my first public stuffing🫦
2 days ago for lunch i had my first public stuffing. my master took csre of everything and was perfectly clear on his instructions.
it was just me at a texas bbq restaurant and i ordered everything he told me too, which ended uo being enough for 2-3 people according to american portions, so probably 4-5 people.
a plate of brisket, loaded baked potato and corn, a second plate of plate of ribs, potato salad and more corn, an extra of mac n cheese and then a HUGE pulled pork sandwich 😵‍💫 all paired with sweet tea and then a piece of cheesecake and a piece of chocolate cale for dessert
i ate as fast as i could, not only so i could fir more in me but because i wanted to leave. i was mortified, i felt like everyone was looking at me and judging and i had never been so wet before🥴🥵
i think thats the most ive ever eaten in a stuffing. it was extremely hard. i had the meat sweats, was trying to de discreet with my burps and i couldn't touch myself in anyway to encourage me to eat because i was in public. after a while i could feel air in my lower belly and it only got worse the more i ate.
took me almost 3hrs to finish everything and have a moment before i could stand uo and leave
i couldn't tug my shirt down enough to cover my belly by the time i was done. if i pulled more i would have left with my tits out. so i had to walk out with my belly on display and then have itnthat way on the uber too! trying not to moan as we hit bumps or potholes and my poor stomach complined. my belly was super gurly too🫣
Tumblr media
anyways here is the aftermath. as always detrading comments and dms are always welcome💞🐽

(the same painties but rolled down. so tight😮‍💨)

this is the kin call anon from last week! i am a little shy, but i'm happy to talk like this. thank you for your response last time. i will share some of my favorite recipes with you- i know that links don't work in anonymous asks, so i hope this workaround uh, works lol. bbcgoodfood (dot) com (slash) recipes (slash) roast-new-potatoes-radishes - always making this in summer. it's so, so good. simplyhomecooked (dot) com (slash) easy-hanami-dango-recipe - did you know that dango is like weirdly easy to make at home? i didn't until recently. you can make all different kinds with this recipe too. i also like making mochi, which is kind of similar. justonecookbook (dot) com (slash) oyakodon - i don't eat meat very often personally but this dish is so nice. i haven't been able to find any mitsuba where i live though. i really want to try it... i love cooking and baking haha. you should share some of your favorite recipes too, if you want to. i hope you're having a good week.
WAAA you must be such a talented cook! i definitely want to share these with my friend who cooks for us. I think hed love to help make the oyakodon. ive never eaten a radish before, gotta try that one too. mitsuba sounds very intriguing though, i can imagine a lot of things itd be good on! i wonder if i could grow some in my garden this year....
my very favorite food in the whole wide world is tiramisu. i have never used the same recipe twice since i only make it a couple times a year. but i find its a very difficult to ruin dessert. extremely rich but not overly sugary since its predominant flavors are smooth, cold cream, espresso and rum. which i also love, thats gotta be some of the best flavors something could be.
i moved into a new house last fall and im looking forward to the growing season. im planning on testing the soil ph, building a rain collection barrel stand (so that i can use it for watering the garden), and putting some big planters in my 3 seasons room. long term i want to get some chickens as well; my area is suburban and the back of our lot has a huge thicket so i think i could get away with building a coop. legally you can keep 3 hens without a permit! i want to hand raise them.
i have been doing more physical therapy and beginners yoga! and still trying to get a job. ive been pretty morose but starting to climb out of the well yknow. not a bad week at all. :-) sorry it took so long for me to write a response, i wanted to type it on my desktop instead of my tiny phone keyboard.

Can Cats Eat Garlic? 10 All Facts You Must Know
 Why is Garlic Harmful to Cats?
Thiosulphates are compounds found in garlic that can cause oxidative damage to red blood cells in cats. This can result in Heinz body anemia, which can be fatal if untreated. Because cats have a lower tolerance for these compounds, they are more susceptible to the toxic effects of garlic than dogs or humans.
As a result, cats should not be given garlic or any medications or supplements that contain garlic.
How Much Garlic Can Cats Eat?
Garlic is toxic to cats, causing vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, anemia, lethargy, and even death. Although the toxic dose of garlic for cats is unknown, one small clove of garlic per kilogram of body weight can be harmful.
As a result, it's best to avoid giving your cat garlic or any other Allium species (e.g., onion, chives, leeks). Seek veterinary attention right away if you suspect your cat has consumed garlic or other toxic substances.

