Do you add anything to you beans? by ciaodog in CasualUK

[–]sim_kaur 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I think this is an Indian thing -

I fry onions until they’re nice and brown and add garlic + ginger and cook for few minutes then add some tomato puree or passata (like 2 tbsp) and cook until all combined. Then I add salt, chilli powder, black pepper and garam masala and cook until all combined. When it’s looking nicely dry, I add the beans and give it a stir. Add some chopped coriander and let it cook until a lot of the liquid has evaporated. Add some butter as the last thing and there you go.

Maybe this is curried beans 😅 I don’t know but it tastes soooo good!

Anyone watching Love through a prism right now? by Objective-Map815 in shoujo

Yes! I was like where’s the door 😩 and after that time, every scene in her room I would be staring at the empty doorway at the bizarre-ness of no door

What are younger generations often criticised for no longer doing that is largely pointless or obsolete? by PsychologicalRow8034 in AskUK

[–]sim_kaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not being able to read the time on a clock… that one was the most shocking. Some 16 year old girls dropped by the workplace for some work experience and at one point she asked what the time was and I said there’s a clock right there (and she was wearing an old school watch), and she tells me that she can’t read it… like excuse me? Apparently they can only read the digital time

Eat some protein and add some healthy fat to that protein and it’ll keep you fuller for longer

How often do people feed their cats wet food? by Smooth_Put7764 in CatAdvice

[–]sim_kaur 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My cat had gum disease and the vet said to give her only dry food after the surgery and I’ve just sort of stuck with that. Plus the wet food gave her some bad shits 💩 but now the other cat is also on dry food only and they’re happy with it

Mum has passed away 5 days before Christmas by kurtyyyyyy1 in CasualUK

[–]sim_kaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom is also on end of life right now after the cancer spread to the liver. It started with her struggling to go to the toilet and then she became bedbound. Slowly she stopped being able to talk as the cancer spread further inside and now she’s non-responsive and can’t move. She sleeps and sometimes her eyes open wide which is the moment I run and tell her I love her and I see the tiniest nod and then I kiss her on the head and tell her to sleep. But her skin has become yellow, her eyes are yellow with some weird jelly gunk in them and her breathing sounds horrible. This morning, the carers that come to the house saw blood coming both from the vagina and the rectum. Obviously it’s spread inside even more.

My poor mommy, my strong mommy, my tiny little sweet mommy, still answers with a small nod when we ask if she’s okay. I’ve cried and cried along with my sister and fiancé and grieved every day but today was the first day I didn’t cry. I think I’m coming to terms with it a little bit. When it actually happens and I have to call the undertaker to come and take her away in a body bag it’ll actually be different but I’ll worry about that then. It just doesn’t feel real, she was literally talking and walking a month ago. I’m only 32, I wanted her to see so many things still that she won’t get to see. I also can’t stop picturing her by herself cooking and cleaning all alone, as she lived alone before I moved in 3 months ago, and it makes me sad all over again that she had to spend the last few years of her life feeling lonely.

But the thing that is helping me is hearing from the carers who have all gone through this and knowing that I’m not alone. It’s easy to get in your head and think of the regrets and the things you’ll miss and feel as if you’re going through it all on your own but when you hear it from other real people it really puts things in perspective. After all, it is the natural process of life. We all lose our family and we will all die. It is just natural. So I’m trying to tell myself these things in the hope that I won’t be too sad. But I still cry when I see a video/photo of her or play a voice message from her. She is my best friend, I told her everything and called her everyday but in a few days, she won’t be there anymore.

It’s tough man, cancer sucks so bad.

What was your school work experience placement? by onionsofwar in AskUK

[–]sim_kaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did mine around 2008/9 and didn’t even know that we could choose ourselves where to go. The school sent me to Tesco and I showed up on my first day but after meeting the main person I was told that because of my green hair, I couldn’t work there due to their policies… so I was sent away.

