I need to get this out of my system: I love my husband, but I don't like him right now. We're together well over a decade. He says he cares for me, and he's a provider, and yes he finally cleans and plays with the kids. It took years of talks, arguments, and explosions from my side to raise him to that point. I'm so frustrated. Exhausted. My latest point of WHY THE FUCK was Mother's Day (to nobody's surprise here, I'm sure). A year ago, I decided I will quiet quit my marriage. I stopped doing the things. I dropped the rope. No presents for people from his side, no extra mile. I match his energy, and let's say: I started a Korean skin care routine to occupy my time, got enough of that now! He started complaining a while ago about me not doing enough. I laughed in his face. This is payback for a decade of me stretching myself thin so he could be comfortable. I am definitely an asshole to him right now, and I do it willingly to get even. Only when I feel like the scales are more equal, I will put in more again. Anyhow, we talked about Christmas. Christmas is a huge thing for me. We have a birthday in the family on the 24th of December, and we host. So I am the one who usually plans a birthday party plus Christmas with stayover guests. People love to visit us. Food, fun movies, some games. Last time our newly widowed neighbour and her daughter came over for example, I didn't want them to be alone, and we watched Knives Out, and it was good. But Christmas + Birthday with 12-16 people needs to be planned. Kids can be picky eaters, adults can be especially picky eaters, everyone got an allergy nowadays, it's a whole thing. I start planning Christmas in July. I set a theme. I cook the first meal ideas once a month for a special Sunday dinner. Get the sauce *perfect*, while we don't eat it so much everyone is over it by December. I test out new convenience products. Get the first gifts on sale, and put them in a safe spot. By November, I'm usually done gift shopping, cooking is sorted, and I make plans for activities. I also do gift packages for the grandparents in due time, and paint my own Christmas cards. Bear with me here, I really like organising. I know it's a bit much, but really, I spend like 3h/month in preparation, including cooking. My husband told me he thinks I overdo it. Sure. I do. When would he start planning? Oh, start of December or something? My eyebrow shot up. He corrected to mid November. I knew he would fuck it up. Everyone would expect one of my events. I'm a project manager. Planning ahead is my job. I do risk analysis without noticing. It's fun for me, and he can't even commit to dinner plans. What did I do? Give him the reigns. Valentine's Day we had no dinner reservation, because he thought the week of would be early enough. Hahahahaha. No. I exploded. He felt a bit bad, but not much. Mother's Day. The teenager went to visit my ex husband on Friday. My wish was for husband and teenager to have the house cleaned by Sunday. It was clear that wouldn't happen, teenager forgot Mother's Day entirely, ex husband also forgot it, and husband suddenly had to parent the toddler, and clean the whole house. I took the toddler grocery shopping. Teenager bought me a handbag I already own. At least she managed to hit my taste, and I'm not angry at her, she's autistic. Two men failed her. Two fathers. She came back by Saturday to clean the floors at least. Anyhow, we went to a café (reservation the week after Valentine's Day, he did learn by pain), were 30 minutes early. We rushed out of the door for nothing. Amazing! I was not impressed. Later they wanted to play a game with me, when I wanted to go to the cinema. Husband didn't take note that I told him I'd like to see the new Devil wears Prada movie. I don't get why he thinks I would like to play a boardgame when I said I can't concentrate enough for them for a month now, since I have a new job basically. Should I have forced myself? Maybe. Maybe not. I would have in the past, and I don't have fucks left to appease my family right now. I'm sorry for being such an ass, and very much not sorry for finally putting my own interests first. My husband is still very much... Not there. He's apologetic, but he doesn't realise he tried to mansplain my own work to me, and then failed spectacularly when given the chance to manage a celebration on his own. We do an ESC party this Saturday. I will organise it of course. Charcuterie Boards are my test run food for the party. They are amazing! Soft cheese (Saint Albray, Brie), hard cheese (Gruyère, sharp Cheddar), poultry salami sticks, feta creame with pepper bells, stuffed baby pepper bells, olives, three types of crackers, nuts, grapes, cherry tomatoes, and some condiments I found in my fridge. Glorious! submitted by /u/Gold-Carpenter7616 to r/GirlDinnerDiaries [link] [comments]

