I need to learn to make lasagna. I'm surprised anyone on HIH would be ok with this given how vehemently people are against eating other peoples food. Sorry, I didn't know that. I just remembered that I and other people here had struggled putting food on the table this year and thought this was a sweet idea.

I am a food giver/maker and I grew up learning that in times of crisis you fed your neighbor, so I think this a great idea. It wasn't until I came here that I learned people don't eat from other people.

It wasn't until I came here that I learned people don't eat from other people. Yeah, the disgust some people show for even the thought of eating other people’s food is really bothersome to me, and when conversations about it start, I have to see myself out. I’ve struggled with food insecurity, even as recently as this past year. We’re a one income family since I can’t work right now because of my health. MH got really sick two different times last year and he didn’t have any paid sick leave. It was embarrassing and I felt ashamed. I know I shouldn’t feel that way, but the stigma society attaches to it makes it feel shameful. If it weren’t for my friends/neighbors (some who I didn’t know), we would have gone without. Never once did it cross my mind whether or not we should eat it. I was just grateful that my kids weren’t going to go to bed hungry. And as someone who worked in/was raised in the food/restaurant industry (my father has worked in the industry almost his whole career) it’s laughable to me that people turn up their noses to homemade food, like restaurants are any better. I’ve seen some nasty shit go down in some kitchens and it’s ignored because either management doesn’t really care or we’ve been in the middle of a lunch/dinner rush and didn’t have time to remake something. I promise you, those scores from the health department really don’t mean shit 😂

LaRo422 my BIL is a chef in a fanceh town and he is very stringent about cleanliness. He's seen some true horror in some very nice restaurants though and rolls his eyes hard at the ratings. There's a high degree of bribes that happen with inspectors and it's a known system.

LaRo422 I share your sentiments. Food is a labor of love for many people, and it's necessary for survival. One of my priorities in raising my kids is for them to be grateful for the food they receive - whether it's from me or a casserole from a neighbor or a school lunch they might not like. It's a privilege to be picky about where your food comes from and who prepared it. I even get bothered about some people's attitudes regarding organic food- despite buying a lot of organic food myself, because it is a privilege to both have access to that and also to be able to afford it. And having worked in restaurants...yeah. I've seen some things. I'd rather risk getting a bit of food poisoning (and this is rare, not something I've ever truly worried about) from something someone prepared at their home than offend them by insinuating their food is not up to my standards. *obviously food allergies are a different animal* Anyway, I get very heated quickly about food stuff too. I generally do not engage.

This article was a great reminder of all the things Kamala and her family are bringing to the White House. In addition to her being the first female, and the first of both Black and Indian descent she also has a blended family, an interracial and interfaith marriage, etc. These are all common situations across our country but are rarely represented in high political office. www.nytimes.com/2021/01/17/us/kamala-harris-doug-emhoff-family-inauguration.html

MTP just shows a poll that 30% of republicans disapprove of Jill Biden. First, I don’t think most of them could pick her out of a lineup. Second, why? They probably know nothing about her at all other than she is a woman.

Big woof but I also fucking hate Rubio so it's a hard call! I'd vote for Rubio if they are the only 2. Better the devil you know than the devil's direct spawn That's what I'd do as well.

Thank you for posting! I was so glad to see the COVID memorial. It has seemed so bizarre to me that hundreds of thousands have died and there has been no national recognition. I am glad they are recognizing these losses.

I just watched the interview on CBS Sunday morning with Kamala and Doug. So sweet and comforting. Such a stark contrast to the current administration

It’s hard to plan my meeting schedule on Weds when everything is TBD, but I get it.

I share the same thoughts here about the food disgust that goes on on this board so often. I don’t go and frequent buffets but if I’m at a party or friend/family’s house and they have a buffet of food out, I don’t blink an eye. People offering to make me food, I always always say yes. It’s free food! And I’m lucky enough to not even be food insecure currently. Idk, the judginess around all that gets to me too.

I cannot believe I’m going to say this but Rep Nancy Mace made a lot of sense on MTP this morning. While I wholly disagree with her stance on impeachment and how to hold T accountable, her other points were not wrong. I think if the GOP has more people like her and less like Matt Gaetz, etc, they can make a quicker recovery from the Trump Era.
