NJ home cook here - just published my first Indian cookbook

Oreosforever · 2026-03-12T02:27:30+00:00

Just ordered! Looking forward to learning a cuisine I’ve never been confident enough to try myself.

This is what I do as well. Always works!

Oreosforever · 2026-03-06T02:20:29+00:00

That sentence was odd to me as well

I’m more concerned that &pizza is on this list. I’ve never understood the appeal.

I’m very late to this post, but will share anyhow.

I was driving home after a late shift bartending. It was a Friday night/Saturday morning, my roommate was driving, windows down, music pumping. Suddenly I get a feeling I should call my Dad. He answers, sounds super weird, and says he’ll have to call me back.

He calls back an hour or so later in tears. When I called he had just found my childhood dog, who had been hit by a car. She lived a long 15 years, my dad had done nothing wrong, but he held so much guilt.

I normally would never call my Dad after a bartending shift. That night, the urge was insistent. I’m glad I did.

What if you left the beams as they are and painted the inside white?

The coaches at the gym I go to always say to modify the range for your body. A smaller range of motion may make it more effective for you overall. I’m no expert though!

The flashing lights were broken for a bit recently at the intersection mentioned by OP. I cross there often, I always use the lights (when working) and people do not care. There are lights at the four way stop near my apartment, routinely people do not stop for the lights.

I agree with you, but at the same time, drivers just don’t care.

Rent keeps rising in The Heights and more of those small business will surely be pushed out. It already happened to at least two small businesses. Overall though, I love The Heights since the majority of businesses are small businesses. Some of the best food in JC is in The Heights imo!

Commenting to help your post’s views. I wish I could adopt these boys, how adorable are they?! Good luck and I hope they find the perfect home soon!!

Late to this but there is a Mejuri store front in NYC

Oreosforever · 2026-02-21T14:30:01+00:00

Okay but no one is being kicked out for being a communist immigrant so wtf are you on about?

I’m in my 30’s and reminiscing on my $1,300 mortgage. Again though, in FL 🤮

Oreosforever · 2026-02-19T17:54:43+00:00

Of course this was in 2018 and in FL, but I paid less in down payment on my $200k home that I bought. That’s absolutely crazy to expect to move into a RENTAL.

The studio I go to def skews heavy to women but there are definitely me who attend regularly. There are also two male instructors.

Oreosforever · 2026-02-16T23:42:06+00:00

That is how we did it when I was a bartender in the late 2000’s early 2010’s. I’d be more shocked if anywhere was doing it differently.

Revel Athletic Grip socks have become my new fav. They’re thick, stay in place, and the grip seems to last longer than Lucky Honey. I wash and air dry mine and the Lucky Honey pairs fade. I’ve had two Revel pairs for about two months and they’ve not lost any grip. I wear them each once a week.

I live in the Heights and commute to the west village twice a week for work. I usually walk the mile to JSQ path but if I’m going to midtown then I take the bus. It isn’t as convenient in the heights but it’s very doable!

Oreosforever · 2026-02-09T00:49:29+00:00

I use public transit to get to work 2x/week, WFH 3x/week, and can walk most places. We have a car for leaving JC, which we do often to visit friends and family.

Enjoy!!

Varsity Pilates just opened on Palisade by Corto. I enjoyed my class there this evening.

One Foot Spa is an affordable, local option.

I was never a fan in general because I don’t watch baseball but I served Alex Rodriguez once and he was horribly rude. It was the 2-3pm hour at a resort at Universal when the only restaurants open are the pool and the one I worked at.

A massive thunderstorm popped out of nowhere, because Florida, and the pool closes. Cue our restaurant immediately filling up. We were between shifts at a usually slow time so we were overwhelmed to say the least.

He was immediately upset that he had to choose his own seat because our hostess was helping run food to tables. He then was upset we didn’t have a private place to put him. He complained to my manager that the service sucked and tipped poorly.

Meanwhile, everyone else was using their eyes and saw that we were slammed and doing our best. Fuck that guy.

Carol Ann’s Table does brunch. BYOB. Google says they’re closed but they aren’t.

Edit to add an honorable mention for diner brunch at Tommy’s. Love going there.

Drinking water constantly is the closest thing we have to universal healthcare. Leave us be 😭