Butter in small amounts isn't bad for cats, but when it's mixed with garlic, it becomes dangerous for them to eat. Garlic and other foods that are bad for cats should be kept out of their reach.
Garlic sauce: Can cats eat it?
Garlic sauce is not good for cats to eat. Garlic and onion can be harmful to cats because they have chemicals in them that hurt their red blood cells and cause anemia. Also, garlic sauce has a lot of fat and spices, which can upset a cat's stomach and make it throw up or have diarrhea. It's best to stick to a cat's normal diet and not give them foods from people that could hurt them.
Is garlic powder used in store-bought food for cats?
Commercial cat food does sometimes have garlic powder in it. But it's important to remember that too much garlic can be harmful to cats, so it's usually only used in very small amounts as a flavoring agent and not as a source of nutrition. Some experts say that garlic in cat food should never be used at all, while others say that small amounts are safe and even helpful.
In the end, it's up to each cat owner to decide if they're comfortable giving their cats foods with garlic powder or not.

To people with fussy kids or know fussy kids. Just leave them be. If they are eating then it's OK.
I'm a fussy eater and my parents never forced me to eat anything, I now eat mushrooms, eggs, mayonnaise, peppers and pasta bake. All things I hated eating growing up that within the last year Ive started to like.
Yes there's still a lot of food I don't like eating like, carrots, cake (unless it's red velvet for some reason), cauliflower, potato's (not too bad with this one, I can eat them I just don't like to), literally any meat at all, fish etc
I've never eaten meat in my life. Apparently I use to spit it out as a child so I've grown up vegetarian and still am, whilst the rest of my family eat me. I use to eat prawns but I'm not a big fan of them anymore.
The message of this post is, just give fussy eaters time, they'll come around. My first time trying a mushroom was during lockdown and that's because my dad offered me a cheesy mushroom, i didn't like it at first but told them I did and they started giving me mushrooms and I am now obsessed with mushrooms. Not raw mushrooms though. Disgusting. Egg was when I was on holiday, my dad ordered me a omelet with spicies as there wasn't much else for me to eat and I really enjoyed it. Pasta bake was just me complaining about having plain pasta so my mum found a cheese and tomato one which I enjoyed. Peppers, well that's simple, sainsbury has a banging halloumi wrap with peppers in it and with mayonnaise they only ever use to make cheese sandwiches with mayo so i started to like it only for them to start doing plain cheese. Will I ever eat meat? Probably not, everytime i try I feel sick so I avoid it like the plague. But still, we come around to these new foods, we get frustrated at not having fun meals like others or we get sick of eating the same meal and we will willingly try other foods. Its just about time and patience.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk. Felt needed after witnessing a mum complaining on tik tok about fussy children.

Have you ever wished you had a different middle name? Oh yes, it is way, WAY too common. How often do you need to wash your hair? I NEED to really every other day, but that doesn't mean I do it... What brand is your current shampoo? Does it have a specific scent? We always get Suave. Mom got coconut-scented this time. Has anything annoyed or upset you recently? Today at the party, I had to listen to my stepmother and Ashley's mother-in-law talk anti-vax and anti-mask utter bullshit. I was sitting right beside them and I had to message my boyfriend to distract myself and keep my mouth shut lmao. Fucking Kim goes, "If The Lord wants me to go out by this virus, then so be it, there's no stopping it," LIKE NO HUNNY go get the fucking vaccine that's saving lives and get to see your grandkids grow up. I am so beyond done with people fighting science and pretending a quick Google search equates to having a fucking PhD in virology. Know the goddamn limits of your personal knowledge of complex subjects that require such a deep time investment to become even mildly well-versed in the topic. I just want humanity to come together and work as one with ending this shit. When was the last time you took painkillers? I'm on a prescription painkiller for my legs, even though it's only working a very minute amount. Tomorrow will be my first day doubling the dose to see if it helps. Has there recently been a thunderstorm where you live? No, but it POURED rain overnight a few nights back. It was windy as hell too, so you just heard the rain and wind alike absolutely hammering against the windows. Do you recall the last time you saw a spider anywhere in your house? Hm... good question. Is there a beverage that you drink more often than anything else? These days, it's either sugar free pink lemonade or V8 Splash. Do you enjoy horror films? Can you recommend any good ones? Oh yes. I particularly love The Blair Witch Project (plus the sequel) and The Crazies. What condiments do you put on your burger? Mustard and ketchup, and I don't mind some mayo being on burgers I order as fast food. Have you ever taken part in an organized protest? No. If you could spend a year in another country where would you go? Germany. Who is your favorite evil fictional character? This is actually a complex question for me with the moral reasonings behind my top two "bad" entities that come to mind first. Darkiplier is of course #1, but his "evil" is far more righteous vengeance and having the script flipped on him than just being plain malignant. Then there's Pyramid Head, whose primary purpose is to punish the guilty of acts that truly are wicked, and help them come to terms with what has been done. Even in the movie universe, his prerogative is to protect Alessa, a truly innocent girl, though his violent acts certainly can make him appear evil.

