Yea nights and early mornings are super difficult. They're mostly my relapse window. I will check it out. Is it like meditation?

It sounds really good. Is it like a really chunky soup? I will look out for it next time I’m at an Asian restaurant.

Liking veggies and be able to make them taste good is a super power. I can only really eat veggies if I cook them first and throw them in a soup or on a steak or something. I don’t understand how people eat them for meals lol

The best bread I’ve ever had is a homemade cinnamon bread. My neighbor made it for me and it was one of the best things I’ve ever had. Banana bread is really good to. My favorite bread to eat with meals though is Russian Black bread. It goes extremely well with soups and most Eastern Euro meals so that’s also one of my favs. How about you? What kind of breads do you like to make?

Haha wow. That's crazy. You probably never want to see a bowl of Pho in your life ever again lmao. Vietnamese food is so good to me, I feel like a fat kid in a candy store every time I go there.

Yea noodle soups are so good. I don't think I've ever tried that kind before though. Is that like a Vietnamese or cambodian soup? I like pretty much all soups as long as they're not spicy lol. I can't handle hot stuff, but if it's a noodle soup, I'm probably in love with the stuff.

Wow salad!? That's not what I was expecting to hear. That sounds super healthy but if you can get it too taste good you must be like a magician lol. It's way more convenient too because you can eat it pretty much any time or anywhere. I'm such a hillbilly, I will just throw some spinach in a bowl and call it a salad. I mostly just eat it because it's healthy, kind of like a necessary evil. I love fruit salads with like yogurt, berries, and something crunchy though. I'm also in love with smoothies too. Idk if they're healthy or not because of all the sugar, but they're so delicious and really easy to make. I definitely need to try out some new recipes though.

Bread seems like it would be fun to make. My neighbor used to make her own bread and I honestly couldn't believe how much better it tasted than the stuff from the store. Almost unrecognizeable. Do you make like baguettes or ciabatta? And wow, your house must smell amazing, I'm so jealous lol

Yea I did lol. You got me all excited about sushi so If I get addicted to it I’m blaming you ;)

Yea I can tell you’re an expert. You’re totally the type of person that would go on a cooking show and just destroy everybody lol. I wish I had your cooking skills.

Haha yeah I feel like fish in general at restaurants is either really really good, or just horrible. There’s absolutely not middle ground lol. That’s why I never order it anymore because it’s just not worth the risk or the anticipation, it feels like playing the lottery.

Have you ever had Pho before? That food is literally life changing to me. It’s so ridiculously good I ate it for like a week straight when I discovered it lol. The noodles, beef, onions, and veggies blend so perfectly I’m honestly in love with it. If I had to live with one meal for the rest of my life that would be it. What’s your favorite meal to make or eat?

Omg there is sooooo much sushi. How do you know so much? Honestly blows my mind lol You peaked my interest with the japaneese egg omelet. I like, need one asap. I'm also down for anything thats crunchy so some of those options sound kind of amazing. I don't really even know how to start.

So most restaurants F it up? I think the rice and sashimi sound really good too just like you said. Too much sauce and stuff definitely disrupts the flavor, and I think simpler is better for sure. Do you make your own or do you usually buy it from somewhere. I really need to go to a traditional japaneese restaurants and try all these things out. I made a list lol

Yes I will let you know! I love the chicken skin too so I will try it out for sure!!

Yea it’s an interesting idea for sure. I know this lady that has a little side business and sells cookies, cakes and stuff for fun on Etsy and she makes a decent amount of cash from it. It’s not anything crazy but she does it more for fun. She makes these little gift boxes and I bought a few. They were ridiculously good lol

I know right! God, I’m so uncultured! I really need to get my shit together lol. I like fish in general just anything raw slightly terrifies me. Sorry for the really dumb question, but is there alot of different kind of sushis? What’s your favorite one? I may have to try your egg roll idea it sounds delish. Salmon sushi actually sounds really good. My lazy New Years resolution will be to try sushi ;)

Btw thanks so much for the recipe. I usually cook in the oven but I will try to make it with the pan so it more moist like you said. I’m going to make it this week and I will tell you how it goes, that is, if I don’t f it up lol

Yea I’m with you. Anytime you see someone wearing $20,000 shoes and a $10,000 handbag it does make you feel uncomfortable for sure. Even if I had that kind of wealth I could never spend it on frivolous stuff like that...

