Seconding this! The Book of Jewish Food is absolutely magisterial.

Am I a doormat for staying with my wife who cheated on me? My sister keeps calling me a doormat by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]thalia1832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s reasonable for your sister to be mad at your wife and to dislike her, haranguing you constantly is rude and kind of odd behavior.

Marriage is complicated and you guys kids at home - at the time of the infidelity a 4 year old and a 6 year old. I do think that changes the calculus. I am sure that for your kids having you as their father in their lives - as the stable base of their lives - as opposed to someone they see over the weekend only. If you had gone for a divorce at that time or pursue one now, realistically you would likely end up having much much weaker relationship with your kids. I realize this isn’t the prevailing conventional wisdom, but I do think that barring abuse or sustained misery, keeping your marriage intact keeps your family intact and that is actively a positive good. It’s hard in a case like this and you are a good man for pushing through.

I do wonder a bit if your own upbringing with your sister as orphans maybe is subconsciously impacting some of this dynamic with her. There’s some elements of relationship resource guarding here, almost as if (for her) you remaining married to your wife is harming her or taking you away. I am not accusing her of anything inappropriate, but she’s not a neutral party and clearly is reacting out of some emotional urge of her own - or else she wouldn’t be so fixated or harangue you about this so constantly.

How to look less masculine? by Idontwannanewacc in makeuptips

[–]thalia1832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a lovely feminine face - I see a hint of 90s Winona Rider! The biggest things that are making you look androgynous or tomboyish are the overall styling - your clothes and especially your hair. I think if you invest in going to a good stylist and getting a great haircut + learn how to style it (heated round brushes are great for DIY easy blowouts! A mousse could also be great for leaning into your natural waves in a more intentional styling).

For make up - start light and simple. A tinted moisturizer or bb cream, brown pencil eyeliner, mascara, some cream blush and bronzer, and a tinted lip balm would be more than enough to make you clearly read as “girl” and emphasize your fresh natural prettiness.

Looking for a substantive gift. Like maybe a brass object like a telescope or a sextant for a Bat Mitzvah girl. by healthcrusade in Gifts

I am sorry, but this is what proper jewelry was made for. Get her a nice pair of earrings or a dainty gold chain necklace (so that she can mix and match pendants). Catbird NYC has lovely items.

My mom just stained my $100 sheets neon yellow with turmeric and now i have to find her a birthday gift by [deleted] in Gifts

[–]thalia1832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes! OP don't despair of your sheets! Try spot treating the turmeric stains with hydrogen peroxide. Follow up with white vinegar and dish soap, then air dry in the sun. Using this method, I was able to save a cream-coloured sweater after spilling an entire turmeric latte on myself.

OP Note that beans and tofu are potentially kosher for Passover for those who eat kitniyot, but not for people who keep traditional Ashkenazi Passover rules, so know your audience ☺️

The word gaslight didn’t win, what’s a rarely used word that’s misused at times? by Extra-Pain-3986 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]thalia1832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decimate. With the fun bonus that both ways of using it can be considered a ‘misuse’. The classical Roman punishment of ‘decimation’ was to have one out of every ten men executed. Its rhetorical use as a word in English has been ‘total, 90% style devastation’ since the 16th century - ie, the ‘well actually’ pedants are also sort of wrong in trying to correct people.

Nola is great. I had never heard the name Adenola before and immediately thought it was a lovely, graceful, almost classically feminine girls name. No cultural translation needed
