We always hear about people’s bad habits but what’s your good habit? Mine is whenever I have a meal that has vegetables in it I always eat that first. That way I get it out if the way then I can enjoy the rest of meal without having to worry about eating it.
Probably writing. I make sure to write a little every day. I feel like it helps me keep a rhythm and allows me to reflect on the things I care about, the things I’m thinking about, and what I’ve done that day.
That way I get it out if the way then I can enjoy the rest of meal without having to worry about eating it.
I always find it so weird to hear that there really are people that genuinely dislike vegetables. Or am I misunderstanding this? I love veggies :D
Oh, it’s not that I don’t like them. But if I have the option to eat a steak or some veggies, I’d rather eat the steak.
Well, to each their own :D
I like some but dislike most. I love peas, corn, (soft) carrots, black eyed peas. Green beans are meh, depends how they’re cooked. Can’t do broccoli or asparagus or spinach or any of the really green stuff.
Unsolicited advice incoming!
Green beans stir-fried with tofu or something are great. Could also try broccoli stir-fried; if you manage to cook them just enough that they still have some snap, they’re great.
Asparagus painted with butter, grilled, then served with lemon juice squeezed over them are heavenly.
Spinach I only like fresh so I sympathize.
I really dislike tofu, the taste and texture both are just blech. However, I don’t universally hate green beans; a friend of mine makes this green bean and potato casserole with dill flavoring and that shit is great. But just by themselves, boiled or whatever, meh.
Asparagus painted with butter, grilled, then served with lemon juice squeezed over them are heavenly.
At that point you’re just burying the flavor of the asparagus with butter and lemon juice, and I can think of better-tasting things to convey those flavors. ;)
I’m rather colourblind, so I’m really not sure what the really green stuff is. Are peas not really green? I thought they were orange for a very long time, but I’m pretty sure I’ve been told they’re green, actually.
Black eyed peas freaking rock. I love black eyed pea salad with onion and tuna. A shame you don’t vibe with broccoli… I love roasted broccoli, especially. Oh well!
Green beans, broccoli, spinach, brussels sprouts, stuff like that. Peas are green but they’re kind of a lighter green instead fo the darker green of those foods.
Since it’s important for health to consume some of the green stuff, it’s helpful to find out how you dislike it least. For instance, cooked spinach is just as revolting as raw, but you only have to swallow about a quarter of the amount because of shrinkage. Broccoli and Brussels Sprouts are better if you roast them until they mostly taste like brown. And shrinkage happens there, too.
Zucchini is a green vegetable that’s less offensive imho, and can hide in a spaghetti sauce without ruining it.
Don’t go with any recipe that “celebrates the delicious flavor” of anything you don’t already like.
You can also be your own mom and puree veggies into the gravy/sauce of your meat.
Anyway, good on you for eating the veggies first. It’ll also start filling you up, so the steak will feel more satisfying.
I eat celery and peas, I like scallions in certain dishes, I get pickles and lettuce on my burgers or sandwiches… I’m eating plenty of green stuff, just not that green stuff. I’ve never tried zucchini tho, will have to check that out.
Hmmm yeah, I guess I just don’t get it - or don’t see it, more accurately.
So the color isn’t what bothers me obviously, but the color is affected by the same things that affect the flavor. There’s a very strong green taste in stuff like spinach and broccoli that either isn’t there or is quite a bit milder in peas, and that’s what I have issue with.
I wonder if that’s genetic; there’s people that say celery tastes like soap, for example. I thought it might be something similar.
Celery I don’t mind, it’s just pretty bland without PB or cheese or w/e. I think you’re thinking of cilantro though, and… probably a combination of nature and nurture; I’m sure if I ate more of those foods as a kid I would like them more too. shrug
I weightlift 5 days a week, I only eat whole foods with veggies at every meal and always brush my teeth before bed.
I haven’t always had this habit, but I brush my teeth twice a day and floss before bed.
I make my bed every day.
Returning the shopping cart
I was a carry-out at my local hardware store for a few years in college. I brought carts in from the corrals and helped people load heavy stuff. I’ve seen and been victim to the damage caused when a rogue cart catches the wind and fucks off down the parking lot. People that leave their cart not in a corral or inside disgust me more than more most lazy people.
You’re my hero, dude.
Thank you. I couldn’t figure out anything I do right, but this is the thing I always do.
We are good people!
I never hit snooze. I get up once my alarm goes off.
Probably helps that I sleep like absolute shit and was already tossing and turning anyway lol
I never get up without snoozing at least once, even if I’m already awake
oh dude, me too.
Sad high five o/\o
Sad high five indeed lol
Exercising regularly! I do it because it gives me a kind of rush, but I realize that it’s also making me healthier in the long run (hehe)
If I make a typo, rather than autocorrecting or deleting a few characters I delete the whole word and re-type it from the beginning. That way the correct spelling gets into my muscle memory and I’m much less likely to make the typo again in the future.
If I make a typo, I try to keep as many of the letters on the page as possible - no need to throw them away and use new ones. Waste not.
This. Been doing this for decades and it’s great. Still fuck certain words up for some reason tho. Separate, people, etc.
“ie” vs “ei” are my kryptonite. e.g. receive, sieve.
I after E except after C and when sounded like A as in neighbor and weigh (and a thousand other exceptions)
and a thousand other exception
👆 🤦♂️ 🤣
Or whenever I please, as in feisty and seize!
Yup, I get seize backwards a lot cause it violates the i before e except after c rule.
Maybe if you think real hard about a person going into a seizure and flinging themselves backwards, it’ll pop back in your head the next time you go to type “seize” and help you remember.
I mean I know how it’s spelled, I recognize it when I get it backwards, it’s just muscle-memory fucks me about half the time.
One of us! Also for anyone who doesn’t know, you can do ctrl+backspace to instantly delete the entire word. It’s usually faster to do that and retype it than it is to hit backspace precisely enough times to get to the typo!
I’m good with general personal upkeep. Always do the dishes right after every meal, always shower daily, brush my teeth twice a day, etc. I also try to have vegetables every meal, but sometimes I will skip if I’m too lazy to cook vegetables (I’m also not too sure as to what constitutes “eating your veggies” tbh—do onions count? What about tomato sauce? etc)
I’ve gotten better at saying please and thank you often, I guess
Not looking at my keyboard when typing. I switched to colemak last year, and since then I’ve managed to get into the habit of typing without looking. Which is very useful now that my keyboard stickers are starting to come off so it shows some letters twice and others not at all 😅
I sprint stairs. Always. 3-5 a time, always have always will (until that future fateful day…)
Sprint up or sprint down? Cuz 5 stairs at a time up is mad talent
Sproingy!
Five stairs at time down would break my ankles
Telling my kids I love them, regularly and randomly. My parents only told me they loved me after yelling at me (or worse) and it took a long time for me to understand the toll that’s had on my relationships with them.
Out of the 31 meals i eat per week, i usually cook at least 27…most of those from scratch.
You’re eating 4-5 meals a day? Bodybuilder?
Sounds like your kids are gonna be alright!
Heh. Yeah I guess I did my math wrong there hahaha. Let’s quietly subtract 10 and forget it ever happened…
Always finish a shower with cold water!
I do yoga twice a week