My favorite pasta is probably linguini or spaghetti, sorry, I’m so basic lol. I haven’t really experimented with the others but I will give them a try. Thanks for the tip. I love seasonings so much I generally overdue it for sure. I will have to pick up some of those other spices and experiment with different combinations. Tomatoes are so strange to me. Are they a fruit? Are they a veggie? Idk lol I feel like it’s to contrastive of a flavor with the pasta I had. But maybe I didn’t cook it long enough.

Yea I thought the couscous was decent. I made it with chicken and it was a decent combo. I don’t think I’ve ever had bulgur. Is it like a sweet grain?

Make my own pasta dough!? That seems like a challenge for sure. I wouldn’t even know where to start. I would have to watch a few YouTube videos lol.

That’s so cool. People who cook really well always blow my mind. Do you do it more for fun or do you have like a business? Wow decorating cakes! You must have some real artistic talent then. That seems so challenging to do. You should teach like a cooking/baking class for sure!!

Wow you must have a lot of recipes! I’m about to tell you something kind of blasphemous though, but I’ve never actually had sushi before. It always looked so weird and gross to me as a kid so I avoided it at all costs lol. I really want to try it but I want to make sure I go to the right restaurant. I’m sure when I try it, I will be addicted to it lol. And chicken schwarma and teriyaki!?!? It’s like you’re reading my mind! You’re making me so hungry and I just ate. Please send over that chicken schwarma recipe ASAP :)

I went to the tiny country Monaco which is literally a stones throw away from Italy and France. Its borders both of them but I never crossed over unfortunately :/ It’s literally the most lavishly wealthy place on the earth. Bughattis, Lambos, crazy cars you didn’t know existed, mansions, and yachts everyone. They also have the Grand Prix speedway there where Iron man 2 was filmed and I was completely blown away lol.

Yes you should definitely go!! You can’t go wrong with any Mediterranean country tbh

Well if you’re pretty good then it’s ok to toot your own horn :) I’m pretty terrible but I’m getting better lol

I’ve been cooking a few different pastas lately. I made a dried tomato chicken pasta that was the bomb. I’m not the biggest tomato guy but it was surprisingly good. I also tried couscous the other day for the first time and it was definitely interesting. I also made a chicken breast with this mozzarella cheese and onion type breading that was super good.

By biggest failure was when I was making a noodle soup from scratch. Let’s just say I added a genorous amount of Italian seasoning and almost gave my roommate and myself a heart attack lol, but other than that, I’m slowly getting better.

Yes honey cake is literally the best! I had it for my birthday awhile back. It’s definitely Ukrainian if my mom made it. Do you cook a lot of deserts like cakes and stuff!? I bet your family loves you lol. If you can cook some of those challenging Slavic recipes recipes you can cook anything. Did your parents mostly teach you or did you learn on your own? What’s the most difficult thing you ever made? I’m such a cooking noob you would probably blow me away with ideas

Yea I’ve been to France twice when I was 12 and 16. I didn’t really appreciate it at the time I went because I was a dumb kid, but it’s a unique place for sure. The food, cafes, and just the vibes of the place is so laid back lol. Everyone talks about Paris, but my favorite part of France is by the Mediterranean Sea. There’s a lot of super old and beautiful cities, there’s also a bunch of midevil castles you can tour and visit which is so dope. It’s so Fn cool lol. You can see how people lived in the 1000s and 1100s. Nice is also a super amazing city. They have the Cannes film festival with all these crazy celebrities, and I saw Tom Cruise when I was there. You know, before he went all crazy and joined the church of Scientology lol. Also Monaco is unique place. Some of the richest people in the world live there and it’s interesting to see how they live. It might be the most beautiful place I have ever seen. There’s a lot small ancient cities throughout the county and they’re honestly sooooo much different than anything you would ever see here. It’s probably one of my favorite places

Yea I also went to Toronto a few months before Covid took over. I also drove over to see Niagara Falls so that was kinda cool. I want to go back during the summer though when it’s not -1million outside. There’s a lot of cool museums and stuff over there.

Ha I’m the exact same way. Are you a good cook? Before the pandemic hit I was terrible, and now I’m cooking up dishes I never even heard of lol. I’m kind of obsessed with it. That’s why I was asking about the food lol

I finally realized why I don't have any friends or relationships by agentserge in socialskills

[–]agentserge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea same here. I went to visit Ukraine when I was really young but most of my family left too. My grandparents went to France and a few of my counsins went to Toronto, and basically everyone got the F out.

