#io’s tomato anon

[yurucamp]

hello io! i hope that you're doing well (no stomach ache! or at least a manageable one..). i've been wanting to ask you about your favourite fruits, vegetables, and plants! you drew persimmon fruits recently, which i adore. i'm trying to plan gardening for the next planting season, so i'm asking lots of people. also wanted to thank you for sharing your photography - you've inspired me to take even more photos - i want to see beauty everywhere. hope that you're taking care. stay safe!

hi anon! what a wonderful question... honestly, it would be much easier for me to list the fruits and vegetables i don't like (i hate pineapples and am largely negative towards brussel sprouts). basically any vegetable can be prepared in a scrumptious way, but if i had to choose a handful to subsist off of, it would be radishes, cucumbers, red cabbage, sea buckthorn, endives, oyster mushrooms, pomegranate, figs, good apples (aport, macoun!), honey mandarins... oh, is rhubarb a fruit? i adore rhubarb most of all

as for planting, maybe you're not far north enough for it, but you should plant rhubarb, it's a perfect herald of spring! i also think fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, even if they are the most generic thing to plant, can beat out pretty much anything... i especially like the green zebra cultivar of tomatoes if you can find it, they are yummmmmmy!! and the zucchini conundrum is really a blessing, because they are such a versatile vegetable; lebanese zucchini fritters, georgian zucchini rolls, and any sort of sweet zucchini bread/muffin are all divine

good luck with your garden and thank you so much for the message! i'm so overjoyed to read it and hear that (about the photos); it's easy to feel silly for stopping to take a photo of everything, but i am so much better off for having the ability to preserve and recall the little spontaneous moments of beauty. (my mom beats me in this regard, i can't take a walk with her without losing her and then finding her crouched behind a dumpster trying to capture a photo of textures on the facade of an abandoned building. i have such a respect for her ability to find collage everywhere and i want to carry it into my own life.)

Elenca i cinque blog che segui con più interesse su tumblr e motiva la tua risposta

HA! Anon! Così poi ti dico 5 blog e perdo tutti gli altri follower! :( ste’ domande a trabocchetto, ma mica sono un niubbo di Tumblr IO!

Vabbè, rispondere è cortesia, quindi, anche se 5 è un numero davvero brutto, io adoro tutti quelli che seguo e ai quali commento oppure ci sentiamo in privato, provo a darti una risposta a modo mio. L’ordine è quasi casuale.

La prima è compaesana, ma proprio dirimpettaia, del tipo appendo i panni e la saluto, e la seguo perché ci intendiamo ad un livello dove altri non possono capirci. Per fare un esempio, se adesso scrivo ce verimm abbascie a cup, oppure c’u’ jamm a piglià nu’ cafe’ ‘ncopp o’ Vialon?? lo capisce solo lei. Ridiamo come due scemi a battute che capiamo solo noi, scrive cose e mette foto che poi mi riportano a tanti ricordi, insomma è un qualcosa oltre il blog. Poi non le piacciono i tag, quindi penso di aver fatto cosa buona e giusta.

La seconda è pugliese, ed è la persona più fuori che io conosca. Come posso farti capire, fuori come un geranio fatto a varichina in trasferta di lavoro a Bayanbulag in Mongolia. E la adoro da morire quando suona la chitarra.

Il terzo è torinese, bel tipo lui, sa cucinare, si tiene in forma, ogni tanto gli parte la bolla di fare video demenziali, ed è una di quelle persone che ti raccontano sempre come stanno le cose, anche quando non ti piace sentirle.

La quarta, corregionale, scrive dei post bellissimi e dei pensieri che Baci Perugina levatevi, e ne sa di film più di Rotten Tomatoes e Metacritic messi insieme: di quanti film mi ha consigliato, non ne ha sgarrato uno. Che dire, TOP.

La quinta non ho mai ben capito da dove venga, diciamo che ha un po’ di (2), diretta come (3), ma ti spiazza sempre, cucina malissimo scaricando le colpe sul suo alter ego qui in Tumblr, illude Papero con promesse tipo “ti regalo il 386 che ho in soffitta” e poi niente 386, però se non la segui ti perdi davvero davvero tanto.

E poi, la sesta ... beh, la sesta è @i-am-a-polpetta. Punto.

Do you think it's possible to go vegan if you also have food allergies or intolerances? I have reflux disease and a lot of other digestive weirdness and can't eat tomatoes or citrus or anything spicy at all really. Like even black pepper makes me sick. Would vegetarian food be super boring if you need to keep it pretty bland?

Hi Anon!

I think you could definitely go vegan, but you need to look into balancing what you eat. My mother has Reflux Disease (also called a Hiatal Hernia) and she has problems with some food as well, but not the same ones you have. She can’t have sun dried tomatoes or even eating too quickly triggers her condition. She eats dried pineapple (as it can settle the stomach) to help combat the symptoms. 

But back to Vegetarian/veganism - Can you do it? Yes! but you’re going to have to be careful. The biggest issues with Veggie diets (I'm talking vegan, vegetarian or plant-based) is vitamins and protein. This is more important for you as you can’t eat some foods. But every food has some combination of vitamins, minerals and protein you can eat a varied diet or supplement.

