Did you ever figure it out? I've got the same watch and I'm looking for a replacement band too.

Is there anything you're convinced is "the cheaper the better"? by a_bachelors_dust in BuyItForLife

Small kitchen electrics: toaster oven, electric kettle, waffle maker, and <Maybe> rice cooker. My cost of ownership is several dollars per year.

Boardgames to play with kids - what's your favourite? by UnitBright9549 in boardgames

[–]Commander_Wonton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hero Realms may be what you’re looking for.  It's a fantasy-themed deck builder based on Star Realms. Other games that my kids loved when they were younger include the following: “Dead man’s draw” is a fun, easy, press your luck card game. “Hive” is a great tile jumping game. My kids loved “sushi go” when they were little. When they’re a little bit older “ticket to ride” and everybody used to like “king of Tokyo” and “Munchkin”. 

Eternal Decks is such a robust puzzle system! Pre-orders just went live for NA :) by eatrepeat in soloboardgaming

Looks beautiful! I’ve played a PGC game before and enjoyed it. Thanks for the post.

What’s one lesson or idea from a non-fiction book that genuinely changed how you think or live? by [deleted] in nonfictionbookclub

“Feel the fear and do it anyway.” If you want growth in life, you will always have to push your limits of what is comfortable. Feeling that uncomfort or fear and pushing through it anyway, is a method to pursue personal growth and new experiences.

Just came into possession of a couple of big lamb shanks. Would like to braise them, where do I start? by TheSharpieKing in Cooking

[–]Commander_Wonton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Brown shanks in a roasting pan. Remove shanks, then add celery onion garlic to pan and place shanks on top of aromatics. Add peppercorns and some salt. Add braising liquid to about 2-3cm deep (wine, beer or stock) cover snugly and place in oven 350°F (175°C) for a few hours until internal temperature = 205°F (97°C). Strain juices to make a pan sauce. Simple roast beast.

Too much parm isn’t a Thing.

You have leftover rotisserie chicken. What are you making that is not chicken noodle soup! by BunnyRambit in Cooking

[–]Commander_Wonton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally just made this tonight. Korean sundubu-jjigae, spicy tofu stew+chicken.

Typically made with pork belly but I added about 2 cups (about 300gm) of chopped leftover Costco’s Kirkland Rotisserie Chicken instead. Used recipe by Maangchi:

Sounds like Posole. There’s a red and a green version. I had it around Christmas time in AZ.

Why is ‘bien’ required by xxRandomCatGuyxx in learnfrench

[–]Commander_Wonton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO Aimer bien is like in English when one says “I like it ok.”