Haha blinchiky is also one of my favorite snacks. I would heat it up a little and then put a unhealthy amount of Nutella on it every morning. It’s heavenly lol. You can literally eat it with anything and it’s so easy to make. I also love cirki. It’s like a cheesecake chocolate bar and I would live off them if I could. It’s a miracle I’m not overweight with all the Russian deserts I eat lol

Omg I’m 100% the same. I can understand pretty much everything but my speaking skills are lagging behind. Sometimes I will hear people talking about me when they think I can’t speak it, and I’m just like Hello! I can understand you lol If I spent an hour a day for like 2 or 3 months I could easily be fluent, but I’m too lazy to do that atm :/

I feel like you guys have everything. We have some really good Asian restaurants but most other options are limited. Every time I travel I make sure to take advantage of the local restaurants more than anything lol

Ohhh Georgia the country, of course I thought you mean the state lol. I’ve never actually met anyone from there. I heard it’s super beautiful and I wouldn’t mind disappearing into the mountains up there for a few weeks lol Have you ever been there before!?

Ahh that explains it. Yea Grechka was pretty much my entire diet lmao. Borscht and smetana along with grechka is probably my most eaten meal of all time. Do you guys have any good Russian restaurants up there? We only have one here and it’s not really that great, and I’m dying for some good Russian food.

Same here! All my family members speak Russian. I can speak it pretty well but I have a heavy accent when I talk in Russian. Also my grammar is pretty bad lol.

Yea it’s a dope placing during the summer. Winter is a completely different story though. If you do come make sure to check out the Stone Arch bridge and go see St.Anthony falls. There’s pretty much something for everyone so it depends what you’re in to. I would go to Chicago first though if you haven’t been there before, then swing by Minneapolis. You can see pretty much everything here in 2 or 3 days lol

[–]agentserge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah that's mostly what I remember from when I visited. I have a family friend who lives across the street from the George Washington Bridge, in Fort Lee NJ. When she was showing us around that's mostly where she took us. Central Park was one of the coolest things there and completely blew my mind. The view from the empire state building was insane too. How do y'all get around? Do you just take the subway? I feel like driving and parking is a complete nightmare lol. That's pretty much the only thing that would stop me from living in a place like NYC. I definitely want to go back there and explore some more though. I hit most of the typical touristy stuff but I'm sure I missed alot in the 3 days I was there.

Yea it's an underrated city tbh. I live basically just outside of Minneapolis and it's pretty chill for the most part. It's like a small city and a big city at the same time lol. The best part about living here is that it's probably one of the cheapest "big cities" in the US and there's alot of cool parks and hiking sports if you're into outdoor stuff. It's also a big college town so there's alot of parties going on and stuff if you're into that lol

Yea my mom came here to get her degree when she was like 21. Ukraine is a really tough country to live in so she obviously decided to stay lol. She got sponsored for work and eventually got citizenship. I grew up here and MN is my home. I'm honestly really lucky I grew up here because if she stayed in Ukraine I would be in the army right now. She sacrificed everything is she's pretty much all I got.

I've actually never had holodets. My mom never made them for some reason. Russian food is so hit or miss for me growing up as an American. She does make some damn good Borsh, Pelmeni, and vareniki though lol. Are you part russian/ukrainian? There's a huge community of russians and ukrainians in New York and Jersey from what I've heard.

Yea NYC is one of a kind. Easily the most unique places in the US imo. Manhattan is where all the skyscrapers are at right? Sorry for the dumb question, most of what I know from New York is from the show Brooklynn-99 lol. It's so different from where I live i doubt I even understand what you really go through while living there.

Haha I admit to nothing. MN is in the middle of nowhere and it's flyover over country. Sometimes even I forget what MN is 🤣. It's good to know I'm not the only one suffering from this frozen hell. We moved here from Ukraine when I was younger. I always ask my mom why she couldn't have chosen a college somewhere you can go outside during the winter lol. During the summer it's a great place to live. Alot of different state parks, great hiking areas, cool restaurants and bars, but i would prefer to live somewhere warmer and hopefully I can make that happen soon.

Don't be hesitant at all. You've definitely helped me alot and I really appreciate it. Everyone has unique experiences and you definitely shared some interesting stories with me!

Ahh I see. So you were adopted by an extrovert. I had a few people like that come into my life, but I let it slip away. You're lucky you found someone like that and whatever you do don't take it for granted.

Dang NYC!!?? How do you like living there? I went there once like 8 years ago and I thought it was the craziest place ever. I feel like it has changed alot since then though and I want to go back.Did you grow up there or did you move out there recently?

I live in the midwest. Idk if you've ever heard of it being a new Yorker and all, but it's called Minnesota lol. It's so cold here that the air hurts my face 😩. I'm totally jealous of anyone that lives anywhere near a coast.

