Does anyone have a recipe for Belizean powder buns? A family friend used to make them and I moved away a few years ago and have been craving them. They said it was a family recipe and will not share… which fair lol. Does anyone know how I could make some or a recipe they are willing to share?
I cannot recall the last time I powered off or shut down my laptop. I restart it when there are updates, but otherwise I typically just close it shut and its always “on.”
Im just curious if others do this too. Also is it bad to not turn it off, am I ruining the battery?
Hi,
I am making 8 liters of horchata and it tastes more like arroz con leche than horchata.
I have never made such a large batch so I think I threw off the proportions.
How can I fix it, or should I just leave it to taste like arroz con leche lol. I dont want to water it down too much :(
My roommates from college and our friend group have a Friendsgiving dinner every year. Just for context I met them in Junior year during covid and I was a transfer and ended up being new to the friend group. My roommate’s were hesitant with me at first as their previous roommate was from the same city as me and she was an absolutely horrible person who claimed she knew who I was. Despite me never knowing her and us being from the same place as an absolute coincidence.
When I transferred to Uni I Didnt know a single person and was fortunate enough to have my roommate introduce me to their friends and we all became very close. I even brought them to my hometown where I introduced them to my family which I have never done with other friends before. We were really great friends for four years which I will always be grateful to them for. I had never felt so welcomed and in a place where I thought I had belonged before.
4 years later and everyone had graduated, I am a year younger. There was a birthday party last July for my friend who lived four hours away. Since she and three ( 8 total friends in group) had moved near them as well, we all decided we would make yearly trips to see them. One trip being a summer birthday party. Originally I planned on driving with the two friends who were nearby me which we always drove down together as a trio. This time plans changed as the other girl planned on driving with her friend. I also began dating my boyfriend at this time who I originally did not plan on inviting (as we we’re only dating for two month at this time) but the birthday girl extended the invite to him anyways. I, My boyfriend and my third male friend drove to the party together and I thought it was fine. Three weeks before the party we had all met anyway and they seemed to like my boyfriend.
Day of the party… I got way too drunk. I was not planning on drinking as I was supposed to drive but then my boyfriend volunteered to drive. My friend’s boyfriend’s brother assaulted myself and threaten to assault my boyfriend then her cousins boyfriend threatened to assault my boyfriend after I declined dancing with him and we had to leave early. I do not remember any of this, but based on several accounts ( from sober friends and family of the birthday girl) this is what happened and it all lines up. I told the cousin that her boyfriend threatened my boyfriend and there were also witnesses to the boyfriend’s brother assaulting me. I later discussed the events of the night when myself and everyone else was sober and we all appeared to be fine and continued on with life as usual. I had informed everyone about any threats that had occurred that night and we all recounted what happened and they said they would talk to the men who caused problems.
Months go by and everything seems to be normal. We had several groupchat that were as active as they had always been. And everything seemed fine.
Every year we usually plan a Friendsgiving. This year there was no mention of the event which I attributed to several individuals beginning there masters program and decided not to bring up.
However in the beginning of November, I noticed everyone had their location off which I figured was because my phone was acting up. The same day
Was my boyfriend’s birthday and I was posting pictures on my spam account when I noticed something odd. All my college friends had posted to their stories. But I could not see them on my main account. I do not use my spam account often so when I seen they were all posting there I thought it was weird. I double checked from my main IG and they had no stories. From my spam, they were all together and tagged each other without me which was really weird.
The thing is, the boyfriend of the cousin was extremely disliked by the group but I believe the cousin sided with him and convinced everyone else to side with her because she is extremely well liked. I honestly was extremely impressed by her and even looked up to her, she graduated early and was an amazing person. Her boyfriend was nowhere near the same page as her.
But where I messed up is as soon as I saw that they blocked me from seeing their stories and locations… I blocked them on everything without confronting them or letting them offer an explanation. I was so hurt that they could not talk to me about what was bothering me and they felt the need to plan something without telling me and hide it from me. Even though they had planed events without me before and I was completely aware and okay with. The reality enjoy The Weeknd and I am not a fan so they all went on a trip without me and I had no problem with that. I was just really hurt they felt the need to hide this from me and that they may have picked the cousin’s boyfriend’s side over me.
Anyway, I blocked them all on everything. Socials, numbers and emails. But they were my best friends, I thought they would be in my life forever and I have never had as much trust in friends as I had with them. I really miss them and want to reach out and ask what I did wrong and where I messed up.
So my question is should I reach out to them? Should I ask them what I did? Am I being pathetic for missing them after I immediately blocked them?
They were the best friends I ever had and I really miss them. What should I do?
TLDR: i was assaulted by my friends boyfriends brother and her cousins boyfriend then blocked by the friend group. I then blocked everyone but now I want to reach out. Should I? If I do what should I say?
Trigger warning ⚠️⚠️⚠️ mentions ASSAULT
