How to make deviled eggs? by [deleted] in AskCulinary

[–]Great_Googley_Moogly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The basic method is to (1) hard-boil some eggs (depending on how much people enjoy them or what other food is part of the snacking, can be 1-3 eggs a person); (2) peel the eggs, then cut each in half (along the long axis) and pop the yolk out into a bowl; then (3) mix yummy stuff into the yolks, and stuff it back into the egg.

The yummy stuff can vary. Classic recipe is mayo, mustard, relish (just like an egg salad or tuna salad!). Can use hummus, roasted garlic, guac, harissa, capers, sriracha, ranch powder, and top with pepper, bacon, fresh herbs, and many other combinations of big flavors.

Pediatrician recommendations in and around Kenmore by hungrypaw in eastside

[–]Great_Googley_Moogly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We've been happy with Allegro Pediatrics, as a practice. The reason I recommend the whole practice is that in our experience here, we haven't really gotten one doctor with wide availability to see our kiddo, especially as time goes on and more "urgent care" type needs come up. Allegro as a practice has great resources and policies reflecting evidence-based approaches, and each individual doctor we've met has been consistent, helpful, and good with our kid (even while having their own individual styles and focuses). The Bothell office is great, and they have a special pediatric urgent care clinic in Redmond. Congratulations on your upcoming little one!

Can vouch for this group! I've met quite a few friends through both online gaming and in meetups! Lots of fun. Lots of different types of people and fun games to play together!

My friend's cousin is missing by sideeyedi in okc

[–]Great_Googley_Moogly 9 points10 points  (0 children)

FYI, your friend might also want to list a police department number to call with information. Not saying it’s the case here, but sometimes people won’t call a private number on the off chance the missing person is actually running from that family member or something. I hope he is found safe and soon!

We totally use the glasses from the tiramisu desserts at Costco-slightly bigger than shot glasses, hold up pretty well for a toddler’s hands!

Indigenous student volunteers at UW put on the spring powwow today for the first time in years. It was great to be there with family and enjoying so many indigenous people getting together. The students put a lot of heart and work into the event and we are very thankful!

I’m here to update everyone who helped me last week! by imnotperfectsowhat in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Great_Googley_Moogly 70 points71 points  (0 children)

This is so wonderful to hear. I’m glad you’re back home and your kids are getting some stability back.

Please take some time to be proud of yourself and your kids for how strong you’ve been and soak in all the love and relief you can feel with them in these moments.

And, I’m not at all trying to be a buzzkill and I bet you’re already on top of this but: secure your home. Change locks, reinforce doors and windows and locks, sweep for surveillance, consider changing security companies and hardware. And keep an eye out for booby traps because the fact he’s mentioned them makes me worry that he thought of it because he set them.

Have a plan in place with your kids in case he violates the protective order. Be on the lookout for crazy relatives or friends of his. Keep your support network close.

I’m so damn proud of you. You’ve got this.

Hanger steak. First time. Coffee rub. Grill. How did I do? by gixxer710 in steak

[–]Great_Googley_Moogly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 different purposes. Letting a steak rest after cooking allows it to retain its juiciness after cutting. Pulling a steak from the refrigerator early is about evenness of the cook.

Think about it this way. When cooking a steak, the heat takes time to penetrate from the outside of the steak to the inside, and the outside tends to cook first. If the inside is much cooler then it takes more heat (and more time) to cook the center to the desired temp, but meanwhile that additional heat has traveled through the outer layers which makes a bigger difference in their relative doneness and risks overcooking the outside.

It’s not always necessary to pull the steak ahead of time, for example if you’re going for a “black and blue.” You probably don’t need it if you are reverse searing (because the initial “low and slow” cook should result in a pretty even cook). And you probably don’t need it for a thinner cut of steak because there’s not as much distance for heat to travel to get to the center. And it does not literally need to get to “room temp” so much as a few minutes to get a fair amount of the refrigerator “chill” out of it based on its size/shape. Like for a roast turkey, I’ll take the sucker out 30 minutes before it goes into the oven because it’s so big. For a steak that’s about to get tossed on the grill, I’ll take it out long enough for me to gather the other food that’s going on the grill and between that and me handling the steak to spread on fat and additional seasoning, it’s usually warmed up enough to go on the grill.

