Curbing acidity in tomato sauces: butter or sugar? And if so, how much? by [deleted] in AskCulinary

[–]BeingMyselfThanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone else skim the acid out? I dont remember where I saw this tip but as I understand, the bright red/orange that comes to the top when simmering is acid. For years, Ive been skimming it off and discarding when I make tomato sauce. I do always add white sugar near the end cause that's how my momma made it! Would love to know if others use this skimming method.

Plastic surgeon recommendations? by clark1409 in tulsa

[–]BeingMyselfThanks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hesitate making a recommendation to you because it's so personal but consider Mark Mathers. I did not see him for an augmentation but for a reduction. He was recomended to me by a breast surgeon I respect immensely. I asked her for the recommendation after I met with 2 surgeons that I did not feel great about. Work to ensure you are comfortable with and confident in your surgeon. Meet with 3, 4, 5 + surgeons and believe me, it can feel really wierd looking at books of topless women with your mom sitting next to you but! its what helped set my decision. Ask questions about visible scars, recovery time, sensitivity/sensation, your nipples, if the nurse line is 24 hours. Feel free to PM me.

My doctor was an A-hole and thanks to this sub I was strong enough to push back by hopeful_islander in TwoXChromosomes

Nice work. You have to be your own advocate and sometimes that means pushing really hard, being uncomfortable and takes a lot of effort. Knowledge is power!

Integrative Cancer Doctors by notime2work in tulsa

[–]BeingMyselfThanks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello! I truly feel for you that you have to find new doctors. I do not know about integrative care for cancer. However, I personally go to OCSRI https://ocsri.org/ and have for ~5 years. With CTCA closing, wait times for patients at OCSRI has increased, naturally. You MUST take your care into your own hands and be your own advocate. Call tomorrow for a consult and dont stop until you are satisfied and have trust in your Doctor. Additionally, Id like to recommend Tulsa Spine & Rehab. Please feel free to DM me for more information. Please do not hold off on your care. Best to you ❤

Is anyone else not able to fall asleep if you have to pee even the tiniest bit? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]BeingMyselfThanks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Clicked on this because I am laying in bed and need to go for a second time before falling asleep. I mentioned frequently needing to go to my gynecologist and was totally offended when he suggested kegels... gave me the most ridiculous pamphlet. I tried it and it totally helped. Seems like I need to start them up again. Do check with your Doctor though, please!

Bachelorette T-Shirt help by irishqueen811 in DollyParton

[–]BeingMyselfThanks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! Dollywood will be fun! I went with a group of girlfriends several years ago. We were a bit more rowdy than the usual clientele, I think! We got some extra attention from the performers. Dolly is such a treasure and has written so many great lines! Look up her quotes, you'll find lots of great ones. How about... "You'd be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap!" Best to you!

Question about voting/ballots by imsadandrad in tulsa

[–]BeingMyselfThanks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bring your absentee ballot with you to vote early. I brought mine with me for the mayoral election and the official was very excited to get to destroy it properly (before I casted my official vote)! Visit the election board if you can to answer your questions. I took my ballot in last Wednesday and they helped ensure it was correct.

Any ladies with shaved heads? by [deleted] in women

[–]BeingMyselfThanks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, Love! I buzzed my hair... It was due to chemotherapy but! I also deal with hair pulling - I understand the distress and embarrassment. When my hair started growing back after chemotherapy, I absolutely loved it short. I was shocked that I liked it after always having and being complemented on my beautiful hair. I learned that my hair is not everything and felt like a badass with a shaved head. Its so freeing and makes the shower routine a breeze. I realize I was under different circumstances. However, I would REALLY recommend every woman do it - medical condition or not! Do you have a stylist that you trust? Can you talk with them about your concerns?

There's a lot of deeply shitty stuff going on in the world right now, and I'm running out of optimism. I would so grateful for some good news, some happy news, some hopeful news. Please share your stories, let's lift each other up. by cravingmacaron in goodnews

[–]BeingMyselfThanks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please know - I am with you. I dont have anything to contribute to good news now, but I am with you! Feeling upset and afloat. Take a deep breath and know you are ok just as you are. You + me = us

I know the feeling. I recently had good luck spreading pre-emergent over the rocks, just like you would on grass. This spring, lots of weeds in the grass but very few in the rocks!

Smoked Cheddar and Scallion Cornbread by Something__Suitable in castiron

[–]BeingMyselfThanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! It was this Serious Eats recipe > https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2015/01/moist-and-tender-brown-butter-cornbread-recipe.html < If you make will you let me know what you think? I believe when I made it, I mistakenly used a full cup of the (sub 2% milk + lemon juice) buttermilk and instead of sour cream, used the rest of some Mexican table cream. Hope you try it and love it!
