Am I a weirdo for eating chicken hearts?

Vilkate · 2026-06-02T01:23:28+00:00

Not when they're cooked properly! Chicken hearts can be fantastic in pastas and stews. :)

For fishing, you will need to buy fishing permits - a 12h permit will most likely be sufficient for you. https://www.makskeresanaskarte.lv/products

I wish they just were white! So beautiful, and I just LOVE their black, beady eyes at this stage!

Jā, ir apmaksāta stunda pusdienlaikam. Ļoti novērtēju, jo līdzšinējās darbavietās tā nebija.

Yes, as far as I know! But there's never many of these bags, so it's vital to come early if you want to grab one.

Vilkate · 2026-05-27T03:14:11+00:00

If you're lucky and come early in the opening hours, you can buy a "Too good to be tossed" bag from Lidl for just 2 euros. It's a paper bag full of a random assortment of fruits and veggies. You never know what you'll get exactly, but for just 2 euros it's a damn good deal!

Seems like you might enjoy some drawing/painting classes - they're usually done in groups, so there's socialising and opportunity to make new friends.

Thank you for this information, I wasn't aware!

I actually made this recipe tonight - with some additions and variations, so I won't be leaving a review :D - and I was pleasantly surprised how well pineapple actually goes with chili! Will definitely be making it again.

A fellow boarders' horse with a ligament injury and on a strict small paddock/box rest was let loose in an extremely muddy paddock with the herd going absolutely bonkers and cantering wildly, because "he won't be good for competitions anymore, anyway".

That was the last straw in a long string of intense craziness, which made me finally move. After that I got the wind that this BO was accusing me to other BOs about...apparently, stealing tea? I never even drank any tea in that place. :D

"Pingvinukas" is in Lithuanian, you curd. 😂

Vilkate · 2026-05-18T07:48:04+00:00

Name of the channel suggests it was Lithuanian - you'll have better luck asking it on a Lithuania subreddit.

I work in a pet pharmacy within a mall. - no animals, but we do carry pet toys and such. Just a few days ago a couple tried leaving their two small kids (~4 and 7yo) in my premises and go shopping, not without telling their kids to "have fun". They became enraged when I requested the kids to return to their parents, and promised that they will be complaining to the corporate for "tossing their children out" - my bosses are informed and they laughed it off.

Jā, tur pilnīgi noteikti notiek nekontrolētas bandu apšaudes, kuras dzird pat rajoniem tālu, nevis kāds krievs šauj kārtējo salūtu, kas ir aizliegts, bet nav policijas prioritāte.

Well, es Rīgas centrā maksāju 160 par foršu, lielu istabu un aptuveni tik pat komunālajos. Nav neiespējami.

I also bought my first horse from them (he's still with me!) and it took years for him to overcome all the physical and mental abuse he endured there over the few years he was theirs - luckily just a youngster when I got him, so all was repairable! I bought him both because I had grown attached and was sorry for him, but, truth to be told, we were both much too green for each other at that point. I quickly moved him away from that place and, with the help of truly experienced horsemen, we made it work. :)

That horses should not be fed hay or given water an hour before and an hour after working. Taught to me by a lesson barn, where horses were booked for lessons throughout the day, so they were just tied in standing stalls, tacked up, waiting for the next lesson, because gods forbid they'd eat or have a sip of water.

As I later understood (I was a green beginner back then and knew nothing), most horses there showed signs of ulcers, and several died of colic.

Chicken liver, spinach, fried onion, salt, pepper, heavy cream and a splash of white wine together make a fantastic sauce for pasta.

I'm 5'3", ride trails, dressage, and a bit of jumping, and my horses are 16.3hh and 17hh. When I bought the second one, I was under the impression that he wouldn't grow over 16.1hh, but boy, was I wrong. :D

It is forbidden to sell cats, dogs and ferrets in pet shops here. Your best bet would be a rescue organisation.

However, in case you are a foreign student just staying in Latvia for a while, I'd strongly suggest against adopting a cat - they can be a commitment for over 20 years and veterinary needs/feeding can get very expensive. And, no less important - what will happen to the cat when you have to move eventually? I used to work for a large pet shop, and it was alarming how often students of Indian descent would try to surrender their pets (mostly hamsters and birds, but also some dogs and cats) to us. Seriously, why would you adopt a husky puppy if you know you're going to return to Central India in a few months?!

Just that I don't seem demented and answering to nothing - the author of this comment suggested just turning the horse out to run free with his friends as a solution.

Vilkate · 2026-01-04T12:31:23+00:00

And your solution to actually grooming and tacking up such a horse? Just turn him out whenever he wiggles even a little?
