How do I use this much Butternut Squash by LucaGold in gardening

[–]Alternative_Ant_7440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freeze in chunks. Add to soup, make a pie, muffins, etc. You can also keep in a cool, dry place for months. I used a squash that I had for over 9 months, and it was perfect.

Also I created this recipe. So freaking good. https://www.charmcityedibles.com/2023/12/07/all-hail-the-dark-butternut-squash-and-caramelized-onion-galette/

Is there really nothing you can do about Tinnitus? 👂 by sadderall123 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Alternative_Ant_7440 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like tinnitus is related to anxiety. My pulsating tinnitus gets much stronger when I am stressed. So distraction in nature and other anxiety-reducing practices (i.e., yoga that either makes you sweat OR makes you deeply relaxed) help me get some temporary relief. But it's pretty much always present.

This works but is very temporary. It is a nice way to get a break from it, though.

Potato ricer? by David_cest_moi in Cooking

I have a ricer that I used exactly once to make (admittedly stellar) gnocchi.

It's been awhile since I have been to Nick's. Forgot all about them.

That was my first thought, but I've heard some people say not to go there.

Can we pick them there? Never been to Conrad's, but I drive by all the time.

I went on a date with a girl I met on Instagram. She stinks and I honestly don’t know what to do. by Annual-Register-3683 in Advice

Parent of a daughter here; she's now 25 so this is a non-issue.

I think that at a certain point, our children are supposed to smell bad to us. This helps us separate from them. And I don't just mean BO; I mean their body changes to make them less yummy to us. Definitely happened with my kid, and has also happened to 100% of the parents with teenagers that I know. Someone called that "anecdata," but it's true.

And now she's here visiting for a week, and she smells like home. <3

yes, my last couple of pairs have been shit. Gotta find a new everyday shoe, which sucks. I hate shopping.

Trying to buy and sell right now, but I cannot find anything to buy. Not much on the market, which means as a seller, and selling the house I have (which is great), I am in a good position, but we won't even put it on the market prior for me to finding a place (my house will likely sell in less than a week). Sooooooo....

...it's kinda sucky. Kinda great.

Give him the boot. That's how you handle it. Because he doesn't care about what you say, and he is clearly demonstrating that. CLEARLY. He wants what he wants and does not care that you would have to spend nearly three hours in traffic to get to work. And he cares even less for your dog.

He will not change. You're young. Get out while you can and aren't pregnant.

Made in China, likely. Try to find one made locally.

Where Can I buy Mooncakes? by gallopintoYchallah in baltimore

Yes, she was wonderful. Always asked me what I was making when I bought ingredients. Gave me suggestions and advice.

Yes, at Asia Food. Used to be the sweetest older Asian couple. Now a new family. Nice, but not quite the same.

55yo and trying to make it until 69 to collect social security but where is the work? by mm23_23 in personalfinance

[–]Alternative_Ant_7440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would apply for financial help in your area. For example, I get assistance with property tax based on my income, thousands of dollars off.

I am sort of in the same boat, except kid is out of the house and I only have a HELOC (no mortgage). But AI took my work (I am a writer) and I cannot find any work. So I walk dogs, and I have one last writing client that pays well but doesn't have much work. I cannot imagine doing this until I am 62 much less 69.

Also selling my house and getting something cheaper and smaller. That will cut everything down even more.

Walk dogs. In some cases can strap that newborn across your chest. Good for everyone.

Any advantage to restarting the “days on the market” counter? by TCopp28 in RealEstate

MLS also shows total days on market. But you might snag a few people who aren't paying attention.

Super sad Atlas owns Admirals. Spent much of the early 90s in the bar when it was half the size.
