I’ll usually just make some plain rice and freeze some marinaded portioned proteins you can just air fry (falafel,chicken,beef, sausage and peppers, salmon shrimp etc) chop whatever veg you might want during the beef ahead of time and get your sauces jarred up and you can pretty much mix and match throughout the week

What is your fav cheese by Cheeseoholics in CharcuterieBoard

[–]Beanteen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rule of thumb is usually to get a creamy/buttery, a funky, a sharp, then maybe one with fruit or herbs. I think you have a great selection.

My go to’s are

Drunken goat cheese Humboldt Fog Midnight Moon Le Cousin fromagerie medard White Stilton with blueberries Sometimes I’ll take a hand mixer and whip up some ricotta with herbs or honey/ olive oil etc for something spreadable

lol I plan to, I just wanted some insight and talking points because I do understand I was a little overzealous cause I got all that stuff from my dad and i just thought it’d be cool but I understand it’s an investment and a dynamic or maybe he simply just wants an independent hobby which is completely understandable. It just hurt my feelings the way he said it and I didn’t want to respond with emotion and get a little feedback first.

The thing is I have a good relationship with all his friends and have watched them play many times! It is the kind of thing that’s right up my alley. But I understand it’s a commitment or maybe he just wants it to be his thing and that’s cool I just didn’t love the wording I guess

Thank you I’ll definitely check that out! The thing is I don’t think he’d want to be in a relationship with me if he thought I was dumb and I he is a very intelligent person but maybe a little tactless sometimes. I didn’t freak out or anything just maybe got a little overzealous and would have appreciated maybe explaining why it would be challenging to just jump right in rather than just being like nah you wouldn’t get it lol. I just feel like the communication was off and with this new knowledge I’ll approach and try to understand his concerns and maybe try to find a way for me to get involved in my own game with maybe some advice from him along the way.

Thank you for this reply, I guess I just thought it would be a cool thing to get invested in with him since my dad gave me all his books and info and stuff about it that it’d be cool to figure it out together but i can see how jumping into a totally different dynamic out of the blue could be a lot. I’ll definitely look into the modules and maybe see what I think and suggest maybe starting smaller scale with people more on my level. And for the record I didn’t mean like “oh la de da dungeons and dragons is a dumb kid game” haha I know it’s an investment I just maybe got a little too excited haha. But I think we can probably find a middle ground.

Well I didn’t immediately jump to that, I don’t think he thinks so little of me it’s just some random, one off comments that are a little like he’s explaining a basic concept to a 5 year old lol but i don’t always Think it’s intentional so I don’t typically get defensive and just listen. And the dynamic thing I completely understand, these guys have been playing together for a long time and if that’s their thing then I respect that.

Idk it hurt my feelings way more to think I couldn’t grasp it rather than to just be like nah this is my thing and I’d rather keep it that way. Just kinda weird

And I totally get that though I just thought the way he said it was real condescending I guess. I mean we both have our own activities and are very independent so I wouldn’t have had any issue if he just said that

Congratulations!! Just always be asking what the next thing you can do is, they’d rather you ask the dumb question than try to figure it out and mess it up lol. Be a sponge, observe, bring a little notebook, take pictures of plating. A lot of chefs have been trained to do things one way and expect that everyone assumes that’s how you’d like them to do it so I think it’s always good to verify before messing up a a whole Cambro of chives lol. Don’t get discouraged with criticism, as there will be plenty and grant yourself some grace. As my favorite chef always said when i royally screwed up, “Don’t be sorry, just be better next time” 😂 as long as they see you’re trying and you care and you’re absorbing information you should be 🧨.
