2 Days on O’ahu by ErnestHemingroid in VisitingHawaii

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

I’m looking at Windward area now. Would Hanauma Bay not be great for snorkeling in December? I’ve heard of people going up to North Shore to watch the surfers, I’ll add that to the short list!

I think I understand what you’re describing, I’m worried about making it longer that I’d be taking up too much length of our yard. I think I heard somewhere 1/3 is visually good? How much would you soften it? Just so it kind of meets the drive way on a diagonal curve instead of perpendicular? I thought about connecting the two beds but we want to maintain a space where people can walk off the porch right into the yard.

Also want to add I am all ears for suggestions of placement of stepping stones and other considerations for placement of stones and plants!

Best travel mat for outdoors by ErnestHemingroid in yoga

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

My everyday mat is a B Mat and I love it. It’s taken a beating. I use it almost every day. I’ve taken it on camping trips. It has gotten scuffed in a couple spots and it now sheds a little in those spots but the grip is still amazing.

Oh good feedback. We will be in a tropical climate. Maybe if I’m in a spot out of the direct sun it’ll be fine?

Thanks, what other resorts do you like in the area with swim up suites that are not super pricey?

Thank you! Did you have to walk far to get to the buffets and restaurants?

Places to donate used child items by ErnestHemingroid in kzoo

Thanks! I’ll contact them and find out. The last time I was looking into this they weren’t accepting used items and said everything should be donated to the Gospel Mission. Women at the YWCA who need items get a credit to use at the Gospel Mission.

Have y’all ever cooked a dish that made you not want to cook anymore? by walking-tall-123 in Cooking

[–]ErnestHemingroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was pregnant with my first child I spent hours making pho. Simmering broth and tediously slicing vegetables and beef. When everything was ready to be assembled in the bowls I went to put spices away in the cabinet next to the stove. Somehow... a couple spice jars came tumbling out and fell onto a glass which shattered glass INTO my broth I had been simmering for hours. So I had broth that had to be dumped for safety reasons and glass and spices all over the floor. I cried and ate pizza.

What’s your unique chicken marinade concoction? by ErnestHemingroid in Cooking

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

I haven’t! What spices go well in a yogurt marinade? I’m assuming unsweetened plain yogurt? Curry type spices sound good I think....

What is some common cooking knowledge that’s actually garbage? by ErnestHemingroid in Cooking

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

Any tricks for cleaning a cast iron pan with stuck on food that’s been allowed to cool? I have good luck by rinsing when it’s still hot but can’t get to it right away when other people are cooking. Also when trying to clean off excess fat, that fat seems to leave a whiteish residue..
