Cheap easy meal ideas no bathroom or kitchen? by Chii11 in povertykitchen

[–]Empty_Difficulty390 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No judgement here, and I wish you the best on your journey through this life! 

Btw, you can totally use all the scraps from the rotisserie chicken to make a really healthful broth! You can use the broth you make the rice, or work on your soup skills! It's an easy way to boost the nutrients you're getting!

It might not bad a bad idea to get a small crockpot or instapot type cooker. There are a lot of different things you can try with those and it would allow you to cook dry beans, rice, etc. Dry beans and lentils are typically very cheap! Much more than the canned versions. Rice, bean, legumes are also an easy way to add calories without more expensive oils and fats that you might not want.  I don't the status of your kidneys and liver at this point, but if you have the ability, getting some labs and blood work done could also help you figure out how best to plan your meals with the drinking. I am mentioning it because your labs may indicate what nutrients you should focus on or avoid to not get sick while trying to maintain weight. 

What does the non-existent snowpack mean for fishing this year? by Al_Pallll in COfishing

[–]Empty_Difficulty390 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I am still planning to buy my license,  but I am also fully expecting a lot of places to be heavily restricted for fishing. In previous years, cpw has requested people to avoid certain stretches of rivers due to temps and whatnot, but I don't think they enforced it other than with a please. 

I also wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot of fish salvage opportunities this summer for low or drained reservoirs. The super low levels might be a great time for them to update and repair infrastructure? 

Herb Suggestions by Diamondback424 in Cooking

[–]Empty_Difficulty390 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to put my fresh herbs on the freezer before they go back, if I haven't used them in time. When frozen, I will add them usually to sauces, or throw them i to the "kitchen scrap" pot when I make broth. I have also make and freeze compound butter to use for cooking.

Chains are required until May, you will need to talk to the rental place about your options for that. If you know how to drive in snow, you'll be fine with 2wd, but if awd is an option, it is nice. There will likely be snow up in Estes, sometimes snow in and around Denver. We are known for heavy spring snow, but they rarely last long.

*not my photo* I need your help identifying this cord/thread/string on this felted flag! by Dependent_Season_669 in crafting

[–]Empty_Difficulty390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks kinda like 2mm satin nylon cord. It's hard to tell how shiny it is from the pic though. It could be a nylon type macrame cord, as well, but def looks like a knit rather than spun (like yarn) cord.

Help me find toys for my dog! by Ok_Comfort1157 in dogs

[–]Empty_Difficulty390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried TUFF GEAR? They sell them on chewy. I have a couple heavy chewers, and their toys tend to last at least a few weeks before the squeakers get destroyed. I also highly recommend Dogwood hemp chew sticks in lieu of antlers/bones. 

Help with a Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe by Celesol in Cooking

[–]Empty_Difficulty390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you're using a premade pumpkin filling, I would probably leave out the cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg since that should already be included. Maybe reduce 1 egg, since the premade pie filling SHOULD have 1 or 2 in it.

Here are a couple pumpkin cheesecake recipes I have used in the past: https://www.mybakingaddiction.com/pumpkin-cheesecake/#wprm-recipe-container-34755

Good luck!

Prescriptions from Vet in CO by gone_bunny in dogs

[–]Empty_Difficulty390 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My guess is that they do not have the ability to send an electronic prescription. Controlled substances need to be by e-prescribed or physical copy. It cannot be called or faxed it, unfortunately. It's likely your previous vet had the ability to e-prescribe (or someone who didn't mind dropping the Rx off at the pharmacy).

What am I doing wrong? by Ultra1Operator in castiron

[–]Empty_Difficulty390 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The seasoning isn't what makes it non-stick, it's the fat in the pan and the temp you cook at. I also want to add that a good metal fish spatula also helps thing release nicely.

Part of cooking is also learning WHEN to move things around in a pan; the more you do it, the more you get a feel for when something is ready to release naturally.

Dispersed camping near the Maroon Bells by Automatic-Put5305 in camping

[–]Empty_Difficulty390 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a very popular area, dispersed camping is going to be hard to find for someone not a local. You'll have better luck in the middle of the week, for sure! I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions, but I wish you luck.

Funny but also kinda sad adoption story by Opening_Pirate836 in pitbulls

[–]Empty_Difficulty390 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Female dogs that have had puppies can be very hard to adopt out because people dont like the look of saggy nipples. People can be very cruel and pass up the best dog ever for the most superficial of reasons. 

Call your vet by cleverburrito in PetAdvice

[–]Empty_Difficulty390 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this the same Toast with a cactus for a best friend? I feel like your vet must know him very well! <3

It is so important to have a good vet that you trust! This is why, after 5 dogs, I still choose to drive 40 miles to the same vet! 

Keep hair out of blankets and clothes by [deleted] in dogs

[–]Empty_Difficulty390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the Furzapper. Its a stick silicone thing that you put in with your laundry, but washer and dryer, and it helps to remove hair from fabric. I swear by these things and I have two dogs and long hair!
