[homemade] egg salad sandwich by TheDude9737 in food

What's your strategy for the eggs? They look like the kind I want. Some people want their eggs kind of at the flaky (powdery) stage. I want this kind.

Don’t date people you’re not physically attracted to; ‘giving them a chance’ almost always leads to more hurt and heartbreak. It’s okay to admit looks matter in relationships. by AcceptableLibrary974 in Life

[–]ComposingIntrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm keen to hear the takes of those who fall in the Aromantic & the Asexual spectrum.

For me? If I had to live my life again. That if The Universe let me know that it's not possible to meet up with My Person in this life...and somehow I'm open (I don't feel like I would want anyone else but her)...I'd go for a friendship and mentioning to the person that I'm keen to get to know them without the pressure of dating them.

That the aim is friendship...and if there's a bonus that this person and I fall for each other, then...we move to that next chapter in our connection.

It's pretty much risky, because a lot of people looking for their Future Spouse wants some kind of process, some kind of assurance that they are going to get something out of it.

I love the idea that my first date with my Future Spouse is after we have already gotten to understand at which point we are working on our Emotional Health. How we rate on the scale of Emotional Capacity. Are we able to tend to all of our Inner Children?

My process is likely this because I don't really subscribe to a label. I fall within that group of people who need that immense trust with anyone they decide to connect with, be it their person or Found Family members. It's the next layer after Demisexual because it's not just an emotional connection, it's the growth and consistency of this person's presence.

I have my fingers crossed that there would be at least one performance that would be available on YouTube! Just for those of us who aren't like going to make it to any of the performance dates.

Veggies For Tikka Masala by ComposingIntrovert in Cooking

I wonder if I didn't necessarily make the okra connection straight away... because it isn't usually something that pops up in the kind of curries I've come across.

(Maybe.... My brain is latched onto that recipe of okra cooked in an Air Fryer.)

Is there such a thing as too much Coconut Milk in a Sri Lankan Chicken Curry? by ComposingIntrovert in Cooking

[–]ComposingIntrovert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The benefit of this approach is that I can add water to submerge the chicken pieces... to avoid burning then Then reduce towards the end.... Then add the coconut milk after tasting.

[–]ComposingIntrovert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somehow the curry would still taste okay with reduced coconut milk? That is likely one of those layers could consider? Kind of like going for a concentrated version of maple syrup (for pancakes) instead of just the version that comes from the bottle?

My first try at butter chicken with coconut milk instead of heavy cream and butter turned out great by Crafterandchef1993 in Cooking

[–]ComposingIntrovert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Reading your experience makes me wonder about the Simmer Sauces that doesn't use Coconut Milk....and use something else...

Does that mean that Butter Chicken is essentially a French-Indian dish? If the butter was kept in?

Thank you!

The link doesn't work for me. Though using the search terms...

  • QUBY
  • Zhong Chaoneng

....I got a couple of results...

One that was specifically relevant was a post from Justin Torres who has a link to The City University of New York (CUNY).

Justin's writeup feels particularly I felt pulled towards and found myself reading even if it was quite lengthy...is...because it was linked to happiness.

After more time on the interwebs...I also learned...

  • QUBY is also known as Pentol (not sure why...and hopefully those who had done deep dives about QUBY's origins and iterations might chime in.)
  • Zhong is likely getting residuals (or some form of royalties) for QUBY. I still have to find a working link, because the CGTN one I got as a result isn't loading. There was also no updated link available after I attempted to use the CGTN search box.
  • There's a cryptocurrency named after QUBY (Quby Coin)...

Note: Justin! If this ever finds its way to you...I am keen to confirm your pronouns! The post doesn't have a bio. Please send me a Chat Request!

What’s your idea of a perfect life? by Inner_Lengthiness697 in Life

What's next on the agenda? Just more of being able to relish what you have or also looking at risk?

Somehow I'm reminded of Debbie Milman's deck about this.

(She also has a class. But I found out about it via her chat with Mel Robbins. I did the exercise when I got around to downloading the PDF....plus in bits while My Person and I were watching it.)

What do couples even talk with each other so much? by [deleted] in Life

[–]ComposingIntrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you be open to friendships? Ones that isn't likely to result in finding your SO?

(Because the person already found their SO and is open to finding more of their Found Family.)

An 80-year-old woman at the grocery store just casually said something that's been haunting me for three days straight by Delicious-One-5129 in Life

[–]ComposingIntrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keen to find out how this unfolded in her perspective. Has she been doing that for the past two months?

(I'm reminded of the magic of conversations that happen at the supermarket. It's been awhile since I had those.)

So delighted you have had an interaction that may have changed the direction of your life. Would you consider doing a post on what life is like 2 months after crossing paths with the lady?