I’m finally proud of something I made! Took a class and got the idea to make a charcuterie board because my sister wanted one. So happy they didn’t break! but the one she likes (the green one) has a small spot where the glaze lifted, right where you would put a dip or olive oil. So is this still food safe? The instructor wasn’t around when I picked them up and the class is over now. Thanks in advance for any knowledge! (I included the blue/white one just cuz I love it and wanted to show it off:)) submitted by /u/tryingtohydrate to r/Ceramics [link] [comments]

I'm making a charcuterie board for a friend's hen night, I haven't made one before so here's my first practice run! It will actually say 'bride to be' but I got lazy because I hand carved the letters using a knife 😂 Next time I'll use an exacto blade I think! A few notes: It's vegetarian Making it the day before and then travelling with it so nothing that would make the crackers soggy etc Shared between 4 people so doesn't need to be massive Will probably be bigger than this, as this is just the board that I happen to have at home! I'm especially looking for feedback on the layout/ingredients/arrangement. I think the cheese rose looks weird with the edible flowers maybe, so might swap it for a cream cheese or jar of jam or something. Looking forward to any ideas! submitted by /u/coyasauce to r/CharcuterieBoard [link] [comments]

My 5 year old helped me put together a “fancy snack board” for him and his 2 year old sister tonight and I fear I’ve raised the bar too high. It’s literally just goldfish, grapes, strawberries, mandarins, cheese sticks, cheddar, a very serious attempt at a provolone rose (his idea of “fancy”), pepperoni, and turkey sticks—but apparently arranging it like this makes it Michelin star. They’re usually good eaters, but they were extra into it… like pointing at things, discussing options, fully in their charcuterie era. Not sure if this is a genius parenting hack or if I’ve just committed to making tiny boards for the rest of my life 😅 Update: I cut the fruit and cheese, peeled the mandarin oranges and showed him how to fold the pepperoni. Then my little man took it from there. He arranged the food plate, folded the rest of the pepperoni and did the provolone flower (this took him a few tries, but he kept trying until he got it) and peeled the string cheese into flowers. submitted by /u/MokaMama to r/CharcuterieBoard [link] [comments]

Hello all, I was gifted this charcuterie board a few years ago but the other name on the board and I divorced and I am wondering what can be done to remove the name and reseal it potentially without knowing what was used before. I can also understand if I may have to remove both names for looking better too. I'd prefer to not just take off the top layer because I don't have that available tool(I believe it's a planer). I also leaned towards just dremeling out the name and then having a little notch there but then would also have to reseal it again. The text is very shallow burned in. Thanks in advance for any tips or ideas. submitted by /u/LovingCatDad08 to r/woodworking [link] [comments]

I picked up some 6/4” white oak from a waste bin and made this as a “how big can my clamps and router jigs go” kind of thing. Will be a nice charcuterie board / sandwich platter, or at least a solid breadboard. Got the 45-degree chamfer idea from another maker on this sub. submitted by /u/Frozen-Chips-401802 to r/Cuttingboards [link] [comments]

