i saw "futurecanoe" and i prepared for death

So sorry for your loss, Inga. Even I lost my grandma 3 years ago, and it just left me and my family devastated...the worst being my grandpa, he's stopped going out altogether and my mom has to also look after him. It's all become very restrictive, but it is also important to keep going in life in every possible opportunity. You are really strong by keeping to your simple daily routine, and that is therapeutic for so many of your viewers, who are always with you. Sending you lots of comforting hugs and love. Take care of yourself❤️❤

I have no idea what Avatar is, never seen or heard of it... but I love your video, I love seeing food made in other countries and using different foods and methods of cooking, thank you for your time putting this together. I'm from US in Michigan.

Inga, I doubt you'll see this, but please know you are not alone in that struggle with grief. I had the exact same struggle as you when my sweet Nana passed September of 2021 after a long battle with breast cancer. She is the first major loss that I have experienced in my cognizant life. That two-sided struggle of watching the world pass like yours didn't just end, but also the guilt of trying to not let the world pass despite your lost loved one(s) not being in it, there really is nothing like it, in the worst possible way. The best (unrequested) advice I can give you is to let yourself experience the grief when it comes. It will come at the worst times, when you least expect it. But, blocking it will change you in ways that are unhealthy for this lifelong healing journey. Don't hide away from the memories you have of them, as that'll build to a resentment of self in the future. Just, be. Sit in silence with your coffee, and take it a day at a time. Those tears and stomach pangs will turn to that warm feeling of cherished memories in the future. Sending you so much love, Inga. Blessings and peace to your Grandma and Julius. 🤍🐝

No waste movement. Good

Hi Inga, I lost my mom 4 years ago. Grief is a complicated feeling and something that never leaves, in a way. You learn how to live with it, but not being sad all the time does not mean you weren't/aren't fond of them. Grief sadness comes in waves. Ultimately, the best thing you can do is honor them remember them by also loving the fullest the people that is still around you. Sending you a big hug ✨

As someone who lost both a close friend and a family member within the last two years, grief is not linear and I’m still working through it myself ❤️ wishing peace for you, and if you feel inclined, I did grief therapy for a little while and it’s helped me in processing so much 🥺

when u opening up ur cafe?!!? stay strong and sending lots of love to you and your family!

guanciale is cured already so yes! you can eat it raw! i do enjoy it on my paninis with some radicchio and grandma's picked capsicum :)

wondering where in France you got that beautiful croissant! my mom and I tried a bunch of different ones and I would love to go back and try more. also thanks for the reminder about living life to the fullest ❤ it’s so easy to get lost in the day-to-day.

Hi Inga! Love watching your vids. I know it takes time to cook, film, edit, and upload and I appreciate your hard work! The only thing I'd like to request is closed captions on your videos. TIA! <3 On grief: I've been an unlucky passenger twice recently. The first time was my Lola, and my world fell apart. She was 99 years old and I _thought_ I was ready. I absolutely was not. I lost the ability to feel every emotion but anger. I became nonverbal. I basically became a ghost because I was watching my own life instead of actually being present in it. Though it was Dad's mom, he had already made his peace and wasn't as affected as me. The second time wasn't bad, but it still feels weird. My cousin who was raised as my sibling, and who is only a few years older than me, died in a motorcycle accident. This time it was my dad who was most affected. I still write her letters (that I never send) as though she's alive. Good luck on your journey!

My grandma passed away earlier this year. Some days I think of her and smile but some days I still shed a tear. Sending you light and love ❤️ thank you for sharing your happy distractions

Wow superb and awesome work ❤🎉and very tasty and yummy and unique recipe 😊

Thank you for sharing your grief, Inga. In my own journey of grief, when it feels like there's nothing else to look forward to in life, it is truly the little things that keep me going. I can't even tell you how many times I have not had the energy to cook or think of eating, and I see that you've uploaded a new video. I make myself get up, and eating alongside your videos brings a special kind of comfort. When I am crying too hard and want to be left alone as an introvert, but need some form of quiet company, this really means a lot to me. It is not easy to grieve, but you have fellow grievers with you who will hold this space together with you. They will always remain a part of us, and the best way to remember them is to live well for them. All the best, make sure to eat well and take care of yourself ❤

Love you inka! God bless u! Praying Jesus love and comfort over u!! Grief is really hard but with God it is easier!! He loves and comforts us if we allow him in our hearts❤:)

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma and friend. It's just so sad. And you're right. Life is so precious and we are here so briefly. Five years ago I was reminded how important "play" was in my life. After years of being focused on creative achievement and productivity I forgot how to be playful. In fact, I had a lot of shame around things I loved as a kid like playing games and tinkering with old gadgets. You mentioned Hogwarts Legacy. In another one of your videos you mentioned playing Zelda. When I rediscovered video games in 2019 it showed me just how much I was burying my playful spirit. Animal Crossing and Zelda got my partner and I through the pandemic and some really tough times and has taught us to slow down, have fun and detach from work. Keep playing your games, I hear Hogwarts Legacy is great (I'm saving it for winter). All the best to you and your loved ones. Rest. Keep finding joy. Be well.

