February 15, 2021 at 7:58 pmOooh that soup recipe sounds amazing you always share the best links!! Interested in hearing about deciding not to have kids (interestingly this has come up with people who keep asking when / if we’ll have another and … one pandemic baby isn’t enough?? 🙄). Honestly everyone just needs to mind their business. Anyway excited to bookmark and go through!

February 16, 2021 at 1:16 amIt’s true that periods can sometimes come across as passive-aggressive or sound overly serious. When texting, I often use smileys to lighten it up. But I like the suggestion to just simply omit the period and break up a long text into several texts. I’ll try that next time!

February 16, 2021 at 5:49 amInteresting article on women deciding not to have kids. Sometimes I have to remind myself I’m not the only one who has made this decision! I’m 38 and can write a book on the nosy and downright rude folk who think I have to justify this choice. Yes I’m married without kids and no I don’t have to give you 20 reasons why.
Thank you for sharing the link!

February 19, 2021 at 1:21 pmLuckily, I have a lot of lovely friends who decided to not have kids, so I feel like I am in good company…. but yeah, people can definitely be nosey and there are a gazillion reasons why people don’t have kids, so there’s really no place for anyone to judge!

February 16, 2021 at 5:59 amThat baking soda trick is cool! I need to try that this weekend! I usually have the drain off our meat but that sounds like a way better solution, especially if it makes the meat taste even better!
San
February 19, 2021 at 1:21 pmIt sounds like THE solution to cooking ground meat (have not tried it myself yet!).

February 20, 2021 at 9:39 amOooh, that soup looks good! I might have to drop the rice, though – not a fan of rice in soups, for some reason. The reasons for being childfree were also very interesting – as someone who does not have kids, I’m fortunately past the age of people asking me if I’m going to get pregnant anytime soon (sigh…).

February 22, 2021 at 1:34 pmYou can definitely drop the rice or rotate in some other grains (farro, barley) or even potatoes instead!

February 23, 2021 at 12:57 pmGood to know, thanks! Longwood Gardens, near Philadelphia, makes this wonderful mushroom soup (not vegan, thanks to liberal use of heavy cream!) and this sounds like the closest approximation I’ve found. Minus the rice. :)
