Quinoa salad and money isn’t everything
Cherry Tomatoes, quinoa, cucumber, red onion, feta, chickpeas, vinaigrette!
Is it just me or would yall be fine with a lower income life where you live with your means and enjoy life for what it is, friends, family, nature, hobbies. Like I would fucking hate it if I spent my entire life looking for the next way to make more money. If I can feed, clothe, shelter myself and have money for hobbies and medical expenses, then I’m doing well. The rest of my time should be spent enjoying what life has to offer besides capitalism. Idk maybe it’s just me, I don’t think I’d need to be rich to be comfortable in life (coming from a low income girly)
Feta, olive and basil scones
First time making scones! And these savoury ones are delish!!!! So proud of myself, no one likes olives in my house so they’re all for me!
Calling All Queer Artists of Calgary!
I am looking to create a huge art piece for Pride month to bring the community together and provide a platform for anyone willing to display their struggles and triumphs in a creative way! If you’d be interested in taking part and participating in any way (big or little) please comment below or pm me so I can give you my contact details!
To be transparent I’m a cis gendered straight woman. I myself make art often to talk and cope with SA. And I find art is an outlet for me to depict what I’m feeling and create conversations. If you’d like to contribute or have ideas please feel free to comment below!
I fucking hate seeing all the hate online and in person; if there’s a way I can use my creativeness to amplify the voices of friends, family and community I want to do so!
Tell me about myself
Age? Gender? Ethnicity? Cultural background? Etc
Is the mystery scent mold?
On Facebook marketplace… thinking it’s black mold idk
New hood ornament loading…
I all think we should hop on this trend that this guy has working for him! I’d go with a neon orange personally!
Make America skinny again, one slap at a time!
A slap chop in the wild, brings me back to late 2000’s as seen on tv ads
Beautiful Banana bread + baking dish appreciation post
Look at this beautiful banana bread, the browning is magnificent. Recipe is by simply recipes
Also, I thrifted this Pyrex glass loaf dish and well it’s amazing. Sprayed it with canola non stick spray and the loaf slid out and left no crumbs. The loaf didn’t stick to the dish at all. I love my new loaf baking dish😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺.
What makes it better is the fact there’s no non stick coating so it doesn’t have any chemicals and will last a lifetime… if we don’t acknowledge the fact Pyrex have a habit of randomly shattering after 20 years….
My partner has ARFID: advice welcome
My partner has arfid and lives off bread and chocolate milk which mean he’s lacking a lot of vitamins and nutrients he needs. He’s very reluctant to try new food and reverts back to just drinking litres of chocolate milk every day if I don’t encourage him to eat something with more nutritional value.
He likes fruit, cucumbers, yogurt, granola. Plain burgers from McDonald’s (just meat and bun). I want to start cooking him dinner so he has more meals. Not sure of what recipes to try or how to make meals out of his safe foods.
Any recommendations?
What song is this music box playing?
It’s running slow so it might be hard to decipher, it sounds familiar but I don’t know what song it is.
ISO: sweet recipe to use up 1 cup of fresh blueberries
Can’t seem to find a recipe to use up my fresh 1 ish cups of blueberries. I’m allergic to lemon so recipes without lemon are better or atleast ones that make it optional.
Any suggestions would be great!
My first entirely from scratch carrot cake and cream cheese frosting
Tastes amazing and 100% worth the effort of peeling and grating three cups of carrots… so proud of myself ngl
4 years healed realism by John Robert’s in Canada
Fresh vs healed realism done in 1hr and half. So beautiful, and healed amazingly. Different lighting in healed photo but it’s still beautiful.
First cake I baked in a long time…how to make butter cream less grainy?
It looks very homemade but that’s okay! It’s a vanilla yogurt cake with cherry-berry herbal tea infused butter cream and fresh strawberries on top.
It’s mildly sweet which is what I prefer! And the butter cream is super fluffy and airy which is the goal cause I wanted it to feel light and fresh. And I did a barely covered cake, like a crumb coat.
The butter cream is slightly grainy to me, yall have any tips? I used powdered sugar and beat it into the butter in small increments.
Overall I think the flavour profile is good and I hope my friend will be happy.
How can a parent watch their child be abused and say nothing?
I am a victim of sexual abuse, as well as other forms of abuse and neglect. I’m now an adult and struggling to understand how my parents could’ve been in the room while it happened and not have noticed or said something. Or to know these family members had a history of molesting and beating their own children and not have considered that maybe they weren’t the suitable option to babysit me for hours everyday for 10 years.
Like to say you never saw signs of the abuse and that if you did it would’ve stopped immediately. But I remember crying for help on the phone and then they’d do nothing. Or like in the room at a family gathering and for the abuser(s) to make me sit on his lap and I refused and then was coerced into doing so by the abuser and my parents were in the room and said nothing? Like this abuser had me sitting in his lap at 8 years old when I said I wanted to sit on my own chair, and he has his hands doing some inappropriate things and not one adult in that room saw anything??
And to claim now as I am an adult that you never saw signs and I never said anything. And that since you couldn’t afford childcare they were your only option? My parents very well could afford childcare as two full time working people with 6 figure incomes. And let’s say they’re cheap and don’t want to then why were these family members the first choice???
I just can’t seem to rationalize the choices they made to let me be molested and much worse and beaten and called names. And to continue to claim they love me and did their best.
My parents themselves were abusive and neglectful but I still can’t rationalize them letting be sexually abused for my entire childhood.
I don’t love my parents but I love this salad
Chopped lettuce, green onion, avocado, black olives, black beans, chopped up chicken, ranch, salsa, and some spices (cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt)
I’m tired of people saying that my parents did their best and that I love them deep down and that they love me in their own way. I don’t love my parents in fact, they disgust me and ruined any childhood I could’ve had with the abuse and neglect! Even as an adult they try and ruin my life and punish me for living my own life the way I want to! I’ll never see my cat again cause they said I can’t see him anymore and he’s 17 and probably gonna die and never see me again. I took care of him since he was a baby and now I won’t ever see him again. They don’t like my partner and completely fucked up how I view the world and family!
Celebrated mother’s days with in-laws as a child of someone who didn’t want to be a mother and told me so.
Felt so uncomfortable celebrating Mother’s Day and seeing people who liked being mothers and were proud of the title. Some kind words would be nice cause I’m honestly just so down about the fact I don’t have a mom who wants me. I’m honestly scared I’ll be a bad mother one day or that people can tell I came from home of abuse and neglect.
