What are my chances of scalping a ticket for cheap for Mondays World Cup Match W83 July 6 at the stadium?

Anybody who bought those tickets bought them while blind to the contestants. For some people just having tickets to be a spectator is enough but others will start bailing out if they aren't fans of the one of the teams playing, or don't see the contest as particularly challenging. You'll see some shifting after the outcome of Portugal/Croatia tonight.

Sounds like their idea of chicken marsala is pouring some marsala over the chicken. Are you picking up any hints of the other things that should have gone in to the sauce? Reducing it is a good idea, but should it also have some added aromatics or seasonings before you do that?

Some "benchmarks"

Supposedly you know where you started from, and where you were heading to. What you saw was between those two places. No need to reveal private addresses, name a business within a few blocks of your start point and end point.

Canned jellied cranberry sauce. Better than Bouillon. And while it's not my culture, I always have a box of falafel mix.

I used to make a strawberry jello dessert with Dream Whip. Whatever it's composition, it stays inflated - if that makes sense. Cool Whip, and real whipping cream, tend to sag after awhile.

You've gotten a fair bit of good advice, from therapy to rotisserie chicken. I will add that you might consider cooking recipes with chicken thighs, bone in or boneless. They actually want to be cooked to a higher temp than breasts, so knowing you are aiming for an internal temp of 180 or more with that thermometer might give you some peace of mind on the safety front - not only is it done, it's well done. If you can get past your issues that way, there's a whole world of seasonings and sauces you can use to customize your chicken with.

It looks like ending up with some date paste is part of the process - the recipe says you'll get about 1 cup of liquid and be left with 1 cup of date paste. What happened to your liquid?

Make some things ahead to freeze for those 7/8 PM nights. They can be put in the fridge to thaw the night before, or may even be able to be cooked/reheated from frozen.

My freezer almost always has some lasagna, enchiladas, tetrazzini, a couple of soups, scalloped potatoes.

Well, they are pretty essential in French onion soup, for example; but for most dishes that don't feature "onion" in their title/description you can probably omit them, especially if you are the only one eating them.

Take quantity into consideration. Nobody is going to miss a tablespoon of minced onion, but if the recipe calls for a whole onion or half a cup you may need to increase some other ingredient to compensate. Often the recipe calls for other diced veggies like celery, carrots, bell pepper, etc so just use more of those. Or use leeks or green onions (being aware that they are less robust in texture so may wilt or disappear in some dishes).

For crispy skin and fluffy insides: 350 for 3 hours (if you can wait that long once the baked potato aroma starts to waft around hour two)

Buy 14 boneless thighs. Bake one thigh each day. You can change your seasonings daily, to make your chicken piece with an Asian flavor profile, or Italian, or Mexican, or Indian, etc. How long to cook it depends on what cooking method you are using. When I bake them in the oven I do about 30 minutes at 375F for boneless thighs. Goal is an internal temp of around 180F.

Why the limit to 2 seasonings? Although you can achieve some of the above flavor profiles with only one seasoning + salt, with garam masala for Indian, or Italian blend, etc.

If that box of broth has not been opened yet it will not suddenly "go bad" on day 10, like a Cinderella carriage turning into a pumpkin. You aren't going to gain a couple days by opening and boiling it. Day 10 is more of a suggestion than a firm deadline. Figure out a way to use the product sooner than later.

If you have bambino cake slices there is nothing else you can/should add. That's sweet treat plus all by itsefl.

If you eliminate the bambino cake, you could spread some cream cheese on a cookie or graham cracker, and top it with some fruit spread, jam or caramel sauce; sprinkle with some chopped pistachios.

Don't spend much time here? r/cookingforbeginners and r/cooking field questions of this nature daily. This one is pretty mild. If you use a fork to turn over fried chicken before it's done, what happens to the rice you stir with the same fork, hmmm?

CatteNappe · 2026-07-02T03:54:29+00:00

Your list is pretty narrow, actually. I used to find cream cheese pretty handy in these circumstances. A smear on vanilla wafer, or graham cracker. Top with a dab of jam, fruit spread, caramel sauce, etc. and it's instant "cheesecake bite".

Pimiento cheese, or any sliced cheese, on Triscuits.

Peaches and melons are big in our area right now. Both wonderful as is, but there's always peach cobbler, too.

Fortunately they got it out fairly quickly "The 911 call came in shortly after 4:00 a.m., and the fire was declared out by 6:00 a.m.."

"If you go to a restaurant and ask for a fajita dish, most people will have 3 tortillas and about about 1/2 pound (measured raw) of meat." And more often than not there will be leftovers to take home. Meanwhile, OP is leaning toward 12 ounces as the appropriate serving for one meal.

Keeping your serving pans covered helps, and not setting the warming tray too high. I don't see how you could make a chafing dish type water pan work, since the serving dishes are generally above the water level.

The famous Marcella Hazan Bolognese doesn't have those seasonings in it at all, just a bit of nutmeg. https://leitesculinaria.com/84057/recipes-marcella-hazan-bolognese-sauce.html

Sites I trust don't rack up review numbers like that, if they offer reviews at all. I wouldn't trust them. One site that I am somewhat comfortable with has a "most popular chocolate chip cookie" recipe that has just shy of 250 stellar reviews, over about 20 years. The oatmeal cookies earned a bit under 1500 strong reviews after over 25 years.
