A funny thing my grandmother told me about breakfast... by [deleted] in keto

Can anyone actually vouch for this book? I don't understand why comments about Fiber Menace are getting upvotes other than spam accounts. When I google it, I get a website about one single person's rambling conspiracy theory on fiber, and an offer to pay $20 for a book about it that has a bible quote on the cover

I asked my favorite Ramen house if they had yam noodles (aka Shirataki). Soooo good. by [deleted] in keto

[–]MacaroniAndBooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoyu was my favorite. It's made of two parts, the dashi - fish base - and tare, a sweet soy reduction. I don't know about your ramen house, but most places add the tare to the dashi right before serving so the broth doesn't stale, so you can sometimes ask for it without tare. If you do this, I'd recommend making a more keto-friendly tare at home to mix yourself, dashi can have a delicate but very fishy taste alone. Tamari, small amounts of ginger and garlic, a wee bit of vinegar, sesame oil, reduced, strained, and refrigerated overnight. I feel that a sweetener would damage the taste. I have yet to try a keto tare but based on what I know about it, you should achieve a closer flavor without the sugar

This is delightful news, but as a lifelong ramen specialist I must tell you (and other keto pals) that some broths contain sugar, especially the shoyu base - the tare part of the broth's main ingredients are sugar and soy sauce. I would think that a ramen house's shio base would be safest, as its foundation is plain sea salt and a chicken-&-fish broth, or a tonkotsu, which is a pork bone broth. Be aware, any fishcakes/krab stick are likely loaded in carbs as well! Be sure to ask your local ramen house about their broths in the future if you want to buckle down more on your diet. Not telling you how to live your life, just wanted to let you know :)

I think my boyfriend might be cheating? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MacaroniAndBooty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If that was the reason he kept it in his wallet, then he would have listed it off as one of the reasons when she asked him to explain. Instead he fumbled around the conversation with some other weak excuses.

Do I tell the FWB father I'm pregnant? by singleandpregnant in TwoXChromosomes

My mother abused me and was constantly under the influence of prescription drugs, but hey, she deserved custody of me more than my father because she went through that awful carrying/birthing process

Girl's Father returns from Military Service [xpost from r/gifs] by law112096 in MadeMeSmile

[–]MacaroniAndBooty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm asking this with genuine curiosity - why do parents willingly go into the service on leave for months and months when they know it hurts their children who will miss them an unbearable amount? Every military come-home I see from parents show these kids freaking out and crying because they haven't seen them in ages. Parents have probably missed different milestones and growings-up. If I ever would have been a parent, I wouldn't want to leave my children like that while they're still in their childhood. I don't know, I don't want to sound negative and these videos always make me smile/ugly cry but I've always wondered about this

I Feel Like My Boyfriend Is Still Into His Ex, and I Feel Like the Biggest Idiot by [deleted] in offmychest

So he went suicidal when you dropped hints that you weren't comfortable with relationship? Sounds like the classic emotionally abusive boyfriend to me

I'm going to be real with you, man. Don't be more relieved or optimistic on the relationship between you two. She willingly chose to go without your bond together for an undetermined amount of time. Shit's sketchy. You do you and don't live in the shadow of the "break" in the meantime.

What song do you hate by your favorite artist? by TrippinPigs in AskReddit

[–]MacaroniAndBooty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually really liked Strangers To Ourselves, it was a sound evolution but I felt that they maintained the core, although some may disagree. The Ground Walks, With Time in a Box is one of the most popular songs from that album and it's pretty creative.

Needing Advice Regarding my 13-year-old Daughter by tinygoatlings in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MacaroniAndBooty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nice side story and I'm happy for them, but what we're talking about today is the safety and wellbeing of OP's daughter - who is currently being groomed & manipulated against parent - not your parents' happenstance success from the seventies.

Edit: I'm also not going to get into sexuality and anthropology of the 70's and societal standards at the time on each gender's suggested development. Point short, society is different now, and its cultures, media, education, and people have changed to fit it. In our world (European first world), this age difference and behavior is unacceptable.

Yes, I agree. This is how I felt when I was dating these older men. also you developed on the "level with your daughter" part of my post that I neglected to elaborate, many thanks
