I hope you ladies are having a great start to your weekend! A little reminder for us all - I used food as an award for when I get my work done. Or I ignore my hunger because Iām too busy or as a punishment to myself. Nowadays, I like to eat too much to give a damn!!
Whatās your favorite meal or meals? I have too many but Iām definitely always down for a burger and fries 
I do love that image 
I love so many meals and love food / eating
My go to meal is a tofu stir fry
If it has rice or noodles Iām usually very happy , onions ā¦onions are big in my life too
That sounds so yummy!! Do you make it or order it from a certain spot?
Agreed!! I love a good bowl of buttered noodles - itās cheap and filling.
Funny you mention onions. My boyfriend made dinner last night and while he was chopping the onions itās like the smell filled the whole houseā¦ but so did the tearing effect 
I was in the bedroom and I was still crying while he was cutting!!
It is delicious and spicy LOL ā i make at home
Love spicy 
send the recipe if you can Iād love to try it!!
If you like kick, I make mashed potatoes with horse radish. Normally I just eyeball it but it adds a tasty spice to it!! Oh, and of course lots of cheese 
Yum - that sounds good too ā mashed potatoes with a kick ā my kinda style
I cut the Extra firm tofu in small squares and pan fry on medium heat using light amount of sesame oil - i like em crispy so continue till the tofu is golden brown
In another pan I cook up the portabella mushrooms in light amount of sesame oil
brown rice noodles or udon noodles i boil and then coat in ginger and chili oil
cook up the veggies (i get a stir fry blend from costco but can improvise if needed)- always add more broccoli as there is never enough LOL. ā cooked in sesame oil, chili oil, chili paste, soy sauce, lots of ginger powder
Mix everything together and enjoy ā usually takes me about 10 min to prepare
Canāt wait to make!! I donāt cook (thatās why Iām with someone who loves cooking) but that sounds so easy!!
super easy and yummy - looking forward to hearing what you think

Good morning ladies! Letās make this day a great one!! 
Ladies!!! I need your help!!! Iām Reflecting on an old friendshipā¦ I met them in June & we spent all summer together. The thing is, they would make weird comments to me with sexual undertones or just plain flirty. Iāll admit, I had a little crush on her, but once I really got to know herā¦ that was it. Oh, and I have a boyfriend that I live with who Iāve been with for almost 4 years!!! Anyway, my friend ended up crashing on my couch bc they were going through a ābreak up not break upā with their boyfriend. Unfortunately after a few days an emergency came up where I wouldnāt be home for 3-4 days and my boyfriend works afternoons/night so we doesnāt get home until midnight. She didnāt have a key to my place to I kindly asked if she had anywhere else to stay. She said āyep no problemā - if she said no I was fully prepared to give her my key so she could let herself in instead of waiting in her car for my boyfriend until midnight (when she gets off at 6 pm normally). Anyway, a few days later I texted her to check up and she ghosted me! All the while she was sad posting on social media - I know this sounds like teenage bs but it hurt my feelings!! Then two weeks later she texted me āhey long time no talkā and I havenāt texted her back. That was about two weeks ago. I donāt want to be friends with them anymore and they smoke and drink to cope with their problems and I actually didnāt get sober u til AFTER I stopped hanging out with them bc we would smoke alll the time and when I would try to quit and then go back to it she never tried to stop and help with my urges ā¦. am I being a bad friend?
Nah, just do you. It was a lot less complex in early days for me to keep my focus on babying my sobriety, nurturing it. Life is short, cultivate friendships that bring happiness, peace and ease. Or better yet, cultivate that in yourself for a while to build your self up. 
And while it is wonderful to have friends and family who actually know what support is and practice it, not everyone is always aware or able to do so. Thatās why it has been so important for me to be my own biggest fan and to cultivate those friendships and groups (like here) where I do have supportive friends.
If you do end up reconnecting, it would be important in my experience to have a conversation with her about what you are working on and how support looks for you, as well as how you could support them in their own goals.
Just my experience. Take what you need and leave the rest. 
You are not being a bad friend! If this friend needed a place to stay and you opened up your place and then they ghosted you cause you were unable to accommodate for 1 night then that is BS and a red flag.
Being around this friend does not help your sobriety and in my opinion - your sobriety should be first priority. You have only know this person for months so it is not a long term bond or connection. I know that in my sober journey I came to find out who was going to help me succeed and be there for me no matter what and who was just along for the fun ride. Of course it hurt to let go of friendships but ā I HAD to shed a lot of people from my life as I am learning to take care of me and put my needs first.
Thank youā¦ I needed to hear that!!
WARNING: I JUST NEED TO VENT.
Ok girls I think this thread has just become my own personal bitching thread. Sorry, but I have to get it out. Ive always felt more comfortable venting to women. My day was ok, nothing at work went wrong, but I was in my head all day and at the end of it we got super busy toward closing and I got flustered. I think Iām PMSāing too because I have been so mean to myself since I left work. I didnāt make any big mistakes - in fact I donāt think I made any mistakes today!!! So why do I feel like this? My house is a wreck, and when I try to clean I get overwhelmed. My boyfriend was raised with a mom who cleaned after him so he never learned how to do it. When I ask him if he can, he cleans, but itās a half ass job so I feel like I need to go behind him and do it myself but itās just so much that I shut down after ten minutes of trying to clean. I just order a shit Ton of food bc Iām starving, still need to shower, and my house is still a wreck. And I need to go in early tomorrow because I didnāt finish my tasking for today so I have to go in early tomorrow to do it because my actual day starts.
Anyway, the highlight is I donāt want to smoke and I did NOT go to the bar to drink to āunwindā
How was everyone elseās day? Tomorrow will be better I know!! Thanks for letting me vent
