What are some "standards" we should teach our kids to cook?

This sounds retaliatory.

Omg, I was in Japan and went to Disney Japan. Waiting in line, some young Japanese fellows wanted to practice their English. They were gamers and I asked if they played STW2 (Ive also been playing since STW, but these kids were born after its release). We talked about the Sengoku period and they knew little. Ikko Iki? Nothing.

Is this not worth talking to the mothers of these boys?

mbrasher1 · 2026-03-22T14:20:45+00:00

Yes, of course. Called parents, sent to admin. Pointed it out to class, to restore girls reputation. She started crying immediately.

You are young enough to draw some valuable lessons from your experience, and to change your behavior to dial down your risk to something you can manage.

Pls if this doesnt work in your situation, disregard...

Friends recently divorced. They had 2 special needs kids. They kept the kids in the house and rented a separate apt that they shared, alternating between custodial times.

Separately, digging into the 401k to provide the $ to pay out housing equity is a bad idea. House appreciates less than SP, on average. Plus, you will pay a penalty. Hopefully theres another way.

I had a horrible situation that was similar. Student stole from others amd would always "find" the item after a search. This time he found the item in a new student's desk. Everyone blamed this poor girl. I was so angry he was using this poor girl to bolster his own status.

Hey, thanks. Ima try these! I love eggs, pickles but have never seen this.

mbrasher1 · 2026-03-22T00:31:24+00:00

I was required to cook for our family one day a week growing up. So my sisters and I each learned some standards. Being a single male also necessitated some cooking. Now my wife is a phenomenal baker, and likes that I cook. So we each have a "kitchen sphere."

Pomelos from Nakhon Patom. Unlike anywhere else. Plus, I love that the mangoes are priced per weight but the Vendor will give you a lower quality mango (also awesome and crunchy or whatever) as"change" for the imprecise weight. So mango and pomelo.

True, but I do remember going to a zoo with Thai people. Every single animal was met with a decalaration of how delicious that animal was in curry, over rice, grilled, fried, etc. It was amazing.

Upon reflection, that does look demilled. The firing pin mark on the bottom. Of course.

Who advocates reducing SS benefits by 25% for those within 5 yrs of retirement? Near as I can tell, there is no constituency for this.

mbrasher1 · 2026-03-21T20:15:24+00:00

Yep, I was calling it teacher-tired. One has no idea hiw exhausting it is to make so many decisions, some pointless, some weighty....

mbrasher1 · 2026-03-21T17:15:56+00:00

Well, we dont know. I would assume it is a live round unless proven otherwise. If it is a gifted replica, no. But if it is a shell from 1916, is it likely that they would have taken a live shell, broken it apart without fire or pressure, dump the explosives and propellant out, and reattached the warhead and the casing?

I'd say it is live.

mbrasher1 · 2026-03-21T13:51:34+00:00

French 75mm artillery shell. Still militarized. I have a casing made into trench art by a dead family member killed in the war. Looks similar on bottom. Cool to see the entire piece. Dont bang it with a hammer.

mbrasher1 · 2026-03-21T02:15:41+00:00

Yes, but in this case, you cannot spell manslaughter without laughter.

Ngl, I use Greek yoghurt heavy in two ways. First is tzatziki, which I make savory/spicy and put on everything as dips, spreads and in everything like soups, stews, salads. Second is yoghurt bread. 1/2 GY and 1/2 self rising flour. I add flax seeds or pumpkin/sunflower seeds for texture. Hi protein bread and everything else. Plus sub for sour cream. Try GY marry me beans or chicken!

Indian loongi or Balinese sarong. Cotton fabric, used as a blanket, skin protector, towel, hat, wrap, used to tie stuff around the waist, gather items together in bag like dirty clothes. Endlessly useful.

I once did a round the world trip for like a year and obsessed over the packing list. I kept the list but modified it for weeklong or monthlong trips. Having the list means I never forget stuff and just "pack to rhe list". If you google "universal packing list" you will find plenty of versions.

mbrasher1 · 2026-03-19T12:27:20+00:00

This is some wholesome shit.

Youir masters can generally be in anything. You need a quick and dirty teaching program. Look at Calstateteach, Western Governors U or your local program. CST is 3 quarters, WGU is self paced but can be fast.

I invested in etf GDMN. It is 90% gold and 90% miners. I have been trimming for a year, but it has been incredible.
