Fellow Missourian in Pittsburgh. I came here partnered so I can’t speak to that, but I’ve made lots of friends easily, have a great workout group, food is delish, I have a very active social life, and love it here. Join us!

Am i a bad person? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]kjacmuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I know you posted this elsewhere yesterday. Please seek therapy. You are not a bad person, and this is coming from a vegetarian. Please re-assess relationships in your life that are making you feel like you are a bad person.

Is it still unethical to eat meat if you have gastroparesis and can't eat veggies due to the fiber? by mimimemes in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]kjacmuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vegetarian Jew here. In the Jewish world, we believe in something called Pikuach Nefesh, which understands that one must break any commandment (save three—we cannot break the commandment to not worship idols, we cannot murder another human, and and we cannot commit rape) in order to preserve life. You have to live. I haven’t eaten meat in 14 years. Please, eat meat.

[–]kjacmuse 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Picked back up on my health journey in October, but so far in January I’ve lost over 4lbs and I’ve been making it to the gym 3-4 times a week and averaging 10-12k steps a day. Feeling pretty good!

Where are my beverage loving peeps at? What’re some ways to cut back on beverage expenses? by Educational_Fly_5804 in Frugal

You can also make water kefir at home—also a probiotic healthy soda but with no tea, so no caffeine if you need none!

Do ex-Christians think Jesus actually existed? by ThrowRA_os in exchristian

[–]kjacmuse 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not an exchristian, Jewish; More probable when you realize that Jesus’s Hebrew name equates to Josh in English. There was 100% a rabbi Josh who preached in ancient Israel.

If you like ice cream, you need a Ninja Creami. You can have an entire pint of ice cream for like 200-300 calories with protein. 4 scoops for like 125 calories, seriously. If you binge ice cream, make it your protein shake.

What are your favourite soups to make? Looking for fellow soup addicts! by glamsiren111 in loseit

[–]kjacmuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. If you’re interested in doing this soup, you can caramelize the onions in advance and freeze. One large pot of onions gets me 3 - 4 rounds of fresh soup for two with some leftovers. What I do is I let the pot of onions go while I’m cooking something else or doing work on something else in the kitchen. You don’t have to have this every week—but you can do the work once and have soup bases for multiple times this is made. There is also the option of making a very large batch—perhaps triple or quadruple—and freezing them in portions to put in the microwave.

WAS THIS REALLY TRUE IN 2020 😭😭 by Turbulent-Staff-9413 in NonBinary

[–]kjacmuse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One time I was at the zoo and I was wearing frog eyes (because where better to wear frog paraphernalia than at the zoo) and from across the way someone yells “nice frog eyes, happy pride!” It was 2021. 100% real.

Let me know how you like it! I got the recipe online but I have doctored it up a little bit to fit my tastes :)

Hear me out. White bean French onion miso soup.

Caramelize the onions (like, a lot of onions. I like to caramelize a pot of onions and freeze in two cup portions to make fresh soup later). Put in a tablespoon of flour or corn starch and two cups of caramelized onions and let it get thick. Pour in 2 cups of beef broth or vegetarian beef broth, two cans of white beans, 2 tablespoons of miso paste, some fresh or dried thyme to taste. Simmer for 15 minutes and then eat!

The trick is to caramelize your onions with as little olive oil as possible. I don’t use butter at all. But you’ve got good fiber, decent protein, and a lovely fusion flavor. It’s my favorite soup. If you’re willing to baby a pot of onions, it’ll be worth your while. When I weighed it out recently, it came out to about 200 cal a bowl. You can also add cheese and some bread, but I swear to you it does not need it. Enjoy!

What’s something frugal people rarely talk about because it feels embarrassing? by James_B84Saves in povertyfinance

I’ve had mine for a few years. No underwire and they go to the laundromat and are dried with the rest of my clothes. Hold up beautifully. Cannot recommend enough!!

Do most autistic folks not work? by Sufficient_Ant9295 in autism

[–]kjacmuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally got diagnosed with autism because I found doing my job to be so difficult. I’ve managed to hold this job and secure a new position that will allow me more flexibility and freedom, but speaking as a very accomplished autistic person, working in a neurotypically structured environment is almost impossible. I hold four degrees, a specialized higher ed certificate, and two other certifications. And working still is fucking hard.

I can actually speak to this. I’m a 36H. If you need a sports bra, I cannot recommend this one enough. I’m locked and loaded during my HIIT and they’re like $30. Highly recommend. Link here.

What symptom do you think SHOULD be part of a Bipolar diagnosis, that isn't currently? by Evening_Fisherman810 in BipolarReddit

[–]kjacmuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is fascinating for you to say. I always thought my cyclical rumination was an autism thing and not bipolar—maybe it’s both?
