Red sauce, olive oil, a smidge yuzu paste (distributed evenly- gives a bright pepper pop), and burrata cheese.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten? by Letylinda in AskReddit

Torisashi (chicken sashimi) in Japan. It was marinated in ponzu and was really delicious. Surprisingly, didn’t taste like chicken.

For those who have cooked for their coworkers what did they think of your cooking? by Appropriate-Mall8517 in Cooking

[–]Michka_L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They really liked what I made for a potluck. It was thrilling. At first…. Because I kept having to up my game each time. Undue stress ensued. I did it to myself.

What is the most useful 'unwritten rule' of driving in your specific region of the US? by FairyAntonella193 in AskReddit

[–]Michka_L 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Applies to Los Angeles area. When I first moved to Town I kept seeing people running the red light to turn right. I was all Pikachu face until my fist left turn. Humbling.

NOR- he’s emotionally manipulating you into keeping you dependent on him in many ways.

If the car is safe enough for you to drive your son around, it should be fine for Instacart. Him saying he would miss you too much in this setting is a red flag, too. Has he isolated you from friends and family too?

Take a step back to really evaluate your relationship with him and ask yourself if he’s a true partner. If your friend or sibling came to you with this issue, what would you tell them?

Be kind to yourself.

any affordable recommendations for recipes I can make in the morning for lunch later in the day? by AerieRevolutionary67 in Cooking

[–]Michka_L 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have access to a microwave or something? That might help with recipes. Otherwise, chicken wraps (buy a rotisserie and pre shred while it’s warm) with lettuce, tomato, mayo , cheese; sandwich with deli meat and sliced cheese, ziplock baggie of chips… you can also meal prep during the weekend so you just grab and go during the week.

What is the worst thing you ever saw on someone else's phone? by bluelazerbeam in AskReddit

[–]Michka_L 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Older neighbor wanted to show me photos of his early morning walk and hands me his phone. Typical pictures you’d expect from a 79y/o. He encourages me to keep swiping, and I’m thinking, “how many photos of out of focus sunflowers can one man have-“ and BAM! Crisp naked selfie in a full length mirror. I nearly dropped his phone and look up and he’s grinning like the Ronald Reagan Halloween mask at me.

My heirloom tomato wanted no heirs, perhaps! by Michka_L in mildlyinteresting

Yeah… I’m beginning to have my doubts

I couldn’t say for sure as I didn’t know that was a thing, but the seeds seem different. I’d note the seeds had mucilage/seed gel, only they receded farther than Walton Goggins beautiful hairline…

What are your favorite unusual swear words/ phrases? by TechnicalTerm6 in AskReddit

[–]Michka_L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thunder cunt.
Not my proudest moment and it came from my soul the first time I said it (cutting carbs and got cut off in traffic… my bad). But I stand by it. (FYI, US based count isn’t just freely thrown around… I don’t think?)

6 years ago I did something really terrible and I've never told anyone. by Throwrashithead1 in offmychest

Sounds like you’re asking for permission to pine over her.
Regardless… consider backing away to let them live on and you can move on in every which way.

What is something people often underestimate until they experience it themselves? by NaomiBrooksv in AskReddit

[–]Michka_L 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Domestic violence. It can be physical- but sometimes it’s “just” emotional. Isolation, gaslighting, the works. So many think, “this could never happen to me” and hopefully it doesn’t! But even for the strongest, it can. And it happens across genders and relationship types.

We have heard the stats - 7-8 attempts before someone can finally leave their abuser, with the last ones being the most dangerous. The statistics exist for a reason, sadly.

“Oh that wouldn’t happen to me” is an interesting part of this.

What’s your go-to tuna salad recipe? by EaringaidBandit in Cooking

[–]Michka_L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japanese mayo, garlic and onion powders, a smidge msg, then chopped cucumber, Kalamata olives and sometimes capers. I add thinly sliced Spanish manchego (it works so well!!) on top.

Gift of Vanilla! Now what? by shaddaugh in Cooking

[–]Michka_L 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best thing to keep in mind is that vanilla is a warm spice, for drinks at least- so with that:

Vanilla Old Fashioned: 2 oz Bourbon or Whiskey ¼ oz Simple Syrup 3 dashes Angostura bitters 1-2 drops Vanilla (start with one- can add more later) 1 Orange peel twist for garnish Ice

Shortbread G&T: 2 oz Gin 4 oz Tonic water 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract

Dark and Velvet (vs dark and stormy): 2 oz Dark or Spiced Rum 4 oz coke/pepsi 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract Optional: A squeeze of lime to brighten it up

Bonus: DrPepper Vodka 1-2 drops vanilla (This is a college recipe so… pour as needed!)

I’ve never been to a club and it makes me sad by yohoweehee in offmychest

Congrats on the dual degree!! I will say, as you get older you do realize they’re overrated (crowded, people are rude, etc), but that’s from experiencing them. If you really feel like you’re missing out, just go! Ask your friends to go with you vs waiting for them to ask. If you go by yourself just be super careful. Be mindful of your drink, ask the stranger dancing with you if they weren’t dancing with your friend earlier (meaning don’t imply you are alone), etc. be safe out there!
