Really enjoying your chats. I love the 40 days of treats. I may have to copy that in my future and compression socks are a thing :) They help when flying AZ
My favourite self care action is watching every Friday your AMA substack video 😜 and also spend an afternoon each week by the beach since Summer in Cyprus is quite long and we all love swimming.
When we have extra tomatoes (i.e. every year I grow them), we'll roast a bunch of them and freeze them for future use in roasted tomato soup. We also freeze dry a batch and pulverize them into tomato powder which we then use to add a burst of acidic flavoring to certain dishes (we particularly enjoy it sprinkled on baked fish).
respect it deserves? Long before McDonald’s, Burger King,
Wendy’s and even pizza by the slice, White Castle was there. At least in NY.C.
Fabulous in the 40s and 50s for something we later learned to call “fast food”. Probably the first really fast food restaurant. More of a burger parlor in those days.
Delicious! Don’t remember it being too greasy-just the right hint of onion.
I never found the newer ones to be as good, but then I’m not in the right locale now and haven’t seen one for years.
Long before Harold & Kumar went to White Castle, my buddies & I ventured there for mostly the same underlying reason, just 4 decades earlier… There were 2 styles of “Burger” consumption… get a 12-sack, 8 regular & 4 with cheese; then make 4-Triple stacker – 2 plain patties, 1 cheese patty, and toss extra buns; OR, a 4-stacker makes 3 burger stackers… 2 regular, 2 w/ Cheese, then using an extra bottom portion, becomes the “middle bun”…
As for “Self Care”, I pursue several, some daily, others weekly the rest as decided at the time… Daily I take a 30+ mile roundtrip cruise along Lake Michigan, windows down, tunes blasting away and a roll of chalky NECCO Wafers… AAAHhhh simply pleasures, we’re all entitled… Yes???
The 3-dayz a week “Self Care” ritual is a 10 minutes Stream Room warm-up, then indulge in a 2 stage Sauna… AND here's where fresh Eucalyptus comes into play; wet leaves & branches soaked and draped over the hot rocks… unbelievable sinus openers, a semi-wasabi moment…. Totally revitalizing & refreshing.!!!
AAAHhhh the flower element… I’ll pick-out a nice size bouquet of flowers, yet as much as I crave the scent of fresh flowers which is truly wonderful, coupled with the vibrant colors, they’re not so much for myself, it’s for my friends and visitors… for flowers and plants add another dimension to a room, which changes with the seasons… Mother Nature, she's one Grand Dame.!!!
Today I learned… that Go Fork Yourself lives on, on YouTube. I was a subscriber to the [audio] PodCast, and thought it just went away. Is it still available in audio form? I mean… you're beautiful people, but after watching this, I don't feel like I'd be missing a whole lot, if I could go back to just listening to it in my car.
As for White Castle… I'm not a fan of their burgers, but they have plenty of other guilty pleasures on the menu. The Chicken Rings and Fish Nibblers come to mind…
Ok first of all, aren’t compression Sox self care? I had some nerve damage in my foot, had to get shots between my toes needle went top down into foot, OMG…PTSD just typing this! 😬asked Dr how to prevent? Compression Sox. SOLD! Then he showed me his 😂 said he wore daily, he was about 30. BTW Bombas has some cool ones.
White Castle; I busted my dad once, walked in on him when he thought he was alone sneaking WC. “Don’t tell your mother!” I told him he didn’t have to sneak…any of us kids would gladly do WC runs with him! Became one of my fav “errands” to do with him. I think for me & WC it’s the onions…🧡
Sadly I can’t have flowers in my house because there is a furry A-hole that lives there that likes to eat them & throw them up! So my yard is packed with them this time of year & I treat myself and buy bouquets for work.
Molly love your 40 days of Molly! Stealing that…this year. And also AZ ‘s mint idea, did that once with basil. Smell was amazing…mint grows better.

Does White Castle get the honor and .

Love the carpet story, but more than that, love that you buy yourself flowers.

Loved this. Busted out laughing at the Napoleon story.
