how big was this radish!?!? that looks so good!! I just made my first kimchi last week too! Korean style with napa cabbage and gochujang:

just a little batch to try it out. I am giving it a few more days before i try it. fingers crossed!

I feel you sis. I didn't transition until last year at 47 😭 straight into a grandma basically and I thought it was a safe time but apparently not so much eh.

And I thought my partner of 25 years was bi but she isn't for me and gee does that sting.

the world is a fuck. I hate being trans, audhd, bipolar, ptsd riddled. i resent that i have to give myself needles every week and take pills every day for the rest of my life just to not have shitty thoughts and feelings too.

What can you do though? this might be my only life like you said so i'm still gonna stick around and see what happens.

All that bitterness released, even after a year I surprised myself in the bathroom mirror just an hour ago and got to gaze at my true adorable self and I couldn't go back. If I gotta exist on this ridiculous planet I like being soft. I'd rather be a lonely trans grandma than the sad boi i was most of my life.

i use safari on my phone mostly, duck duck go for things a little more private

ayyyy vik great to hear from ya mate! how's things?

NO scooter ding!

look at that smile :) gorgeous!

it took me a year of contacting every site that threw my personal info up on google and a few had to be contacted multiple times but i was able to scrub 99% of my presence on the google serps anyway with this method.

It definitely should be easier.

I have been the home cook for 6 people for years on a tight budget so I do this a lot.

For me it really comes down to sales and effort. I really can't beat a $.99 pound of pasta making it myself, I have tried. So i buy things like pasta, bread, tofu that I could make but the savings if any would be minimal especially after factoring in time.

Instead i use the time to make the more expensive dishes, things like pickled onions and slow roasted meats for my carnivores and compound butters and sauces and dressings. These elevate the meals and i'm able to make them far cheaper than I could buy them so the time spent ends up being worth it.

Sometimes there are sales that move all this math. My kroger just had a sale on salmon cakes, something my meat eaters love but i normally would make myself. But on sale for $2 each, i bought like 10 of them for the freezer they will be massive time savers in a pinch and will come in under what i could have prepared them for because of the sale!

GRiD has been making these 'milspec' laptops for decades! I wanted one so much when I was a teenager because they were all cyberdeck looking back then, too!

what stood out to me is my name has been printed as Last, First on every medical form i have ever seen!

that is really neat
