Bailey's Irish Cream. I don't really drink and yet love that. Worked at Hagan Dazs for a while and those Bailey shakes were where it was at. Matcha and Pistachio are next in line.

You might not like it, but I have huge barbie issues and went with my 11 yo thinking it would be okay and poke a but of fun and have a slightly feminist bent. I truly loved every minute and am surprised how much I did. It is formulaic but done really well.

I wouldn't do it at home. I'm wondering about restaurants that do this. Idk but I'm sure it isn't good.

[–] Hera@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yup, I use glassware at home almost exclusively. Just that piping hot restaurant food in plastic ware. Honestly, I just rather cook my family food that I know is made with love and care. Can't do it all the time though.

That makes sense. I use glass Tupperware at home and always cringe when my husband brings home the plastic ware from a restaurant piping hot.

I wonder about hot food in plastic containers? I try to avoid but some places my family loves puts piping hot food in plastic.

 

I want to add Ani DiFranco lyrics in my mind since her death: "Imagine you're a girl, just trying to finally come clean, knowing full well they would prefer you were dirty, and smiling."

Too young. Far too young. I appreciate her voice and the harm she called attention to. Long live Sinead O'Connor.

I totally get your thinking, and really thought this put and almost went that route. But she is 11, I want to see how she uses this stuff and have an active part in it and teaching her how to navigate because at this age there is no holding back. Maybe if all the kids had dumb phones that tracked location or something but it is not the world we live in. I pretty much agree with the comment below yours except on social media. I have a hard fucking no stop and I think, I can't be sure but really think, my kid gets why that is just so terrible. Thankfully we don't use it so it's easier to call that a cesspool. We'll aside from reddit and now lemmy 😉

Why thank you. Not many wins in life so I'm gonna take this comment into the weekend, Friend. Be well!

[–] Hera@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm with you on this. I blocked them too and my kid knows why. The commenter above may mean more using/having a smart phone and internet access generally and I reluctantly agree for the most part. But yeah, fuck social media and it's debilitating impact. Not just on youth, I don't use that shit because five minutes makes my fairly successful ass feel terrible too! Just toxic all around.
