we’re having some family over for dinner in a couple weeks and i’m having trouble trying to pull together a menu… would love some suggestions!

out of four people, one person is a vegetarian who will eat anything as long as it doesn’t have meat which is normally pretty easy to work around, but harder given that one of the folks is a very picky eater. from what i can tell, he generally doesn’t eat most fish or most pork, doesn’t eat a ton of vegetables, doesn’t like sharp cheeses, prefers food bland, dislikes most “exotic” spices. foods i’ve seen him enjoy are spaghetti and meatballs, pizza, and mashed potatoes and lightly salted chicken breast.

given all this, do folks have any suggestions? i’m having an especially hard time because i cook a lot of asian food and basically most asian spices are off the table. italian might be okay though. thanks!

i frequented r/menslib and it was actually fairly leftist and clear about the ways that traditional concepts of patriarchy often disadvantages men and encourages inclusivity and talking about mental health. it certainly takes more intentionality, but i think they do it pretty well.

 

My partner and I are expecting our first in December and very excited but not quite sure of what to expect or… how to do any of it, really. What resources helped you when you were first diving into parenthood?

yup exactly!! there seem to be a lot of ways that this information is being oversimplified in misleading ways, especially given how opaque and complicated the college admissions systems already seems in its acceptance factors.

my other thought about all this is that all these talks about class- or race-conscious admissions at the top tier schools are a bit of a red herring… realistically the impact of these policies from a social mobility perspective is going to be much bigger from mid tier/more publicly accessible schools (eg: state schools).

funnily enough, i'm not really sure that based on this medicore whites can necessarily rest easier. the university of california system stopped affirmative action policies in the 90s but since then, the white population has actually made losses rather than gains in being admitted to the university of california. for example, for ucla, it looks like the percentage of whites admitted has never gone back to 1995 (during affirmative action) levels. i think the individual implementation of these post-affirmative action policies by the educational establishments seems to be the real make or break here.

i wonder what kind of tangible effect this will have overall, given how opaque and discretionary college admissions standards are in the first place. if an institution wanted to, couldn’t class-conscious policies geared towards underrepresented geographies and first generation college students achieve a similar outcome while skirting the ruling on race explicitly?

it's crunchy, and it's so much more convenient than peeling it off every time...

fish heads... they're just so much cheaper than the rest of the fish and delicious in the air fryer. also i'll eat the tails on shrimp.

salami chips?? i've never even considered this concept, fascinating... also i have a super bizarre pregnancy appetite going on right now so if it's not a triple processed carbohydrate i'm considering it a huge health win haha

happy first comment and thanks for the idea!! i love wings and definitely need to eat more carrots so def gonna give this a try.

 

hello internet pals! i am posting in the hopes that folks have some good lazy (but perhaps still somewhat healthy?) air fryer or microwave meal / snack recipes to share because i’ve fallen into a bit of a cooking rut lately and easy new recipes would definitely help inspire me.

korean egg rice: crack an egg into a bowl of rice and mix with sesame oil and soy sauce, microwave for 2 min, sprinkle some furikake on top if you’ve got it and you’ve got a solid comfort food in like 5 mins tops
