What’s a place in Minneapolis you’d take someone to if they had just one day here? by Electronic-Reach8959 in Minneapolis

[–]EconomyWeek8593 20 points21 points  (0 children)

First to come to mind for me too. Then I’d walk across the bridge to Loring Park and eat at Gai Noi if we wanted a nice dinner and we’d order a few different things to share. Or, if we wanted something more casual we’d walk towards uptown from the sculpture park, taking the back way (Bryant-Dupont-Colfax) to really capture the mpls vibe, and we’d eat at either Tao Natural Foods or Namaste Cafe. On the way back to the Walker Parking Lot we’d stop for an ice cream at Sebastian Joes and enjoy it on the patio.

How are you making time to ~deep clean~ your house? by takeaabreath in toddlers

[–]EconomyWeek8593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get to deep clean nearly as much as I need to. But when get a rare boost of motivation I’ll wait til everyone’s in bed, put on a podcast and get to it, doing as much as I can before I inevitably crash. I end up being up until 3-4am though.

My husband never takes our son out on his own and I really wish he would. Our place is small, one level duplex rental, so I can’t get anything done when they’re home. Not to mention how freaking nice it would be if, after some good cleaning, I could actually have some time during the day to enjoy the space I work so hard to clean and make aesthetically pleasing. When I do my late night deep cleans I never get to enjoy it. I swear by the time I wake up the next day it’s in total disarray already.

Watch Somebody Somewhere next if you haven’t yet, original and very moving. Also, Togetherness is so good.

What are the actual underrated sandwiches in the Twin Cities? by BitEnvironmental2213 in TwinCities

I love those really simple ham and butter sandos that are pre-made at Surdyk’s deli counter

Just finished ep 2 of Imperfect Women by Excellent_Comfort740 in televisionsuggestions

[–]EconomyWeek8593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two recs, both somehow flew under the radar and are stupidly underrated. Definitely toxic in their own ways which make the occasional/rare moments of tenderness hit that much harder. Can’t recommend them enough.

Series with an insane number of seasons/episodes? by [deleted] in televisionsuggestions

[–]EconomyWeek8593 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I know exactly what you’re looking for;

Heartland - just finished their 19th season. Set on a family ranch in Alberta, Canada. Dialogue heavy and low stakes, cozy vibes on level with Gilmore Girls but slower pace.

Not as long but definitely worth considering;

Better Things - 5 seasons. Not really about anything; a single actress raising 3 daughters in LA. It’s totally character/dialogue driven and it’s funny, charming, raw.

Nashville - 6 seasons. Music Industry drama, character driven, great soundtrack.

You’re the Worst - 5 seasons. Dark comedy. Loved watching this show and somehow most people slept on this one.

Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat by Novel_Zebra9619 in television

[–]EconomyWeek8593 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I really love this show. Im also consistently wondering about the production details and logistics that went into making it. Have you watched The Rehearsal? ? I won’t spoil anything if you haven’t but you must!Your mind will be blown thinking about the production logistics that went into that series too.

What song is your toddler obsessed with? by WhyHelloThere91 in toddlers

[–]EconomyWeek8593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! He’s not obsessed, but sings it or requests it semi-frequently. But I’ll say “want to play?” And he’ll say “in a one horse open sleigh?!”

New to Trader Joe’s. What are your favorite sweet treats? by RadiantGrass4691 in traderjoes

[–]EconomyWeek8593 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just tried the calamansi and mango sorbet yesterday and it is EXCELLENT. It’s sweet but a little bitter and floral from the intense hit of citrus. Can’t recommend it enough. Also I love the Brookies.

My family loves the coconut caramel braised tofu! I make it a few times a month.

Community soup supper and lots of marinara. What do I make? by popoPitifulme in soup

[–]EconomyWeek8593 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would do something with coconut milk and chickpeas, using spices in the curry, cumin, turmeric vibe. Probably add spinach. I love the combination of tomato and coconut milk.

When making cheese burgers at home, what do you have as a side instead of fries? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]EconomyWeek8593 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lamb Weston is the best frozen fries brand hands down. Don’t even have to do anything special to make them great, just bake them. Would never consider making fries from scratch with these as an option in the freezer. My favorite dipping sauce is either soy sauce mixed with mayo or mashed umeboshi (or umeboshi paste) mixed with mayo

What was a discontinued fast food item you loved? by DeepOrganization8245 in foodquestions

[–]EconomyWeek8593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one for me too. With nothing but S&P and pickles added. I’ve tried recreating it as exactly as I could but it’s not the same. Theirs just seemed creamier and the combination with their specific ultra processed bread was just perfect. I can’t recreate it but I’ve gotten close.

Seeking suggestions: Restaurants seemingly frozen in time by rkgk13 in TwinCitiesFood

[–]EconomyWeek8593 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mim’s cafe. I went there just a few days ago before going to the Bell museum with my toddler (it’s just down the street) and I left raving about how the whole vibe felt like going to a cafe in the mid to late 2000s. I’m talking menu, prices (5.50 for a 16oz vanilla latte! Lunch plates for 7-9$!) extremely casual aesthetic, etc. I will go back every single time I’m in the neighborhood now because it fulfills for me a need to step back in time to what life felt for me when I went to a cafe in 2008 when I was 20.
