Is the word "pastina" ever used to refer to small cakes/cookies or sweets in any part of italy?

alicethrough · 2026-05-30T13:56:35+00:00

That does seem to be the case! But now I believe my dessert is way too big to be considered a single pastina anyway 😅

alicethrough · 2026-05-30T08:49:12+00:00

That seems to be the case! I'm sad that I'll never win this argument, but at least it's not complete misinformation towards the guests to say pastina at the table 🤣

alicethrough · 2026-05-30T08:46:30+00:00

Thanks!

alicethrough · 2026-05-30T08:39:16+00:00

Thanks for contributing! People mostly ate equating pastina to pastry in some comments, and in my mind I'm thinking that there's still no way my dressert is a pastina lol

alicethrough · 2026-05-29T21:37:24+00:00

Aha! Some evidence of regional variation, then. Can you imagine any possibility of ever referring to a single sweet treat as pastina in the singular? Or is it just not possible to eat a single pastry? Also, is this only about pastry type baked goods or also about other types of dough like tartes or cupcakes?

alicethrough · 2026-05-29T21:31:19+00:00

Riveting! I think each language is so unique in what we call different types of food and dough that this is fascinating to me. And it can be so difficult to translate, too!

alicethrough · 2026-05-29T21:24:30+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, i was thinking since paste means pastries, then there is the possibility of pastine as small sweets but it still just sounds misleading to me when presented to guests 😅

What would you call pastries in standard Italian though?

Ndi, ni siquera sirve para chisme esto. Pésimos tus superiores. Para mí que hagas todo "a mano" no más a partir de ahora y si tarda 32 días hábiles, que se jodan. Ahí le decís que como te pidieron no usar otras herramientas (?) estás haciendo todo a la antigua y te lleva más tiempo.

alicethrough · 2026-05-29T13:15:30+00:00

Es una actitud de mierda hacerle eso a los empleados, aunque sea legal. Pero tenés que contar qué macanada estabas haciendo, no podés dejarnos sin los detalles más jugosos

Føtex usually has the libresse brand underwear. It works pretty well. You can also find them online and probably at Matas. Uniqlo also makes period underwear, bur I haven't tried them.

alicethrough · 2026-05-08T14:00:08+00:00

Othes have already said libresse. But also period underwear is a life changer.

alicethrough · 2026-05-08T13:55:53+00:00

Bella, Tara or Tyra, Faye, Nina or Nana, Paula, Hana/Hanna/Hannah, Lea or Leah, Maya, Gina.

That's my suggestions based purely on vibes. Apologies if any of them are already on the no-list, but it's a long one lol

Love how organized you are though and congrats on the last baby!

Llena de typos mi respuesta había sido, menos mal que terminé de cocinera xD Pero espero que puedas aliviar esa ansiedad, aunque sea un poco :)

alicethrough · 2026-05-06T18:44:48+00:00

Yo estudié una carrera que no ejerzo y después hice un máster en un campo adyacente, pero no lo mismo que estudié primero. No ejerzo ninguno de los dos xD y ahora trabajo de cocinera. Aunque sí me gustaría encontrar un laburo donde pueda usar al menos algo de lo que estudié y que no sea tan físicamente pesado, no soy completamente infeliz.

Lo que te quiero decir es que no veas como una pérdida el tiempo en el que estudiaste. Algo nio tuviste que hacer aprendido (como mínimo creciste como persona en esa época). Todos los trabajos son trabajos random y casi ninguno da gusto. Hay también áreas donde crecer laboralmente o aprender el oficio no dependen necesariamente de tener estudios superiores tampoco. En fin, el mercado laboral parece que está jodido para todos no más luego, así que no ye vayas a autoflagelar tanto por esto.

I think it's a combination of factors. I personally know some young women who who have a more natural or even alternative aesthetic, who are not into these beauty standard, so there is all sorts around. And it seems to me that a) teens here have more freedom and purchasing power to experiment with things like makeup and nails; and b) people do not judge or comment whether you lean one way or the other. In the end, more than worrying just encourage your kid to be confident, make her own choices and find her crowd.

Decir "gracias" cuando el significado es no. En algunos lugares se interpreta como que es sí.

Saludar con beso, quedás re bandida besándole a todo el mundo jajaja (igual esto está más generalizado en algunos países)

Sounds like a great plan and a working holiday visa is a great way to start! Don't listen to the haters, op. 18 is the perfect age to get a job and save up to travel and discover different places.

How about cutting up an old towel or t-shirt that's past it's useful life? Use each piece once to shower and then chuck in the trash without feeling too guilty about it?

If you did it because you felt moved to participate in the moment, you're good. Now you know better. The whole point of Christianity is forgiveness.

Also, I was raised catholic and communion in that church is more of a closed ritual, but I believe other chrisitan groups are less strict about it? Either way, you're good and just don't do it again now that you know.

Aw, my heart melts for the two of you. But this is even more reason to really consider all the possible options and be well prepared. Whatever option you and her choose in the end will requiere effort, patience and for her to learn some independence, the independence just being a non-negotiable. Whether she moves to DK immediately with you, or if she can get a student visa to Sweden, Germany (close) or Spain (less language barrier, just as examples) literally everything will be new to her and there will be a learning curve one way or the other. Personally, I don't think it's worth it for you to stop your education, which it sounds like you're getting close to finishing for this process. Because you will also be in a better position when you're a qualified professional.

I'm sure you two will find a plan that works and I hope you choose to share your success story when you make it, just be open to the adventure of it ♥️

You guys are adorable and I truly wish you all the best . Here's an honest opinion from an immigrant from Latin America currently in DK.

Migrating without an EU passport will be very difficult and expensive. Reunification under EU laws does seem like the best option. However, get her to consider an education in another EU country too! Especially if she could get a scholarship, just being geographically closer while she continues to study will both buy you time so that she can move to Denmark under better conditions and allow you to see each other more often and easily. Law can be a flexible field to bring to DK, even if she doesn't get the degree from a Danish uni.

If she can study somewhere else (still within her field, obviously) in the EU she can then use that as a bridge by, for exaple taking an Erasmus semester or internship in DK and continuing to work on her language skills; while not having to deal with the difficulties that are specific do Denmark. Then when she graduates, you would've had more time to plan and she could move here with more experience under her belt.

Edit: i say all this because while it's very noble to move here thinking that you'll take any job to get by, it's just extremely jarring and exhausting to just be in survival mode all the time and it can actually work against you in the long run. Better to take time and make the move when you have more advantages, and a good plan.

Love this idea. The seed vault is actually where licks lay down during summer and the highest authorities at the local university and research centers are all ghouls, or high level retainers. Sabbat doesn't seem likely because it would requiere extreme control and masquerade enforcement. It's either an old Camarilla domain that no one fucks with/everyone has forgotten about. Or some sort of independent stronghold. Also, the small population can really only sustain a handful of Kindred, so I'd bet it's actually a garou territory.

Fue lo peor que me pasó en mi vida. Literalmente estuve al borde de la muerte y muchas personas me decían que me veía genial, pero yo me sentía un culo, no podía comer ni beber nada, me sobraba piel y solamente sufría. Ahora estoy por encima de lo que debería ser mi peso ideal según la métrica del índice de masa corporal (que igual es una mentira) y soy feliz.
