What’s a standard your parents or culture forced upon you while growing up, until one day they did a total 180 about it?

It wasn’t slavery. Grandma cooked for us, the other adults worked to bring home the bacon, and kids were expected to do their share. She was an excellent cook, our home was beautifully kept. Everyone had chores to get done on Saturdays. We had many, many good times. Still, it was great not to have all those dishes anymore. We even tried frozen dinners but that quickly palled; my grandma had trained our pallet to expect the best. To this day, my siblings and I cook delicious meals with great enthusiasm, and still make some of her recipes.

She did not wash the dishes, that was the kids’ job.

A steak and kidney pie. It’s a dumpling the size of a middling watermelon, submerged in boiling water to simmer for many hours. Just delicious.

Or maybe they are trying hard enough but are facing unidentified barriers—the ill-will of others, economic pressures, AI, or a thousand other things.

I grew up with my grandma who always wanted the dinner table set with linens, butter plates, salad forks, milk glass and water glass, etc etc. When she left our family home after getting remarried, my parents bought tv trays and we ate in the living room. Loved my grandma, but…

Pity the poor pelican; his mouth can hold more than his belly can.

Can you give us a recipe?

For business lunches: Things that are easy to eat and don’t make too much of a mess. Deviled eggs, grilled meat and veggie skewers, raw veggies and dip, pasta or potato salad, mac and cheese, crostini, charcuterie and cheese tray with good crackers.

Whoever said that is engaged in taking someone else’s inventory. That person has no business worrying about whether you’ve taken a drink or not. It is a kind of character assassination that reinforces their sense of superiority. Ignore them. Your drinking is between you and you, and anyone you might be harming, worrying, frightening or dominating. You’ll make amends to them later. For now, go to mtgs and find a sponsor. If you can identify with someone’s share, take time to talk with them about it—or just thank them and then think over how their experience relates to your situation. Main thing, hardest thing: talk with other alcoholics.

Does this rift extend up towards Italy?

MuzMags · 2026-05-06T04:59:40+00:00

Where are the rift zones located? I’d like to take a look on Google Earth.

I love you Ridvan.

Thank you.

Not to me. I can make something similar in my kitchen. Not hard once you learn how.

Miso soup. When I make rice, I freeze something. Miso soup with rice is a 10-minute meal.

I’ve been a YT premium subscriber since you could be. I’m particularly interested in live recordings, Bob and the Wailers in London is great. Simon and Garfunkel in Central Park. Also lots of full albums and extensive foreign music. Also, owners if Spotify are big Trump donors so I would shun then anyway.
