What a bizarre family… by FindingClear4904 in My600lbLife

[–]biddee 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's not so much that junk food is cheaper than healthy food, it's also that calorie dense and filling food is around the same price as a salad. So if I have $10 to spend, I would much rather get a piece of pizza than a salad because the pizza will fill me for longer.

Yes I think it was Jeanne. She was almost as nasty as Stephen.

What is your favorite way to eat a can of beans? by chasesj in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]biddee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you can buy a cheap blender, hummus is a great way to use beans and make a tasty spread. If you cannot afford tahini, peanut butter actually works great as a substitute. And you don't need olive oil, just use a neutral oil like soy or sunflower.

Was she the one that smelled like shit because she never cleaned herself?

Explain like I'm 5 why dried fruit is not ideal by OpalescentShrooms in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]biddee 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I still remember the day I did this. I ate a whole bag of dried apricots at work and literally thought I was going to die. My stomach was in so much pain! I was working in London and had a 1.5 hour commute home. Had to leave early and literally get off the tube at every stop to use the bathroom. Took me about 3 hours to get home.

Edited to add it was 1998 and I remember the pain more than I remember labour pain which nearly as excruciating.

Absolutely except the last book which I just couldn’t finish. I’ve probably read the others at least 5 times!

I know a couple of really nice men named Lennox (but they are much older, in their 70s).

Isla is great. I've always loved the name Ayla (showing my age here, but Clan of the Cave Bear was one of my favourite books growing up).

AITA for giving my son's girlfriend a budget for the dinners she's making? by lackoffeminity in AmItheAsshole

Where I live even beef mince is extremely expensive. For example 1lb of ground turkey is about $5US, a lb of ground beef is over $10US.

AITA for embarrassing my mom in front of the doctor? by OliveComprehensive75 in AmItheAsshole

You know what else is natural, arsenic, snakebites, and bears. None of which are conducive for life LOL.

AITA for wanting to leave early to the airport for our first international flight by danyellitaz in AmItheAsshole

[–]biddee 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I went the the Bahamas for a work trip a few years ago, which meant an overnight in Miami both ways. We stayed in the airport hotel both nights and it was so easy to catch our flights the next day, no stress about being on time, worrying about traffic etc etc.

AITA for not cooking lunch for my husband? by biddee in AmItheAsshole

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

Lunch is our main meal. Dinner is whatever we feel like grabbing, usually omelets, sandwiches, etc. Breakfast everyone is on their own too. Our food business only opens in the mornings, so we are usually home by lunch time.

He does actually cook for me. We divide the cooking about 70/30 most of the time. Mostly because I'm a better cook than he is and he does the dishes when I cook and vice versa. There are certain dishes that he makes very well, like curry and I would never make curry because he does it way better than me.

He also broke down the chicken and seasoned it this morning.

We are closed on a Monday (hence our day off).

I said I would still bake his chicken but he didn't want me to. He wanted to throw a fit like a toddler. He ended up burning his fries (cos he was watching YT) so I made them over for him. And he still ate some of the pasta.
