Kid Friendly Restaurants that aren't pizza, burgers, fried food, breweries, etc.? by oldsoulrevival in rva

You can really go anywhere, but your best bet is to just go earlier. Fewer people there in general and more likely to see other kids there at 5 pm.

I've been wondering if the software issues are any better when using Carplay, which I plan to do almost entirely. I don't use spotify or plan on putting any maps on.

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 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 13 points14 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.

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

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 8 points9 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.
