for a change, tell me the WORST food from your culture. region or niche specific if you can

Mauby (the drink). All my family loves it but it's gross. Like flavored pond water

Fried okra over grits is amazing. Especially with extra butter and hot sauce

You really do get over it on a random day.

I am so profoundly tired of young people acting like my youth was perfect. Especially yanks who know damn well that that was when Bush Jr was running their country. You’re not a boomer and since you weren’t raised by them, you don’t even know how they act.

Being a crafty person and making a bunch of things often prompts people to ask "oh wow did you make that?" And like, the short answer is: yes I did, but the long answer is: well, no, the pattern isn't mine, but I did choose and buy the fabric/yarn and sewed it together/crocheted it/knitted it myself. I used a reference for that drawing/painting, I didn't come up with it myself. That ceramic piece was insired by a poem and a painting made by different people. What I'm trying to say is, everything I make requires other people to make their own thing first, and then I get inspired by them to do my own thing. So I can't really call anything truly mine, because really it's just a bunch of inspirations and experiences of others (and me) put together by my hands. Does that answer your question
