No need to go in depth about my life, unless anyone wants to, but what does the star mean energetically? Is it harmony or tension? I see they are trines but they’re facing in opposite directions.

Hey guys, I wanted to share my soup because I make a variation of this a lot. It’s great on a day where I have just a little energy, I definitely have lower spoon meals than this one but it’s pretty minimal effort and vegetables/proteins can be subbed for almost anything. It’s only about 10 min of prep/active cooking and it’s really good.

Ingredients

- broth
- Thai curry paste
- any vegetable
- any protein
- sugar
- lime
- fish sauce (optional, but I always use it)
- cilantro (optional, but I almost always use it unless I’m out)
- scallion (optional)
- jalapeños(optional)

Step 1: get a pot. If you have a protein that needs cooking on the stove, cook it in the pot. I used frozen/defrosted shrimp and cooked it for like 4 minutes. I’ve done no protein, rotisserie chicken, baked and shredded chicken, canned salmon, baked salmon, meatballs, premade chicken sausages (even the andouille kind because girl this ain’t authentic to any cuisine), shaved beef, tofu, catfish (catfish was kinda weird but I had it in the fridge).

Step 2: remove protein. Add a little oil (I used seasoned chili oil, but any is fine), add a scoop of Thai curry paste any color. Fry it for a second until it is fragrant. Add in the broth. Add a healthy pinch of sugar (I use brown but whatever works), add a small splash of fish sauce. Let it simmer 5-10 min. Coconut milk is also good at this step but not necessary.

Step 3: prepare vegetable in whatever way makes sense. It depends what I’m using. In this bowl I used raw zucchini noodles, so no cooking, just pour hot broth over them. But often I microwave pieces of cabbage, bok choy, or green beans. Sometimes I put tomato wedges in the pot when I fry the curry paste. Last week I used yellow squash and i sautéed it in the pot before I did the broth.

Step 4: put vegetables, meat, cilantro, chopped scallions (not pictured because everything is optional and I don’t have any), and jalapeno in the bowl, add whatever else you like too. Pour broth over it. Squeeze some lime juice on it. That’s it it’s done. If you want it spicier add the jalapeños to the broth as it simmers.

If you want to add instant noodles or rice (I buy the frozen microwave kind) that’s good too. Sometimes I roast a sweet potato on the side.

I feel like this reads as a lot of steps but it’s really not that bad. Virtually all of this is optional or customizable except the broth and curry paste bc that’s where majority of the flavor comes from. Also it takes 1 pot, 1 bowl, a plate or cutting board or just a paper towel on the counter lol, and a couple utensils.

I hope someone tries this and likes it, follow the steps with your heart, add or omit whatever, it’s hard to fuck up. Serve it in a pretty bowl if you have one!

I’m grappling with moving away from my Jupiter AC line. It’s where I’ve lived the longest (apart from my childhood home, which is on my NN dc line. Also where I currently live, alone in the city, not my old house). All my good lines are on the west coast, challenging ones are on the east. I was on the west coast for 5 years, from early 20s to late 20s. I wanted to be back closer to my family and close friends. I felt far away and was afraid to build the next chapter of my life far from the people I want close. I want kids and I want them to have cousins nearby and I want my parents closer so they can have grandkids nearby. I want to know my future nieces and nephews because they’re gonna come soon. I moved back east at 28 to change careers, go back to school, to stop feeling like I am living out extended teenage years in LA where I worked in the weed industry and resold clothes, just shopping and smoking and driving and consuming. Jupiter indeed. The last year in LA I was very unhappy and unfulfilled but committing to change it all so far physically from the people I want in my future wasn’t what I chose. I’m back east and I miss nature and freedom and I don’t feel like my life is any more together and I’m still not able to commit to building relationships or finding a new career path, the changes I tried to make weren’t working out, I was burning out trying to be someone I’m not. I’m currently on the north node line. I have a 7th house NN. The only thing that makes me feel like a person is being in nature and I’m not surrounded by enough nature here. Technically all of the earth is nature but I wanna go up a mountain and have access to better trails. Does anyone see anything I don’t? To me the west screams “good” and east screams “bad” but my logical brain chose a return to the east.

Covergirl ageless cream foundation in 215. Vs wet n wild natural ivory in winter.

I felt like my winter shade was too yellow so I got this one cause it looked straight pink. I think it’s an okay match, I’ve had to lighten the higher points of my face with concealer but that’s okay. Not intentionally trying to gain color, I wear spf every day but I’m probably catching strays especially later in the afternoon.

Anyway, I like how the pinker foundation looks. Happy with the switch up I feel like it looks much more natural.

Obviously chips aren’t gf specific BUT they do have a gf certification which is nice.

But man, no! No no no! I was so excited about a new snack but no. Gross. Tasted like a cucumber that’s gone bad. No! Photo from the website cause I just threw out my bag.

It was always my understanding as a child that the ribbons were supposed to be tied in a bow under your hair so it looks like a ribbon wrapped around your whole head. However, I never saw anyone wear it this way and the ribbons always hang down untied and tucked behind the ears. Genuinely always annoyed me because the concept seemed obvious and the execution looked terrible cause no one wore it as I assume it was intended. But perhaps I’ve been wrong all along and the ribbons were never supposed to be tied.

Anyone else ever think of this trend, 20 ish years later? And how did people around you wear it? Was my pocket of society dumb? Am I wrong about the purpose of the ribbons?

This feels almost nit picky to post cause it’s a damn instagram caption but I don’t like this, written by who I assume is abbeys mom.

Can’t her daughter go to a long time friend’s wedding and post some cute, normal photos? Without her mom going on a tangent about how abbey wanted to *be* her friend growing up and how her childhood was incredibly tough and exclusionary for her. I believe fully that it was but it just seems unnecessary when the occasion and all the photos convey only joy. The mom is always having abbey recant her childhood struggles for instagram and I get wanting to be a resource in the autism parenting community, but her mom is a bad resource.

I just feel like the caption could have been more appropriate for the event posted. It feels like she wants to push her ideas into all of abbeys content.
