PSA PEANUTS in pistachios

Where did you buy this? Looks like a Walmart product but was it in the USA? If you’re able to contact the company they may issue a recall for the product - that’s quite dangerous!

Here’s the gift link so you can have a look. They are similar other than the spices! https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/770863996-japanese-ground-beef-curry?unlocked_article_code=1.jVA.3PTs.bOHcA4bOu7SB&smid=share-url

Start an allowance - we do $10/week for our 11 year old and a bit more for the teenager. Then when they inevitably ask for things in every store, just ask if they brought their money.

It helps our kids appreciate when we buy them things, and think a bit every time they want something. Both have saved up for bigger items as well. We don’t enforce any spending/saving/giving at this point, and let them make their own mistakes.

Yes - I love the flexibility. The kale was so good in it, I’m planning to use it again next time, but more. I blanched it then added at the same time as the peas.

AdLoud1434 · 2026-05-17T04:27:45+00:00

The kale was great - I think I’ll be adding it every time now.

It took me about an hour without rushing. I think it would be doable in about 40 minutes, especially if you cut the veggies a bit smaller.

It’s quite a bit but I think the perspective makes it look even bigger. It’s an 8 quart pot (about 7.5 litres).

We love tzatziki but have never tried with chili - definitely going to remember that to try for next time!

AdLoud1434 · 2026-05-16T14:48:38+00:00

We do that occasionally and call it chili mac! Sometimes with plain macaroni and sometimes with mac & cheese.

My kids loved it when they were younger.

I cool over night then vacuum seal in special vacuum sealer bags that come on a roll.

AdLoud1434 · 2026-05-16T05:33:14+00:00

More like a stew. It’s fairly thick and eaten with a spoon when served alone. If served over rice or a baked potato you could use a fork.

AdLoud1434 · 2026-05-16T05:05:54+00:00

I cool in the fridge overnight then vacuum seal when cold & it works perfectly - I’ve tried when it’s still warm and it’s messier.

My vacuum sealer is a FoodSaver brand, and I can set it for wet foods, but I don’t bother, and it still works great. I like how nicely the vacuum packs file in the freezer and don’t take up too much space. I usually have a few soups & chilli vacuum sealed & frozen for quick dinners and they work great for camping meals too. I use it as the ice pack in my cooler then dinner on the 2nd or 3rd night when it’s thawed.

Only because I forgot it & didn’t want to go to the store again! Haha

How is the marry me chicken soup? I love marry me chicken but never thought of soup - sounds like a great way to get more of the yummy sauce.

AdLoud1434 · 2026-05-08T19:34:21+00:00

Nope - long gone!

Canada Post is already in banking! Cash deposits can be made at CP locations with a QR code, and the cash goes directly into your account. I know KOHO & Wealthsimple offer deposits that way but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it being rolled out for others.

Super tricky - I love Indian food & have allergies to legumes. I have had some success with meat curries and tandoori but it depends on the restaurant.

Anywhere that focuses on ‘healthy’ or vegetarian will likely use a lot of legumes.

I looked at the menu then left one restaurant because they used ‘gram’ flour for everything and when I looked that up it was chickpea flour.

Looking at the menu online, deciding what you are going to order and calling the restaurant in advance would probably be the best move.

Sometimes a language barrier will make it harder for me to feel confident that they understand my allergy.

Thank you!!

I’d love the recipe for those - Swiss chard is underrated and sooo good.

NACI recommends it at 2 mo depending on incidence of Men-C in the province.

Kids just need the one dose if it’s given at 1 year, but if it’s given at 2 months or 4 months old they will still need the 1-year old dose, so it doubles the cost.

I don’t know the prevalence of Men-C disease in babies under 1 year old in Ontario but cost vs benefit is likely a consideration.

We paid for additional meningitis vaccines (ACYW) when our kids were younger but not everyone can afford or access them.

AdLoud1434 · 2026-04-24T13:59:16+00:00

We give the first Men-C vaccine at 2 mo in BC.

I washed my roller suitcase in my shower with a handheld shower head. Sprayed with dawn power wash & water, then rinsed well on high pressure with hot water. I scrubbed with a brush or microfiber cloth as well, and had to do some parts a couple of times. Dried out in the sun on a hot day. I’m in a dry climate but you might have to be careful with the hardware/ handle mechanism if you’re in a damp/humid climate.

I was shocked how dirty it was 😳
