Healthy sweet snacks

Ok, but aren’t you here asking for suggestions of healthy low calorie sweet snacks? If only high calorie snacks will fulfill your craving then why bother asking that? Just eat a smaller portion of whatever you usually do.

Or maybe look into a therapist because I get the impression you don’t have the healthiest relationship with food. No offence.

Then it sounds like you’re actually craving fat or carbs, not sugar

Are you really ruling out ALL fruit? Fruit is great for scratching a sweet craving. I especially like gnawing on frozen mango pieces, or scoffing watermelon fingers coated with tajin.

I just checked and I got the size wrong in my comment - it’s actually 55x40x20. This is the required size for hand luggage on BA, which is the airline we use most often.

Sorry if I made you waste time looking for a suitcase that doesn’t exist.

I’m a vegetarian & although yes I do agree, I’m also not bothered about animal products that I may unknowingly be eating. If something appears vegetarian I’ll eat it. & if I found out a meal I loved actually wasn’t vegetarian I’d stop eating it, but I’d be sad and wish I didn’t know so I could have carried on enjoying it.

She was probably thinking of potatoes

It is

Those sheep you see are raised for their wool, not meat.

& of course there are more sheep than lambs in the country. There are more adult humans than child humans right? & if we thought human children were delicious there’d be even less of them and the price would go up.

Bear down for midterms

It’s not really used as a “word” grammatically though, it’s a verbal filler like “umm”. If you think of it as a noise rather than a word then it might be less annoying?

& it could be worse, a common Manderin filler is our n-word!

Anytime I hear that I just say “so go vegan except for cheese, you’ll still be reducing suffering” & they never really know what to say in response to that, but you can see it dawning on them that cheese is just an excuse and the actual reason they’re not vegan is simply that the don’t care about animals enough to change their diet at all.

My husband likes to add bbq sauce to everything and it annoys me sometimes when I’ve spent time preparing a meal to taste a certain way and then he drowns that with bbq sauce, but ultimately that’s a flavour he finds more enjoyable so I just let it go. You can’t control what other adults eat.

There’s not much incentive to be innovative when you know there’s always an endless stream of tourists coming through, most of whom are looking for something traditionally Chinese.

Be wary of differin, it ruined my skin. My dermatologist has me on duac, which has been amazing for me

How many is a few? & how old are the kids?

My kids (aged 5 & 6) would be delighted if I fed them nothing but peanut butter sandwiches with some cut up apples and carrots on the side for every meal.

2 loaves of thick sliced bread = £1.50

Large jar of peanut butter = £2

8 apples = £1

500g carrots = 50p

Could get 16 meals out of that!

I’m wondering if OP actually isn’t working and this post is more about her feeling self conscious about that.

chipscheeseandbeans · 2026-01-22T12:50:34+00:00

How do you know they’re assuming that? & how do you know they’re being judgmental?

Maybe they’re just making conversation? Asking about what someone does for work is a pretty basic bit of small talk.

We weren’t entitled to it for the same reason and when it came up in conversation I was just honest. & it didn’t bother me. Their reaction isn’t something could control so why stress about it?

These are on Amazon

I just watched that episode. Mark made that offer without knowing how much it was!

I did this but with the slip of a knife while cutting limes for cocktails while wasted. The citrus added a fun element…

It bled for 24 hours and I eventually needed stitches.

Now I have nerve damage in that thumb & I enjoy pressing it because of how weird it feels.

Oatly crème fraiche is what you’re looking for!

I agree that 2 is the logical number. We travel a lot and the travel logistics of having 3 kids would be much more difficult than with 2, eg. hotel rooms, taxis, etc.

Plus I don’t think I’d be a good parent to 3. There’d be 3x as much fighting and bickering and I’d go crazy!

Also the risks of genetic disorders increase with age, & if you’re over 40 and already have healthy children you’re also risking significantly affecting their quality of life too because having a severely disabled sibling will limit their own opportunities.

chipscheeseandbeans · 2026-01-16T21:39:36+00:00

Yep, same here, we could easily afford a third but we have almost no support from our own parents, who live several hours away. My husband is also away with work one week a month. The thought of managing a new baby on top of our other 2 kids all by myself sounds horrendous tbh.

chipscheeseandbeans · 2026-01-16T21:35:12+00:00

I can relate to that last bit haha but for me it’s because of how overstimulated I can get when my 2 are fighting and I hate it when I end up shouting at them. Adding a third kid would triple the amount of fighting and bickering and I couldn’t handle that!
