MM! I don't know much about you so may I ask... what are your three favorite things about yourself?

 

[MeekMe]

She’s beautiful.

Thank you.

Oh I miss my baby. His face looked really similar to yours!

Your baby not your face.

I’m sorry for you loss.

The pictures are a fun addition!

White shoes! I like the strawberry shirt.


What is your favorite color?

It’s my favorite T right now. My favorite color is green. It’s soothing and restful for the eyes and happens to be gorgeous to look at in nature.

MM! I don't know much about you so may I ask... what are your three favorite things about yourself?

Such a tough time to answer this. Three things? Okay, here were go!

I like my hair. This one is actually new to me. I used to hate my hair. It was thinning and in my mind severely unattractive so I would keep it short to hide it. I recently enlisted the help of a dermatologist and my hair has never been better. So I’m growing it out.

Two more things...

I like ... I will have to revisit this.

Revisit #1. I like that I can cook.

 

[MeekMe]

Do you like tattoos?

Not really. It’s fine for other people but I don’t like the idea for myself. It’s a commitment I’m not willing to make. In pursuit of some (probably unhealthy) ideal I have plans to remove at least one spot on my body that I don’t like. I feel I’d be the same towards a tattoo. I’d want it removed the moment I thought it was taking away aesthetically.

Do you still cook tofu the way you taught me? On the pan with mirin, soy etc?

I still do sometimes, and in my house it's known as Tofu a la Meeks.

 

[Ropebunny]

I’m looking for me. I’m having a crisis of identity and was hoping coming back would help me to figure it out. I feel like I was way more sure of myself when I originally started posting here.

Oh snap my friend! For what it’s worth, it’s been helping. I hope it works for you too

Now, there are oh so many greens! Tell me your favourite hues please (but I do also wanna know about your fav vege greens )

 

[ultramarineblue]

I do! This little menace is getting older so we recently installed some cat stairs on the wall to help her get to her high up hiding place.

So sweet! My cat has gotten a bit rotund as he has aged. I try to keep him in a diet but he's very demanding.

What do you like to cook?

 

[MeekMe]

Life just really fucked me up. This thread is on hiatus until further notice.

Adding another

Check in if you can.

If not, know a bunch of us do think of you. You've been missed here.

I do hope you come back, but I understand about life's curveballs thrown at you...I sincerely wish you well and hope you're able to return when you're ready.

Thinking of you while you work at straighting shit out. Please don’t hesitate to PM if you feel a vent would help

 

[MeekMe]

Thank you all for the supportive words. Based on my recent behavior I’m a little embarrassed. That probably means I should get some sleep before doing this, but I haven’t slept and it doesn’t seem to be happening today so ... Thread is back on. Please just be kind and don’t ask about the hiatus.

I haven’t in so long. I really became consumed by my job. I would really like to have it soon now that you’ve mentioned it.

Emeralds, and this beautiful chartreuse that happens when the new leaves appear in Spring. Arugula (rocket lettuce) is definitely at the top of the list. I’m a huge fan of most greens though.

I don’t know if it’s working. With my recent situation my hopes are kind of dashed.

What do you like to cook?

Lately I haven’t enjoyed cooking as much. I’m getting back into it. I prefer Japanese style meals with multiple small dishes. Something I’ve been making more is a dish called Oden. It’s various fried fish cakes simmered in a dashi based broth. Last night is was homemade cream of celery soup and as I wanted comfort baked chicken tenders from scratch. It was an odd but tasty combination.

 

[TANSTAAFL58]

Okay this has me intrigued: where did your interest in Japanese cooking come from?

 

[MeekMe]

Okay this has me intrigued: where did your interest in Japanese cooking come from?

My husband's family mostly. I wanted to please him and I happened to really enjoy the flavor palate so learned mostly on my own. Now it’s just part of my repertoire. I also have a curiosity for other cuisine so like to try new recipes when I can.

 

[BlackCaramelCreme]

What challenging meal to prepare would you like to try?

 

[MeekMe]

What challenging meal to prepare would you like to try?

I don’t really choose what to cook by how challenging it is. I actually prefer the most simple preparations with the best flavor. I cook for what tastes good. For a challenge, I might attempt making my own ramen broth. Not the quick version I would typically enjoy, but a rich pork broth would be amazing.

Are you a writer? Do you share what you write or just write for yourself?

 

[cookiecat]

What do you do to relax, feel at peace?

 

[MeekMe]

What do you do to relax, feel at peace?

Paint my nails on the floor of my closet. The small space is essential to the “at peace” part.

Other things I do is listen to ASMR or binaural beats before sleep. I don’t always do this though. It’s helpful when I want to sleep but don’t want to take Rx for it.

Those all sound delicious. I may need to look them up!

The greens you described are gorgeous. They are so cool and fresh and full of life.

What is your favorite candy?

Green is very soothing. I’ve always been a fan even though I prefer to see nature from a comfortable place.

Favorite candy? Not a particular candy but I have some favorite flavors. Mint has always been in my top candy flavors, but violets is newer to me. I can only find violet flavored anything in smaller specialty stores or butcher shops so recently impulse bought two different kinds of violet mints. I really love florals and have a taste for them, I think others may feel they “taste like soap.” That isn’t the case for me, but I do think they taste “pretty.”

I've had a few floral flavored candies and they were different. I don't remember liking them but I wonder if I would like them more now. I love mint flavors.

What is something you didn't expect to like but did?

You suggested this in a thread I made a while back when I couldn't sleep.

ASMR was new to me but I found it got in to my head and I focused too much. However, in going down the rabbit hole of you tube / "put me to sleep" stuff, I did hit on some meditation music. It really helped.

Do you ever go in to other forums like How To, Playground, etc?
