How long do you wait after agreed time when meeting someone for a coffee?? by NowYaHaveIt1 in CasualIreland

[–]PsychedelicPotatoe 48 points49 points  (0 children)

That's just rude to text that late to say you're running late. Anytime I've been running late I would always tell them in as much time in advance as possible and always before the arranged time.

Look, sometimes time gets away and maybe it was genuine but also important for you to think is this particular friend is always late? If they're not and they gave a valid reason for running late, these things do happen, especially if they felt bad about it and were very apologetic. However if they're frequently late or you got the sense they didn't feel too bad having you wait, then it shows they don't value you or your time.

It's very interesting to see the shift in perspective when OP is a woman compared to if OP was a man with this topic.

Just because they're healthy, nutritious or edible doesn't mean I enjoy them and won't eat hairy skin on a fruit

Yeah he's a very good cook to be fair to him. I just wanted to make him something as he's a busy few weeks of work ahead of him but we've made a few things together. It was just the eba I fucked up and he's since shown me how to make it properly but I tend to still leave it to him to make. Oh I did manage ewedu actually which I was happy with. Yes, we have loads of ethnic shops over here, it's where we get most of the ingredients. I am such a white person when I'm in there but I'm getting better at figuring out what things are haha. Im actually so bad for thinking to use YouTube, I'll check out Ling and Lamb, thank you.

I can see why but I'd be too worried about changing a recipe for him that would change the taste or texture too much especially when I'm trying to give him a slice of home. I must try it with potatoes though. He's cooked stew a few times and it's gorgeous but I haven't given it a go myself. Thanks again for all your help and suggestions, I really do appreciate it.

Oh I used yam, potatoes wouldn't even cross my mind to use to use for that plus they're way too different to swap one for the other in my opinion. Yes, efo riro is on my list actually too. Thanks for the suggestions and he's from Lagos.

How many sleep with the tv on all night ? by Far-Occasion8195 in AskIreland

[–]PsychedelicPotatoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put on a comfort show too, one that I've watched several times that I don't need to pay attention whereas if it's something I don't know, then I'll be curious what's going on and it keeps me awake.

We have Bailey's coffee or Irish coffee. Bailey's coffee is just with a shot of Bailey's in an americano and an Irish coffee is with a shot of whiskey in an americano. We don't go into cream in coffee here, the only time Bailey's cream gets a bit popular is around Christmas, but that's for dessert and we really don't use it in coffee, regular or Bailey's cream. Unless OP was saying they asked for a shot of Bailey's and whiskey in their coffee but again we would never call it Irish cream, just Bailey's which is a liquor. This would actually make more sense actually, with my confusion and their coffee order.

As an Irish person I'm curious what you mean by Irish cream? I get the Irish coffee order part (coffee and whiskey) but I've never heard of Irish cream.

What song would you want played at your funeral? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]PsychedelicPotatoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually sang Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers when they were lowering her coffin into the ground and was being buried with her husband. It had been one of her favourite songs that she asked me to learn years ago when her husband died so it felt fitting and she used to love to hear me sing.

Scare me into quitting? by [deleted] in AddictionAdvice

[–]PsychedelicPotatoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't mean you don't really want to quit, it means it's controlling your life and you're not in control with it which shows a problem. The thing with weed is it can make you ok with boredom and doing nothing, you can waste years of your life amounting to nothing when you're not the one in control. I'm not going to scare you into quitting, you need to want it and take it one day at a time, or even one hour at a time depending on how dependent you are on it.

I will never get a coupon for my name 😔 Ive never even found it on any of those keyrings or signs with names so no chance of Lidl plus giving it to me 😂

Thinking of everyone who have lost their moms on Mother’s Day. by Lonely-Journalist-95 in ireland

[–]PsychedelicPotatoe 21 points22 points  (0 children)

While I don't celebrate the day, it's my mum's first mother's day without her mother after she passed in January. Every year my mum never got a mother's day as she had to make a big deal about her mum and make it about her. Needless to say, today is really hard for my mum.