I am NOT OOP. Originally posted to r/Ask A Manager Previous BoRUs: #1 [New Update]: my vegan coworker is upset about getting non-vegan gifts three years in a row NEW UPDATE MARKED WITH ---- Trigger Warnings: hostile workplace, bullying Editor's Note: This is a repost of AAM. Often, the letter writer does not respond to comments in AAM posts, but for the update post here, they have read and responded. I am adding the relevant comments for more context RECAP Original Post: January 7, 2025 I work in a small office of six people, and since we’ve all been here for 3+ years at least, we’re pretty close. We hold a gift exchange where basically everyone buys a gift for everyone else. I understand that’s probably a bit much, but it works for us. In 2022, my coworker “Marie” got everyone a jar of local honey, which I honestly was thrilled with. Unfortunately she didn’t realize our coworker “Liz” couldn’t have it, since she is vegan (we all know Liz is vegan, but Marie didn’t realize vegans don’t eat honey). It was a shame, but not a big deal. Liz was gracious about it. The next year, Marie got Liz a personalized collar for her dog. Unfortunately, the collar was leather. Again, Marie didn’t know about this element of being vegan. She apologized profusely and offered to buy Liz another gift, but Liz said it was fine. This past Christmas, Marie got Liz a gift set of fancy popcorn. She actually asked another coworker what a vegan snack was as she was getting everyone a gift with a “snack” theme. However, she got a different coworker one of those gift sets with summer sausage, cheeses, mustard, etc. (This coworker is a man with very Ron Swanson type tastes, food-wise, so he would appreciate this.) The problem is these gift boxes looked very similar once wrapped and Marie accidentally switched the labels, so “Ron” got the fancy popcorn and Liz got the sausage and cheese. Yikes. Liz looked genuinely shocked when she opened it, and Marie gasped and began to explain, asking Ron to open his gift to show the popcorn intended for Liz. Liz was very quiet throughout, and the coworker who had recommended the popcorn said she had indeed suggested this to Marie. The popcorn set contained two jars of cheese seasoning, but I really think Marie tried this year. Liz finally traded gifts with Ron and things awkwardly moved on. The problem now is Liz is being very cold to Marie, and Marie confided that our manager had a talk with her, saying Liz feels that Marie has a pattern of bullying her through these gifts. Marie was so upset because she really didn’t intend any of this, it was just ignorance the first two times and then this last one was a complete mistake. She knows how it looks but she doesn’t know how to fix it. In such a small office, one person openly thinking another is a bad person is very awkward for everyone. I don’t know if there’s anything Marie can do to mend fences with Liz, but if there is I would love to suggest it. I feel she’s apologized and been backed up by the coworker who suggested popcorn and Liz is being a bit unreasonable to hold a grudge. But I’d love to hear if you think there’s anything Marie can do to fix it.   Editor's note: For Alison's response to the original post here   Update #1: June 11, 2025 (a little over five months later) Sorry I missed the post the day it went up; I was busy that day and then frankly overwhelmed by the number of comments! But thank you for your reply. You were perfectly right, I wasn’t a party to any of it myself so I couldn’t really get involved without causing drama or taking sides, so I didn’t, except to hum supportive noises whenever Marie was fretting about the situation to everyone in the office. She really was very upset that Liz would think she was intentionally getting her non-vegan gifts. In sort of half-heartedly listening to her fret one day, I realized, and another coworker did at the same time, so she was the one to point it out, but Marie was clearly hearing “vegetarian” when anyone said “vegan.” She thought as long as no meat products to be consumed were involved, she was fine. My coworker actually looked up the definition of vegan and read it to Marie and she was like =O You asked about Marie and Liz’s relationship outside of the gift debacles, and to be honest it’s complicated by the fact that Marie’s husband is a local councilman who is kind of controversial. There was some gossip a while back that Liz was in his public Facebook comments calling him out for some of his positions. Marie never talks about his job or his views; quite the opposite, she has said she has no interest in any kind of politics and she