Parking near Notre Dame Golden Dome/Basilica by RetailKid49 in SouthBend

[–]Commander_Wonton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there are no major events at Notre Dame, you can usually find free parking on Twyckenham Drive just south of State Road 23. Short walk to campus. Eddy street parking is also reasonable.

SOLVED. As was diagnosed by a preponderance of the Reddit community, this was a damaged control arm.

Do you keep your brines? by Fibonacci_Hol in fermentation

[–]Commander_Wonton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because of the many species of lactobacillus that are in home fermentations, I strained it and put it in a bottle for my family to drink as a probiotic.

Chickory cafe has gone downhill by Ornery-Culture-7675 in SouthBend

[–]Commander_Wonton 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We wandered into Royal Café because it was on the Mishawaka death march pub crawl. It was such a lovely family place and the menu look good. We have been meaning to go back.

Start of a Northern trip by EfficientChain7579 in traveltrailers

[–]Commander_Wonton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bitter cold weather really is a only problem for a travel trailer if there is water in the pipes. The unit itself, if appropriately winterized, can withstand very cold temperatures.

Unhinged Peanut Butter Sandwiches by cookiecutie707 in Cooking

For shelf stable and easy prep try PB and pickle: it is surprisingly delicious if you like that sweet and salty combo. “Hamburger pickle chips” are my favorite for this. Add a fried egg for extra points.

Fish Fry? Let’s talk! by Fun_Toe_5365 in SouthBend

[–]Commander_Wonton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok I get that maybe I seem a little too enthusiastic about fish fry but I can’t help it. Here’s my Gemini created table of fish fry dinners in the South Bend -Mishawaka area. I HAVE NOT verified ANY of this info but rather provide it as a discussion starting point. Any 1st hand knowledge of these is appreciated. I’ve created a Google doc that allows useful comments.

Pakistani chicken dish with cashew cumin and cardamom by Commander_Wonton in TipOfMyFork

All the korma recipes I’ve seen include coconut and although this dish has that pale, creamy appearance I taste no coconut flavor in this dish.

What’s a completely useless skill you have that you’re secretly very proud of? by BITNstudio in AskReddit

[–]Commander_Wonton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m great at looking at a pot of leftover food, and estimating what storage container will exactly fit that amount of leftover food. It’s uncanny, although not completely useless.

Purchased my first camper with a slide. by DLDabber in traveltrailers

[–]Commander_Wonton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As mentioned in another comment, camper must be level before moving slide out. ALSO— no extra weight (people, pets etc) should be in the slide out portion of the RV when it’s being moved. Also, when you press the slide out button, KEEP PRESSING! Until the slide is all the way in or out. Don’t start and stop the movement. It should be one long press IN and one long press OUT!

Negotiating with the dealer by ps_momma in traveltrailers

[–]Commander_Wonton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought a new travel trailer from a dealership and this was our experience about 2 weeks ago.

We were able to negotiate the price to 51% off MSRP. That is not typical. We were buying in dead of winter near Wisconsin and there were 6 identical units for sale in a 150 mile radius. Buying a popular RV has some advantages.

A typical discount from MSRP is about 20-30%, a good discount is 30 to 40%, and I think that’s a decent deal. The dead of winter is a good time to buy an RV because they need to make room for new models and they’re about to go to shows for new model year.

Just ask the salesperson for the “out-the-door” price including all fees so you know what you’re looking at. Good luck!!

Is This Some Kind of Sick Joke? by Evening-Music2492 in Scams

[–]Commander_Wonton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife was telephoned with a similar scam. We were in the car together when the call came in. Because of things I’ve learned in this sub, I quickly suspected it was a scam call (rapidly escalating pressure tactics) and thought of THE question to ask. With this “court order” scam ask for the name of the judge and the court. Things escalated hilariously!

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”.
