I have one of “those” siblings too. All I can say is be there unconditionally for your family as much as your time/energy allows. And make sure to kill him with kindness every chance you get. Go out of your way to say I love you, congratulate him on achievements, hug him and let him know you’re glad he’s your brother.

ah, i’m sorry it’s like this. i wanted to reply earlier but wasn’t sure.

Great comment on both accounts. I almost always get the soondubu jjigae at Hmart food court when I go shopping there and have bought the kits you linked to above and both are pretty dang good

Forgot the mandolin.  I use it for gratins a few times a year and nothing cuts french fries like it does.  I actually use it at least a half dozen times a year or more.

I can’t believe Dior still runs that idiotic commercial with him playing guitar in the desert with the wolves running around like a bunch of labrador retrievers. 

Huzzah!

His roles in The Favourite, The Great, and The Menu all seem like variations on a theme (not that I’m complaining, he’s fantastic in the first two).

If you don’t have a sous vide (or a container in which you can prep it), may I recommend doing the upside down roast? You start the turkey breast down directly in the pan for the first 2/3 of roasting time. Then you flip it over and put it on a rack in the pan for the remaining 1/3. You get all the benefits of the…

I’ve found using the language of special needs has really helped get us better around the system

Aronososky’s comments are a problem, but not an uncommon assumption. Also an offensive and infantilizing opinion.

User name checks out.

I was watching a K-Drama where they were looking for a kidnap (possible murder) victim in Seoul and couldn’t figure out where they could be stashed. One officer commented “This isn’t like in America where everyone has a cabin they can use.” America as the land of murder-cabins was a stereotype I had managed to never…

I watch them too, because of my wife, usually on the Rakuten ap. She seems to stay away from the ones popular here. Sky Castle, Green Mothers Club, Hometown Cha Cha Cha were all pretty good. Sky Castle especially. 

I’d have sex with Andrew Garfield but I would be thinking about Tobey Maguire the whole time

Sweet potato noodles for japchae are always on my list. So easy to make for a weeknight dinner if only you have that key ingredient. We always keep a can or two of lychee on hand because just dumping it in a bowl with ice is a great dessert for a hot day in a pinch. Kiwi knives are super cheap, super sharp, and lasted…

Banh mi, FTW!!!

So glad to see this! My brother turned me onto the show recently. I had no idea how popular it was. I used to watch 2-3 K-dramas at a time when I lived in a part of Los Angeles that had TWO UHF broadcast channels with Korean programming (thankfully providing subtitles). I got out of that habit as some of the familiar…

Fast and bulbous?

One thing stands out to me that a lot of men could do that would probably improve their relationships with women (or their chances for developing a meaningful relationship with a woman): Deepen their relationships with other men. A lot of men are lonely and isolated, and look to women to solve this an other emotional…

When I heard that title, I thought finally someone is going to tell the truth about the bourgeoisie. It would be hard to imagine a less fair and accurate portrait.
