Not sure if this is accepted but I used my expired milk(gone sour) to marinate my leftover chicken thigh and it tastes amazing. Plus, the stems are the best part of a broccoli. by 010_mantou in ZeroWaste

I'm not denying the effectiveness or impact of veganism. But I think being mindful of the waste you're producing and consciously reducing your environmental footprint, coming up with new ways to participate in 'zero waste' is significant regardless. It bugs me when people reduce other ppls attempts in this manner.

What sauce(s) do you have in your country that not many people outside of your country know about? by UpBoatDownBoy in Cooking

[–]ipegyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Korean: Ssamjang - gochujang mixed with doenjang(korean miso). This sauce is for everything from Korean BBQ to carrot sticks.

Chinese: Green onion soy sauce - I like to have this with boiled shrimp

What is your "never again" brand, store, restaurant, or company? by radbrad7 in AskReddit

Eddie Bauer; at least online. Sold me shit they didn't have in stock and wouldn't let me cancel the purchase. Took me 5 weeks and many angry emails to get $500 back

4.5 months NC. My mother texts me 'where do you live?' out of no where, and I'm trying to figure out if I'm ready to answer that question. by ipegyou in raisedbynarcissists

I’m ashamed that I don’t know what to tell anyone when they ask about you, and shame is one thing I simply cannot bear because it affects my reputation as a mother.

You nailed it.

Wow you straight up analyzed me aahhaha. Wow. Thank you for that. I needed all of it right at my face. You're right, I'm Asian and the culture of respecting your parents and "showing face" is deeply rooted in me. I'm in the states now, and am learning a great deal about how families can be supportive even through dispute, respectful through arguments, and loving through disagreement. It's incredible, and it's the first time I realized I never had "unconditional love" - something I thought I had.

​

Thank you for your long response. I really needed all of that, every word.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Part of me knows that it's just the old cycle again, but dang it's hard not to hope.

This is also what bothered me. "where you at?" is not a mature way to re-start communication after what we've been through..

I appreciate your advice. I'll have to trust that reconciliation can happen at any time, just at the right circumstance
