To get you started on your culinary journey, we’ve rounded up 60 recipes ranging from traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, and Vietnamese recipes to Americanized classics (like chopped chicken salad) and creative options inspired by Asian ingredients.

The Endearing and Annoying Things About Each Sign

zodiacmind:

Aries:
Endearing: One of the most lovable things about Aries is that they approach everything in life with a child-like wonder and enthusiasm.
Annoying: Aries get so freaking fired up about everything, they often turn minor conflicts into major brawls.

Taurus:
Endearing: Taurus will shower the people they love with random acts of love and generosity.
Annoying: At the first sign of sickness, Taurus will clear the calendar, turn off the phone, call into work, and basically act like the world is ending.

Gemini:
Endearing: A Gemini will always verbally express their feelings about everything. If they love you, you will hear about it constantly and feel like you have a #1 fan.
Annoying: Gemini has a tendency to act as if they know so much about what you’re talking about, even if they don’t.

Cancer:
Endearing: Cancer constantly wants to be with their loved ones. Like a loyal puppy, they will follow you around the house begging for quality time and snuggles.
Annoying: You’d be lucky to have a minute go by without Cancer’s insecurity issues popping up; they require constant reassurance.

Leo:
Endearing: Every Leo has a bouncy, bubbly, positive energy that can’t be stifled and is super contagious.
Annoying: Leos are the biggest whiners. If things don’t go their way, if they don’t feel appreciated, hell, even if they are just a little tired you won’t hear the end of it.

Virgo:
Endearing: If you are close to Virgo, you know one of their cutest qualities is how they are always gathering different opinions and insights.
Annoying: Virgo’s incessantly worry about everything, making simple things seem overly complicated.

Libra:
Endearing: Libra values other people so much that they will always go to great lengths to make any situation feel comfortable, calm, and enjoyable.
Annoying: Libras will tell you exactly what you want to hear, and aren’t above using their people skills to get what they want.

Scorpio:
Endearing: If someone they love has been wronged, Scorpio will do everything in their power to make it right — and we mean everything.
Annoying: They get so intense and serious about every little thing, making small decisions seem like life or death.

Sagittarius:
Endearing: Sagittarius has an innately optimistic outlook that allows them to view the world from a place of hope and optimism.
Annoying: They are such perfectionists and more than a bit controlling — if you don’t do things their way, you are doing things wrong.

Capricorn:
Endearing: Capricorns have a warm and nurturing way about them. When you are around them you will always feel supported and well taken care of.
Annoying: If there’s not a specific plan in place, Capricorn cannot handle it and it’s only a matter of time before they freak out.

Aquarius:
Endearing: An Aquarius is always ready and willing to jump in and lend a helping hand no matter what else is going on in their own lives.
Annoying: Aquarians believe they always have the most logical perspective, AKA they don’t know when to shut up and listen instead of offering advice.

Pisces:
Endearing: Pisces is naturally a subtle, open, and vulnerable person, which is something our society often frowns upon but they can’t help it and it’s lovely!
Annoying: They often seem to be stuck in slow motion, so it takes them literally three times as long as anyone else to get something done.

Ok, the endearing is accurate. The annoying is a flat out lie.
I’d basically have to be far to sick to even wake up/walk before I even consider calling in sick to work.
