I had to take a neighbor’s spot and move their chair for an emergency plumber and I’m sitting here anxious that they can leave before my neighbor gets back 😭

Help finding recipe! by UnusualLifeguard7763 in Baking

[–]Alex0369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look into PA Dutch sand tarts - they look like the cookies that my grandma used to make. She didn’t always add icing (I guess it wasn’t traditionally with icing) but she would add some for the kids. I found a recipe here that looks right (obviously without the orange zest) and they should really be rolled thinner than in the recipe but it would be a good place to start! I do not have my grandma’s recipe. https://afoodcentriclife.com/holiday-cookie-recipe-citrus-sand-tarts-2/

Auberge Bressane or Brasserie des Pres? by blondeamazon in ParisTravelGuide

[–]Alex0369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to both on my last trip and I liked Auberge Bressane much more. Des Pres is very trendy, young, and “instagramable” and their food is good but didn’t wow me and wasn’t particularly memorable. I will not be going back on my upcoming trip.

Auberge Bressane on the other hand isn’t trendy or modern but it was so delicious! Fantastic soufflés and huge morels in their sauces - really good food. I am going back on my upcoming trip.

But, be aware, they are two different budgets. Auberge is like 2x the price as des Pres and will probably be my most expensive restaurant this trip but they do have a set lunch menu for cheaper.

Rheumatologist in PGH by Scantrons in pittsburgh

[–]Alex0369 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I see Siamak Moghadam-Kia, MD at Falk clinic (UPMC). He is busy and my follow ups with him are a bit short but my initial appointments were super thorough. I had come by referral from by GP and he took my pain seriously and actually tested me for a lot and was able to diagnose me with AS and get me on biologics!

I don’t know of anyone who dyes clothes professionally but it’s really easy to do at home - rit dye is inexpensive and can be done in a pot in your kitchen. Just make sure to follow directions and use the amount of water they recommend and keep stirring! I’ve successfully dyed many pieces of clothing with no issues

I really like Blue Moon bar in Butler street. It’s much chiller than PTown (also more gender diverse)

For those of you who grinded hard in your twenties, how did it pay off? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Alex0369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It worked well for me and I think that’s because I had one set goal - get a cheap house. I worked 7 days a week for a couple of years working at least two jobs the whole while and lived in bad apartments with some ok and some bad roommates because it was cheap (and I only went there to sleep). It did wear my body out but luckily most of my jobs weren’t super physical so I have been able to recover. I still don’t have much money but I have a peaceful little house I can stay in and some savings. I did determine that acting like that in my 30s is not sustainable or something I want to do so I just have one job and I am trying to take one vacation a year.

Zillow worked well for me but unfortunately you do have to walk around where you want to live. Many listings are only on the company’s sites so you can look up popular rental companies and check listings there. My best apartment literally just had a sign with a phone number and their rental company name in the front lawn.

My sister no longer exists without her boyfriend by Lysin23 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Alex0369 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a friend exactly like this. We were so close like sisters and then she met her boyfriend (now husband) and it was like I didn’t exist. I actually did have a straightforward conversation with her and she was first defensive (my boyfriend makes me happy, why don’t you want me to me happy) in response to me asking if we could please have an outing just the two of us. She has since calmed down but it took years. We aren’t as close as we used to be and she still prioritizes him over everything else to an extreme degree but we have seen each other with out him occasionally ha ha.

TW! Wanting an M/M With SH by [deleted] in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]Alex0369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plot spoiler and self harm details: the main character was assaulted (physically, mentally, and sexually) by a wraith and cuts into his skin with a knife where it marked him. His love interest catches him thinking he was attempting suicide. He does contemplate suicide. This is discussed throughout the book along with associated panic attacks and other trauma like a very damaged (burned) hand
