I have several serious food intolerances, as well as food allergies, so I have to be very careful when I am eating food I have not prepared or if I do not know what is in it. My MIL is very aware of my food allergies/intolerances (lactose intolerant, egg allergy, shellfish allergy, strawberry allergy), and has been for the 22 years that we have been married. My MIL is one of those people who b
I’m allergic to cats and don’t want to deal with the hassle of a dog. My wife and kids have been begging for a pet for years, but I really don’t want to take allergy medicine just to be able to live in my own home (I don’t take any medicine) and I feel like a dog would be very restrictive to our already extremely busy lifestyle (and unfair to a puppy). I shut it down every time they bring it u
My wife runs a website dedicated for cooking and recipes. She takes pictures of food before we eat whether it's lunch or dinner and posts them on her Insta account. To be honest, I'm annoyed by having to wait so long for her to "get the perfect shot" of the food after decorating it, adding this fork and removing that salad dish. It just takes so long and I lose my appetite from just waiting ti
My fiance and I are getting married in June next year. We're both vegans, and although we don't judge those who are not vegan, we wanted to serve vegan food at our wedding. We found a vegan caterer. When we sent out invitations, we added a note saying that the food will be vegan. We also asked that everyone who has any specific dietary requirements let us know. The note made it clear that anyon
Dad here, old fart, loves his daughter to pieces but I’m struggling to see eye to eye with my teenager and wife on this one. We’ve always been a meat eating family, we live in the rural Midwest and bacon for breakfast is pretty much a given. This year my 14 y/o daughter decided to go vegan, and I jumped onto her support team with enthusiasm. We learned how to substitute ingredients, cook ne
We came back from our trip last night. It was late and my little brother Neil(5M) and I(17F) were hungry. My parents bought two sandwiches for us. My parents are against fast food, and the number of times I have eaten fast food in my entire life is less than 10, and I really love fast food. We got home and Neil was running around as usual while my parents tried to get him to sit down and eat,
My boyfriend and I have been together for about 2 1/2 years. We live together as of recently (4 monthsish) and we get along pretty well. We have a lot of separate hobbies, and one of mine is hiking. I wouldn't call myself a "peak bagger" but I do like to add mountain summits to my hikes when I can. BF doesn't enjoy hiking more than occasionally so he rarely comes along. For reference, I am
Yesterday my friend /acquaintance and I went to a restaurant after work. She is a vegan and ordered a vegan dish. I ordered something that contained beef. When my dish came, my friend was shocked to see that it contained meat because she assumed that it didn’t (for some reason). She said she no longer felt comfortable eating at the same table as me unless I sent the food back. I said no way
My sister has been vegan for many years and she is also raising her son vegan. He has been vegan since birth. My nephew and son attend the same school so I pick them up from school everyday. My nephew has snacks + dinner at my house every weekday before his mom comes to pick him up. I usually make a dish for my family and a separate vegan dish for my nephew. A couple of months ago I left th
I have a severe dog allergy. I can have varying disease of severity when it comes to my reactions when I'm exposed to dogs. In short, being in a closed environment with a dog is out of the question. Earlier today, I was boarding my flight with my friends, since we're all going on vacation together. As I'm boarding, I find that one of the passengers is boarding with a Golden Retriever, with a gu
I have an Instagram account dedicated to photos and short videos of food from local restaurants in my city. I don't turn meals into a whole photoshoot production when I go out, but I like to snap a few photos of everything as it comes out. I've got about 1000 followers, it's just a hobby for me but I have made friends with some other bloggers and we like to go out and get pics together and try
I really really hate sharing food when I order out at restaurants or takeout. I always order just enough for myself so when someone grazes off my plate it makes me unreasonably upset. So my wife is a TERRIBLE food snatcher. She always says she’s not that hungry and orders a small side or nothing at all, then slowly devours the food I’ve ordered. So many times I’ve ordered steak and fries just
