Because she was a YouTuber, who mostly did cooking shows, I put the thread here. I didn’t watch her regularly, but I was aware of her online presence and did check her out occasionally.
She died from complications of diverticulitis, compounded by morbid obesity. I don’t know how old she was.
Facebook obituary says she was born in 1979.
I learned about her from the Wandas Macaroni Salad thread. If you offered me a wager at the time whether she’s be alive in 15 years I’d have bet the house on the under.
Wow. That video is a cry for help.
Here is a link to her channel
Somehow I remembered that macaroni salad thread. I am also stunned that she lived so long.
Man, you forget how different the Dope used to be back in the day, huh.
Talk about prescient.
Here’s my ancient thread on this topic.
Bye Sara. My mom liked your pasta salad.
Whoa. I missed that thread. Yuck. I was actually surprised at the number of people saying they put sugar or condensed milk in their macaroni salad. My macaroni salad contains: salad-sized macaroni, diced white onion, diced celery, diced dill pickles, dill pickle juice (I always save the brine after I eat the pickles in the jar), Best Food mayonnaise, salt, pepper (sometimes I go bougie and use white pepper). I never add any extra sweetener, and most people like my mac salad.
I felt sorry for her. I’ve lost 60 pounds over the last year or so, and it wasn’t easy. I like sweets, but I could never eat food like that. And it was so soupy. It’d have to sit for at least 24 hours for the pasta to soak up all that juice.
When I was young, I’d have probably mocked her.
Now I just feel sad. 45! That’s just getting started.
I’ve also heard of people putting honey in a pasta salad, but the sweetener was usually in what could best be described as a homeopathic amount.
I know people do it, but it doesn’t appeal to me. Now, if I’m making a creamy style cole slaw, I’ll add a bit of sweet.
From I have read, it was a combination of stomach virus, bowel blockage, and of course morbid obesity.
I dunno, she seemed to be struggling to breathe in her video, when all she is doing is talking about putting things in a bowl. There’s overweight and healthy and not, and she was not…