—->

Lets start with Protein. Protein for Humans is Derived from Amino Acids.

(Source: X)Protein a hot topic when anyone discusses Vegetarianism or Veganism, but its actually not as big of an issue as people think. So long as you can get all 20 Amino Acids, in enough quantities, you won’t have any issues. Everything has protein. From the tiny pea to the mighty bread. Eating a varied enough diet will help you keep up on your protein. Depending on what your stomach has issues with you can augment your diet to adjust.

(Source: X)

 Nuts, Quinoa, whole grains and beans/legumes are great sources of multiple Amino Acids(But everything from kale to an apple has amino acids).

Vitamins -  There are some issues with vitamin deficiencies while following a Vegetarian or Vegan diet. The main ones people worry about are B vitamins (specifically B12) and Iron. But given your issue with citrus, you may want to eat more vitamin C heavy foods (such as Kiwi’s, broccoli or strawberries)

Iron is one that mostly female vegetarians/vegan worry about most given the monthly week-long purge of iron from the body. However, it can be a worry for Male vegetarians/vegans too. I myself Have adored spinach throughout my life and frankly eat so much of it I probably never need to worry about Iron. 

       How can you get Iron?

(Source: X)               Spinach, Lentils, Beans, Kale, nuts, quinoa, fortified cereals, collard                  greens,  tofu and so on. There's many options and (I hope) many you                can eat. Look up: Vegetarian foods high in ____ and you’ll likely find                  something you like and can eat.

B12 is a vitamin that is commonly held to being only found in meat, but it is technically not the meat itself. B12 is a vitamin created by a type of bacteria (Source: X, X, X) that is found not only in the intestinal tract of people and animals but also on organics in nature. B12 can be found in natural water sources that are unfiltered (PSA I am not saying go drink lake/river water! Drink water that is properly cleaned please!!) and on plants we eat (before we rinse them off, but in very low quantities). Humans cannot create b12 that is absorbed back into our body, but we can absorb it from other sources. As Vegetarians and Vegans are not eating animals, I highly recommend you take a b12 supplement of at least 1000mcg a week to twice a week. B12 is necessary to your brain’s normal function.

For your worry of blandness, you can easily make food flavorful without eating what affects your stomach. Soy sauce, honey/maple syrup, mustard, garlic, ginger and so on. (hopefully some fo those are ok by you) Replacement cooking is something I think everyone should learn. Let’s take an example, You didn’t mention garlic so I’ll assume that’s ok for you to eat. You can use chilled oil and garlic and blend it together with a bit of salt to make a creamy sauce for pasta or potatoes. It’s super flavorful (although a bit higher in fat that of a tomato sauce equivalent but you can balance meals around it)

Overall, you should look at eating a varied diet, balancing what you eat for macro and micro nutrients while still avoiding the foods that affect your reflux disease. Make sure to make allowances for vitamins that you may have less of due to your reflux disease. I highly recommend MyFitnessPal (available on Ios or Android) to keep track of your nutrient intake as well as track your macros (Fat, Carbs and Protein).

Best of luck and I hope I answered your question! Feel free to reach out!

Yes that was tomato anon hehehe sorry. I also wanted to mention how perfectly cast every character was??? Like yes i loved the main characters so much, but even the minor characters were played so well and i became so attached to everyone (well almost everyone) especially the soldier boys, the village ladies, and seri's assistants 🥺 - tomato

Y E S gosh we love a good plot for side characters!! it makes it so realistic and bring more tears :”) like when the village ladies got the cosmetics i literally cried so hard. all seri needed was one friend to not be lonely and scared but she got so many 🥺🥺 i was actually going through the cast with one of my irls and its wild that most of the cast is around 40 but then eundong’s actor is legit 17 KSNDJAJA LIKE !!?! they actually made sure he fit his character omg.

the side character stories are so precious ;( who was ur fav?? i think mine is probably manbok or eundong

[writeiolite]

Thank you so much for the recs!!!!! Have you finished the series already, and have you been drinking water to make up for all the tears shed? - tomato

no problem!! :D AND AAAA IM ON EP 15 NOW👀👀 i haven’t cried too much since ep 9 — mostly bc the suspenseful stuff is too much for me so i play it at double speed (lmfao @myherowritings if u haven’t already pls watch crash landing on you and do this KDNSKKAAK)

bro fuck it. i’m just updating this as i watch since it’s in my queue and i’m.... literally what the hell am i watching ???? this has been such a rollercoaster. i literally don’t know what i’m supposed to do with myself. i cant believe someone sat down and made this idea for funsies. what the fuck i’m so sad. i’m pouring tears right now. just sobbing on my floor. i literally ????

my head hurts so bad and i just sobbed so so so hard that i gagged while the mothers were meeting .... i literally vvvgggghgg?!/‘??!!/?1’a i never wanna go through this again at the same time that i want a sequel LMAO

[writeiolite]
