"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

That’s wonderful, Hec. You raised a great kid there.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Yeah, there are some applesauces that I'd put in the ulta-processed category, but not by default.

Okay, Google informs me that there are some applesauces that are more than just apples and water (and, in some cases, cinnamon?). I'm willing to say sugar doesn't need to be added to applesauce, but these article authors need to stop using such a wide brush to label all applesauce as ultraprocessed. It makes me and my unsweetened applesauce sad.

Aw, Hec. This is not to say that nobody should look after themselves or anything, I mean, do your best. But I also think that life should feel like more than some long syndrome that we are all in treatment for.(maybe I do eat a few too many consolation prizes, though.) But anybody worried about grape-eating, outside a very specific situation, or a roomful of dogs...I kind of think they need a life.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

WOOHOO STRONG TEP HUGS

Framed jerseys with retired numbers, O love it! Two years and no errors is amazing

I have had to accept that I just don't like the taste of dates. It's a bit sad-making because they are an excellent source of sweetness.

Oh yes. I will be hugging. (Just don't make it weird.)

Are you new here?

I figured I should at least attempt a boundary.

Our weirdness recognizes no boundaries!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I ate 4 dates a day for the last month of each of my pregnancies.

It may take until the boys are in their teens before I am not over dates

But WHY Debet? For a whole month? What does it do? Or were you just weirdly craving?

Y’all I am back on the higher dose of this GLP1 and it is amazing. No more “oooh put food in your mouth you want food you’re not hungry but foooooood”. I would skip the whole “takes away your appetite” part of it in favor of just the losing cravings and food noise bit. Sigh.

Our wings are not tired.

Awww, Hec, that is just beautiful. I'm so happy that Matilda had this great experience.

A restaurant near me used to have DUCK FAT FRIED DATES with labne on their menu.

My mom used to make a stuffed dates with walnuts dessert thing that she was so proud of that we would bring to school bake sales. I couldn't stand them, but I would give the duck fat fried dates with labne a try!
