  • My kids call me “bean lady” for my love of beans. They are a perfect food.

    Red beans and rice (red beans cooked with small chopped veg, long grain white rice)

    Pinto beans on brown rice, with tahini.

    Pinto beans on brown rice, with chili paste.

    Pinto beans refried with breakfast.

    Lentil dal with coconut milk and spinach (or lately with Hong Tsoi because it grows here, spinach is too fussy. )

    Garbanzo bean soup with potatoes and chorizo.

    Ful mudamas with pita and feta cheese and scallions

    Channa masala so spicy, with chopped onion and mixed pickle, on white basmati

    Red lentils and greens on sourdough toast. East with knife and fork.

    Brothy enormous white beans cooked in veg broth but with a Parmesan rind or a bone.

    I really truly love beans.


  • I mean, so are nuts, olives, plenty of foods are high in fat. I don’t think it was mayonnaise making people fat.l, it’s from way before the 80s. (And BTW, people are fatter now, at least where I live.) I can make mayonnaise at home, it’s food, and hasn’t ever made me fat.

    The prevalence of obesity in American adults (age 20–74, both genders) rose from 15.0% in 1976–1980, to 23.3% in 1988–1994, and to 30.9% in 1999–2000. 40.3% in 1994.











  • I got married to my husband for two reasons. Mostly because his preference to be married was stronger than my preference to avoid it my whole life, but another big reason was that “stepfather” has more legal rights here than “mom’s boyfriend”. It was easier for him to pick my kids up from school or take them to the doctor, things like that. Same with me & his kids .


  • I didn’t marry my ex, 4 kids, over 20 years, we were a family. There should be (there were for us) forms you can fill out to give each other access for medical information and also to set each other as the responsible party if you are incapable. You don’t have to be married. We had to get something notarized, that was all. Find out if you can do that where you are.





  • Well until the baby comes out, lol. The things I remember trying that were much harder with the constantly shifting weight distribution were roller skating and cartwheels. Bigger and bigger till the baby punches its way out of your abdomen (since in sex ed they probably didn’t cover that part either).

    But seriously, if women can handle that constant change in weight distribution, I am sure a guy with a massive schlong can handle having it without falling over. Unless it has a mind of its own and gets tangled around his legs or something.
