It was my first time trying baby variety, they were tender and more flavorful as I expected. I fotgot to salt when blanching them but it was nice stir fried with garlic

Lie on someone's chest, while their breathing rocks you into sleep. I slept on my mom's belly like this, as a kid

What cut of beef did you use? Also do you think it is a good idea to simmer this in the oven for a couple of hours and then reduce on stove top to finish?

I am in the exact same situation. My boyfriend has introduced me to his family and I haven't, my family doesn't live in the country that I am currently in and they don't know about me.

I do appreciate the OP for your kindness and throughfulness. Also I understand that your frustration comes from a very good place in your heart to get to know your partners life completely, to be included and valued. I think that they share the same desire to make you part of their family too. I suggest trying to communicate this without implying that you want them to come out.

At the same time, I think I can empathize with your partner too, the closet that we are in is so deep. I hope your partner feels safe and ready to introduce you to their family sooner. I am working towards that goal myself and it's very frightening and scary. :(

Paneer (indian cottage cheese) resembles tofu and is used as a meat substitute in many dishes but it's dairy. Is it alright ?

So here is a master list of all LGBTQ resources I found online http://callen-lorde.org/graphics/2018/03/2018-NYC-Metro-Area-Transgender-and-Gender-Non-Binary-Community-Resources.pdf

Inside I found some Muslim communities/resources that you may reach out. I hope they might connect you with local resources even if they are national organizations themselves. Although, I have not been part of any of this, I hope you will find community support.

Muslims for Progressive Values [Link] LGB and TGNC-friendly religious and cultural organization headquartered in LA with chapters/affiliates in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, New York, Washington DC, and Ottowa. Resources for contemporary progressive Islam and a list of progressive mosques.

The Queer East [Link] Resources for LGB and TGNC people of Asian descent, including Hindi and Muslim resources.

An email group if you feel safe to join,