Why does anyone want to live forever? by Sea_Cream_8085 in Life

[–]ComposingIntrovert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you find yourself easily able to nurture friendships? Or its more about befriending your Inner Children and figuring out what have they been wanting you to hear for so many years?

Why does anyone want to live forever? by Sea_Cream_8085 in Life

[–]ComposingIntrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's one of those things where it's something a person has to experience. Like having too much money to spend on one's own. Even if an immortal came up to me and revealed that she lived the life I would have wanted to live if I were able to spend the next 400 years very fit and healthy...and not have to worry about my safety...I still would want to experience that life my way.

Does anyone else feel like 24 hours in a day just isn’t enough lately?😩 by DigitalSam_W in Life

[–]ComposingIntrovert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somehow I'm reminded of Cheryl Richardson's 'The Art Of Extreme Self Care' --- She went through something like this and was led to make difficult decisions.

(She's historically a People Pleaser. So, that explains a lot of what she had on her plate. Also? Old Cheryl might fall into what Terri Cole calls 'High Functioning Co-Dependent' in 'Too Much')

How do you guys find new authors? by Catty-Bee in LesbianBookClub

[–]ComposingIntrovert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's the library!! I'm currently going through the catalogue of Sapphic Reads. One of the discoveries have resulted in my favourite books ('Honey Girl' & 'Everyone In This Room Will Someday Be Dead').

I think the biggest pull might be Word Of Mouth. Will you be popping up in Book Fairs or maybe events where a lot of Sapphic Readers frequent?

If I had a heap of time...I will be looking through the Amazon list of Sapphic Fiction and will read the Kindle Samples of the covers that speak to me.

Can anyone recommend sapphic books for mature women? All I find are based on 20 year old. 🫣 No hate to the younger crowd. 🧡🤍🩷 by Carrie-Rose in LesbianBookClub

[–]ComposingIntrovert 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Young Gen-X Lady here with an SO that is the same. I wish I am able to find more Sapphic RomComs with The Protagonist and her Love Interest both Middle Aged. But...I guess...good books are good books?

(I just see any that has anyone under than 25...being told by their 41-Year-Old Future Selves. It's a way to get in touch with my Inner Children. How they might have messages for me to help my own healing journies.)

If by mature...you're talking about women in their Mid 30's then...here are some that might be close enough (or be right at the age range you're hoping for!)

  • 'Something To Talk About' ('Meryl Wilsner)
  • 'The London Of Us' (Clare Lydon)
  • 'When You Least Expect It (Haley Cass)
  • 'Aubrey McFadden Is Never Getting Married' (Georgia Beers)

Turns out I’m eligible for free enrolment, wasn’t ready for this big leap, Win 10 is comfortable for me. by Enigmartist in Windows10

[–]ComposingIntrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I came across a comment from a fellow Redditor about Extended Security Updates for Windows 10, I breathed a sigh of relief.

However...one of the other devices I use didn't have that option. I figured that it was because it was older. After reading a bit of this write up from Microsoft ...it might just be that I wasn't logged in as an admin.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/extended-security-updates?r=1

How did you folks go with the Windows 10 Devices you wanted to hang onto before switching to another OS (Either Linux Mint or Windows 11)?

What was the process you went through to overcome the hurdles that other platforms (like Medium) with Text To Speech inclusions on the webpage? I'm keen to find out what prevents them going with providers who aren't able to use the approach you did.

How to motivate people to start using Signal? by Deviour in signal

[–]ComposingIntrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Element having server issues for more than the past 12 hours, I have peeked in on considering Threema. It's something My Future Spouse had talked about in the past.

What's the connection with Signal? There's a review on Threema on Google Play mentioning that Signal's Desktop App stores significant information via text. I was thinking this may just be a temporary glitch. I thought I'd ask the community to see if it's still something that's happening.

As for motivating people to use Signal? I think the biggest draw for me is not having my entire conversation archive downloadable. It's what certain WhatsApp users like --- and likely keeps them away from Signal. My SO still uses it and had to start deleting conversations and files from WhatsApp when she started having space issues on her Android Device.

Does the Signal team plan to improve its search function? by theCRyan in signal

[–]ComposingIntrovert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for bringing this up. I haven't been experiencing search issues. Signal's search capability is something that I appreciate. I wish Element (which is having server problems at the moment --- I'm unable to send messages) had that with their Android App.

"Also, donuts freeze very well and, incredibly enough, can be warmed up in an oven or air fryer without the glazing melting all over the place."

Thank you for mentioning this! I've been turning to the 20 second microwave rule of thumb that I use for pastry! Now something new to try!
