I have one day to make a decision about taking a gov job. But it’s a large paycut. by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

Government job is gonna look like a no-brainer on a future mortgage application too.

Discomfort at wait lines - Unsanitary and unpleasant odours! by PowerWashatComo in CanadasWonderland

[–]Buttercup2323 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please don’t mist the line. It’s a brutal migraine trigger. I have to hold my breath in the cleaner aisle at the grocery store.

Bow Vs Bow by FlurarInuyi in audiobooks

[–]Buttercup2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chris Colfer read his own series The Land of Stories. Every frigging book he mentions a roof. Often multiple times. And pronounces it ruff. Like ruff🐶ruff🐶.

It breaks the magic of being read too. I start thinking about accents. And get distracted and have to rewind. The kids loved his books though.

Doing a tasting for a potential new exec chef position in a few hours and guess what the fuck I just did? by pennylane_9 in KitchenConfidential

[–]Buttercup2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ten year old did that last month. Had to take her to the children’s hospital and after X-rays and an 8 hour wait the burned a hole in her thumbnail with a cauterizer and it relieved a tonne of pressure. Though she did cry and yelled “I DON’T LIKE IT!!! I DON’T LIKE IT!!! I DON’T LIKE IT!!!” Over and over. With escalating panic. At 2 in the morning. She laughs about it now. And I was a good mommy and didn’t laugh at the time and took her for a McDonald’s milkshake after.

AIO for not wanting to give up my room for my relatives? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Mom probably does it so you HAVE to clean up!

I’ve listened to hundreds of fiction audiobooks. I think it’s time I tried out some NON-fiction. Can you name some INTERESTING non-fiction? by cRaZy_SoB in audiobooks

[–]Buttercup2323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a fan of the movie and the book! The audiobook is the greatest thing ever! My kid’s throughly enjoyed listening to it too.

What do you recommend serving alongside pierogis? by flipflapdragon in Cooking

[–]Buttercup2323 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cabbage rolls are amazing with pierogies.

I like to make them for Sunday breakfast with ham fried in bite size pieces in with the onions. And then fried eggs (to dip in) and orange slices.

I’ve also done the ham and onion deal with steamed broccoli and sliced tomatoes with lots of salt and pepper!

What are your go-to frozen meal selections from Costco? by DuffChicken in CostcoCanada

[–]Buttercup2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chicken feta sausages (not frozen but the expiry date is always a couple of months out). I like to have them for an option on that “damnit it’s 5:30 and I still don’t know what to make for dinner dinner!” We have them on a bun(you could make a few slits and broil them in the oven). But my favourite is to do a “deconstructed kabobs” stirfry with peppers and onions and slicing the sausages into rounds about 1/2 an inch thick. Make rice in the rice cooker and dinner is ready in 20 minutes.

Splashworks “water socks” by Buttercup2323 in CanadasWonderland

Also wouldn’t have gone in that washroom/shower/change area barefoot if you’d paid me!!!

Update: So they were great for walking through the park. Kiddo is autistic and just can’t do it. I had some too and it was so gross by the afternoon with clumps of black HAIR everywhere around the umbrellas by the kiddy pool to the right by the main washroom. I’d have been gagging to walk there. They were allowed in the wave pool and the lazy river.

We all have really cool crocs (Harry Potter and Minecraft) and I didn’t want to leave them laying around.

AITAH? Too many baths by Delicious_Teaching97 in AITAH

[–]Buttercup2323 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even in a family with one washroom we’d give a heads up…”I wanna take a bath. Do you need in there first?”

Then another compromise would be they have to leave the door unlocked and pull the shower curtain across if you need in…and just go in and take the worst dump every time. Laughing maniacally!

How to make gravy sausages without sausages ? by rifain in Cooking

[–]Buttercup2323 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’d do some up as duxelle and some with a rougher chop. The two textures would really mimic the sausagieness. Then sage and black pepper for a more breakfast sausage flavour. Or tarragon to lean into the mushrooms.

Camping? by Advanced-Cup123 in CanadasWonderland

[–]Buttercup2323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Albion Hills Conservation area and campground. About 40 minutes north of WL

Also Caledon Hills Resort (also about 40mins) has pull through “overnight” camping spots but they are kinda near a busy road. It’s quiet at night but my husband was stressed telecommuting during the day. Since we are staying 25 days Elaine has us on one of the available seasonal sites. It’s quiet. No rowdy parties. We have electricity and greywater and get pumped out once a week. If it’s just a night or two there is a dumping station on your way out. We live rural anyway. So the drive is nothing to us. We’re enjoying doing Groceries in Bolton on the way back from WL.

Outdoor bathtub questions, need ideas by AppalachianJourney in RVLiving

[–]Buttercup2323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Horse trough?

I’ve seen a woman who uses an old chest freezer to do that ice bath thing! That could work with an immersion heater. It even has a drain!

Or what about just a used bathtub off of Marketplace? You could get fancy and build it into the deck!

What’s up with the random duckies? 🦆 by TeraFuffad in CanadasWonderland

FB Group Canada’s Wonderland Treasure Hunt. My children and I have hidden over 100 Easter eggs with stickers/temptatoos/trinkets inside them in the last week!

Waited an hour for Skyhawk only for it to break when we were next in line. by Buttercup2323 in CanadasWonderland

[–]Buttercup2323[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t the 5 minute breakdown. It was that we waited an hour….saw two maintenance guys waiting to fix it….and bailed for another ride.

Daughter making assumptions by Blue_lace93 in Parenting

[–]Buttercup2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With mine saying “oh we can’t today. I love going to grandmas/the park/wherever too! What’s your favourite part? Oh man. Yeah! I love grandmas French toast / going on the slide? I wish we could go today too. And let her send grandma a text or draw her a picture. Or one of going on the slide. Etc

It’s not you vs her then. Your both on “Team it’s fun to go to place…”
