say something nice about you

Vixx

Go on, do it. Here I’ll start.

If you only had 20% to give today and you gave that 20%, that means you really gave 100% and you’re doing amazing, actually.

And that was my day today, ergo I deserve ice cream and a nap.

Mayday

I'm nearing 40 and still improving. Hell, this year I've made more progress than ever.
Blows my mind, really.

Vixx

Yes hi5 for still leveling up at this age! That’s amazing!!!

Like many of our peers, I did a glow-up when I turned 40 last year, and this seems to be our generation’s preferred mid-life crisis, which I’m totally digging. Just skilling up or glowing up or shacking up or knocking up or lifting up or moving up and it’s actually awesome how it feels to be both having gotten somewhere and still having places to go.

A couple of days ago it was 1C out, so very slushy and mucky, and before entering the Shopper's Drug Mart, I knocked the snow and slush off my shoes. A random man saw me, stopped me as I was about to walk in, and he praised and thanked me for being so considerate.

He didn't work there, he just saw that I was a true angel and he wanted to sing my praises.

I'm very humble and considerate and everyone knows it.

Never underestimate the uplifting nature of a pair of really good boobs! Pun intended.

I make a smashing Christmas pot pie

Considering that it needs to be vegan and allium-free for various preferences and allergies, getting responses like "still thinking about that pie" and "are you going to make the pie this year?" is high praise

I also made really good roast potatoes one year but I'm not sure what I did right so I'm avoiding those for the time being

Through my meetup and organizing a running club I made a small impact in helping find community and other people.

I voice-chatted for a couple of hours last night with my friend in Utah who's dealing with a cancer scare right now and can't even get a biopsy (and thus confirmation or otherwise) until Jan 31 so it's completely ruining his holiday season. Anything I can do to lift his spirits at the moment. It seems to work, I can always hear his voice change as his mood lifts.

No.

Duke 2.0

Woke up four hours earlier than usual from a dream of my old job. My body sees fit to rouse me just to faceplant into a bad case of executive dysfunction that’s been going on over the last week but honestly over the last year. Lying in bed and browsing I see this thread and hope I can start clawing my way outta this, but it’s been an hour of trying to think of anything nice. Best I’ve got is years ago on another forum lending an ear to somebody going through hard times. Even though that person is no longer alive I’m glad to have helped them out back then. My one good.

In the past year I've

-gotten married
-won an award for my podcast
-published a 155-page RPG
-gone back to school and maintained a ~3.9 GPA, will graduate by summer
-written over 200,000 words of erotic fiction

I've been to every event my children are involved in regardless of how small or if it is a work day.

IronKnuckle

Started this early last year but I'm in the best shape I've ever been. I don't fully hate what I see in the mirror each morning, and that's huge for me. I'm in my early 40's and I guess my midlife crisis is just "get yoked I guess"?

I also lost my father this year so it's certainly been a year.

astrobstrd

I've fallen in love this year, gotten better at giving and receiving help when needed, been told by my child that he will come to me for advice when he has kids, only had 75% of the nervous breakdown I had around this time in 2016 due to *waves hands*, and ended one podcast that ran for 4 years and started prep to launch another.

I can recognize that my lifelong ADHD does not make me a piece of shit (but ALSO, is something I have to both actively manage and see the upsides of) and I'm excited by life more than I have been in my 44 years on Earth.

I would like to know more about this pie.

My recipe book is at home, but it's roughly:

One white cabbage, chopped thinly
A pack of This Isn't Bacon (or your preferred brand of low-FODMAP facon), chopped thinly
Canned jackfruit, rinsed
Vegan single cream
Sage
Stock powder
Wholegrain mustard
Pre-made puff pastry

Fry the cabbage and bacon separately to soften, but use the same pan to keep the flavour of the bacon in the mix

Cook off the jackfruit a bit to dry it out (you can also do this on a baking sheet in the oven if you're not cooking other stuff in there, with an oil and sage rub)

Add all the jackfruit, bacon and cabbage into the pan, then add sage, cream, stock powder and mustard, and mix it all up to get to know each other

Add the mixture to a pie or casserole dish, and cover with the puff pastry, smooshing it onto the side of the dish with a fork, cutting some diagonal vents, and decorating with pastry cut-outs of Thomas Kempner you got in a Club PA haul

Glaze with any cream you've got left

Cook in the oven until the pastry is brown and crispy

It's a very creamy and smoky pie, so it goes well with winter spiced red cabbage and balsamic roast sprouts for a bit of sharpness, and mash (also because you can make the cabbage and mash ahead of time and reheat, saving oven space)

Does the premade puff pastry not have dairy in it?

Jus-Rol doesn't - it's a UK brand, don't know if it's available internationally