has banned her husband from political talk at home. Regardless I could see Liz maybe thinking she actually is aligned with him privately and being wary of her. After her enlightenment, Marie bought Liz a Body Shop gift card and apologized once again for her mixups. Marie sees herself as a bit of an office “mom” so she always goes a bit over-the-top in terms of the gifts, both in price and in trying to personalize them. She very much didn’t want to get a gift card because it was “generic” but in the end she thought it was safest. Liz still isn’t the warmest toward her, but they appear to be back on solid footing. We’ll try to vet Marie’s next Christmas gift ahead of time. Editor’s note: below are OOP’s comments that will help provide more context Relevant Comments A commenter asking if it was intentional or not: I think you have blinders on where it comes to Marie. If I were vegan and received non-vegan gifts three years in a row, I would believe it was intentional. Marie didn’t bother to ask Liz what being vegan entailed after the first snafu. She then gave Liz a leather dog collar. It’s common knowledge that leather is made from cow skin. After the first two gifts being non-vegan, I find it difficult to believe that the charcuterie wasn’t intentional. *OOP: * The charcuterie mixup was truly a mixup. I saw some speculation about this on the first post so just to clear it up, the popcorn gift set contain unpopped popcorn kernels, of course, as well as three jars of seasoning which were in glass containers. It also contain a decorative bowl that was made of glass. It was heavy. And it was the same shape as the charcuterie board they were similar weights as well. Commenter 1: Ha my mother in law made a soup for my vegan husband and me, and she said, and I quote, “It’s vegan except for the sausage! :-)” Like there were vegetables in it, so that was the vegan part, and the sausage was just an incidental addition. OOP: OMG. This reminds me, after her first grandkid was born Marie made her vegetarian daughter in law chicken soup without chicken chunks in it but she still used chicken broth Commenter 2: The more you attempt to defend Marie, the worse she actually sounds. Including chicken broth in a more complicated dish can be an incidental oopsie, going ‘hmmm, I’m going to make chicken soup for someone vegetarian’ simply comes off as passive aggressiveness. OOP: I’m not defending her. I can’t help but laugh at the ridiculousness but I’m not defending it. She should learn what these terms mean. She thinks her daughter-in-law walks on water though, so I really don’t think it was meant to be passive aggressive. Commenter 3: Yes. The impression I’m getting is that if Marie isn’t malicious, she’s incredibly thoughtless and dense, and the whole office just knows and expects everyone to go with it. That’s not great either, frankly. OOP: My coworker calls Marie our missing stair (not to her face of course, although she would have no idea what it meant). OOP explains Marie more in the comments OOP: Marie isn’t DUMB but she is just very absent minded and, I say this with affection, a bit of a dingdong. She doesn’t google things, full stop. She thinks the rest of us are magicians when we can find info on google. Then she said “I really need to start doing that.” Then she’ll look up a number the next day in a ten-year-old phone book. (She called the city once to ask why she hasn’t received a new phonebook in years.)   ----NEW UPDATE---- Update #2: December 30, 2025 (over six months later) I saw some comments on the update I sent in before (about my coworker who cluelessly gave a vegan coworker three non-vegan gifts) wanted to know what Marie would get Liz for Christmas this year, haha. Liz ended up leaving the company in October for another job, so alas, no Christmas gift story, but we did have a farewell lunch for Liz and Marie gave her a book of plant-based recipes for dogs. Liz does have a dog, I have no idea about its diet, but still, this was an improvement, especially considering no one knew Marie was going to get a going-away gift for Liz and therefore couldn’t vet it. I was really holding my breath when she pulled it out. Fortunately, Marie actually bought this book at Barnes and Noble earlier in the year when it was on display, in anticipation of giving it to Liz for Christmas. It wasn’t weird for her to give Liz a going-away gift, since turnover in our office is pretty rare, but obviously it hadn’t gone well before, so I was still surprised (but also not, because that’s just Marie — she loves to give gifts).   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

