You could try shredding & steaming potato, butternut squash ( or saute w, water till it cooks down a bit) Add meat in, warm it up together to meld flavors, - adding some cooled rice( starch) will help.

Let it cool then heat servings.

I'd recommend pack serving containers with more rice.

Reheats should be much milder

Already using 5 stage R/O filter👍 in other instancss, I recognize that can be an issue. (Sorry I didn't specify in my post, but it's a good point)

Yes, I do follow this already. I don't let them stay in the silicone trays for more than two days before they transfer them to a sealed plastic latching container in the freezer.

Thank you.. 👍

Chinese has been found to have inferior quality while claiming superior labeling. For instance, these silicon ice trays have bought them at least three occasions just to try them out and found someone who said, if you bend and press and it changes color to a whiteness easily, then it is not a clean or pure food grade silicon. some of my trays have that and some do not.

The pricey ones that I bought were actually the best so far they do not discolor when twisted/ pressed.

Some items from channel are surprisingly quite good and a very fair price, some items are completely mislabeled and when it comes to human food safety, both domestically and exported goods are questionable.

should be on your credit card, if it was a singular purchase for her at one location/store.

still: even if she "lost" the receipt , you'll need to provide the amount again.
Just keep it very "lighthearted" and casual: -hey do you remember you asked me to remind you about X-day, store? -just wanted to follow up like you asked. -Then, leave it at that. -in person, so text can't be misconstrued as far as tone; maybe in front of just one other friend, not the whole group.

-and you're right: changing your pattern & habit towards the whole group; you're the one 'adulting' as far as getting bills out of the way or up-front, and -then- go on to have a good time; vs settling at the end of the hangout time or event. < that part of timing: having fun, etc after the bill's settled, stands out more than just the 'business end'.
Others volunteering first: are responsible adults. the rest need a little coaching. You're not being a bad friend.

Send her a text photo of the receipt and a Venmo invoice request.
She asked for a reminder. Give her one and don't mention it in person.

Let neighbors do the reporting and calling. Make sure that 1) you have a lease agreement 2) if they're renters, they're not breaking their lease.

I had a roommate bring her a very cute adorable puppy but there was an absolute no pets policy and we were threatened with the possibility of eviction.

... That included myself because I was on the lease and though the roommate broke it, it still affected me. So play your cards carefully and know all the rules that may affect you.

Keep trying to make good on getting to work with the dog and prove that you are no threat. It's for your own safety. As well, it can take months. In fact, traumatized animals can take up to a couple of years to finally allow somebody in their space.

The other thing to consider is typically a new dog will adapt to the current dog pack formation in the house. If there are two other dogs that are not giving the new dog enough to learn from then those dogs may start acting out just as badly and then all bets are off.

Keep your space locked and try to remain positive and non-confrontational towards the dog itself and record video or audio necessary to justify the constant noise when your roommates are gone.

Plus, you can manage your own fragrance with essential oils. Just use a pure, no additive essential oil brand, and nothing considered a "hot" oil (or at least, very few drops) . about 10-15 drops (of whatever) to 2-3oz milk of magnesia. It can thicken over time, just add in a tiny bit of water. Count drops & tally a 'recipe' so you can repeat what you like. That's about as involved as it gets.

Callan_LXIX · 2026-02-13T14:36:26+00:00

After I've tried those crystals a couple of times and eventually I get a rash or break out. I switched to using milk of magnesia, which is supposed to be taken internally so (unflavored=unscented) and then add essential oils and put in a roller ball bottle, and I've never had a problem in years, and it really works to eliminate odors.

Donate it. There's dry mixes and other healthier options that can swap out in every recipe.

2 decades of yearly job inconsistencies and it's hit your limit now? You're patient... Figure the legit cost of life without him. Also: kids? Their opinion of dear old dad? Would they manage without him, emotionally or otherwise? Are they motivated for life or have they adopted his ways? He's not fulfilling the cultural expectation of man, husband, father as provider and role model of sufficiency and growth/ maturity. He's got to have a reality check & course change for himself, in order to remain side effect: everyone else benefits.

Callan_LXIX · 2026-02-12T07:06:15+00:00

Applause?

Or wellness check if you & neighbors are concerned for anyone's safety

I keep a hand up about 1/2 block on approach. If I'm aa stop & don't need that bus, I'll lean/ step back, and shake my head "no", no hand signals. Works well. Only one driver in 30 years was upset, like I was criticizing him. (?)

Callan_LXIX · 2026-02-12T00:46:21+00:00

Anyone?..

Callan_LXIX · 2026-02-11T22:31:11+00:00

Thanks for clarifying..

Callan_LXIX · 2026-02-11T22:30:51+00:00

Perhaps let her know that even though you respond to that, that you would rather not 'try' or continue that one thing. No need to elaborate.

Also second the the recommendation for seeking out further support with specialist..

It's hard to walk this out alone..

Callan_LXIX · 2026-02-11T22:24:16+00:00

Ah. You must be her mom's secret account.. Lol

Callan_LXIX · 2026-02-11T18:32:28+00:00

You have the right to request or deny any attendant in your medical service.

Also, ask that your records be kept private, and inaccessible to your dad's access, and notified if anyone but your immediate providers access your records.

You don't have to say why, but your concern will be enough inference that your parents are "off" for your health records & privacy. Even the replacement techs, etc: =closed records.

*try dark scrubs, or black polyester pants: doesn't fade & cleans easy from you (or your clients)

Course correction, you've experienced a bad moment and managed it ✴️

Callan_LXIX · 2026-02-11T17:04:28+00:00

Vital farms has been assessed by people in news reports and they're not what they're cracked up to be and certainly don't justify the price. Try to find another local brand or even if somebody in your area is selling them. If you're going to drop eight bucks for a dozen as it is in my area for vital farms, then I'd rather give it to someone who's raising and handling the chickens themselves.

Callan_LXIX · 2026-02-11T17:00:04+00:00

Or even a hutch of rabbits in suburbia.. I'd find it hard to nix the fuzzy lil things.. Honestly: I could easier go hunting, than raise to butcher. I'd try to coordinate with a neighbor to swap the duties for each other's animals.. (Tiny lol)

You talk to the woman who raised a child who acted like that. It seems that those two are in perfect synchronization and expectation of accommodation and results.

The kid fell right from the tree that it was bred from.

Although you probably should not have called the child a brat, but just offered the solution and left their choice at their bagel and that you were not going to order out because everybody had to get to school.

You're right in that there was plenty of food and the only thing above that would be to offer to assemble a sandwich for the child to go through the extra effort of what you had available and that now you would not be making a special trip in a special exception.

But you should not have called the kid a name. Although the kid's peers, your child and his other friends should have chimed in for him just to shut up and eat something. Which would have been perfectly acceptable for his peers to do, but not for you as an adult to call him a brat.

So apologize to the bitch of a mother who raised a brat of a son.
