I actually don’t think so...it may be taro, but doesn’t taro turn a uniform lavender-lilac purple when cooked? I always thought it was a turnip-like root. Looked up common tempura vegetables and I am fairly sure it’s burdock.

ETA: I think I’m wrong. They seem to julienne the burdock up into string fry-like shapes to

Burdock roots! (I think)

Pretty sure the white and purple ones are burdock roots.

Also, what about lotus root, pumpkin and other squashes?

My guess? They’ll do away with the “pale mare” and it’ll be greyscale instead.

My experience: when a man in my field (I’m an ESL teacher to adults) expresses confidence in his work, he’s taken at his word that there’s something to be confident about, even if he’s not that great. If I express confidence in my work, people who don’t even really know me or my work immediately assume I’m

I see why some people feel that way or think of it that way. Doesn’t work for me though - helping someone else earn money is not the same as earning it myself, and doesn’t carry the same cachet if I were in that situation and then needed to earn my own money.

Well, you are against giving women the choice to remain pregnant or not, to carry a fetus to term or not. You oppose women having that choice. So, in a way, you are anti-choice.

I know, I know, you’ll come back with “because we believe that fetus is a life and so killing it is no better than murder, and nobody has the

I think usually it is better if the state makes certain decisions for children, mostly regarding health care, the right not to be abused, and education. The state is ostensibly secular so if intelligent design were taught, there is recourse in the courts for that.

But anyway, all parents, liberal conservative or

One example about chores - which, you don’t know if the kids were well aware that there would be trouble if they expressed a preference for the chores thought of as the purview of the other gender, and so expressed a desire for the ones they normally do because any other answer would set off fireworks - doesn’t mean

Hey, that actually happened to me. My parents were quite secure in the liberal, “Jesus is love” Christianity I was raised with and I was allowed to learn, roam, travel, read and socialize freely. They were quite secure that I would grow up to follow the values they’d so carefully taught me.

...I’m an atheist.

So...

Families where parents maintain more control that are not cult-ish still let their children experience, explore, and learn about the outside world and other beliefs.

A friend of mine actually went to school with her, but they didn’t know each other really. But, that friend has nothing bad to say about her from first person experience or class rumors.

It is accurate...for me.

Person with no baby here...

I would love to be able to think of it that way too, but...even though I have an incredibly strong marriage, what happens if...something happens? Whether that’s death or divorce or what? If I’m not earning money, what happens if the person who does is suddenly not there? Or what happens if he is there, but something

I would too - though I’d probably go back to work on my own terms eventually after a good long break and some further education.

As I see it, the issue isn’t not wanting to work. We’d all love to clock out permanently! The issue for me is the feeling of someone else bankrolling it. Even though I trust my husband

A lot of people who say things like that (“a feminist nightmare”) would probably be wise to say what they really mean: a nightmare FOR THEM. Your life sounds fine for you. That’s cool. But it’d be a nightmare for me. Just personally speaking.

Not the “professionally not working” part...I wouldn’t mind not having to

No, you don’t fucking refund. They fucking SEND THE ITEM BACK and THEN you refund or they can suck it.

OOH OOH I have one.

Yeah no fuck ‘em, thanks to PayPal we were stranded in Turkey for a week with no money. They can suck my dick, I don’t care how many transactions go off well.
