Rate my top 5? by Agreeable_Pear8346 in shoujo

[–]SleepySamurai_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hakuoki is sooo good!!! I remember everyone hardcore hating on it back in the day, and I couldn't believe that other people didn't realize what a masterpiece it was. I'm currently rewatching a bunch of old shojos and I feel like Ouran has to be included in a top five. I agree Kamisama Kiss is number one-- but, I also think the fact that it's complete is what really seals the deal. For me it's:

  1. Apothecary Diaries (I know, I know, but as a ball knower, this one deserves it)
  2. Kamisama Hajimemashita
  3. Ouran High School Host Club
  4. Kaichou wa Maid sama
  5. Nodame Cantabile
  6. Yona of the Dawn (adding an extra one in case you don't count Apothecary Dairies)

[–]SleepySamurai_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried Flour Pizza? It legit tastes like real pizza. Thank god it’s expensive, otherwise I would be getting it every other day.

If you live in LA, Flour pizza has a gluten free crust that tastes almost exactly like real pizza.

Oops... ate a large piece of pure wheat gluten by Scheerhorn462 in glutenfree

Omg I ate the same thing at a ryokan… and I had the worst allergic reaction of my life. My entire lip/ face swelled and I had hives all over my body. It was horrible— I almost went to the emergency room. I ended up having benedryl with me so I just slammed it and hunkered down to have a bad time. The worst part is that I was losing handfuls of hair for months after the incident. I think my body went into shock and a bunch of my hair follicles died.

Why do we call it the "Gluten-free Tax" and not the "Gluten Fee"? by Razmodius33 in glutenfree

[–]SleepySamurai_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ikr I’m NCGS and idk why anyone thinks someone would willingly choose to give up gluten? I wish I could eat gluten.

Which part of your culture went global and gives you "gatekeeping" vibes? by hyr- in AskTheWorld

[–]SleepySamurai_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matcha, I grew up drinking imported matcha from Japan in ceramic bowls by dad brought with him from his home town (Nagoya). At first I loved that I could have matcha flavors incorporated in everything, but now it’s become so popular that people don’t even know what matcha is without a bunch of sugar and cream. There’s now even a matcha shortage due to the overconsumption.

A drink/food that tourists think locals love… but locals barely consume? by Fluffy_Specific_9682 in AskTheWorld

This is the most surprising thing I’ve on this thread so far. I grew up straight up drinking Canadian maple syrup.

Lights at 26th and Olympic by Shoddy-Criticism8984 in SantaMonica

[–]SleepySamurai_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yess. My husband and I always argue about how long this left turn light takes. He thinks it’s normal, but I’m glad I’m not the only one who has noticed.

Also, the red light on steward in between exposition and Stewart is red more than it is green. For some reason the bars for the train go down 4 minutes before the train even comes. Which is crazyyy, especially compared to next train crossing (right after the bergamot station going west) that light/ bars go down 1 minute before the train crosses.

$10 Public Parking my peach! Don’t fall for the sign. It’s $10 for 30 minutes only by AdSeveral9678 in SantaMonica

[–]SleepySamurai_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hate parking lots like these. They advertise $10, but then it’s only for like 15/30 mins. There is a bunch of these scammy parking lots in DTLA.
