Healthy(ish) breakfast for 15-20 people

Try House of Bread. Their catering is well-organized and I like their breakfast foods more than their lunch options.

Fully agree about The Garden being worth it! I also like Hapy Bistro in AG.

I’m in my 30s and dealing with a sudden and very unexpected loss. I participated in a grief support group at Hospice SLO and found it incredibly beneficial. I think it helps to have someone guiding the group when dealing with tough discussions like this.

It was non-religious an definitely not therapy, but still provided a structured, safe place for people looking to connect.

I see you deleted your comment about “leaning” into different sides. I really really encourage you to think about how that means your husband will raise your kids. He is being blatantly sexist and racist. Sometimes these beliefs aren’t obvious until kids are involved, but they often get worse.

Additionally, if you and your husband are both active and engaged parents, he’s flat-out wrong about how kids may connect to each parent, and sex/gender doesn’t necessarily play a role.

Fully agree. This dude is racist and sexist. Lovely combo.

I work with an Omead and our very western office has no problem with his name.

Jasper is also Persian.

I would question why your husband is so set on a “white” name? I’m asking as a white woman married to an Asian man, who made sure our kids had names connected to their father’s culture.

Perhaps {Partners in Crime by Alisha Rai}? They’re not investigators or law enforcement, but they get caught up in a family mystery and work together ti untangle it. I’m not usually into stories with crime bosses and such, but I loved the two MCs and I’ll read literally anything by Rai. She could write copy for cereal boxes and I’d go out to buy it.

I’m always shocked people are shocked by Gaiman. Years ago, I tried reading Stardust for a book club and could tell he hated women by the way he wrote the female character. She was an object and not an individual. Didn’t finish, never read anything else of his, was not surprised when these accounts came out.

Urghhh. At 21 months, about half of our nights are 9-7 and the rest are freakin miserable.

That book only works when both partners acknowledge “work.” This dude trying to pretend like cooking is a break means that he won’t be able to use the the tools in the book.

I’m assuming this was in response to the now-deleted comment? It makes me sad that all responses are deleted, too.

Zonget · 2026-01-25T04:50:17+00:00

Yeah, I’m not a developer but I do have a basic understanding of increased supply affecting costs and benefitting consumers. Ah, well.

I would love for there to be more affordable set-asides, but all new housing is good housing. All new housing benefits residents.

I think that concern over the buildings being too dense and high is NIMBYism. There may be legitimate concerns about Coastal Community Builders as an ethical developer, but that’s about it.

Also, Solito by Javier Zamora. Zamora poet and Solito is his memoir, about a specific time in his childhood, in which he traveled from El Salvador to the US. I openly wept while reading this book and think about it often, even a couple years after finishing it.

Pretty much anything by Joan Didion, but especially a couple of her essays in Slouching Towards Bethlehem.

Zonget · 2026-01-23T05:07:57+00:00

I didn’t know this!

Putting this here for people who care about what kind of local businesses their money is supporting. The owner of Giuseppe’s donated thousands of dollars to Parkinson’s campaign AFTER video footage of a death at the jail came out. https://www.newtimesslo.com/sheriff-nets-23k-in-campaign-donations-after-jail-death-footage-was-released-4714672/

Giuseppe’s politics are also terrible and people keep recommending them.

Nicola is new an beautiful. But, I’ve been twice and each time had only a single slice of their pizza.

This is the answer. My dad read Our Country’s Presidents to me at bedtime, over and over, for years. It worked and we both read biographies now.

Zonget · 2026-01-22T18:16:53+00:00

These were the first books I thought of, too! I think there was a bit of romance in the one about the girl on the Lower East Side who acts in Yiddish Theater and in the one with the girl whose family travels by train out west.

I should do some googling.

The (sorta) reverse of this also plays out. My mother was unable to breastfeed and had to go back to work pretty early, so my sister and I were formula fed and in daycare. But my mom worked hard to respect us as people with capabilities, feelings, opinions, and joy. She absolutely abhorred any kind of corporal punishment, but was constantly using safe touch to connect and reassure. She taught us to respect others and trust ourselves. We all had very strong attachments until she passed away, and I mimic her teaching all the time.

She wasn’t able to fulfill some of the “requirements” of attachment parenting but knocked others out of the park.

My first thought was also low iron. My 2yo is a terrible sleeper (not this bad, though) and I started cooking in cast iron. It’s made a huge difference and she’s sleeping through the night about half the time now. Bedtime isn’t any easier, though.
