Really? No ricotta and no mascarpone in any of the 3 supermarkets nearby? I have to go to a specialist cheese shop or trek to the Italian stall at the markthalle for them? :/

C'mon Berlin. Up your cheese game.
 
You can make ricotta and cream cheese can work for mascarpone if necessary.

I know what the substitutes are, as we didn't always have Italian cheese where I used to live (although I'd sub in cream cheese for ricotta, and whip heavy cream into cream cheese for mascarpone). I was just expressing surprise at the lack of stuff in supermarkets.

What in the hell is on that plate on the ice maker? Looks like sushi but with a bread coating.
 
There is a price to be paid in any relationship, whether it is time, kindness, attention, or money.

They are all transactions but the best never seem that way, never hint at the cost or the payment or any inequality.

We are all of us constantly searching for that ideal mutually beneficial, symbiotic exchange

Sometimes we are lucky enough to find it.

Truth.
 
I see those Facebook posts all the time...about depression. Reach out, they say. Take a moment to tell someone you care, they say. Well, newsflash. Sometimes they don't want to be reached. Or don't know how to respond to your kindness. So they shut down. You can try your best and sometimes it's still not good enough.

True, very true. But does that mean we shouldn’t try? How are we to know who may be uplifted or may need to know that people simply care.

This is when I usually whip out my boobs.
 
And sometimes you reach out and get the obligatory..."I'm sorry you are struggling right now." Crickets.....
 
All true. You still try, because you're left with a whole bunch of 'what ifs' otherwise.

No doubt. I am not sure how many of us really even know what to say and to your original point, sometimes no matter what we say as on point as it could be, the person simply isn’t ready to receive the message.

To Indie’s post, boobs have helped me many times. Gosh, I’m feeling a bit down with this cracked tooth in fact. :D

Fara is not indie. We’re just very close.
 
Grateful that my buddy is a dentist and is letting me sneak in to see him this morning. Scooting out for a bit to make the trek to his office.