I am going to a “board party” tomorrow (you bring a board of food for all to eat, usually around some type of theme- sushi board, taco board, French fries). I am struggling to think of what to bring and will be hitting Trader Joe’s tomorrow. I am wondering if someone has any ideas of items I can buy that can make up a theme. I am trying to avoid a classic charcuterie of meats and cheeses but know that will be a great fallback if I can’t think of anything else. Thanks! submitted by /u/Second_Effort417 to r/traderjoes [link] [comments]

Charcuterie board idea I made for the wife. Sandwiched together a piece of walnut and a piece of maple, to make the effect of dirt and “sky” if you will. Laser engraved a cool little sunflower I had ChatGPT draw up for me (Im absolutely no artist). Then filled it with different colored food safe resin to mimic the natural colors of a sunflower. Slapped a couple brass handles, cored out some alternating plugs, sanded to 400 grit, and finished with beeswax and mineral oils. Curious what everyone thinks! Hope yall like it! submitted by /u/Shabercom to r/woodworking [link] [comments]

Hey snack lovers! I don’t know if this is weird or totally normal, but lately after a long, stressful workday, I’ve been making myself a personal “snack charcuterie board.” I’ll grab a cutting board and pile it up with all my favorites: Sharp cheddar cubes Jalapeño kettle chips Fresh strawberries or apple slices Dark chocolate squares A few dill pickles (don’t judge) Sometimes, some spicy nuts or crackers for a crunch kick I pour myself a sparkling water, put on my comfort TV show, and it feels like a mini celebration just for surviving the day. I started doing this because I realized I was just mindlessly munching chips straight out of the bag, and this way it feels more special and intentional. Do any of you do something similar? What would you put on your snack board? I’m always looking for new combo ideas (sweet, salty, weird, all welcome)! Snack on, friends! submitted by /u/Sudden_Somewhere_423 to r/snacking [link] [comments]

i was recently invited to my friend’s housewarming party, and it’s themed “bring your own board” where everyone brings their own version of a charcuterie board. it’s kinda trendy on tiktok and people bring all kinds of things BUT i’m a super poor college student who is out of work for the summer and i need help thinking of a theme for my board that won’t be too pricey. i wanna go to the party and participate in the theme, so any ideas would be sooo appreciated 🫶 *EDIT: thank you all soo much for all of the advice and suggestions. there are tons of great ideas in the comments. for those of you invested in what i pick lol, the party isn’t until july 12, but i will be sure to update what i bring! 🫶 submitted by /u/christina301 to r/Cooking [link] [comments]

I live on a lake and one of my favorite past times is making charcuterie boards for holidays, events, or just the weekend (see pics for past boards). I got the idea to start making portable boards that people who live on the lake can order for weekends only and can either pick up or I can deliver straight to their dock from the boat. However, I know charcuterie boards can get pretty sweaty quickly when left out in the sun, and one of the major points of differentiation for this idea would be that it’s intended to be eaten on the boat (though it certainly doesn’t have to be)… Any ideas for ways to keep the boards fresh for longer without sinking a ton of money into each container? submitted by /u/altius33 to r/CharcuterieBoard [link] [comments]

I’ll keep this one short, every year we have charcuterie board before thanksgiving meal at 6. Just something everyone can pick at so they aren’t dying of hunger by dinner time. My son (16) loves cheese, and due to this I make sure to label when he can’t eat something. I labeled all the stuff for thanksgiving don’t eat. Well yesterday he went and ate all of the fancy meats and basically ate from each block that I bought. I truly was pissed since I worked extra hours to pay for it since the prices are awful now for a nice cheese. I told him he needs to go to the store to replace all of it which would cost him around 70 dollars ( one of the cheese he ate was 18 dollars) or he doesn’t get to eat thanksgiving meal. He is refusing to pay for it back so no thanksgiving meal ( he will eat a sandwich) and he thinks I am being a horrible jerk. My husband is on his side and doesn’t understand why I am so pissed about it Edit: thank you I made up my mind. I already informed my MIL of the situation she offered to bring a nice cheese board if he still refuses. I am giving him one last chance, he can buy it, not get thanksgiving tomorrow or work for 11 hours to make up the money ( I liked that idea form a Redditor). I have a feeling he won’t do either of the options given so probably no thanksgiving and my relatives will understand. submitted by /u/Weak_Sherbert426 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

