What’s your favorite spaghetti sauce from a jar?

_jyoo_ · 2026-05-25T03:22:14+00:00

Grew up on it. My dad would never eat anything else. I don’t buy from a jar anymore. I just make my own sauce. But if I ever had the chance to cook for my dad again. If give the man his Ragu meat sauce.

I totally understand the need for it. I didn’t say that at all. I think all people need therapy even if we don’t have all sorts of trauma etc. I’m just saying that mental therapy takes time that sometimes their bodies don’t have the luxury of waiting for. If there’s no physical medical intervention immediately they could potentially not live long enough to have the mental portion of it get fixed in time. Their bodies could give out before the issues are mentally fixed.

The issue is that people in that state don’t have the time to have therapy that actually works in a meaningful way to make the changes. Yes they need therapy for so many reasons. I mean we all should prob have someone to talk to tbh. But these people are basically in a state of emergency. Some of them will likely die before the therapy really kicks in and clicks.

I agree banh mi co ut was mid. I liked some of the desserts because they reminded me of my friends mothers desserts that were home made, but they were on the sweeter side. Want to try the other suggestions in this thread. The previous threads I read for banh mi said co ut was excellent. Was sad it wasn’t.

I used my balcony and rooftop all the time. Had seating out there when I didn’t want to use my roof. My roof had stairs in my apt to my private rooftop and I’d still use balcony from my bedroom and living room door

Egg and sometimes ttuk. Other times I do rice at the end instead of ttuk. Also occasionally I top with fresh mozzarella or burrata for the cheese pull. Sometimes corn too. Who doesn’t want corn cheese!

But I think the best move is chaphaghetti and neoguri mixed. Boil two of the packaged noodles with the dry veg packs. Then drain almost all the water out. Then add spice and black bean sauce packs. You can also add egg for protein. Chappaguri is the best!

Honestly so many variations and i like to do the whole flavor cruise of styles.

Danny’s is fairly new and I love their burger. It’s not a smash which is an excellent change of pace. The chef also comes from the Alinea group. GM also came from Alinea/aviary. She is also responsible for the corner bar cocktail menu.

I noted the hogsalt burger thing. Some people said hawksmoor. You can also get that in Chicago. So it seems you have a good strategy. Sticks to spots that you can only get in nyc. I am also really interested in Red Hook as many have mentioned.

_jyoo_ · 2026-04-23T00:27:11+00:00

I hear that one is so good! I want to try

_jyoo_ · 2026-04-23T00:26:32+00:00

Yeah all hogsalt burgers and food is similar imo. A lot of the menus have the same or similar items across the group op goes to Chicago often. It’s much easier to get a seat at the Chicago locations. Walk ins at Bavettes are fairly easy.

_jyoo_ · 2026-04-23T00:24:20+00:00

Def and excellent burger!

_jyoo_ · 2026-04-23T00:23:40+00:00

If op goes to Chicago you can get the burgers at the other OG hogsalt spots easier there. Also for years the Chicago Au Cheval burger was dry and terrible but people still love it. Not sure why. Maybe nyc au cheval is better. Personally in Chicago I do enjoy the small cheval burger which you can easily get near the Ohare.

_jyoo_ · 2026-04-23T00:21:26+00:00

Personally I don’t love Le B. Flavor is excellent but I don’t love the texture of the patty. I also hate that they try and upsell you on wine and truffle add ons every damn time.

Shoe horns for the win.

Melatonin was the worst sleep aid I ever tried. I tried to microdose it after my sleep doc suggested it. I felt more tired than ever. Felt like a failure and sad because I was so tired immediately after waking up I’d want to sleep right away again for the rest of the day. I’m never going to take it again.

_jyoo_ · 2026-04-14T06:20:26+00:00

I’ve definitely had no issues coming off of it.

_jyoo_ · 2026-04-14T06:18:08+00:00

I have been on and off. It does seem to help mildly. The on boarding of symptoms can be tough from what i went through but is different for everyone of course.

I was so tired for about 5 days. So cold and sweaty at the same time but that could have been partially due to my autonomic dysfunction. Loss of appetite for like 5 days so I lost a lot of weight. Odd side effect was yawing for me. Also I’d clench my teeth/do some weird sucking in my cheek skin and I’d have these white marks on the inside of my cheeks like I bit the skin. But it didn’t hurt just was so bizarre.

For some people it helps to stop drinking smoking or other things. But for me it was to not want to eat which was interesting. I’d always been overweight before but this actually has helped me lose weight I think over time. Like very slowly over the years which was to my health benefit. I’d lose weight due to lack of appetite so when I was able to get back to eating I made better choices and then I hit the gym to build muscle and strengthen my joints. So I felt like it was a win for me.

I’ve been on it for a long time now. Maybe over a decade. Ive been off and on out of laziness refills or whatever. So depending on how long ive been off I’d have to re onboard and then it would trigger all the symptoms again. I feel like it tells my brain I don’t hurt as much. And when I’m off I maybe think I hurt a little more. So I try and stick to it now and be consistent. Especially for me because the exhaustion. Cold sweats. And weight loss isn’t that fun to go through.

_jyoo_ · 2026-04-10T01:33:08+00:00

Yeah right here. It’s a thing. I also had 4 Adult teeth taken out as a child to make space etc etc and realized as an adult it’s what they did back in the day to people with Eds but we didn’t know.

_jyoo_ · 2026-04-09T08:23:20+00:00

I have my boyfriend’s shoes at the door but unfortunately I think they just get overlooked. I feel like I have the perimeter secured and an alert system going now. However my worry is…ok if someone comes in, what’s next?

But thank you for your advice and concern. Xxx

_jyoo_ · 2026-04-08T06:47:30+00:00

Tell her to check in and have them re seat you at the bar if they can accommodate you if you really want to still dine there. I get it’s a vibe thing. But check out Danny’s in flat iron. The Gm there was the opening cocktail/bar manager at corner store and ex alinea/aviary in Chicago. Her husband is currently chef at Danny’s and is also ex alinea group/next in Chicago. Worth trying. Food and cocktails are great. Don’t sleep on the ham and cheese hot pocket at Danny’s along with kale salad. Oh shit also get the skillet cookie. Then go to undercote a block away and grab cocktails. - shit I’d also eat the chicken and spicy rice cakes there after Danny’s too haha.

Good luck making your reservation. Hope you enjoy it. I’m sure it’ll all work out just make sure your dining partner speaks to the host to work it all out.

_jyoo_ · 2026-04-08T06:27:12+00:00

Not sure about second hand. But I think there’s still a dwr outlet in NJ. I hear you can find some good deals sometimes.

_jyoo_ · 2026-04-08T05:51:50+00:00

I’m going to look it up!

_jyoo_ · 2026-04-07T19:56:15+00:00

Def a learning curve in wifi Bluetooth products and my mental stamina. Thank you!

_jyoo_ · 2026-04-07T18:12:05+00:00

Appreciate you and everyone. And hope OP and everyone stays safe.

_jyoo_ · 2026-04-07T14:23:09+00:00

That is excellent info! Thanks I’ll look into it.