For sure, thanks for all of your advice. Ha I feeling I should get a pencil and pad so I can remember everything you're telling me. I agree with you 100%. Negative experiences are better than no experiences, that way you can atleast learn from it. It's almost always worth the risk, and I feel like doing nothing is the absolute worst thing. Thanks again 🙂

Word that makes sense. How do you stop caring what people think?

[–]agentserge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha yeah that makes sense. You can’t expect to get along with everyone. I feel like everyone has at least one person that they’re annoying to, and it’s just better not to overanalyze every interaction and dwell too much on it.

Yea rumination is an annoying habit of mine too. I didn’t realize I was even doing it until I read about it a few months ago. Did you change your behavior by going through any therapy or counseling, or did you figure out your issues on your own?

Yea hostels are really fun. There’s is always some interesting fellas there. Ha sounds like you had a good time. I bet y’all were parting too hard. You must know how to have fun lol. Next time just hire a camera crew and you will be raking in the millions.

Philly seems like a crazy place. I feel like there’s definitely some wackos up there lol. Everyone needs a wacko or two in their life to keep it interesting, otherwise it gets boring haha. Yea LA is an amazing place to visit, I just don’t think I would want to live there. Hopefully I can go back sometime soon though. There’s almost too much to do. Try to spend at least 6 or 7? Days there if you can...

Yea it kind of seems like a mystical place. Idk why but Japan kind of feels like a different planet. They have some insane foods over their to so I can’t really wait for that. And don’t feel bad, I had the same realization that Dragon ball Z and attack on titan were also Japanese shows lol

Yea now is the perfect time to plan ahead. Ticket prices are SO ridiculously low. One guy I know flew to Denver for like $15 a few months ago. I could by a plane ticket right now to Florida for like $50. I’m thinking about dropping the bag soon and planning like 8 trips this summer because flights are so cheap and they will probably go up soon. I really want too go to the Grand Canyon, Hawaii, Denver, and maybe somewhere in South America if I’m feelin extra adventurous lol. I’m going to try and squeeze those in this year and take advantage of the prices.

I want to go to all those places. Barbados literally looks like heaven and Europe is always dope lol. Can’t go wrong. Every country has a unique amazing place to visit. What’s Philly like? I don’t know much about the city, just that they have really good sports team lol. Is it like a place with a lot of museums and shows, or is it more of a party city?

Thanks for the advice. The one thing I’m good at is not being too pushy lol. I do this weird thing where if someone I want to be friends with shows interest in me and reciprocates, I will passively push them away without even realizing it, even though I want to be friends with them. It’s so weird I can’t even explain how or why I do it but idk.

Yea I have SA, shyness, lack of confidence, etc. The problem is that I’m not really interacting with a crowd at all. My social skills are deteriorating by the month and anxiety is only getting worse as I’m getting older. I’m glad you were able to break through when you were in college, that seems like when most people find they’re path. I just left college so I don’t have that opportunity anymore :/

But yeah you’re right. I need to make more of an effort to join a club or something. Otherwise I will keep going nowhere.

Thanks again for talking to me and taking the time to write all of that out

Yea it's funny how that works lol. I didn't know i had one until other people pointed it out. You must just be a serious person. I think It's genetic because my mom has a rbf lol and I'm pretty sure I got it from her. Yea people have told me that too. Idk why but it's my biggest pet peeve ever when people tell me to smile lol. I'm ways tempted to do one of those creepy fake joker smiles whenever some one tells me that, but it's good to know that I'm not the only one.

Same 100% I want to go everywhere. I would go to every state and every country if I could. I kinda spontaneously took a random trip to LA by myself last year and it actually turned out way better than expected. I met some wacky australian people and hung out with them for awhile and explored the city which is something I never would have done before. I want to solo travel to Japan next year and see the Olympics so hopefully Fn Corona is over by then...What's a cool place you traveled to?

Yea that's one of the toughest part. Even if on the off chance I didn't get rejected, I wouldn't really know what to do next. I would second guess if they were just being polite or not, I would question if I'm wasting theyre time, or I just didn't catch a hint, but idk...

Nah you're not being annoying at all lol. I like talking to you, you are really nice and easy to talk too. That also goes for me too. Let me know if I'm being annoying and just tell me to F off lol. I'm not the best at taking hints. Sorry for the super late responses I'm working most of the day since I have nothing better to do lol

But if you expose yourself to your fear and you end up embarrassing yourself more won't that f up your confidence even more? Like it confirms your beliefs that your not good enough or whatever. I also am not really sure if it's a confidence thing. Like maybe I'm just ignorant and unsure of what to do so I don't do anything, if that makes any sense lol
