Sounds like it wants some experimenting. I think in the interest of not overdoing it, and being able to easily remove the fat (since you’d only want to use the smidgiest little bit of essential oil I’d think) I’d probably start by mixing a bit of essential oil into another oil, something either neutral or…

Heck, now I’m all fired up to buy an Instant Pot lol

Thanks! I made a big pot of potato soup this weekend and dished it out to freeze. If nothing else, actually labelling this stuff will probably go a long way towards reminding me to eat it! It’s no longer mystery mush, it’s potato soup I made in December.

I played the new Jackbox games this weekend actually. Overall, wasn’t a huge fan — we started with the one where you have to design and pitch a product, and it was just too much. We all just wanted something snappy to play while drinking, and this one just asks for SO MUCH INPUT before it goes to the other players…

I am bad at adulting, thanks. I just realized the “soup” in my freezer is from more than a year ago.

I think I have it in my head that once I’ve frozen it, it’s gross. Like the texture will be bad.

I need to learn how to do this. I like to cook (theoretically) but I hate to cook for one. And when I get it in my head to cook, I overdo it. And then I let the leftovers go bad in the fridge and then throw them away.

Oh man, the rib thing suuucks. I think I did this last year with a cough, irritated the heck out of some rib ligament on one side. It wasn’t a pain that *concerned* me like I was dying (mine was more to one side, not in the middle), but it was super annoying. Couldn’t lay down comfortably in any but like one position,…

To be fair, though, if you have the symptoms and extreme pain suggesting a heart attack, DO get thee to the emergency room. My mom insisting her way to the hospital and ignoring my stepdad trying to calm her down (and making him pull over so she could drive herself) is why she’s alive today. Yay!

I didn’t *divorce* since we never married, but I broke up with a long-term partner of 9 years I owned a house with a few months ago. I totally get this, even now. I like to cook, but I hate to cook for one. It’s been months, and I’m fine, but relearning how to feed myself as a single person is the worst. There are a…

Damn. That’s a hell of a nice thing to do. Shame to hear he was a dick the rest of the time.

The gym I used to go to in my home town was surprisingly decent. I mean, they still only had one squat rack, but they had a much larger free weight area, several benches of different kinds, and a few free weight “machines” that basically facilitated a few moves like leg presses (and took regular weight plates) without…

This little thing is cute af, but this “companion device” thing is absolute crap and a money grab. Also boooo on the battery life. But it’s so cute. Look at it.

Life goals.

I moved recently(ish), and my new place is right around the corner from a Culver’s. It’s a dangerous place to be, so close to quality fried food.

Shoot, I got a nice bottle opener keyring as a freebie from a local brewery. It’s not as small, maybe, but it was way less than 15 (or 22!) bucks.

They’re definitely overselling this. “Use it to spark a flint!” You know, like any other piece of steel. I don’t doubt it can cut packing tape just as well as a key I’ve already got on my keyring does. It can also pop a can of paint as well as a key does, and looks like it’s slightly better at being a screwdriver than…

Hmmmm. This is good to know, and I’m curious to try it now too, but .... how’m I supposed to play pokemon in bed if I do that? It’s traditional.

A lot of people (I’m one of them) prefer the e-ink display for reading over long periods of time, it’s much more comfortable on the eyes and takes much less power to run. Nobody’s twisting your arm to buy one if you don’t find value in it.
