Sending you all the good thoughts from Eastern Canada Trim.  Lots of us here are rooting for you guys.

I did home-made dog food for years. There’s a science to making pet food- micronutrients, fiber and such. I had to supplement the dog’s calcium intake among other things. (Thank goodness tums taste like candy.)

If we’re looking for inclusivity and getting past shaming then Madison’s character should be mentioned in the This Is Us slide. People who struggle with eating and weight issues come in all sizes.

Noooo!

I fucking hate pickled beets. (Well, all beets actually)

I did not know this and now I too am pissed off.  

This is some next level thinking.  

Me too!  I will let you know how it went once we do. I think that the bacon fat popcorn and the dirty pan roasted veggies will be the winners.

My dear you would be the guest of honor. I haven’t seen my kids in a very long time. I cannot tell you how many things of yours I have bookmarked for when we’re able to all get into the kitchen together again.

Whenever (if ever) this pandemic is over, I am going to rent a cabin, buy some groceries (lots) and invite my kids for an Eat Like Claire vacation.

“...Vogue recommends exercise and journaling.

I get that. Mine was 2 weeks in Paris.

Yeah and I am perplexed and a bit disappointed that with their resources (educational, financial and access) that they are taking the approach that they are.

German Shepherds by and large need a job and protection will be high on that list if they are left to figure out their role on their own. He is probably a very good dog who doesn’t have a clear idea of wtf is going on or how he fits into that. Being sent away again for training will be more confusing to him IMO.

Except for a Chipotle, I haven’t seen Mexican food in France.  I did once order nachos in Paris’ 20th arrondissement and the base was nacho cheese flavored doritos instead of plain tortilla chips.  They were so close...

I too am an adventurous eater and it’s a hard no for me on the mushrooms too.  I’ve had well meaning people tell me that I just need to have them in such & such a way. I’m good.  I’ve tried them enough to know that they’re not for me.  

Came here to say this.  Exactly wtf is she supposed to do?

My former boss was a real asshole that I could write a book about. Sociopath, borderline personality and mommie dearest all come to mind when I try to think of how to describe them.

Hugs if wanted.  It’s a hard spot to be in and I’m sorry. 

IDK where you are but I’m in a similar (exactly the same) situation as your husband here in Atlantic Canada. I am a US citizen and spouse is dual so we are weighing the pros and cons of returning to the US to get vaccined.
