How do you all deal with weekend food?
  • I do the same thing.. but on purpose. M-F is my healthy meal prep, and the weekend is when I go wild and allow myself to eat out a lot and get whatever I'd like. It's like a treat for making it through the week.

    I'm thinking of cutting back on my weekend eating out tho (cost reasons), so I might need to start prepping something a little different for the weekend to keep myself in check.

  • [Discussion] What are you eating/cooking this week? July 10, 2023
  • I usually food prep on Mondays for the week and I have such a bad habit of making WAY too many different things for dinner. I can never choose just one thing and end up with a mix of what feels like a bunch of different small meals lol

    So I made pizza with red pepper and almond pesto, mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes, basil, and pistachios

    Then I made a salad with spinach, spring mix, tomatoes, a variety of beans, jalapeno, and cauliflower.. added some of the leftover pistachios, basil, and mozzarella and mixed it up with some olive oil and a bunch of spices.

    Then I made some crispy baked sweet potato and brussel sprouts.

    And I'm obsessed with the fried rice cakes from Trader Joe's, so I cooked up some of the tteok bokki they sell.

    Outside of that, I got a few yogurts and some fruit for lunch (decided to try something new so got plumcots and cherry plums).

    And I have a heck of a sweet tooth, so I picked up some ube mochi, chili dried mango, chili and lime rolled tortilla chips, and blueberry waffles just to have around the house.

    Now that I'm reading this all over, this really does feel like a crazy amount of food lol

  • whats a game that you got significantly far into, only to realize you were doing something wrong or missing a key feature/ability altogether?
  • I don't know if this really counts, but I kind of self sabatoge myself with almost any game that has skill points that aren't easily resettable. I'm so indecisive into what to place them into that I end up holding onto the points without using them. So I miss out on power up skills, spells, all sorts of things depending on the game.

  • Why shouldn't anyone switch to iOS?
  • I like the freedom that comes with android. Being able to customize what I want, download third party apps, easily use third party accessories. I even have it connected to my computer so I can text and open my apps from there.

    Apple is just so... closed off. I don't own any other apple products (and I do not plan on it) so I don't even get the full benefits of having the whole ecosystem going. There's just not an upside to using iOS over Android for my personal use case.

    Also, I'm currently using a Samsung Fold and I don't know if I could go back to a regular phone lol. It's just so unique and really fantastic for multitasking. I don't think it's possible to open more than app side by side on iPhone? (Correct me if I'm wrong) but I regularly use 2 to 3 side by side and even have the option to add a 4th in pop-up view if I wanted to lol.

    It's really all preference, but I've just never been a big Apple fan and I don't really like the UI designs for most of their products.

  • Gaming often fetishises the new but many great things exist in the past, so let's strap into our time machines and talk about our favourite games released before say 2010?
  • I definitely have a few controversial choices. But DQ7 is legitimately my favorite DQ game and I always thought it didn't get the attention it deserved. It was a long one to get through though.

    I'd argue that having Chrono Cross and not Chrono Trigger is even spicier lol. But I think it's really just nostalgia since that's what I sunk a lot of hours into back then. I remember hunting everywhere for Final Fantasy Chronicles because it included a copy of Chrono Trigger, but I could never get my hands on it.

    • Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete (My favorite of all time)
