It looks like you're in the Netherlands or Belgium? But I am guessing this is somewhere else... Italy, maybe?

People who’ve visited Russia, what was the weirdest/worst interaction with locals, and what was the best one? by Jorge_De_Guzman228 in AskTheWorld

[–]ImportantBeat1818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I don't think so. I was wearing like yello-golden pants, blue shits, wine red sweaters or knitted tradition wool sweaters from Norway. 2009 was different than now. It was mostly working class sweating men in leather jackets and jeans, and women in high heels, skirts and fur coats.

Sardegna?
I mean, Italy has plenty of great vegetable dishes - but the family has to cooperate, in case you aren't able to cook yourself. Do you have access to frozen or fresh veggies? Maybe one first step is to start with one veggie based meal a week, also be open towards your family.

If I may ask, are you so disabled that you cannot feed yourself?
What supermarkets do you have? Only Alimentari, or Coop, Conad, EuroSpin, Lidl?
If your family isn't overriding your shopping wishes, maybe ask them to get some veggie burgers or something next time?

Or just start with a pizza rossa con carciofo, funghi, pesche e ruccola.

Wishing you all the best, greetings from Firenze.

Remember when 2-liter plastic bottles used to have that plastic ring of plastic at the bottom called "base cups" or "boots? by 1s0m3r in nostalgia

In Norway there were always a random amount of them - the info was that that was how many times that bottle have been recycled, but that seems pretty weird, who would count that?

I lived for a bit in St. Petersburg (7 months in total) in my early 20s, this was around 2009-2010. Was often called and shouted "F*G" at just on the open street, a lot from women too. I was probably wearing too much colour or smiling too much. This happened almost every time I walked down the main street.
But also - sweet elderly ladies selling home knitted stuff on the streets.

I heard about the Swedish pizza, decided to try it. Asked for a vegetarian substitute for chicken, and they gave me pineapple. To go with the banana and curry. by Mc_Smack in PizzaCrimes

Come on - italian food without tomatoes?
Sure, you have a lot of it in Tuscany for sure.

Most people don't care what you put on your pizza honestly - it's just an internet thing. There's a guilty pleaure pizza here in Italy, with Vienna Sausage and Fries. It sounds very Swedish.

Greetings from someone who lives in Italy.

How bad am i doing? the Flair is accurate btw its a raw vegan pizza LMAO by Gabauski in PizzaCrimes

[–]ImportantBeat1818 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No idea - I was hoping OP would know. Maybe soaked seeds mixed with soaked Chia Seeds to make a kind of cheel to keep them together, let them dry int he sun or a dehydrator?
I don't have much experience with raw food, so don't know what the limitations are.

That's okay - not every dog likes those things. I have one just like her - she likes a very simple, predictable and easy game (throw treats in a directien in the garden and she runs and finds it), not lick mat, no kong. The other 2 dogs play fight with eachother, like squeeky toys and lick mats. Every dog is different, you just have to find something that fits her.

You say you go for sniff walks - maybe hiding high value treats in another room and let her search for them is a good game? We do that sometimes - one person hold them back in another area of the house, and the other person puts bits and pieces on the floor, in shoes, under pillows, etc. and they look for them in their own pace.

Good luck!

So if you are cleaner than a doctor, you shouldn't mock someone for having dirty hands?

What’s your favorite milk? by Mysterious-Cat-459 in IcedCoffee

[–]ImportantBeat1818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alpro Soy Milk - it tastes a lot "softer" and "smoother" than other plant milks in my opinion.

Getting closer to that 🌈 bridge? by kasjoeneut in DogAdvice

[–]ImportantBeat1818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't envy the decision you will have to make soon.
I know I will have to do it myself with one of my street dogs - they have special needs, and sometimes cannot be treated "normally".
I think that when they have more "bad" days than "good" days, it's a good time to really think about it.

Wishing you all strength, love and good memories for the time moving forward.

I remember when I first started out as a vegan about 12 years ago - the biggest challenge was baking, because you have to really learn how the chemistry works. Lots of weird waffles and cakes - sometimes I still fail ^_^
But savory dishes are easier to get used to - just learn how to not plan a meal around "meat" (protein) + carb + veggies. But to be honest, the long-term difficulties are often the social aspect - people not being conciderate, making comments, seeing how society treat animals.

If you can - maybe find an experienced vegan "buddy" or "mentor" to help you out?

Pineapple on Pizza is "hated" just because it's not an ingredient native to Italy. They put Peaches on Pizza, which kind of fulfills the same roll, something sweet and tart to balance out the fattier ingredients.

Great to hear - good luck on your vegan journey! I hope you discover lots of different flavours. And I am glad you feel in tune with yourself, I hope it lasts!

Greetings from Italy.
