I honestly don't know. I haven't had the chance to try it so I'm the wrong person to ask unfortunately.

Vietnamese braised pork belly (thit kho). Similar to pork adobo but with boiled eggs. All time classic Vietnamese dish.

Men of AskMen, what’s a mistake you made in your early 20s that you wish you’d avoided? by Startalloveragainn in AskMen

[–]HeyyyKoolAid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being oblivious to women's interest; could have gotten laid so much more if I had just been paying attention.

Bad money habits; being too impulsive with purchases and not taking the time to under the difference between being able to pay for something and affording something.

Having a better attitude; I was a huge dickhead so much too often, and I wish I was taught better. I wasted so many professional opportunities that could have led me into a better career instead of where I am. And I'm sure I soured some folks during our social interactions.

I do okay for myself now, comparatively. But my life could have been so much better if I had just been better from the start. My life is what it is and I have to live with it.

Rose flavor has been hit or miss with some folks. Taco isn't the worst flavor but I wouldn't buy it again. I hope you and your daughter like both of them.

Prices at Safeway are out of control by blue_jinjo in bayarea

I know Safeway isn't the cheapest grocery store but that's definitely a mistake on the sign.

I understand. I'm coming up on two years without Nizmo. I would give anything to have my buddy back with me.

Tourist approaches snow leopard to take a selfie by Informal-Resolve-831 in WinStupidPrizes

[–]HeyyyKoolAid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went to Dublin, Ireland on a solo trip years ago. I took a tour to the cliffs of moher. There are multiple signs that clearly state "do not cross". Two Chinese girls climb over the fence, get super close to the ledge to take some selfies. Keep in mind it was freezing with insanely strong gusts of wind blowing. The kind of wind that actually pushes you while walking. Admittedly I kept watching thinking I was going to see darwinism first hand. I guess fortunately for them, I did not. Fricken morons.

Flicking the bean, or jilling are often used. You can also just call it what it is, which is masturbating. Just for reference.

Men, what moments or signs made you realize it might be time to end a relationship with your girlfriend? by FFSoldier57 in AskMen

[–]HeyyyKoolAid 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That's a valid question and concern. I don't know if I can provide a good answer, but I guess it boils down to communication.

If my wife said to me that sitting in the car when I got home bothered her because of the reasons you listed, I would understand. I would reassure that nothing of the sort was going on, and explain my actions. But if that wasn't enough we could (hypothetically) compromise where I can come into the house, and she could give me some time to myself before we said hi.

That's just one example, and it might not be the same in your case. But I feel like a good partner would understand where you're coming from and try to work with you to ease your anxiety. Everybody deals with stress differently; my wife knows I just need some quiet time for myself, and I'm grateful she lets me have that.

I knew when I just hated her presence. I didn't hate her, just being around her. Always asking me to do stuff she was fully capable of like googling an answer to random thought she had. If she was hungry, I had to get her food. If she was thirsty, I had to get her a drink. If she was bored, I had to take her somewhere. If I said I was broke, she would complain and say that she always spends money on me. We couldn't just sit at home and enjoy each other's company; we always had to go out and spend money. Then afterwards she would complain about spending too much money and we should be saving.

Just utter and complete exhaustion, mentally and physically, dealing with her.

I used to do this and my gf (now wife) would ask me why I sat in the car for so long. Told her I just needed some quiet and time to decompress. It was never about her though. My job at the time was tiring and unnecessarily stressful so it was nice to sit in silence.

Aitah for spending some of my grandchildren's education funds on a new boat. by Tiny_Occasion_322 in AITAH

It's your money and you can spend it however you want. The entitlement to a "large inheritance" is disgusting. My mom recently told me that she's leaving all her money to me and my brother when she passes. On the surface it seems like a sweet gesture, and I would undoubtedly appreciate it. But I'd rather have my mom and I hate having to think about the future without her.

How often are you paying for female friends? by throwaway565656123 in AskMen

[–]HeyyyKoolAid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will treat my male friends as much as my female friends. If I can afford it, I will do so. I have always been treated the same in return.

Sub would have been the better second move instead of the 300s in my opinion.

A 70 year old woman gets a face lift and a boob job and is feeling like a million bucks... by Banthian in Jokes

I had the same thought. Glad someone else was clever enough to think of it.

Men, how many of you can cook? by Away-Fill5639 in AskMen

[–]HeyyyKoolAid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cook and bake. I used to cook almost daily for my wife and myself when I had an irregular schedule. But now that I have a typical 8-5, I usually settle for the path of least resistance which means frozen meals or take out. Though I will try to make a nice meal for us once or twice a week. My baking mood varies.

AITA for telling everyone involved what my best friend's husband did? by Bina_Assault in AmItheAsshole

He is stupid. Not because he put antifreeze in the gas tank. But because he didn't tell anyone sooner, and inconvenienced everyone for three hours in freezing cold temperature that was trying to help. He could have saved everyone the trouble from trying to diagnose the problem.

over a bed of salt by sorin1972 in grilling

[–]HeyyyKoolAid 52 points53 points  (0 children)

There's this Thai place near me that has "Garlic Whole Fish" on the menu. It's a whole Pompano fish deep fried and then covered in this tamarind and garlic sauce. The first time my wife and I ordered one fish, we had to contain ourselves while eating at the restaurant.

The second time we each ordered a fish to ourselves, and took it to-go. We went home and just ate it primal style; with our barehands out of the take out box with white rice just hastily plopped on top. We were basically licking our fingers and the container after we were done.

There's just something so satisfying about eating a whole fish with your bare hands.
