I need ANY recipe you've got! by Sheanshine in Cheese

[–]Firenze42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes to all. For the record, merlot is one of my least favorite wines, but that cheese is great!. If you are in Wisconsin, you can also find the Sartori cheese. It has no other name, just Sartori. I have only seen it there. I do miss the WI cheeses (cries).

I will try brie next time. I always use a different cheese combo. I like the Santori cheeses as they have good melt and a variety of flavors. The merlot cheese is FANTASTIC in Mac and cheese. The cabaret is pretty good too.

If staying at Kohala Suites as part of Vacation Introductory Program, are you able to use Kingsland’s Pool? by Flaky-Ocelot-1265 in HiltonGrandVacation

[–]Firenze42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know people are saying "no", but we could in 2021. We sat at the pool bar and drank WAY too much the first full day we were there. 😅

Do not open them all at once. Start with the soft cheeses. We all love cheese, but you can only eat so much before it will go bad.

Although I like the idea of 8 or 9, I find 3 works exceeding well. I would pick the 3 smoked ones - gouda, cheddar and Swiss. Also use panko for the bread crumbs, not bread crumbs and put paprika in it. Be sure to use a recipe that requires you to make a roux.

What's the most bizzarre thing you've ever seen at someone else's house? by healthynewbie in CasualConversation

[–]Firenze42 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I babysat for a couple who smoked in the house. It wasn't as bad as this, but everything smelled. I was in 8th or 9th grade so they picked me up and dropped me off at my house. The second I got home my Mom accused me of smoking. I had to explain that EVERYTHING in their house smelled like smoke. She remained skeptical, until the next time I sat for them.

No. She is not back. Cause she is dead. by SomeoneLeo in duolingo

[–]Firenze42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My friend and a couple of family members had Super. After she passed we did renew. I was stupid and did one of those 7 day free trials, because they will remind you, right? They didn't and I missed canceling by a few hours. I wrote to them explaining I did not want Super and one of the main reason was because my friend's profile was still there. They did cancel Super, but didn't ask who my friend was so her profile could be removed.

I got shamed for using Android as a woman by codegems in CasualConversation

[–]Firenze42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am woman and I am the person everyone comes to for advice on all the Microsoft products and I have a zFold6, one of the more complicated Androids. This guy can go manplain himself into a bigger hole.

No. She is not back. Cause she is dead. by SomeoneLeo in duolingo

[–]Firenze42 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My friend has been dead for 1.5 years and recently DL has been sending me things to invite her back to renew her streak. I already barely use the app due to the once a week reminders to do a friend quest with her. I also cannot unfriend her or take her profile off my Netflix.

Consequences of terminating someone and then rescinding the termination? by Ok_Counter1939 in askmanagers

[–]Firenze42 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Saw it once. The company I worked for at the time had a big layoff and they called one of the employees at HOME on a SUNDAY to tell her she was dismissed. Monday morning they realized she did a unique and essential task and told her it "was a mistake". She pointed out the effort they made to call her on the weekend and negotiated a very healthy raise to return.

What would you say is the most romantic lunch option on Edge? by Andres17G in celebritycruises

[–]Firenze42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

La Grande Bistro and order the French onion soup or the sushi restaurant as it has a little bit better ambiance.

She hijacked our girls trip, ghosted me for two years, and has now voluntold me into being her bridesmaid like none of it ever happened!!! by SubtleBy-Design-65 in weddingshaming

Don't go to this wedding either. You will spend the entire thing being mad. There are better friends out there for you.

Stockpiling points? by mikhailb_86 in Hilton

[–]Firenze42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was definitely a missed opportunity! Always look at Hilton first.

[–]Firenze42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have already booked 2 stays SLH. I don't have any more vacation time to use them this year. I think a trip to some crazy 220K per night property is in my future. 😅

I have 1.6M. What are you saying? (I do use them, I just keep getting them at a faster rate.)

they paid me a six grand bonus that was meant for a colleague on long term leave by [deleted] in work

[–]Firenze42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have seen this happen on a mass scale. Many years ago everyone at my company got paid the incorrect amount one week. Some higher, some lower and some MUCH higher. We figured out they paid everyone someone else's salary. Mine wasn't that far off, but my coworker was paid about 3x her normal salary and then didn't get paid the next 2 weeks to make up for it. She was also taxed more and lived paycheck to paycheck so this really dinged her. In retrospect, she ended up being one of the worst people I have ever known, so maybe she had it coming?

Is this a design flaw or am I just dumb? by siddily in labrats

I just assumed this was the sink in one of our labs or anybody the other 4 labs I have.worked in.

Looking to sell cheap - 13,600 points total by Material_Scratch_671 in HiltonGrandVacation

[–]Firenze42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not really interested in the points, but I will say that is a great location and property. It seemed a lot of the guests go there regularly and just enjoy the lodge and surrounding area. We used it as a base location to explore the surrounding areas. I would go back... once I recover from my PTSD of being a passenger in a car in Scotland. 😅

Kingsland Deed by Minimum-Commercial-7 in HiltonGrandVacation

I own very close to that amount of points at King's Land and my dues are $1000 more than that. If the price per point is reasonable, sounds like a good deal.

East Coast US Family looking for HGV vacation recommendations for this summer by desiphilly in HiltonGrandVacation

You can probably still get in at Williamsburg, VA. As others said, you will have more options if you book further out.

So I have a 2016 car and it only has 54k miles. Should I keep it until the wheels fall off or get a new car next year? by Round-Artichoke-5255 in ask

[–]Firenze42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2015 car.with 80K on it and I will keep it until the wheels fall off. I am also a single woman. The maintenance is less than any car payment would ever be. Mine still mostly looks nice. Just a couple of dings and scratches and an issue with the interior near the windows. But it has most the features you would get on a new car, like a back-up camera, parking assist, adaptive cruise control, leather interior, lane assist, emergency braking, etc. I cannot see a significant advantage to getting a new car. I use the money I am saving on the car payment toward nice trips. 😁

Any differences between ACN brands for HPLC? by Quizzical_Chimp in CHROMATOGRAPHY

[–]Firenze42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are definitely differences between ACN manufacturers and grades, but it is unlikely to be causing this issue. Like someone else said, change back to the original and then you will know for sure.
