I'm struggling with the diapered ass and bare feet on the counter and next to the food

It wasn't until reading this site about the Duggar Family that I learned a lot of people frown on kids sitting on counters. This was acceptable when I was a kid, all my kids did it, and now my smaller grandchildren sit on counters while helping prepare food. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Its not a thing I've ever done or seen much of in my neck of the woods. It wouldn't bug me that much if I thought Jill, Jessa and the other Duggars watched their kids carefully and wiped done their counters (before and) after the fact.

And I'm not a germophobe, but the Duggar level of of dirty skeeves me out.

Yeah I agree. Sitting on counters wasn’t done in my social circle, but I wouldn’t mind it if I thought the Duggars had “normal” standards of cleanliness. As in “wipe down all the counters after meal prep and at the end of the day”, everyone washes their hands when they come in the house & before handling food etc. 

 

But FEET on counters?? I used to get in trouble sitting on my feet on the sofa or the dining chair- that just wasn’t done, I had to sit with both feet on the floor, so I wouldn’t have dared put them on a surface like a table or a counter.

So when your kid has the sh!ts, you stick a diaper on them, plop them and their nasty feet on a kitchen counter & give them Tostitos.  Good to know. 

Just when I thought Jessa ruled with the disgusting and unsanitary habits of her children, here comes Jill to steal the crown.   I've never in my life seen such filth displayed with such pride.

Families have different standards.  I was taught, and taught my own children, that when helping, you sit at a kitchen counter on a stool, or sit at the kitchen table in a chair.  No surface used to prepare or eat food gets sat on or stood on.  Step stools are the only thing we stand on to reach high things. 

The first time my husband tried to sit on a kitchen counter, we had our one and only come-to-Jesus meeting about NEVER sitting on counters.  

Some people care, some people don't care.  YMMV.

so her husband lived in nepal and she gets the recipe for this from her ozark farming arkansas friend?

I didn't look at her recipe to see that a sweet friend had shared it. Ugh. 

I looked it up online, and it's a hearty noodle soup with chicken, meat or just vegetables. The spices are basically those in Indian cooking. I saw one recipe with an ingredient I didn't recognize, but most of these spices I have at home. It seems to be more of a cold weather comfort food, so maybe I'll wait a bit.

I'm not sure if you are talking to me or the Dillards, but no I never stuck a diaper on a kid with the runs and plopped them on the counter. My sick kids were tended to using the methods suggestion by their pediatrician. Plus, I had five of them and I have 10 grandchildren. So far we've all survived the nasty germs spread by a clothed 2 year-old's butt sitting on the counter. Just like I don't cook with dirty hands or clothes, neither to my grandchildren. I do have some standards.

The recipe:

Tibetan Thukpa

Jul 18, 2020 | Recipes | 0 

Several years ago, when I was working as a student midwife and had first told some of my friends about my new boyfriend, Derick, who was living and working in Nepal, a fellow student and friend of mine (Lindi) who had previously lived in Tibet made me this delicious soup to give me a taste of what some of Derick’s food in his Tibetan/Nepali neighborhood might be like and nicknamed it “Derick’s soup.” There are many versions of Thukpa and Thentuk depending on where you are, but this is the one we make and love. In Nepal, it might be made with water buffalo or chicken meat but could also be made with just vegetables. 

Makes about 4 quarts (serves 4-6 people)

1 pound chopped beef (stew meat)

2 T. olive oil for cooking meat

4 quarts water or broth

5-6 green onions (or 1 small white onion diced)

2 T. garlic, minced

3 large tomatoes, diced

3 cups flour (plus more for surface)

salt

pepper

1/2 bunch cilantro, finely chopped, including stems

With olive oil, brown meat on both sides in a skillet. Add broth (or water) to large pot with onions, tomatoes and garlic and bring to a boil. In mixing bowl, combine 3 cups flour with 1 cup water and stir then knead for 10-15 min. continuing to add flour until dough is formed and smooth. Roll out dough on floured surface (about 1/8″ thick) and cut with pizza cutter into strips (about 1″ wide). Tear off small pieces and put straight into boiling broth. Add cooked meat and cilantro. Boil a few minutes until noodles are cooked, then add salt and pepper to taste. 

Fun Fact: Sometimes we like to listen to the appropriate cultural music while eating international meals. I also listened to lots of Nepali and Tibetan music when Derick and I were datingwhile he was still in Nepal because it made me feel a little closer to him. 😉

Sam didn't have pants on. It was direct contact of the diaper with the counter. And bare feet. It was pretty gross.

I know nothing about Nepalese food, but...did this friend and/or Jill omit all seasoning except salt and pepper? The only difference between this and what Jill would normally eat, other than the cilantro, is that it didn't come from a can.

I've had Nepalese food before and the spicing was similar to Indian, just in different  quantities.  I was surprised by the lack of spicing in this recipe, so I looked it up and yes, the beef version is pretty similar to Jill's recipe.  I guess you would eat pickled veggies with it to get more flavor.  The chicken and veggie versions definitely had more spicing.

Most kids potty train somewhere between 2-4. Sam just turned 3. I wouldn't worry about him yet. 

I didn't rush my son. I think he was around 3 and a half. He rarely had an accident after that. I heard horror stories from a friend who rushed her daughter so I was glad I waited until I knew he was ready.

Thank you. That would certainly explain why this would be the Nepalese recipe that Jill and anyone she calls friend would gravitate towards.

READ THESE COMMENTS! Amy's "Freedom" and then Derick referencing "drinks" - probably not alcohol, but WOW if they are alcohol!

does anyone else here wonder what goes on in Jill's mind each and every time she decides to do something that flies in the face of Duggardom? Surely the first few things must have been terrifying for her. Would god send the plagues upon her for wearing pants? cutting her hair? leaving a tv show? she went to a restaurant that serves alcohol, oh my. did she have a drink, did she not, who cares. but I wonder how that feels for her after the 20+yrs of brainwashing.

 

I think that as long as she stays within the limits set by her headship she is alright.  For all the changes she has made, the same for Jinger, she can accept change because it's not her making any kind of independent choice; she is under the influence and guidance of her husband.  This concept was hammered into her head as much any other principal: the husband is in charge of the family and in charge of their morals.

The rosemary sprig is a little random but otherwise I think it looks nice.

 It’s possibly a bad angle, and could’ve been picked over a bit before the picture was taken. But do a little googling for Pinterest deli/wine spreads.  They should be turning out a dozen of these a day (Once business is back to normal)  so there’s plenty of time to get it right. Half a clove of garlic for an appetizer is way too much garlic.

Derelict apparently commented on Famy's "freedom" post. He thanked the Kings for the food, drinks, and friends, not in that order (his words). 

Define "drinks," please. Because posted like that, it certainly sounds like adult beverages were consumed by all.

Not sure how that apostrophe got there
