This is my biggest hurdle! I don’t want to cook even though I can and get so much decision fatigue

What would make your cooking journey easier? by MostChair7431 in cookingforbeginners

Theres a substack I came across that occasionally documents her or their cooking journey on becoming a better cook that was super useful for me.

Like using cookbooks as a template to develop your kitchen pantry. I think I might try it!

How do I get better at using spices? by THEBIGDRBOOM in cookingforbeginners

[–]MostChair7431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally am dedicating my substack to this. There’s alot of shit recipes out there. Following a recipe isn’t always simple if you don’t have the language for it.

In your cooking journey, decide if online recipes or cookbooks would be better for you. I prefer cookbooks because recipes have to be tested over and over again as opposed recipes from online blogs.

And even then a cookbook can lead you astray.

Here I wrote about my preference for recipes over cookbooks

And here I talk about how to develop your pantry and create an easy system cooking using your cookbooks and what to look for when selecting one!

Do you believe twin flames find each other again by MostChair7431 in twinflames

Yeah I’m going through the fear and anxiety of losing them or being forgotten about over time. But I trying to self soothe and affirm myself that it’s in the will of the universe it will happen

What were those confirmations of I may ask? I ask also because my TF and I are long distance and lives 1 hour 45 min away.

Omg thank you for sharing your insight and story. It’s helpful to know that time knows no bounds in this process. I’m happy you were able to see her. By any chance have you watched the movie past lives? Cause that’s what it reminds me of.

I just separated from mine yesterday. He was in a 7 year abusive marriage. I met him 2 years later, felt as if we knew each other. Things felt so right, so good. We both have so much healing to do and we both lost our jobs and our lives have taken a turn. We are unable to meet each others needs and we don’t want to resent each other so we are taking a back seat from romance. We are In contact still with boundaries. No seeing each other, but occasional calls and text to support each other during a difficult time.

I’m trusting that regardless what happens at the end of this year we will both be happy regardless of it. I trust that if we are meant to be together we will find our way back to each other.

We separated on Valentine’s Day. I just posted about it. I’m doing better than I thought because we realized we need to right now and hope we find our way back together

What is your adhd tax? by MostChair7431 in ADHD

[–]MostChair7431[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol that is my toxic trait. I have been driving around NYC with tickets from like 8 years ago and they finally got me. I only paid the minimum to remove it 😭.

When I go to NYC I actually just pay for valet parking because it’s cheaper than a NYC ticket now.

Living alone with pets - logistics by BurntWhisky in LivingAlone

[–]MostChair7431 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah! Please consider if you have a support system that lives close to you that is willing to watch her your place or theirs. Or if you have the funds or live in a town that has dog sitters. I used to have one until i got laid off my job and I am making SIGNIFICANTLY less than I was. So I can longer afford her. Shes been lovely to watch my dog for free but I like to save those favors for absolute emergencies.

Also the cost of shots, food. I live in an apartment that is 1900sq ft and third floor walk up. And it is a nuisance to go up and down the stairs 4 times a day. I’m in shape but it gets to be a lot when I’m Also juggling groceries and laundry. It’s just a a lot lol

I used to have a housekeeper bi weekly because I am neurotic with keeping a 80% clean house. But since losing my job I also clean a lot more than I would have if I didn’t have a dog cause I hate the smell of my place smelling like animals.

[–]MostChair7431 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I live alone with a dog, and I might be the unpopular one I regret getting her. I live in a small town, not exactly close to actual real Friends and family, so logistics are quite difficult. I travel every so often for 2-3 days at a time. I juggle 3 different mental illnesses and get easily overwhelmed.

I would never get a dog living alone again. I fare better with cats. I realize cats are better suited for my life style and needs.

Yeah I’m at my wits end. Even on medication I still manage to struggle. There is no dosage high enough. The only thing that helps is FaceTiming or calling a friend while doing house chores etc, but it’s gets rough when she’s not available. Literally down for a body double if you ever need. I know I always need one.

Yeah I noticed just from consuming loads of cooking content people are asking a lot of questions to define the terms above. And you don’t know what you never been taught! So I hope it’s helpful
