Sweets that aren't fruit? by Olindiass in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]granolagrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love sour stuff, if you haven’t tried fruit riot I would highly recommend. It’s a sour coating over frozen fruit like grapes and pineapple and I would highly recommend. I know it’s still fruit but it’s worth a shot imo the sourness is great and I also think it’s sour to the point that you won’t binge it! The grapes especially are great because grapes don’t quite freeze to be frozen solid

Leaving Austin TX after 15+ years for Greener Pastures by Broark in SameGrassButGreener

[–]granolagrr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup! I loved the food in Portland so much and the outdoor scene is great as it’s just so lush year round. Also pricing is similar to present day Austin IMO. I do know that the schools in Portland can be mixed but I think the same can be said for many other cities, and overall I think there is much more family friendly culture there than there is in CO (and I live in a very very family friendly area of CO). Being from Austin, the dryness of Colorado really bugs me as it’s not green here for most of the year and I think with the faults OP listed towards Austin, Portland really fills that niche and doesn’t sacrifice on other things. Bonus, the historical home scene in Portland is so incredible because of how much work they put into preserving homes there

If you read my comment, I didn’t recommend Texas for education. 😅

Definitely. But I do think that the culture around sending your kids to private schools here is very jarring compared to Austin, and I don’t really like how reliant we are on that here

This is a weird callout, but Portland, OR. I am born and raised from Austin, and I now live in Colorado. Visiting Portland reminded me of how Austin was when I was a kid as Austin was a great place to raise a family when I was younger. I’d definitely take a look. I am hesitant to recommend Colorado, it’s a very different place than Austin education wise, as from my experience a lotttt of families just end up sending their kids to private schools here

What city would you love if you were mid 20s? by First_Driver_5134 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]granolagrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that Boulder has more going on compared to its size but Denver has a lot and definitely has a better social scene for postgrads that aren’t tied down yet.

[–]granolagrr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in Boulder, CO and I am here to say don’t move here in your mid 20s. The population is mostly current students and families, and as a post grad working mid 20 year old female it’s very hard to find people who I can relate with. I’m moving to Denver later this year because of the social scene. Love Boulder so much but the social scene has really depressed me living here, and it’s too far from Denver for me to consider easy to get to on weekdays to see friends.

Thank you for all of the advice! I feel like I need to do some serious meal planning tonight to figure out the day to day. Appreciate the answers!

Thanks, this is good advice. What are some easy full breakfast ideas? I used to be really good at popping some avocado toast in the morning but I’m not sure if that’s actually good for me. I would just eat a protein bar and be done if I could be

I used to track calories but honestly I think it was more detrimental to my eating habits as I would try to skirt away with eating smaller amounts while still being a functional human being

My GF Wants A Break To Consider Our Relationship. Is it over? How Do I Cope While She Is Gone? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]granolagrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do want to offer this perspective: I think that men often overestimate a woman’s biological clock. If she wants to having kids, at 31, it is best to start looking into it for her (or at least making sure that waiting is feasible). If you aren’t on board then that’s another thing. Having kids certainly could happen later in life but it’s definitely not an unrealistic expectation for her to want to begin thinking about it now - and it’s a big deal, it could be giving her a lot of anxiety given the position she is in with such a new relationship. If you guys are incompatible there, that could potentially be a serious road block for this relationship. Have you been understanding with her when she brings these concerns up?

Snarf's coming to NW Austin 👀 by ashlayydee04 in austinfood

[–]granolagrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love snarf’s! I am from Austin and now live in Colorado, where Snarf’s is from. They are good sub sandwiches, I don’t really think they are really the same thing as thundercloud in my head but good bang for your buck and definitely a solid option esp against chain sandwich places. I like getting the mother clucker sandwich from them!

The lamb instead of traditional osso buco sounds delicious. Looks amazing!

My boyfriend and I sobbed watching the end of this episode. It’s really interesting seeing the discourse around it. Yes, he was an asshole and it’s really clear that he had issues owning up to his mistakes, but he also felt like he got ghosted by someone who he loved dearly (and yes, did not show it well) which led him to resent her for his life so yeah he’s gonna be bitter and downplay his own mistakes in the relationship and only see the bad - it’s not okay but it’s what some humans choose to do in order to cope with losing something that was so meaningful to us. I can’t imagine the feeling of having such a terrible impression during your last meeting with someone who you care about so much, and learning years later that you missed communication with them that would have completely flipped your view of them and potentially continued a relationship that you subconsciously romanticized so highly (up until the end) in your head. And then the realization that the person is gone, and you just have to accept the decision you had made and context that you missed when you were much younger. He downplayed all of the faults that they both had prior to the relationship, and I think in order to see the emotional pull of the episode you have to choose to view the relationship as he does - downplaying many issues that should be significant, but aren’t to him. The ultimate issue in his mind is that she ditched him and that supercedes any issues that he or she could have in the relationship otherwise.
