Have you ever tried HelloFresh?

No. For me they make no sense.

1. They’re expensive because you’re paying per-meal - so breakfast, lunch and dinner and if you’re buying 1 meal for every food break thats 3 meals a day for 5-7 days a week - its a lot of money (of course you can decide on how many meals you want a week and per day).  I get the convenience if you live a super busy life and need a quick pre-prepared meal. It is good food and you can pick and choose your meals, how healthy and whatnot you want. 

2. I’m Italian, which means I grew up with the best cooks in the world-  my Nonna’s and my mom. Everything I know about cooking comes from the tradition of my Italian family and my obsession with the Food Network. I love to cook, I do it every day. Before I settled on going to University for English, I was going to go to culinary school. Cooking is fun and easy for me. I also live a very different life than Tessa. 

I’m also not great at following recipes which is why I can’t bake to save my life but cooking is easy. Cooking is all about experimenting and adding flavour and knowing what goes well with what. Which is why Tessa would probably be an amazing baker because she loves to follow direction, I do not. if I think I can make something better or already know how to do it, the recipe just becomes wasted paper. 

But they have promos all the time, I suggest trying it out for a week and seeing how you like it. My brother did it and he’s a big meal prep healthy eater and he said the same thing, really expensive. But its great if you need new meal ideas, which is always good.

Finally. Just in time for the Feb 20 anniversary date. Bets on when the retirement gets announced?!

TTYCT - February 10th on CTV !!

[anewchaptercalledwisdom-blog]

No matter what, people are not one dimensional, he was a talented skater and my thoughts are with his family. That said, he was suspended due to evidence of sexual misconduct and promptly committed suicide? Something is fishy here... Its time to talk more about mental health in the sport.

[anewchaptercalledwisdom-blog]

Hate to say it, but retirement announcement is coming people...

T/S have grown up together, been thru ups and downs and thier partnership will remain intact.

The challenge for both of them will be to find a significant other that accepts thier partnership and isnt insecure or jealous of what these 2 have. It will take a very special person to be able to do that, and an emotional maturity, I'm not entirely sure either of them has atm. This is why the only relationships they have been able to make work is long distance ones and as soon ad the honeymoon phase is over, it's over.

S has said it before, he might have to disconnect from T to make a relationship work. He has repeated ' one of the reasons maybe we wouldnt continue is to open up that side of our lives' and repeatedly alluded to not wanting to be single.

It's clear they are both ready to move on from competition, but while T might have a workaholic obsession with finding herself without S... S wants to throw himself into s relationship to avoid having to figure out what he wants to do with the rest of his life. ( not unlike most men I know) So hes taking a (well deserved) break. Let him be! He wants a timeout from T, the brand, training, media to retreat and have a private life. To regroup, have a chance to breathe and deal with the extreme highs and lows of the last year. Have some respect and let him!

They are cleverly separating themselves in the public eye, in preparation for a formal retirement announcement. It's coming...

[anewchaptercalledwisdom-blog]

This timeline makes the most sense to me, give all the emo/ chaotic IG content from T and S going off grid. They are back to being buisness partners, but there is enough history there I think thier friendship will remain intact. The fall tour will happen! It will be the make it or break it for S/J. Time will tell.

In summer and fall, I visited your blog FOR the "dissenting opinion" from the general tenor of the fandom. I wanted to check my own blind spot, and you (and a few others) offered that. Your story, for your detractors, never changed that VM hit the skids somewhere in late June/early July with a few course corrections in late October before they crashed on Nov. 29. The crazy sanctimony and policing that goes on in the fandom is so weird. Keep doing you, kid!

thx boo, suck it haterz

[anewchaptercalledwisdom-blog]

👏 I agree 100%. I think they are as close to soulmates as 2 people can be, but for whatever reason, it hasnt worked out. I think theier friendship has been through much worse and with weather whatever this is and they will continue to work together. As far as personal lives, he does not want to be single. I'm still a hopeless romantic at heart and am holding out that they are endgame, but that's MY narrative NOT theirs. Some people never get the fairytale ending. I'm happy he isnt drinking/getting into fights/sinking into a depression. If she makes him happy, then if you are truly a fan, be happy for him.

I just can't reconcile anything we're seeing anymore. Literally a year ago Tessa was "worth the wait", and now he's going on multiple vacations with someone else. There's just something kind of heart breaking about it.

Same here anon, same here. 

It’s just too sad to really consider and I will never understand what changed or when. They seemed so happy and in love up until I guess they got together this summer and I will never be able to understand it. I still think they are as close to soulmates as two people can be and I think they’ll find their way back to each other as they always do but idk how long it will take for them to do it. 

It hurts and it sucks and we will never know the story behind it but all we can do for now is wait and see where it goes. 

Edit: And let me be clear, I still think they are friends and that they will work together. The sadness I am expressing is my own. I don’t buy into the drama narrative people in this fandom are trying to push, but I am sad and so that’s what I’m talking about.

So proud of Kaitlyn and Andrew for getting both level 4s for the Tango Romantica pattern!

[anewchaptercalledwisdom-blog]

I go to a three hour appt and miss the photo montage. Cant keep up with miss T- shes really trying to seperate herself from S at least in the public eye. Maybe for him? Bc he clearly wants to be off grid and needs to figure out what he wants out of life. Meanwhile, good for her, they are both making healthier choices. Good for them

Tessa’s Instagram Story

[anewchaptercalledwisdom-blog]

This is a good sign. Still in Canada, chilling with friends.

manny_ski: Felt good to hang with the boys tonight! You wouldn’t know it, but as far as athletes go figure skaters and downhiller are quite similar. #⛷⛸🤙 #samesamebutdifferent#somuchlove

[anewchaptercalledwisdom-blog]

Is there confirmation that Scott is back in FL? Talk about a short visit. I bet he and T did very little interaction (talking)

1.  Not that I know of?  Of course, without random airport pics or resident stalkers, how would we know?  (PSA: don’t be a stalker.)

2.  If he is, lucky him being away from some cold Canadian January weather.  

3.  Uh, you did at least notice that there was a day of… well, whatever they were doing that day?  Did you hear him joking and her laughing?  And that was just what they were sharing with us.  You want to believe that was it?  That’s fine.  There’s an exit door for the fandom somewhere around.  Perhaps some should take it.