Thank you for sharing your emotions and discussing grief. It's always an emotion that I feel we force ourselves to navigate through when sometimes grief is just there and doesn't need to be sifted through, especially at the moment. Grief looks different for everyone and I don't think anyone should feel bad for how they endure it. Overall, love this channel and wish you the best! P.S. I think the maple cream could be a cool ice cream mix-in!!

awe instantly cried but your right about grief you need to take time to let go and be happy. always remember the good times. if it makes you happy do it! today i want to go out and look for a bday present for my boyfriend.

they loved you and you loved them. that they're here is not as important as the memories of love you had for them. They are still loving you now both metaphysically and in your own mind❤

Actually, my cooking style is like I am on Chopped every day. Especially when I need to use up things cause my fiancée and I's hobby is going to different grocery stores, so I always have ingredients I don't necessarily need to buy 😅

Who Asked

I watch your video and i love them to try and if i am successful maybe i made this for extra income🤭 thank u

hey Inga, quck google search says it's fine eating guancale raw. I think it has something to do with the curing process that pretty much kills off any potential food borne illness so as long as you're eating/consuming the raw product in safe temperatures you're fine :) just treat it as sashimi or charcuterie with thin cuts!

Inga in Ayurveda it is said that honey turns toxic when you heat it up

I wouldn’t add the sugar

Thank you for opening up - I’m sorry for your loss 🖤

Please sit down for drinking and eating. Enjoy life. Take it down a notch. Your body will thank you

Ok don’t throw the mushroom stem away 😮 just the little bottom part like half a cm you need to cut it off but that’s all

Gurl why you’re so critical with yourself? That’s not lack of self control - that’s being inspired and open to life

Grapefruit juice > Tangerine juice > Orange juice

I’m so very sorry for your loss. It is definitely pretty rough losing someone so close.

Ramen hack genius! Thanks for the inspo.🥰

i feel like everything just becomes a bit more relaxing whenever i watch your videos. thank you.

Love the beat production on this video.

Thank you for making these great videos. Your food always looks delicious and it is great to see your little adventures to the shops and markets. Grief is painful, and navigating it is challenging. But life has to go on. I cannot just pretend things are okay, but I try to accept it eventually, which takes time, and remember good times and magical moments with those who are gone, which makes me smile. The people you love would not want you to be sad, and there is gratefulness and happiness to be had for the fact that you got to spend time with them and I am sure your grandmother and best friend are very proud of what you have achieved and are continuing to look after you, just in a different way. You never truly know how important something is until it goes away, so go talk to some loved ones you may not have seen or spoken to for a while, give them a hug, and tell them how much you appreciate them. I am sorry for your loss, take care, and I wish you all the best.

I literally just went to a farmers market today and can't agree more to having no self control at one haha. I totally bought way more than I actually needed but everything looked so fresh and good. Also, so sorry to hear about your loss. Take all the time you need to get back to a good place. You never need to apologize or make excuses for taking time for yourself. It is definitely hard to lose someone so close to you. I wish you the best in your continued journey to find the good in all things. You should never feel bad about treating yourself here and there.

One thing to try is maple cream and tea

3:06 wow people who don't mind being on camera and they don't act like Karens? that's something you don't see often

Thank you for being open and vulnerable. I love this channel and I started watching this channel after my grandma passed. Cooking is nostalgic, healing and magical. Your video was beautiful and your pasta scarf is iconic ❤❤

Perdi meu irmao há 14 meses, a dor ainda se faz presente, sinto falta dele todos os dias. Minha vida nunca mais foi a mesma, eu não sou mais a mesma desde o dia da morte dele. É muito difícil ter que lhe dar com tudo, com a saudade, a culpa entre muitas outras coisas. Ainda espero pelo dia que isso melhore, mas estou aprendendo a viver com essa dor. Sinto muito por sua perda

I’ve always thought that buldak noodles looked delicious, but I don’t really like spicy food. Maybe I’ll try these hacks with the usual ramen I like to eat.

Hi, loved the video it was great and I really appreciated all the hard work you put in. Sorry this is odd topic, but I am dying to know where you got your breakfast t-shirt!!! ❤

Thank you for posting, Inga!! Sending you lots of love and good vibes from Boston!! I think of you every time someone mentions how good the food is in New York City~ Also everytime I yolo in the kitchen.. I've gained so much cooking confidence from watching your videos and I really appreciate it

4:46 CALM DOWN🤣♥️ aren't you the sweetest!!!

I'm so, so sorry about your grandma and your friend. Grief is meant to be shared, that's the only way it becomes bearable. So thank you for sharing, it must've taken a lot of courage ❤

Inga's back, loves it. ❤❤❤ gonna play some Hogwart's legacy too!! Twinsies!!💗💗💗

So sorry for your loss. Everyone processes grief differently. Please give time to yourself and don’t shove those emotions down.

That pasta looked and sounded so good! Grief is a lot. I'm glad you're doing some self care. I'm really sorry for your loss and hope you have a good support system. ❤

That maple cream comes from my hometown! Lovely baby bok choy. Condolences for your loss.
