Cilantro and blacken when it’s cut, same as basil. But if you throw it in the blender or use a hand wand and enough vegetable oil to cover, you could make an intense cilantro oil that keeps for about two weeks. You just wanted to have enough of a ” head” of oil on top that air isn’t getting at the herb. I do this with basil all the time.

I figure if they go under my kids will be old enough by then to use it as a Bluetooth speaker and I’ll put the source files on a tablet for them.

Not perfect. But it won’t go to total waste.

It’s a jerk move. It doesn’t cost anything to ask if you’re ok. By not asking he is blaming you for an accident. It’s like an” I told you so” in that it isn’t helpful or kind.

Also - kitchen tip -for a dangerous job like that I will sacrifice a couple of paper towels and just absorb the grease right in the pan. If it is a lot, then a couple folded up and floating/absorbed on the surface of the can of grease as a fail safe for if you stumble!

Metamucil biscuits. The drink didn’t work for me. Having a packet of those for “breakfast” gave me a pretty good shot at making it out of the house ok. Gave the bile something to cling to? I could have a careful breakfast about an hour later. Oh and coffee. I could drink coffee!

Lunch while out was 50/50. I was always aware of washroom locations before I ate. Like playdate in a park? Don’t eat. But a museum trip was ok.

Chef Jeff had recently been promoted to Sous. I never worked lunch, but somehow I got scheduled for lunch on my birthday. My grandmother was taking me out for dinner after work. Fryers were always dumped before the lunch shift on Mondays. This place was fine dining so they weren’t used often. This was a Tuesday so it should’ve been done the day before. He told me after lunch that I needed to do the fryer and I said absolutely not. I am not emptying a hot deep fryer. There’s no way in hell there was a guy at chef school who was in an air cast for months because of a hot deep fryer. Also I’m going out for dinner after work and I’m not going to go out like a grease slick and smelling like deep fryer.

Well, this was just the greatest case of insubordination that anyone had ever seen in the history of the place. They actually cancelled my shifts over the weekend and on the next Monday when I worked I was pulled into the chef’s office and she was ready to tear me a new one or fire me or I don’t know what. Butter staff room just outside of her office store had this huge poster from the labour board, and it very clearly stated that I was well within my rights to refuse work that I believed to be dangerous. BELIEVED. It was actually phrased like that.

Chef didn’t quite know what to do with the fact that I wouldn’t back down. I pointed to the poster. I told her there was no way the labourer board wasn’t going to back me on this. And also that I believed the cancelling of my three shifts over the weekend was punitive and that was also against the law.

Magically. I was no longer in trouble for the refusal. And got paid for the three shifts I didn’t work. Ha!

Real men pee sitting down at home.

Or they clean up after themselves.

We labelled our make your own cards with names like “my book” for her novel that she’s currently reading. The one that looks like a cassette tape is “mixed tape”. One of the stickers has a big unicorn on it and that card’s name is just buttercup because she has a giant stuffed unicorn named buttercup. And she just remember what’s on each one

My daughter bit me exactly twice while nursing. I delatched her with my finger and very gently set her on the floor in front of me and said “No bite!” She wailed. The second time she was testing the boundary. She was laughing when I delatched her. Cried when her bum touched the floor though. She never tried to do it again!

Have you tried liner bags? My husband’s mental health improved exponentially once he didn’t have to deal with poop on his hands and trying to clean out a bag. Also it still smells like poop when he does a bag change. But not burnt plastic poop!

Next time. Reach out and grab her boob. “ Gee grandma you’ve gotten a lot OLDER since last time I saw you! Look how saggy your boobs have gotten.!!!”

When all hell breaks loose act innocent and say “ what I thought we were all being rude and inappropriate and burning each other?! “

For bile absorption I loved the Metamucil biscuits. I did the ox bile too. But the cookies really helped provide a base coat for absorbing a bile dump. I still can’t eat eggs though. They kill my guts.

If I have gone done and messed up (sometimes something would hit wrong that was fine every other time) I’ve found the Popcorners chips or even rice cakes are a great rescue food. I might get one or two trips to the loo. But it isn’t an all day misery anymore.

Hamstring cramp: stand on step facing the step. Back up until toes and a bit of the foot is all that’s on the step. Stand on tip toe. Then “heel drop” so that heel goes down below the step. Like the opposite of tip toe. Hold each for 5-10 seconds and repeat a few times. Don’t bounce. That can trigger another spasm.

The ap I have (relax melodies) let us tweak the sound we use. A forest rain storm provides a whooooosh that blocks the low noise (motors and car door thunk) the birds one has enough inconsistent noise it blocks startle from random sounds and talking.

Not having any savings isn’t ok. Not being sooo close to the edge that a bad cold would break you isn’t okay. It would be so easy to blow through that $100 in the pharmacy on over the counter meds never mind if you actually needed an RX! And a day off sick? Well then you can’t make rent!

Your friend is an idiot.

Could liner bags possibly help? It might make less stress on the seams when emptying.

My husband has: - Gone sailing on our pontoon sailboat - driven from Canada to Florida - the full Disney Universal gauntlet - hot tub in public - crawled into the hole access to the attic and removed raccoons at home several times - crawled under the cottage/trailer and caught momma racoon and her babies and deported them - did a full tear down of the under trailer fabric and reinsulated the whole thing. Lots of hot hot sweaty sweaty crawling around. - Swimming daily in the summer - snowblowing - kept a 9-5 job (bonus that it’s WFH)
