I feel like attacking people for their lifestyles (i.e. "you're so vanilla") are more of a reflection on the person who said it. Why do you care? I'm sorry I don't have to overcompensate in fear of being labeled "boring" because I'm confident that I'm not.

Even just having salt on hand was a luxury in the old days. Let alone the 4 different kinds of salt I personally have (regular table salt, kosher, sea and pink).

and for fuck sake, vanilla is delicious! What I wouldn't do for a nice vanilla ice cream right now

What people don't realize is...the "vanilla" ice cream used as a backdrop for cookie dough, peanut butter cups, caramel swirls...is a lower quality vanilla than plain vanilla ice cream. and there are multiple tiers of plain vanilla ice cream. "Homestyle" vanilla is trash. French vanilla or vanilla bean? UNF. Add a drizzle of real maple syrup and float into heaven.

Have you ever tried adding balsamic glaze? If not, I highly recommend it. It sounds like an odd combination but it’s a fantastic experience one should try at least once.

I'd love some to if I could find a vegan alternative for health reasons.

same. the Whole Foods non-dairy is deeecent, but there's definitely room for more players in the vegan ice cream market

I enjoy making my own from scratch! Ice cream makers can be pretty inexpensive/free (if you get one through a Buy Nothing community for example). You can experiment with your own combinations of non dairy milks/yogurts and add in your own toppings or flavors.

I love my ice cream maker.

Try the so delicious brand!! They have the best vegan ice cream and they even have ice cream sandwiches
[–]OptionalCookieFDS Newbie 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
They are at whole foods?
[–]sadgirljiThrowaway Account 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I think so! But I know for sure they’re at target and Kroger/Harris Teeter if one of those are accessible to you. There’s normally a coupon on their website as well if you want to save a few coins!

Downside of living in NY.
I've never been/seen a Kroger. I'll check target or my local place though

Thanks for this. Peace came when I accepted that I will never be the cool chic, I rather stand for what I like and if they see me as boring. The doors open, have a lovely day.

You're not a "cool chick" to the male gaze but I hope you know you're still actually cool as fuck. In a real, lasting way. The stuff you do, you do because you like it. You aren't performative. You aren't insecure about what people think and say. Paris Hilton voice that's hot

How this post talks about vanilla is how I feel about saffron. Whenever I eat it I feel like I’m putting a crown on my head.
[–]vforvendetta87FDS Newbie 3 points4 points5 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Ok, so I have saffron on my list of items to buy but I can’t remember why I put saffron. Does it help with depression?
[–]luvmyvulvaxoxoFDS Apprentice 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Im not sure. But it’s an extremely expensive spice
[–]SpicyScroteRoasteryFDS Newbie 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It's super tasty in baked sweets!

Imagine trying to insult someone for desiring healthy, loving, pleasurable, and respectful sex. Embarrassing really 🤡
[–]Anonymous_one444 8 points9 points10 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Whenever someone says that you are "Vanilla", say thank you and move on. They unknowingly told you just how special you really are. Vanilla used to be very rare and expensive. It was also very finicky and hard to grow. Only special growing conditions, paired with care, love and dedication to the plant would make it thrive. You are not like the rest of the world. You are different from them and they know it. That's why they call you "bland, boring, vanilla". They're scared because you can't be convinced, controlled or manipulated by the lower standards of the world. I love being vanilla (and it's my fragrance of choice for self care and relaxation). Enjoy being vanilla!

I was considering getting a vanilla orchid the other day and decided against it because it was too hard to take care of, I'd only kill it.
Also, imitation vanilla is made with a substance extracted from beaver anuses. So, ironically vanilla flavor is kinky AF

Vanilla IS the finest of the flavors!!

More vanilla for me then! Don’t need toppings or nothing it’s delicious on its own 😋
[–]wallet_rinser 3 points4 points5 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Great post! I’ve been playing the “cool chick” for my husband for a while and after being on FDS I changed my mind. We were dipping our toes into the poly world and sex was getting a bit.. rough. It’s both of our fault prob bc porn industry etc. Anyway, I’ve been on FDS for a little while and it’s really helping us turn things around! Whenever I read something helpful on here then I send it to him and we try to implement it into our relationship. We are both leveling up together :)

Watch that undertow in the Poly setting. It ended my 17 year relationship and I’m going through the divorce from hell.
