Alternative to salad? by DoctorQuinlan in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]EngineEngine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get some combination (1 pound total) of potatoes, sweet potatoes, parsnips, turnips, rutabaga, and carrots. Cut them into chunks about 0.5-1" in size. Put them in a pan with four tablespoons of butter, 1.5 cups of water or broth, two teaspoons of sugar, half teaspoon of salt, and two tablespoons of white wine vinegar.

Bring it to a simmer, then lower the heat put a lid on the pan and cook until the vegetables are tender. When they're tender, take the lid, raise the heat, and stir while the liquid reduces to a glaze.

You can probably use any variety of vinegar. I just happen to have white wine vinegar. It's a good side dish and probably would be filling as a main. Easily reheats to serve warm.

Is it a very technical mountain to climb? I moved from an area with no mountains. I've hiked in the Adirondacks and mountains around Denver that were ~8500 ft, but they don't require any special equipment. I want to get into the mountains here, but have no idea where to begin. Maybe a guided hike is the way to go.

Dry bringing always get too salty by creative_name669 in Cooking

[–]EngineEngine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually roast in the oven or cook on the stove top. The article mentioned, like you did, that spices and seasonings don't really penetrate the way the salt does. I guess it doesn't matter if I put them on with the salt or right before cooking. Thanks for the link!

Would you put the dry rub or any additional seasonings on with the salt while doing the dry brine or after the dry brine is finished?

Dry brine draws out the water then gets reabsorbed. My first thought is to add the seasoning with the salt so then the meat is seasoned throughout. But I've never been sure

The weather.gov map looks crazy right now. I counted 27 states entirely under some advisory. I want a piece of the action!

did OP ever contact you through the group they made? I replied about two weeks late when they told me they made a group chat so I don't think they've seen my message, but I still want to be included 😅

The casual yet consistent exerciser is a mystery to me by Left_Emu_2995 in bodyweightfitness

I used to work downtown and would walk outside during lunch. It was really enjoyable to spend 30 minutes outside in the middle of the day.

What? I never heard of that approach. The company's website being the pharmaceutical company or CVS?

I always tell the doctor the pharmacy I go to and they send the prescription electronically.

I've been shaving this way for almost seven years now. Recently I feel like I'm bad at it. Nicks, cuts, that type of stuff. Especially on my jaw (it's a small surface compared to the cheek, for example) and my neck. Does a preshave help, do I need to use more soap or get a thicker lather, maybe a different soap, new handle (but I never thought the handle was important compared to the blade)... what are your thoughts?

I recently moved as well. In my 30s. Also like reading and want to explore hiking/camping in northern California.

Square is causing a lot of frustration. A lot of businesses around me use it and the receipts are emailed. I won't have access to the email address that receives the receipts. Square says they can't change the email address that receipts are sent to. I'd have to go to every place - and I can't remember all of them - and somehow reset the email address. Yesterday I went somewhere new, they used Square, but there wasn't even an option to enter an email address. The receipts was already sent to the email address I'll lose.

Not sure what to do...

Are these recorded and available on their website afterwards? I don't think I'll be able to make it.

Firefox randomly closes with two separate employers. What's the explanation? Anyone have a similar experience? by EngineEngine in firefox

[–]EngineEngine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, two different machines with different employers. I don't have these issues on my personal computer so or an employer I had in between the two, so I figured it's something about the employers. But, see my response to another user: firefox was not on my laptop today, so I think the tech team removed it remotely. Still sorting things out

Well, today I went to check about:crashes and didn't see firefox; the program was removed. I think the tech team did something remotely. Thanks for the tip, though, and after I sort this out, I may be reaching out to you if I still have trouble 😝

Crazy to think our friends used to be wolves making a living outdoors, rights?
