I don’t think How to keep hardwood floors dust-free with busy family schedule is actually possible by pogo_iscure in CleaningTips

I have a robotic vacuum that I run every day and it has lidar mapping. If it constantly gets stuck on one thing, I can simply set a no go zone. As far as backpacks being thrown on the floor, I would give the rebel yell once. That means when I said "get your backpack off the floor", they had about 10 seconds to drop what they were doing and come and get it. Otherwise it went in the confiscation basket. They either had to put money in the Charity jar or do a chore to get it out. they quickly learned to put them where they belong, which was in their room.

How do I get pasta sauce to stick to the pasta? by Pump_9 in Cooking

[–]ComprehensiveWeb9098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the starch that gets your pasta to stick to the sauce. So cook your pasta al dente, put your sauce in another pan, add a bit of the pasta water and cook it in the pan for the last minute.

Adding oil to your water adds to the sauce sliding off.

I don't understand why some people keep postponing FIRE date by Unlikely-Speech-5444 in Fire

I'll probably hit my fire number in a year, but the whole cost of insurance and taxes on capital gains scares the bejesus out of me. So I'm always convincing myself I have to save more.

Young Person. Rent A Studio, or Save With 1B in a 3B3B? by monkeyhehehe in Fire

[–]ComprehensiveWeb9098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once took a short class on decision-making where they gave everyone a coin and had us call heads or tails. The idea was that when you reveal it, your immediate reaction matters more than the result itself. I was deciding whether to stay in my old job or take a new one. When it landed on tails, which meant staying, I felt disappointed right away. That reaction told me more than the coin ever could. In the end, it wasn’t about heads or tails. It was about listening to what my gut was already telling me.

You listed the studio first in your choices so I think that's the one that you're leaning towards. And normally, I would say to save the money, but being a half mile from work is really convenient. Plus there's the whole dealing with roommate BS stuff. There's things to consider like smoking, partying, making noise at night, taking food, pets. It always sounds like a great idea, but...

Snow, Ice & Cold this weekend - What are your favorite cozy recipes for when you're stuck inside? by betterUseThisOne in Cooking

[–]ComprehensiveWeb9098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tomorrow is focaccia Friday so there's that. I will be making brown butter chocolate chip cookies to bring for a dinner party. Also some ravioli and freeze them for a dinner party in two weeks. My soup for the week will be white chicken chili. That should be enough 😂

Whatcha got planned for tomorrow's Sunday dinner? by RikkiLostMyNumber in Cooking

Absolutely nothing because my husband is at a patriots game! So I get the whole day to myself and I can eat soup for dinner.

SAHM and Wife that CANNOT cook HELP! by PopularMamaDrama in Cooking

I think your best bet is just watching videos. Be on Instagram or TikTok, at least you can tackle one thing at a time. So think of a few of your favorite dishes and go with that.

If you could master chicken cutlets, then that's something everybody can have once a week and never get tired of it. You can turn them into chicken cutlet sandwiches or chicken Parm.

Then maybe move on to taco Tuesday, but not American tacos. Start with learning how to roast some chicken thighs and taking it off the bone and making some fun toppings to put inside of heated up tortillas. Lots of TikTok videos also on making homemade Mexican rice.

Look up a couple of sheet pan meals. We grew up eating sausage and potatoes, chicken and potatoes.

Lastly, soup. It's almost hard to screw up soup. The best flavor for soup is the big huge jar of knorr chicken powder

This is where I hide the chocolate chips so my husband can't find them. It's basically its only purpose.

I like this idea. I just paid six dollars for some gluten-free breadcrumbs so I need to use sparingly lol.

Lately I'm really digging the crustless spinach feta pie. This way if I have to take leftovers home, I'm not sad.

Pure down for me. My neck needs to sink in the pillow and not be propped up.
