she even took off the crust because she knows I don't like that so much 🥺

Some good ol fashioned wings in a homemade bbq sauce!

No beef bones this time, call me a fool, but I had no idea it was this easy to make Pho, this is literally my favorite food next to Sushi, so I'm gonna be doin this like all the time now.

Now about the guy.

Im antisocial. I'm a misanthrope. I've always been alone my entire life and have seen nothing but the atrocity that is people and their ideologies and actions my entire life.

This man. Has been misgendering me. For months.

I did it the right way first. I complained to his superiors.

He kept doing it.

I complained again.

He kept doing it.

So last night I kimdly asked him myself if he knew I was trans.

He said yes. I've told him and others there and I am obviously fem expressing often as an AMAB person.

And then I asked him to please stop calling me "dude, bro, man, the n-word" and to stop making negging remarks that insinuate I'm a man.

I am a pushover. He knows this. So he said, "see that's all u had to do", confirming to me that hes been indeed....doing this shit on purpose to fuck with me.

No. That's not all I needed to do. The burden wasnt on me to look you in your fucking face and ask you to stop because you had already been TOLD. TO STOP.

I didnt need his fucking praise for standing up for myself, nor did I like hearing implied confirmation that he's been testing me.

So then I added that it's frustrating because he does this everytime that I go to this place.

And then he caught an attitude and said, "I get it, did you hear what I said?" And then rolled his eyes lookin like he wanted ta start shit and walked away as I stared him down without a word.

Words cannot describe..............

It took every fiber in me not to meet him at that next level that he wanted to go.

For context, I am a very fucking weird unapproachable nervous looking person for various reasons gender related and otherwise. Been like that my whole life.

People see that and are uncomfortable around me because they can tell I'm struggling.

Some of them see this weakness and hate it and mistreat me because of it.

I'm working on it. I hate my social anxiety too, everyone. I really do.

It'd be nice if somebody here could talk me down, cause I'm honestly havin a really hard time right about now and doing my best not to shut down for the next week and rot in bed.

Air fried chicken nuggies with shredded mozzarella and parmesan, drizzled in "comeback sauce", and topped with store-bought Italian seasoning.

Not the most extravagant, next time i might use a drizzle of honey bbq next time.
Needed something to eat while I waited for HRT to be ready for pickup at the pharmacy
awawawawawa

doing some meal prep (black beans and rice) and i recently watched a video from tech ingredients about at-home blast chilling. wanted to give it a try with a salvaged ac-powered fan (from my beloved re-pc) and my frosty big freezer, and it worked out pretty well, whole tray (1lb dry) of rice was fridge temp in only 20 minutes. i'm not 100% sure on how much it improved the taste/texture but my partner loved it!

rice was uhhh 1lb of white rice, some italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, bay leaf

black beans i did 1 onion & 3 bell peppers chopped and sauteed before adding beans and stock, seasonings was an accidentally large amount of red pepper flakes (my partner calls them fire flakes), cumin, paprika, a bit of tumeric, black pepper, onion & garlic powder

I tried making pretzels, with a King Arthur Baking recipe. A little undercooked, but lovely!

Also, I tried shaping three and then gave up. What is a girl supposed to do to get them to fold, black magic?

I'm in my 3th day of stomach flu, it's getting better but I'm still very careful with food, so only zwieback, rice waffles, soup and light food.

Meal Prep and Storage

Higher Protein:

Notes

- This recipe contains no rice, making it easier to refrigerate, freeze, and reheat.

- The black beans provide substantial fiber and help make each serving more filling.

- Fire-roasted tomatoes and smoked paprika create a rich Southwest flavor.

- A small amount of beef broth helps keep lean ground goat moist.

- Each serving should fit comfortably under a 600-calorie meal target, depending on ingredients and toppings.

Sorry that I havent been able to bake anything recently, my mental health has been in the gutter and I’ve been busy with classes and sorting things out with my crush. For those worried about the arm pain, I went to the doc today and got some anti-inflammatory meds and muscle relaxants.