I asked if I should bring anything, but she said no, it’s not a potluck, she’ll be making dinner for everyone. There were 7 of us total and the food was good. During the mea we were all laughing and called our friend (dinner host) a chef cause she made a big dinner for all of us and we al said how much we appreciated it because it’s hard to get everyone together at the same time. At the end of dinner we all help clean, was the dishes, then have some wine. It started getting late so people started to head out, and on our way out the dinner host said don’t forget to Venmo/cash app/ zelle her. Some of us were confused because we had no idea what we had to send her. So I ask her “what am I sending you money for” and she said for cooking dinner. Me: I don’t understand why we should pay? Her: because I spent my money and hosted the dinner and cooked. Me: None of us asked you to, you volunteered to do it and you never mentioned paying until now. Her: I didn’t do this for free Me: you should’ve told us before you hosted that you expected this. I don’t think it’s fair to just bring this up and expect people to pay. She called me an asshole and said again that she didn’t spend hours to cook, grocery shop for free. I have never heard of this. Like ever. We kept arguing and after a while I just Venmo’d her the $40 she asked for. I don’t think I’m the asshole at all and some of my friends agree with me. Some have said it’s normal to pay for dinner during a dinner party at someone’s house, so now I’m not sure. Edit: A lot of you have asked what she made, and it was some salad I’ve never heard of, the main course was smoked gouda mashed potatoes with beef short ribs. A desert I forgot the name of (I think she said she bought this from a bakery). She also made vegan mash potatoes and vegan “ribs” for one of our friends who is vegan. She also made (bought?) chicken skewers as the appetizer. Even though she said not to bring anything, I brought rum cake from my local bakery. And yes, everyone brought something small. We also had charcuterie and cheese board that two of the girls brought. Some girls brought wine and we even had one girl bring candles to set the mood. We are in the US and none of are European. I spoke with some of the others and although they had paid for a dinner party before, it was discussed first. No one has ever done what this friend did which was spring an unexpected cost on us. All of us are in our early 30s. The group chat is going crazy right now because everyone is pissed at her. —————————————————————— Some of us confronted our friend last night about this and things went all the way left. I’ll post an update later when I can collect my thoughts. OOP is voted NTA Update Post: March 14, 2023 Basically the next day we tried to explain our side of things to my friend. She was sticking with her side that the cost was fair. We tried to explain how rude it was for her to basically charge us for hanging out with her. We explained how she never does anything for any of us without expecting something from us. She said she would expect her friends to help her is she helps them. We said yes, but you won't do anything for anyone unless there is something in it for you. Some of you mentioned to ask for the receipt, I did, and she didn’t have it. I brought up the different things we brought and get this she said “I didn’t ask you to you to bring them”. I then brought up this post and basically said what she did was tacky and just rude as hell, big mistake. She was very upset about it saying it’s an invasion of privacy(understandable). She called us rude bitches (lol, us?) and bad friends. We just kept going back and forth saying the same thing and it wasn’t going anywhere. One of our friends asked if she would apologize and she said no, she didn’t do anything wrong. In the end all of us cut her off. We left her in the group chat for a little bit before we blocked her though, so she could see what we were saying about her. tldr; we cut her off and she’s blocked submitted by /u/LucyAriaRose to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

I have no idea if I'm in the wrong here. So, I was texting back and forth with a guy for about a week that I met at a football game. We had seats next to each other struck up conversation and exchanged numbers. Seemed pretty normal in texts and definitely looking for a relationship. I was honest I was up in the air for anything hahaha not that I didn't want a relationship but I'm not actively seeking one? So boom, he invites me out to dinner at a nice bar and I was going out with my friends later that night so I figured it would be a cool pre-game before I met up with my friends. Things are going pretty okay and we just grab some wings to share and charcuterie board along with a bottle of wine. When the waitress comes back she has all the appetizers, the wine, and a shot. My date tells her we didn't order the shot. And, she points over to a guy sitting at the bar and says he sent that over for me. My date then tells the waitress that we didn't need it and that he appreciated the offer though. I'm not one to waste free alcohol and I tell her that's fine she can leave it. I was sitting facing the bar and just as the waitress leaves I'm grabbing the shot and the guy who sent me the drink turns around and gives me an across the room cheers motion with his drink. I do the same and I'm about to take the shot and my date is like "are you really going to accept a drink from another guy while we are on a date?" I tell him it's just a drink and it's not a huge deal and I don't even know that guy. Then, I take the shot and try to keep talking. He's not eating and barely interacting then he just gets up and heads over to the bar. He goes up there closes out the bill and walks out the door. Totally leaving me there. I tried to text him the next day and he basically said I disregarded his feelings and that I was a bit of an asshole the way I brushed off what he was saying and taking that shot was like a slap in the face. I really don't think I'm in the wrong. I didn't flirt with the guy and he wasn't an ex. I don't even know the bar stranger. If my date didn't make a huge deal about it we could've enjoyed the rest of the night. So, am I the asshole? submitted by /u/tPainFan25 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]
