A close friend of mine has scammed me and hundreds of other people out of thousands of pounds and the news is finally hitting the b/s/t community. They’ve gone to ground and honestly? I just can’t believe I fell for it. I trusted them because they’re such a close friend, but they turned out to be a fucking liar and scammer. I feel like such an idiot, like such a fool for believing all their lies and excuses and giving them the benefit of the doubt for the past two years when all of this started happening. I just can’t believe it. It’s not even about the money, money comes back. It’s about trust. They knew I already didn’t trust people because of shit that happened to me and they used that and I’m so fucking stupid that I fell for it hook line and sinker. And I can’t tell anyone irl because it’s so shameful. I feel like such an idiot and I just don’t know how I’ll trust people again for a long time. Idk.
Feel free to message me if you want their insta handle, I just want to be done with this now.

frankieeee im making soup tonight for a dinner party but idk what soup to make What is your favorite soup recipe!
OOOH GOOD QUESTION. splitting this up so awkwardly bc i said so much… also full disclosure i was vegan for 5 years until a year ago so most of the soups i make nowadays are still at least vegetarian 😔 unless you don’t eat meat in which case 😄
you can never go wrong with a classic minestrone imo which is basically a broth of your choosing with whatever vegetables you have on hand (https://ricette.giallozafferano.it/Minestrone-di-verdure.html)
but i’m also a big fan of coconut milk-based soups such as https://ohmyveggies.com/thai-pumpkin-soup-recipe/
or a good chicken soup with a hefty amount of dill ❤️
i think you can never go wrong with anything that has a root vegetable base (potatoes, pumpkin, winter squashes, etc) and i love anything i can add loads of ginger to!!
some fav soups of mine are carrot and ginger (exactly what it sounds like, i roast carrots and fresh ginger with oil salt pepper and it would be mad delish with curry powder too & blend it up with broth and you could totally add cream or milk),
pastina with chicken broth and tons of grated cheese (i follow my heart when making it there’s no recipe but it’s comfort food),
oooh you could even do a broth started with sautéed zucchini in a pan (onions, some sort of cured meat if you’re a meat eater, that type of stuff) and pasta!!!
my mom did a lot of soups growing up perché siamo napoletane and that’s peasant food so OH MY GOD LENTIL SOUP. LENTIL SOUP. carrot celery onion lentils add some fresh greens once boiling maybe some chopped tomatoes…
my mom also made this awesome mushroom soup with quinoa kale spinach and cinnamon when i was sick last year and it healed me (spiritually).
escarole soup obvs http://www.christopherpless.com/recipe/zuppa-di-scarola/ also
zuppa di ceci chickpea soup was an absolute STANDARD in my house we usually didn’t blend it (whole chickpeas https://ricette.giallozafferano.it/Zuppa-di-ceci.html) but it can totally be blended too (https://www.italianfoodforever.com/2009/11/zuppa-di-ceci-creamy-chickpea-soup/)… i could go on

Ugh I very much disagree with the pod about the sa scene esp if they’re not going to discuss it more s2 is definitely is not a ‘girls front and center’ show anymore and accepting that allows analysis into the ways how the rest of the time on the boys island was affected by it that makes it not ‘just a plot device’
It’s like the urge to condemn the existence of the scene overpowers any potential discussion to be had from it and there is so much (albeit in later episodes so we’ll see how it factors in) that happens later on as a direct result that creating a black hole around it muddles the picture the exact way Gretchen’s team was unable to make sense of the boys behaviours from day 15 onwards
