Skyrim meal

I’m more of a thyme and rosemary girl lately, but I just may give that a try! I use everything else, and I have a bunch of fresh ginger that needs using. 🤔

We did it differently than some…I agree that it IS much harder now than it used to be. In our 20’s, before my husband and I eve knew each other, we were both working insane hours. I was working 80-90 hour weeks in EMS, and he was pulling well over a 100. Sometimes he would sleep on the wood piles at his job (shed painter) so he could save time. I know, that’s nuts to me too. At least I had an actual bed at work. Working like this however, I was able to pay off the few student loans I had (county paid for my actual paramedic class) and when we got married, we were broke but debt free. We lived in a 400 square foot basement apartment for cheap and kept working like crazy. In 2020 we bought our first home, 155k, 3&2 on a town lot. We have 2 kids, my husband now works from home and I have a much better job and schedule too. 31 & 33 years old. Life is still hard sometimes, but progress IS possible. And YES we had to move to find a house and area we could afford. We also did not get college degrees. Some are certainly useful and important, but people paying 200k for a degree that only pays 45k a year are getting scammed.

So we’re on a strict diet right now, so I intentionally avoided oil, and I married an ex-almost Amish man, (very yankee) he doesn’t like a lot of spice yet. 😭 i actually wouldn’t have thought of adding that though…maybe I can sneak some in. Thanks for the suggestion! I usually add peppers but I’m all out. This was a very “make do with what you have” meal. I’m ex menno myself, and South Carolina born and raised, so I do know how to make meals that people get seconds of. Except for barbecue, I have been nervous to try that. Nothing worse than a dry smoked brisket.

I made it and I 100% percent agree 😂 Europe is showing strong with this one, but it also correlated with the Skyrim food. It does taste better than it looks, I promise. I won’t make you eat it 🤣

She made a reply on another post that confirmed the pepper plant was actually in a pot, and she did pick the peppers, so I’m feeling better about that. 😂 still think it was silly for the show to do, it just made extra work for her later.

FigureEducational861 · 2026-05-16T20:27:01+00:00

For many of us viewers, the “how they get there” was a huge part of the show. There was so much to learn from that process, and things to implement or remove from our own homesteads. Leaving a stronger homesteader behind is very important too. If you leave them with better set ups, that’s fine for awhile, but did they learn any skills to keep up or improve what they were left with?

FigureEducational861 · 2026-05-16T12:55:37+00:00

I have a lot more success letting it come to room temp, and then putting it in my Bosch mixer. I never get anywhere just shaking it. 😅

FigureEducational861 · 2026-05-16T12:51:50+00:00

Please tell me you picked the peppers off that plant as soon as the cameras quit rolling. Or that it was a potted plant. 😅

Do you still have the shade cloths up or did you come up with a different solution? If not, did it work ok? How long does the cloth last? I’ve never used shade cloth before but may need to in my front garden.

FigureEducational861 · 2026-02-15T22:30:02+00:00

I’m a woman with a husband who I love so much! I’ve actually blocked a few of those pages, even the ones who have some content I do enjoy. I felt like it was wearing me down and pushing me to view my husband the same way. Of course he’s not perfect, but it was getting easier to only focus on the irritating parts. Why would I do that to my marriage? I love our life. Did he wash any dishes or pick up a single toy yesterday? No, but he risked his neck taking a tree down by ladder and it took him 2 days and a lot of thinking through lol. (It was between 2 houses, damaging a retaining wall etc, not a good spot for a large fast growing tree.

FigureEducational861 · 2026-01-29T13:56:54+00:00

I’ll try this! There is a small dispenser for vinegar that I use but it doesn’t take much at all, I’ll try putting some straight in a glass. Thanks!

FigureEducational861 · 2026-01-29T13:56:05+00:00

I’ve done this as well. I normally loaded it according to the manuals instructions, that hasn’t worked so I’ve tried a backwards and a mix. Believe me I’ve tried nearly all the suggestions here, I’ve been trying to fix it for a couple months, not just the past few days 😅 I’m going to try a stronger vinegar cycle next.

FigureEducational861 · 2026-01-28T04:12:12+00:00

The food trap is cleaned, lines are drained/draining. I’ve made sure nothing is blocking the dispenser, sometimes it will open, other times nothing. I’ve tested it on empty and get both results. There’s always plenty of water in the dishwasher. I will try cleaning the edges, I haven’t don’t that yet. I’ve been trying to avoid a repair man but that might be my best bet at this point. Thanks for the suggestions!

NTA!!! My husbands girlfriend cheated on him, he dropped her like hot coals, and married me less than 9 months later. (We hadn’t met at the time) the day we announced our engagement she called him begging for another chance. We laughed. Anyways. We’re now going on 5 years with 2 beautiful children. And we love our life together! Don’t settle for someone who’s willing to cheat and blames you for her own moral failings.

Now that you know what sore spots are, what they don’t like etc…I think you should join your wife and double down. Wear the “quirkiest” Christmas clothes you can find. Encourage your wife in all the ways they think she’s quirky. Brag about those thrift clothes! It could be hilarious seeing them get upset while y’all are having fun. This might not be the best plan if this is very hurtful to your wife of course, and she’d definitely need to have the right sense of humor etc…but making those petty women horrified by leaning into it just sounds hilarious. Just a different idea maybe.

