    My ex’s Mom is a vegetarian (who also doesn’t believe in using GMOs or a microwave) and her Dad has celiac and legitimately can’t do gluten.

    I hate trying to cook for them, and I REALLY hate it when they cook for me. Her Dad made these “dessert” balls that are made from flax seed and sadness the first time we met and I pretended to like them to be polite. Now he always makes me a bunch of them and I have to choke them down with a smile. I’ll bee seeing them Friday and know I get to look forward to chomping on birdseed.

      Then you have people from the opposite end of the spectrum. One time I received “protein cookies” from a friend and it was just baked chocolate whey protein powder 🤣. You’d expect something like that to work okay-ish, but it was a very, very sad cookie with way too much sweetener.

      i use a lot of flaxseed and have experienced the “ah shit too much flax” very often

      flaxseed-based dessert should be an internationally recognized war crime

        Because he’s a very sweet man and really enjoys sharing them with me. I’m not gonna take that away from him.
