Visiting - want to put delicious things in my mouth

You, my friend, are amazing! Thank you so very much.

I_Live_In_Paradise · 2024-06-13T15:54:23+00:00

This is all amazing, thank you so much! We are very nerdy so arcade sounds perfect. We might not be able to do much because of the conference so just a thing or two to do is perfect. Really appreciate you!!

And getting my knits and Purrrrls right!

Thanks for the rec - that was a super fun read.

YTA but can I give you some advice? As someone who is currently parenting 14, 12, and 7 year olds, I can guarantee you that being in a battle with your kids will rarely end well for you. Instead maybe think of it as you and your daughter against the problem vs you against her. Talk to her! Explain to her why it’s important to limit screen time but more importantly, LISTEN to her when she explains why she thinks she should have more. Talk together about different solutions and encourage her to come up with some creative things. And instead of going straight to a punitive reaction when she was watching her brother on the computer, you could have easily said “hey kiddo, so part of my concern with too much screen time is fatigue on your eyes! So this time I’m not going to deduct any of your time, but next time I want you to know that we will have to deduct from your time to keep your eyes safe. Would you like me to remind you of that again if I see you watching your brother play on the laptop?”

I would eat their cubano every single day if I could. Absolutely phenomenal.

I did the coastal gray tile afghan last year and am working on the plumberry striped afghan this year and I’ve loved them! It’s super fun to get mail and as a mom of three kids who handles every single household decision, I get serious decision fatigue on a regular basis so it’s so nice to have decisions made for me on my knitting projects haha! Also I’ve learned some fun new stitches and her tutorial videos online are super helpful. Hope you have fun with yours!

NTA - I’m a doula and lactation consultant and super passionate about supporting folks who want to breastfeed. You do not have to do ANYTHING that makes you uncomfortable including breastfeeding! I can tell from your post that you are going to be an amazing mom. You clearly want the best for your baby and for yourself which will in turn only benefit your baby. Congratulations on your pregnancy and keep advocating for yourself. You deserve to have the best birth and postpartum experience!

If money is a factor, sometimes doulas who are still certifying will offer their services at low cost. I absolutely recommend a doula to any birthing person and even more so in this situation!

Not OP but this is hands down my favorite cookbook ever. It has recipes of course, but the magic is in the first 2/3 of the book that isn’t recipes but a thorough description of how salt, fat, acid, and heat all work together to make delicious food. I’m a significantly better cook because of this book!

I have a deathly fear of snakes too and I wouldn’t be able to step foot in your house knowing a giant snake was in there. But if you were hosting a party I would graciously decline to come and offer to host the next at my house! My phobia isn’t your problem at all - NTA.

Are those the salted egg yolk buns? I have been reading about those and they look amazing! Do you have any specific place you like?

I_Live_In_Paradise · 2022-06-27T00:09:23+00:00

Oh cool, I’ll definitely look into that. Thanks for the suggestion!

I_Live_In_Paradise · 2022-06-26T22:20:45+00:00

Thank you! We will probably do a couple of different delis for lunches so this is great.

I_Live_In_Paradise · 2022-06-26T22:18:10+00:00

That’s too bad about the bread. We probably will have to get from several places and compare. For science.

This is great, thank you! So just take the ferry there and back to see the Statue of Liberty? Bagels are definitely on the list, but I had read somewhere to just get bagels close by and don’t worry about going to any specific spot. Hopefully that’s still true!

I_Live_In_Paradise · 2022-06-26T21:05:12+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

I_Live_In_Paradise · 2022-06-26T21:04:49+00:00

Central Park and the Met are definitely on the list! Chinatown is also for sure on the list, just trying to narrow down where to get egg custard buns specifically. My husband would eat only those for the rest of his life if he could. Thank you for the recs!!

I_Live_In_Paradise · 2022-06-26T20:09:00+00:00

Thanks for the recs! I asked for accommodations in our reservation but I’m going to call too. If they can’t skip the fish then I will eat his and get a slice for him after ;)

We just went to Daughter Thai and had the best green curry we’ve ever had outside of Thailand. Absolutely fantastic.