megthemaggot replied to your post: ok i was going to type this out but i forgot what...
i agree and request more vegetable blogging
corn is alright but i think youre not supposed to eat it. i found a worm in a cob once but thats unrelated
cauliflower is kinda gross, but honestly take my thoughts on that with a grain of salt because the only cauliflower ive eaten was those gross dry ones in those big vegetable trays people bring to parties for some reason and the one time i was close to having one other than that they got freezer-burned. bad until proven otherwise
carrots... not exactly a vegetable i guess but its ok. kinda boring and bitter on its own. GREAT in stew and curry though, absolutely essentail in either of these
i know potatos definitely arent vegetables, but theyre good. absolutely the best, actually. like carrots its really good in curry and stew, but theres so many other things you can do with it to make it wonderful. fries? baked? mashed? beautiful, delicious, amazing. opinion on sweet potatos is mixed because i never eat them at the right temperature
brocoli is of course good. soft, tastes nice, pleasant, also looks like small trees and its fun to eat the buds off first
onions are decent. once again, good in stew, but has other uses as well. garlic is good for cooking mushrooms, which can also be good (though still not a vegetable)
lettuce is decent, good for sandwiches. very crinkly
tomatoes are gross

Can Cats Eat Garlic? 10 All Facts You Must Know
 Why Is Garlic Toxic to Cats?
Garlic contains thiosulphates, which can cause oxidative damage to red blood cells in cats. This can result in Heinz body anemia, which can be fatal if not treated. Cats are more susceptible to the toxic effects of garlic than dogs or humans because they have a lower tolerance for these compounds.
As a result, cats should not be fed garlic or given garlic-containing medications or supplements.
How Much Garlic Is Dangerous for Cats?
Garlic is toxic to cats and can cause vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, anemia, lethargy, and even death. The toxic dose of garlic for cats is unknown, but as little as one small clove of garlic per kilogram of body weight can be harmful.
As a result, it is best to avoid feeding your cat garlic or any other Allium species (e.g., onion, chives, leeks). If you suspect your cat has consumed garlic or other toxic substances, seek veterinary attention right away.
Symptoms of Garlic Poisoning in Cats
Garlic poisoning in cats can cause vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, lethargy, weakness, pale gums, rapid breathing, and anemia. In extreme cases, the cat may collapse or suffer organ damage. Garlic is toxic to cats and should be avoided in their diet. If you suspect your cat has eaten garlic, seek veterinary attention right away.
What Should You Do If Your Cat Eats Garlic?
If your cat consumes garlic, you should contact your veterinarian immediately. Garlic is toxic to cats and can damage their red blood cells, resulting in anemia or even death. Garlic toxicity in cats can cause vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and difficulty breathing. Garlic toxicity treatment may include inducing vomiting, administering activated charcoal, and providing supportive care such as IV fluids and blood transfusions.
Never give your cat garlic or any other human food without first consulting with your veterinarian.
Cat Anemia and Garlic
Garlic, in large enough quantities, can be toxic to cats and cause hemolytic anemia. This is because garlic contains thiosulphates, which can damage red blood cells and impair their ability to carry oxygen. Anemia in cats causes weakness, lethargy, loss of appetite, and pale gums.
If you suspect your cat has eaten garlic or is showing signs of anemia, seek veterinary attention right away.
Preventing Cats from Consuming Garlic By Accident
Garlic is toxic to cats and can cause serious health problems such as anemia, vomiting, and diarrhea. To keep cats from accidentally consuming garlic, keep all forms of garlic, including fresh, powdered, and cooked garlic, out of their reach. This includes storing garlic in closed containers and keeping it away from countertops and tables where cats can easily access it.
Additionally, be mindful of the ingredients in any food or medication you give your cat, as some products may contain hidden sources of garlic. Before giving your cat any new food or medication, always consult your veterinarian.
If you suspect your cat has eaten garlic, keep an eye out for signs of toxicity, such as weakness, pale gums, and difficulty breathing. If you notice any of these symptoms, call your veterinarian right away.
