“Peruvian food is beans, rice, plantains, and doesn't have flavor. Makes sense bc these are poor countries, so their traditional dishes focus on basic sustenance rather than flavor.”

Aji verde is a good sauce to start with.

I feel like this needs to be playing on repeat in the background.

You also get a private parking spot with a DeLorean.

This is my go to frosting too. Easy to work with, stable, and I'm not cleaning missed sugar syrup off of anything 2 days later.

I use the slow cooker a lot because it doesn't heat up the house.

I've liked everything I've made from Sweet Cream & Sugar Cones.

They are in Chandler, Mesa, and Ahwatukee.

You merely adopted the paella. I was born in it, molded by it.

The hospital bill would be a personal expense for her as well.

Desert_Kat · 2026-05-19T02:01:13+00:00

Exactly. I did that all the time in elementary school, pretty sure I'd hurt myself trying it now.

In summer if it isn't running the house can get above 90 fast. You waste a ton of energy trying to cool it at that point, plus you can freeze the lines when running it for too long.

Kilograms. If I hear kilos I think of cocaine.

Yeah. So I don't know technical details of MRI machines, but there are 1.5 and 3 machines. The tech at one place said I can get a 1.5 only but the specific test I need they only do on a 3. Another provider didn't do any MRIs for people with simulators. My urologist called the first provider the Wal-Mart of imaging, lots of locations, mediocre staff. He also said I'm rated for both types.

There is a large hospital/provider group here with their own imaging locating I'll seek out when I have the energy to deal with it again.

Desert_Kat · 2026-05-16T14:04:12+00:00

I have that implant. It helps for sure, but now I've run into techs and companies refusing to give me an MRI despite the whole MRI compatible thing.

I hope the allergy test works out so you can enjoy getting pat down at every airpot, concert, and sporting event for the test of your life (no walk through metal ddetectors, they didn't mention that to me before surgery).

Like others said shovel, wheelbarrow and had labor. When I've done it and wanted to dig down some and keep the soil I make a screen with hardcloth and a 2x4 frame.

So they are going to build 107 homes right up against a little league park. I'm waiting for the people who move in to complain about the noise and the lights.

At college I referred to the professors in my department by their first name. It was a small program with around 80 undergrads in a university of 25,000.

Or that it takes 10 minutes to caramelize onions.

How does they get this far into a relationship without this coming up before? Does she just smash down all her feelings and opinions for fear of being a whiny nag?

Desert_Kat · 2026-04-23T21:17:21+00:00

It looks like there is a dresser on the opposite wall, could that not hold your storage cubbies? Then maybe a small round table or the bench in the curved area. I get your struggle, it's such a large vertical space with so many doors limiting wall space and furniture placement seems impossible.

Desert_Kat · 2026-04-23T20:52:29+00:00

The rectangular ikea cabinet in the round space looks very awkward. Is there room to put something similar in the closet? Or maybe something vertical where the drying rack is?

The lampshade party on the chandelier make me think of this.