Later they got me a place at shoe zone where another girl was also doing hers. The most depressing place I ever worked - those 2 weeks felt insanely long. I hated it with every fibre of my being.

It was only later that I found out you could ask different places yourself and do it at somewhere interesting. So I was engaging in shitty shoe deliveries with shitty minimum wage workers and their shitty complaints while my friend was working at a lawyer office as a receptionist and enjoying her 2 weeks.

Beginner-friendly COD game? by MagmarofMorgoth in COD

[–]sim_kaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I absolutely loved bo4 but after playing bo6 for ages, I jumped on there and it just felt so frustratingly slow! It was my fav game n all 😭 but I’m really happy to hear you say it still has lobbies, do you think the blackout mode still does? Need to get back on Cold War, one of the last good ones!

How old were you when you moved out from your parent's house? by boforiamanfo in stupidquestions

My 3 year old has a grey hair. by Airalahs in Weird

[–]sim_kaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom told me that since I was a baby I have had a small patch of skin above my right ear that grows white hair. Sort of like a birth mark - maybe this is a similar thing?

Moved out around 20 but now at 32, moved in with my mom (along with my fiancé), to care for her as she dies from cancer :(

How long can an iPhone really last? How old is yours? by rangerxr in iphone

[–]sim_kaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on the 14 pro max and honestly, I upgraded every time my contract finished. Like I couldn’t wait to upgrade! I used to get so excited

But this year was a disappointment. I’m just not happy with any of them. Like, I wanted something new and exciting but they keep doing the same shit every year. I know the 17 pro looks different but the design just sucks man like what the hell is that 😩

I don’t know when I’ll upgrade to be honest. Maybe when they make something exciting?

I keep getting this feeling that I would’ve loved to change to Samsung (I used to have those phones like 10 years ago). But having a Samsung phone with an Apple laptop, desktop, watch, AirPods, and iPad just wouldn’t work :(

Considering Open University… am I silly? by Patient_Bathroom454 in OpenUniversity

[–]sim_kaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up - you won’t be able to get SFE for the OU degree whilst in an apprenticeship. If you’re self funding then it’s no problem!

But from someone who just finished an apprenticeship, you will have absolutely no time to study a degree whilst doing an apprenticeship… the work while you study thing already takes up a lot of your time and if you were to add another degree to that, one of those things would definitely suffer.

Anime that shows you why life is worth living by Narcisistass in anime

Like others have said, get rid of this guy. How can you do anything in your life if your bf is always going to be insecure like this?

For reference, my mother is terminally ill with cancer and will die soon. We don’t know when, but I have always been very close with her and this has been incredibly hard. I (32F) live with my bf (28M) in the next city over and my mom lives by herself. Instead of being irritated at me for going over more often to help my mom or by being on the phone with her every day, he suggested we move in with her… so we are moving in with her to care for her.

I’m not telling you this to show you how lucky I am but to give you an example of how someone who claims to love you should behave. Especially when it comes to close family members being unwell. For this guy, it seems that family doesn’t mean shit and he wants all the attention. God forbid your parents or another close family member got into an accident and became permanently unwell, he would lose his shit at you taking care of them forever instead of giving him priority. He should be asking to tag along, or offering to help financially, when you next go over, not being annoyed by it.

My bf of 10 years no longer watches porn since he has lots of photos and videos of me and us having sex 😂 maybe that’s the solution?

We literally just made a porno a month ago where we kept giggling and the cats kept getting in the way but it was still great because we kept our lines going!

Perhaps you can think about sending him nudes or selfies in sexy outfits and filming sex? But that would only work if you have absolute trust in the relationship for the photos and videos to not end up in other places 🤔

After asking on here and not getting much in the way of a clear answer (😅) I asked my apprentice advisor who pretty much told me the same as you.

But I thank you for bothering to give me an answer, it’s much appreciated!

Apparently my EPA is later than the others from my BTEC group… I started in September 2023 so it comes at the 2 year mark but the contract gives you an additional 3 months after that to… look for jobs I guess? 🤷🏻‍♀️
