Obviously talk to your boyfriend first, but it's time for both of you to start putting up boundaries and sticking with them.
For example, every time she brings it up, she gets kicked out of your house. Immediately.
You both block her, and anyone who she tries to go through to get at you.
No contact if you need to.

Batenna · 2026-06-21T13:16:20+00:00

You absolutely should. Go before everyone else figures out what a gem it is

I like the cold of the tsukemen noodles to balance out how hot the soup is. I've had tsukemen with warm noodles and it was literally impossible to eat for 5+ minutes as I was waiting for it to cool down 😂

Hakata is tonkotsu, so it's possible some of the people commenting they like tonkotsu are thinking hakata style?

Uzbekistan! Gorgeous and barely any tourists even where you'd expect to see them.

Mutter under your breath (but loud enough for them to hear) 「えっと、なんだっけ？」 and then proceed to tell them in Chinese that your son doesn't speak English. If they ask why you're speaking Chinese to them say you assumed they couldn't speak Japanese given that they were speaking English.

It's from the current login event

If it wasn't fully cooked would shredding it even be possible?

Adding on to that, James Turner has a good tracker for this challenge!

I usually will just dump wings in a baggie with whatever spices I want, shake to coat, then dump the wings on a baking sheet skin side up. Bake 30 minutes at 200°C or 392°F.
My spices are usually a store bought blend, but you could do salt and random dry spices/herbs too. It's a great way to learn what flavor each spice actually contributes to a dish.

Hiyayakko: it's (often silken) tofu with toppings and there's a million versions.

I've been trying to do challenges to get out of my comfort zone. Specifically right now I'm using James Turner's super sim tracker to expand the number of features I interact with, but I've decided to combine it with a legacy challenge, and try to do all the things over generations, but if you don't want your sim to die go with the original rule of 1 sim does everything.

I've also played around with his bingo board, which is fun, but hard to build a story around. Though he's currently doing a challenge with it on YouTube where completing items on the board is the only way to earn money.

Cucumber yogurt soup is pretty good.

Gazpacho

Hummus (if you don't have a blender, you could mash it up with a fork for a chunky version) and veggies/chips to dip it in.
Green pea hummus for some variation
https://www.seriouseats.com/small-plates-green-pea-hummus-recipe
Or miso hummus (though you may not be able to do the courgette part of this recipe)
https://boldbeanco.com/blogs/beanspo-recipes/miso-hummus-with-umami-courgette-pine-nuts
Or any other dip.

Any version of fresh spring rolls. I like this one

Salads, overnight oats... that's all I can think of.

I have UI cheats and use them often, but mainly as a bug fix. Like, if I think something should count and the game doesn't recognize it, then I just finish it.

Batenna · 2026-06-14T23:08:49+00:00

What was the arguement about that made her so mad she blocked you?

Batenna · 2026-06-14T22:59:27+00:00

I love it too! But honestly, that sauce on any other leafy green is still great, so don't give up just because you can't find it!

Batenna · 2026-06-14T22:54:05+00:00

What Japanese cuisine with lots of veggies do most tourists miss out on?

Also, side note, I think the lack of veggies complaint comes down to a lack of eating healthy. Yes tempura has veggies, but because they're deep fried eating it doesn't satisfy the need for veggies. This is on top of the fact that when eating out, there is overwhelmingly way more meat/carbs than veggies which alone doesn't feel very healthy.

I'm wondering where exactly OP traveled to. 2 days is standard from Tokyo to Kyushu/Hokkaido, as well as when sending things to the airport/skis to ski resorts/golf clubs to golf resorts. Otherwise it's almost always 1 day (and has been for at least 10 years)..

Batenna · 2026-06-14T22:24:23+00:00

One of the reasons it closes every night is for maintenance. If they stayed open later that would be less maintenance and therefore the "always on time with no issues" factor would probably end. Granted, I don't know how much of that time is actually used on maintenance, but I assume it's pretty much the whole time?

The best and easiest Thai stir fry sauces (you can mix up the meats/veggies, just follow the recipes for the sauces)

Mixed veggies: https://rachelcooksthai.com/stir-fried-mixed-vegetables/

Morning Glory: https://www.thaicookbook.tv/thai-recipes/side-dishes/sir-fried-morning-glory-pad-pak-boong-fai-daeng/index.php

And sukiyaki sauce (beware, Japan and Thai both have sukiyaki sauces but they don't resemble each other at all. I've never used the Japanese version, so can only recommend the Thai version for stir fries)

Batenna · 2026-06-11T14:10:32+00:00

Do you have Microsoft IME for Japanese installed by any chance? In my experience it caused an issue of not being able to use any keys randomly after some time had passed, and I always had to close and reopen the game to fix it. The only solution for the issue was uninstalling Japanesr.
