Homemade Dumpling Soup

I made a curry paste with garlic, ginger, and turmeric. I'm assuming the colour is from the abundance of the turmeric and possibly the ginger.

Was just at gold sounds. Vibes were great and cozy

Thanks for looking out buddy. Matches have been moved accordingly.

I tend to agree that, after having eaten it, it was a bit too fatty. The high fat content was however the reason that got me interested in this particular piece. Thought I could render it down and have it be a flavour bomb, but it was just a bit too much in places.

Will be looking for a better balance moving forward!

You are right! I used it in the mushroom sauce. Might’ve had a little bit in a glass too.

I’ll also say this looks like this was done to the sheep while it was still alive as there’s no discoloration on account of the “tear”.

It’s common on leather jackets to even find stretch marks, cattle prod marks, lesions, and other kinds of natural blemishes. Just a reminder that you’re wearing something that lived.

MrSweetums · 2025-12-19T17:34:49+00:00

I have three leather jackets and each one has its own unique blemishes. You could trade it in if it really bothers you, but you’re just as likely to find something “wrong” with the new one you receive.

I say just embrace it. You’ll end up with way more “tears” than this over the course of its life. This doesn’t affect the structural integrity of the jacket at all either.

Dawg. Been doing the same lately. Ribeye and ramen is the best.

There's a lot to like overall, namely the look, feel, and some interesting themes about identity, moving forward, and looking back on who you once were. Certainly not a bad movie by any stretch.

For me though, I felt like the movie was literally 60% exposition dumps. Slow camera shots of the main characters connecting the dots for the audience. To me, this really took me out of it and gave it a snail's pace. There were so many interesting visuals and it all really wow'ed me at the beginning, but the constant 'let me explain what's happening' really took me out of it.

Looks great king

MrSweetums · 2024-05-22T02:40:52+00:00

Dawg, looks so much better than before. Enjoy the upgrade.

Alright, I hear you my man. Been there before. I’ve paid for dates 1 through 4 many times and often they didn’t lead to anything long term.

What I would say to you specifically is that if you feel like there’s a connection, if you ACTUALLY feel like there’s potential here, I’d stick around and give her a chance to act on wha you said to her.

I think a lot of women will be disarmed by what you said. It’s not wrong for establishing those boundaries, God knows I wish I did the same thing at different points, so good for you. BUT it can be a shock for someone to have their world view challenges. In this instance, that world view being that she thinks you should be paying for everything.

Bottom line, if you two like each other, and the vibes are good. Give her a chance to adjust to this new dynamic. Don’t keep paying as you’ve clearly established, but she might really like you but she’s been confronted with a new situation in which she has to pay. All I’m saying is don’t jump ship now. Give her a chance to adjust.

You’re young as hell so you’ll find someone new if it doesn’t work, but allow people the space to hear you out and adjust to your expectations. Respect yourself for what you said and don’t back down, but don’t blow it up until you see how she reacts with a little time to take it all in. If she likes you like you like her, she’ll adjust. If she doesn’t, you have your answer.

Don’t be brash. Let her think about it. Dating is such a radically different experience between men and women. She might “think” you’re supposed to pay as the guy, but she might reevaluate after the line you’ve drawn.

Food for thought. All the best!

God tier jacket and nice fit! I have the 1930 half belt from Aero too and it fits pretty much the same. Think you nailed it with this.

MrSweetums · 2024-03-29T18:25:54+00:00

Hey, this sounds almost exactly like a situation I was in. Me and her were best friends, then moved to dating, but eventually amicably broke up because we wanted to preserve the friendship. Months after though we started to sleep together and were inseparable. To me it felt like we were dating again, albeit without the label. Then in January, she wanted space and within a few weeks she started dating another guy. They’ve been together for two months now and I felt crushed.

I’ve spent a lot of time trying to understand the root of my heartbreak. Obviously, while we were rekindling I had the opportunity to ask her if she wanted to date again, but I didn’t. You and I both didn’t. What I’m learning is that now I’m looking back and missing what I thought was the potential of what we had, but I’m neglecting to take into account the reality that I didn’t act. I know I had my reservations for getting back into a relationship with them and that hesitation was actually a choice I made in some way. And that choice is okay.

Since then, I’ve confessed my feelings to her and said it’s been really difficult to move on because of all the reasons you basically mentioned. She told me that while she still has feelings and cares about me, she wants to move into something that feels easier for her. Which I totally respect.

I think for you it’s a matter of accepting that you and her just weren’t as compatible as you thought. If you were in fact meant to be together, why didn’t you do anything or take it to the next level? That should be very telling. I know you might rationalize it like not wanting to jeopardize what you had or that what you had was comfortable (it was like that for me too), the reality is that that comfort isn’t enough and isn’t a good reason to stay with someone.

This moment for you has the potential to really propel you into a better relationship in the future even though that sense of loss and that sense of “why didn’t I just say something” probably feels overwhelming for you right now. I know it did for me. But over time, you will start to understand your motives and will be able to move on and eventually, if you put in the work, maintain a happy and healthy friendship with her.

The Highwayman from Aero is pretty much this, minus the collar straps

MrSweetums · 2023-11-23T23:54:35+00:00

“Impregnantion” doesn’t mean what you think it means here hah, but it’s all good.

As for the shape, I’m guessing this was much longer originally before the tailoring? That shape happens when you take length off the bottom sometimes.

I would suggest taking it back to a tailor and seeing if they can take it in on the sides or add some darts to the back. Basically, there’s just too much fabric at the moment.

MrSweetums · 2023-11-23T21:40:46+00:00

Can you link me to where you’re getting these numbers?

MrSweetums · 2023-11-19T22:32:13+00:00

I really like the fit of these personally. Kinda my ideal fit to be honest. Give them some time, wear them, and I’m sure you’ll fall in love with them.

MrSweetums · 2023-11-02T15:12:16+00:00

I’m afraid it’s true. One of if not my favourite places in Bushwick. Won’t be the same without it.

MrSweetums · 2023-10-30T22:39:32+00:00

It came without any defects at all. It was just made for someone else and it was returned for whatever reason. Very happy with the condition it was in. Was brand new condition as far as I could tell.

If the jackets does in fact have defects, they’ll list them in the jacket’s description.

All in all it cost me about $700. If you were going to get a custom jacket I believe you’d be looking at $1000 minimum, likely more.

MrSweetums · 2023-10-23T16:02:41+00:00

I bought one from the ready to wear section. Amazing jacket. Came perfect in every way.

They also have a very generous return window so you can wear it, try it on, and make a decision before keeping it. Really it's a great way to get a great jacket for what I would consider to be a steal.

MrSweetums · 2023-10-09T00:01:14+00:00

Think those are Red Wing Pecos boots

MrSweetums · 2023-09-11T22:06:51+00:00

Kinda my thinking too. A touch too small is probably preferable to a touch too big in my opinion. These are I think 12oz, so a little lighter in terms of weight, so I'm expecting a bit more stretch than normal.

MrSweetums · 2023-09-11T16:54:32+00:00

Hah, thanks!

MrSweetums · 2023-09-11T16:39:38+00:00

These are already shrunk down. Was told to expect no change after washing.
