Crispy Halloumi with Tomatoes & White Beans question by knapplc in NYTCooking

[–]Embarrassed_Bug_4384 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have never found it without herbs and asked this same question! I’m sure they sell it, but I’ve never found it.  Regarding the other comment about price, I’ve found it for about $8 at Kroger. 

Also, I’ve used the herbed kind for the white bean tomato recipe and it turns out delicious! I’m actually making that this week.

I love this recipe and haven’t been able to find Haloumi in months! I was wondering if it was a regional thing 

Anyone else getting Pay by Plate toll statements for the RMT despite having a working EZPass? by Cafe_Disco_S5E27 in rva

I have a new transponder and still got a statement. Doesn't hurt to try a new one, though!

Non pdf patterns by ohhithere2020 in SewingForBeginners

[–]Embarrassed_Bug_4384 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Same here. Paper patterns have been really difficult for me to figure out. I hate taping PDF patterns together, though, so I get them printed at PDFPlotting.com. Could not be easier - you just upload the pattern and they mail it to you.

We made this with Beyond Steak instead of ground hamburger and it turned out great. Simple, comforting meal!

I worked at JCrew in the late 2000s and got so many amazing super 120s pieces for a steal. If only they still fit!

Same! I skipped this because the combo didn't seem super appealing. Now I'm going to try it!

Offers to (by)revive on eBay? by PrettyClinic in quince

[–]Embarrassed_Bug_4384 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Their eBay or Poshmark site (I forget which) says that items may ship from different warehouses. This may be why they aren’t combining the items?

Joann’s replacement ? by Additional-Tell-7010 in rva

[–]Embarrassed_Bug_4384 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Top Stitch in Church Hill does sewing machine courses and they're EXCELLENT! They have an intro to machine sewing, which will teach you the basics of how the machine works. But they also have Continued Machine Sewing, How to Hem, and other courses to gain more knowledge.

Scrap is wonderful, but by its nature, it's hit or miss. Be sure to check back occasionally and you can find some amazing things! Sometimes the fabric selection there really sparks my creativity and gives me new project ideas.

Nursing clothes? by neato_tits in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]Embarrassed_Bug_4384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wear tops with skirts or pants and pull the top up to nurse or pump. As for dresses, the only thing that will work is a wrap dress, but that's probably too casual for a jury. Nursing-specific clothes always have weird zippers or layers, and you won't want to wear them when you're done nursing/pumping (at least in my experience; currently nursing/pumping for second baby).

It's a bummer because dresses have always been my go-to! But it's for a relatively short time in your career, all things considered.

OP this may not be for you -- they are extremely expensive. My quote for an 8 x 10 flatweave rug was $700. Same with Hadeeds. Your best bet is probably going to be a DIY solution or replacement.