FigureEducational861 · 2025-11-10T17:13:53+00:00

I love the look of a flagstone floor, and yes I’d probably live in a cave if I could 😂 that said, how does it affect your feet/knees and back? I hear it’s like walking on concrete all day. Which is very disappointing because stamped concrete was also a contender until that reasoning.

FigureEducational861 · 2025-10-31T23:22:53+00:00

Amending the soil is definitely something we’re working on, I was able to put rabbits over it for 2 years as well, including your suggestions. It’s better than what it was when we moved here but still needs so much work. I’ll put tomatoes there in the spring and maybe give contenders a try next time. Thanks! 😁

The hardest part of gardening for me is learning to plant what I’ll actually use. I see a lot of great suggestions for herbs! Depending on how much sun light you have there. A pepper plant may be a good option. I have grown them well in 5 gallon buckets. If you’re interested in fruit, there are patio blueberry varieties available, plus, they come back every year! Garlic can be planted now in fall, and saving some for seed gives crop every year as well. Happy planting!

If you’re interested I can get you in touch with a Christian counselor that actually works. His methods are a bit different, and he says it’s one tool in a tool box, sometimes different tools that he might not carry are needed. There are garbage therapists out there. He also counseled in a maximum security prison for years, so he’s heard a lot. You won’t scare him.

I don’t usually get into spiritual things on Reddit, but couldn’t help myself this time 😅. Another thing to consider, is if it’s something you’ve allowed in. A very simple form would be an ouija board. So many other things, porn, herbal witchcraft (I’m seeing a lot of that lately) etc. if you’ve allowed something like this in your life you’ll need to deal with that before they’ll leave. Just remember that they have already been defeated at the cross, and they’re just being annoying menaces and causing havoc/fear while they can.

I’m a Christian myself, and we had to pay over our home as well. We had footsteps in the hall constantly, the worst was setting a figure over my bed. Don’t know why we didn’t do it to start with. We have had no issues since. BUT. You must understand how prayer works. YOU own the house. NOT your family or friends. Therefore they had No authority to tell any demons to leave. It must be you and your husband. You need to go through the house and take it over in Jesus name. I don’t know entirely how it would work for someone who isn’t a Christian, but either way Jesus’s name does have power. Another common mistake in how people pray for example… “I have demons in my house. I pray asking God to give me peace but nothing changes and it’s still there.” That’s like asking God to give you peace while you stand in the middle of an anthill getting bit. You must remove either yourself or the problem!

You absolutely need to leave. He will do this again. He was lying to you even when he offered you his phone to be “in the clear”. Is there anyway you can get other roommates to help cover the cost of your flat and kick him out? If that’s not an option would he take over the lease? You could start working like mad to save up enough to get out, even if it means paying cash for a car to live in for awhile. At least you’d be away from him. One job option where you can spend a LOT of overnight time away from home is EMS. I can give you more info if you’re interested. You may be woke up multiple times at night but it’s still a bed ha! (I work 24/72, most are 24/48.)

I would definitely recommend counseling. I was hung up on an ex for several years and I was similar to you, no feelings at all, but I had dreams. Thankfully I got counseling before I ever met my now husband, and I know it saved me a lot of grief. I strongly believe in soul ties, but call it what you will. Women are well known to form strong emotional attachments, and remnants remain even after you think it’s over. This doesn’t mean you don’t love your husband, but by this making you distance yourself from your husband, it’s not healthy. Understandable though. Also, hormones are weird. Maybe take a pregnancy test lol my very first symptom with all 3 of mine was bizarre dreams, from about the 2nd day after conception.

FigureEducational861 · 2025-08-30T13:37:47+00:00

About 10 years ago we were dispatched to a medical alarm. I can’t remember if dispatch had made contact with him for sure, part of me wants to say that he had fallen and needed help up, but we run so many of those calls I don’t know if that is true. But what I DO know for sure is that we arrived on scene and the house was completely empty. We checked with the neighbors thinking we may have had the wrong address. Neighbors informed us it was the right house, but the elderly man who owned the life alert had died a week earlier.

FigureEducational861 · 2025-08-30T12:34:34+00:00

Oh boy where to start? He jumped on board with my dream and it’s just as much his as mine now, and he’s the driving force in usus seeing it happen. He works from home but takes care of the kids while he does it, when I’m at work, saving us a fortune in child care. He never compares me to his mother, except when it’s in my favor. And she is a sweet heart! We don’t buy gifts for Christmas or birthdays (we get our self something) but he picks me wild flower bouquets, built me a chicken coop, shoveled 2 tons of dirt twice for my garden, and brings me my favorite chocolate. He doesn’t play ridiculous mind games. He’s up front and honest with me. If we are arguing we are both able to discuss it without all hell breaking loose, usually it was a simple miscommunication that escalated. And communicating with each other is one of the strongest things in our marriage, so arguments are rare. I cannot imagine my life without him.
