urgh I’m catching up so I’m sure this is butting into a nicer conversation, but this just made me feel sick to my soul it was so accurate. I had to move countries because of my narc, as a rule they don’t like it when you get away and I 100% believe he would kill me if he ever got the chance. The inability to let go of grudges is terrifying.Wow a very deep question this morning. I don't have an answer but I do have some experience. I had a narc in my life. He did some truly evil things, criminal things in fact, some things that only came to light after police became involved, things I could never have believed him capable of. But now it all makes sense. When you are close to a narc it is harder to see. They isolate you from friends and family. They are all ego and will alternate from abuse to affection. They can make you feel special one minute and worthless the next. They have a massive ego. They are never wrong and if you dare call them out then woe betide you. You never hear the end of it. Grudges are held and nurtured for years. I could not hold on to the anger and bitterness for years but somehow narcs do. Mine kept a record of everything whether it was trivial or not. To the rest of the world they put on a charming front which makes it harder to get people to believe you. They play the victim and twist your words to make you seem like the bully. You question everything. Control is essential, they must have absolute control over you and how others perceive them. As a victim you walk on eggshells all the time and you alternate between fear and confusion but the anger and in my case violence could come out of nowhere too.
I'm not sure how much can be helped but they knowingly lie, sustain lies and do either illegal or clearly immoral things. But I wonder if the narc mind rationalises bad behaviour as a necessary means to an end which again stems from the belief that they are never wrong. It's hard to know what really goes on in their mind but what I do know is that narcs are dangerous and destructive. If you can extricate yourself from a narc relationship then do so as soon as possible. It's not easy though. In our case it took decades. If you don't know what normality looks like then the narc life is your normal and you accept and excuse a lot of behaviours, more so if the narc can claim some sort or victim status. It's easier to spot if you've been a victim or are looking in from the outside.
Why does she keep putting these painfully unfunny little asides in her recipes?
Because she has a GSOH!!Why does she keep putting these painfully unfunny little asides in her recipes?
Thats absolutely hellish.
I'm on a grunka so I'm not totally caught up with this thread, but I just saw the tweet about her never having made a quiche before and... I could have sworn I made a quiche from one of Jack's recipes in about 2014-15ish. I remember there being mustard in the pastry (but I'm not sure if that was her addition or mine tbh). Maybe it wasn't a quiche and it was some sort of tart or something? I'm going to see if I can find the recipe.
I want to share too, because the alcohol talk from JM can really make me see red. My good buddy, someone I’ve grown up with (we’re both still in our 20s, just barely), has been fighting for his life throughout this pandemic. He has cirrhosis and is on the brink of liver failure, but he’s managed to get sober through a detox centre and he’s doing okay-ish. I know some sober people who enjoy a non-alcoholic beverage occasionally, but mostly for ceremonial reasons (ex. having an AF beer at a baseball game). But maybe there is a market there, who knows?My dad was the same. His doctors decided he'd do less damage to himself by drinking a moderate amount instead of swinging between cold turkey and insane amounts. When he died a couple of years ago, he was already missing one leg and they were considering amputating the other one. Diabetes, liver failure, heart problems, none of it stopped him from going back to the booze. His body basically gave up.
I've got a Fancy 'Captain's Chair' for my desk, without all that padding and leather. Mind you, it doesn't birl round either.omg sorry for my false info on £1.3k! Hers is a legit Chesterfield, the base of the seat is identical. Well found frau.
Cue outrage that Miguel is allowed nice chairs and solids without interfering ninnies
I like how she coats everything she makes in black pepper, clearly to mask the flavour of everything else, particularly pears and mussels?!?
