You hear it as a joke when you’re young, but it’s not til you’re old that you realize “you are what you eat” is literal.

Ah I didn’t see that little spiral graph. I agree with you for anyone who keeps their knives sharp. But if you’re trying to cut thin slices off a roast and have to choose between a bread knife and a dull chef’s knife, I’d likely go for the bread knife. That said, I don’t know they intended it that way, and it totally could have just been an error.

I don’t see this suggesting a bread knife for meat, but a dull serrated blade beats a worn plain edge for any purpose. And produce is anything grown like fruit and veg.

As a chef, the only inaccuracy I see here is that bamboo cutting boards are good for knives. They are a great, cheap, sustainable option, but the silica content makes bamboo incredibly hard, and it will dull your blades faster than wood or plastic cutting boards.

That’s definitely Big Boy with the fro in the front

Suspect wanted to kill Jews, stabbed an unsuspecting Spaniard. Hate to say it, but you really do never expect the Inquisition.

“Betty! Looking great, new shoes?”

How is it any more efficient than a toilet with high and low volume flush options?

Lol thank you, got two new names for the Church of Landlord Day Saints now

What kind of real estate cult now?

It is possible that many soft foods could still cause issues, like small seeds in a smoothie or the skin of a bean getting stuck somewhere and causing issues. I’d follow the common advice in this thread and take some ideas of very soft foods to your doctor and ask about them specifically. Might as well make sure, but if they double down on only those 3 foods being safe, I’d trust em at that point.

Smoothies and beans are top options if you have any flexibility though, so many ways you can make/flavor both.

My grandfather did the same time and time again, really ticked me off. I tried to live up to the mantle, but full-sized clocks were too big. I couldn’t even bear to watch. The difference may feel minute, but my grandpa always rubbed it in. He’d say “what’s mine is hours.” The man could kill time like no other, though, gotta hand it to that cuckoo bastard.

Just like many Russian accidents, those undersea cables just fell out of windows.

“Vell, you didn’t have to be rude about it.”

Yes, Mr. Fascist-who-thought-posting-those-photos-was-normal-behavior, I’m sure it was the size of your penis that potential partners found off-putting… Surely you’ve solved the issue now.

“One more thing, I almost forgot… My wife tells me my memory is so bad, she’s surprised I remember the route to work, I’ll tell you. But this one loose end just keeps bothering me–how exactly is the US defending democracy by interfering in free, open elections? Anyway I’ll leave you to it, have a lovely night.”

Parenti reminds me of a communist Columbo.

If you’re totally uninterested, independently of potential awkwardness, I’d basically explain as much. “I think you’re cool and we have a lot in common, but I’ve been thinking and realized I might not be comfortable with the age difference and potentially changing the group dynamic.”

If it’s purely the potential external consequences that have you ready to cut off the possibility, and you could actually see yourself in a relationship with them, I’d say you could mention that concern, but don’t let it make the decision for you. Sounds like this is someone likely to understand social anxiety and who also values the group dynamic, so I doubt they’d react super negatively to mentioning that you want to be careful about that and preserve it while seeing if there’s more there between the two of you.
