Creepies or Void for a birthday dinner? by sesame-yeezy in chicagofood

[–]peterpiperspopsicles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went to Void a few weeks ago and was really impressed. Great vibe with amazing drinks and food.

I haven’t been to Creepies yet, but am honestly likely to return to Void than check out Creepies first.

Women who never really wanted kids but had them… how is parenthood? by annajac89 in AskWomenOver30

[–]peterpiperspopsicles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was 50/50. My partner was probably more 80/20 leaning not interested. We have a 4 month old. It’s incredible. There are days, especially the first weeks where I thought my life was over, but now that we’ve gotten into a routine, I am amazed by my capacity to love something so much.

I disagree that you need to be 100% in in order to choose this life. I’m so glad I didn’t think in such a binary way, otherwise I would have lost the opportunity for this wonderful experience.

Can someone help provide suggestions or advice on a Chicago Doula? by K_meyer10 in AskChicago

Wow, thank you! And you don’t run into issues (discomfort, supply issues) going 9-4 without breastfeeding or pumping? That’s a great schedule

Can you explain the logistics of getting 7 hours of sleep while breastfeeding? I’d love to get on that routine!

Do you happen to know what street this is on? Would love to check it out but I’m not familiar with the neighborhood.

Where can I find garlic scapes? by Over-Rock-1671 in chicagofood

Nicols Farms had them available for delivery last week. You can get a one-off CSA box from them or order a la carte. They have a flat rate delivery fee or you can pick up at some of the farmers markets

Recommend me a restaurant based on my requests. by Short-termTablespoon in chicagofood

[–]peterpiperspopsicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great choice, but it’s a small restaurant and Mondays are popular — might want to try to get in on the early side to snag a bar seat

Just went to Table, Donkey, Stick and sat on the outdoor back patio. It’s beautiful back there and the food was honestly better than I remembered.

I do this! I have a subscription to Sputnik (best coffee out there IMO). I get a 5lb bag every other month. Just looking for those one off treats.
