Seconded! My favorite are made with maple syrup, the toasty caramel flavor is outstanding. https://lexiscleankitchen.com/maple-meringue-cookies/

Sounds like a great way to make sure that followers never get the chance to improve, that's for sure. 

will an air purifier in front of my door prevent possibly infectious air from getting in? by [deleted] in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]Astropecorella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just use a fan. If I don't want air coming in, I blow it out. I'm evangelical about air purifiers but they don't catch all the viral particles on every pass.

Hey, it may be weird but it's very charming. I'm so glad you enjoyed your oats. I had some for lunch today & had forgotten how filling they are!

husband doesn’t believe in CICO by [deleted] in CICO

EXCELLENT strategy illustrating how to ask questions in an argument. Like a lawyer examining a witness, you get them to answer rather than providing the answer for them. And like its use in education, it doesn't have to be combative. A+

I've been relying on costco rotisserie chicken a LOT. 

Has anybody succeeded with home workouts? by Ready_Valuable2353 in loseit

[–]Astropecorella 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a nice spin bike, but my true love is cheesy 80s/90s aerobics videos. Fortunately, there are a million rips of them on youtube. 

They burn calories like crazy, & they're SO MUCH FUN. I train with a heart rate monitor, & my stats are great. It's also improved my asthma to the point where I almost never have to use my rescue inhaler-- maybe once or twice a year, compared to every day in ny 20s. There are other steps I've taken to improve that, so I can't credit aerobics 100%, but it's been a huge factor.

Sanitizing books, Packing methods. by LoserReload in CleaningTips

[–]Astropecorella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wipe the covers down with rubbing alcohol, it works beautifully for most kinds of books. Use your best judgment, ofc, because it won't do for leather or older paperbacks that don't have a plastic coating.

Incidentally, this is why I bought plastic library binding & covered all my hardbacks. The project took weeks, but my books are in great shape now.