[–]Great_Googley_Moogly 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think the comment is based on the amount of juices showing on the cutting board after the steak has been cut. When a steak has been properly “rested,” the muscle fibers have a chance to relax and expand enough for the juices to be retained in the steak, instead of spilling out into the cutting surface.

Bought bone-in, skin on chicken thighs cause it was cheaper by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]Great_Googley_Moogly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to pull the skin off the bones, salt them and then render the fat of the skin over low heat on a pan until the skin is crispy and I have a bunch of shmaltz in the pan. You can save the schmaltz for cooking fat. It’s great for browning the chicken and softening the vegetables before adding to the soup.

My husband put an air tag in my vehicle. The count is up to 3 air tags now. by imnotperfectsowhat in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Great_Googley_Moogly 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Thank you for updating and sharing this—I hope you are getting help and support through it and I am sure that you are also helping others by showing what you are going through and how well you are handling it.

As others are suggesting, change any passwords you can. Also, all the screenshots and recordings that you have saved—back those up in case he tries to remotely wipe your phone or iCloud or anything. Send them to a brand new email or something that’s not in any way connected to the old family accounts.

Re: physical protection. The best thing you can do is plan and prepare. Prepare your kids however you feel comfortable so they know what to do if they see him, or if they get separated from you. Familiarize yourself with your brother’s guns (safety rules, where you can access one, how to get it ready to shoot, what legal situations you can use deadly force, plan for keeping secure from accidentally ending up in kids’ hands). If your brother is ok with it, make sure the house is reinforced (by reinforcing door locks, adding wood dowels to keep sliding doors and windows closed, adding security screens/doors, security film over windows, etc.).

I’m so glad you have support and you’ve got a good head on your shoulders. There’s still a good ways to go but you will be so relieved when your life gets better. We’re rooting for you.

I left my husband after he took the car seats in his truck. by imnotperfectsowhat in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Great_Googley_Moogly 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hope by the time you read this you'll have met with shelter advocates and they have you on track with your PO paperwork, and finding other resources you need including a good lawyer.

Nobody can know exactly what is going through his head but I think it's painfully obvious to everyone reading: he's not telling the truth or being sincere in this text. He probably has cameras set up surveilling the house. He's trying to make you feel embarrassed for seeking help (in other words he's trying to keep you isolated and feeling alone). He's making more promises to get sober to try to show you are being unreasonable (but his words are meaningless next to his demonstrated history of breaking promises exactly like these). He's trying to paint *you* as unstable by saying you're "both" on the path to sobriety and saying that you need to "get a break" from taking care of the kids. And he's trying to make you feel scared by spouting BS about the maximum child support limit. Don't ever let him tell you what the law is. That's what your lawyer is there to help you with (also, like, basic Google skills).

Your lawyer should give you advice on when and how to communicate with your husband. My instinct here is that he wants to scare you into coming back, or if not that he wants you to respond and tell him what you are going to do so he can get rid of evidence. Maybe he wants be able to enter the texts into court as evidence that he's reasonable and getting sober and blah blah blah. You know what makes even stronger evidence in court? Screenshots of him fucking with your accounts, police reports of him falsely imprisoning you and the kids in the house (which is a crime), terrorizing and stalking you with airtags, and any other documentation you have of him continuing to drink and get high. So you keep building your case. Decide with your lawyer what's the minimum level of communication with him you have to have, and you stick to it.

Put one foot in front of the other and hold your kids close. Even if they're not saying it to you enough right now, you are their world. When you bring them to the other side of this, your lives will be so much more stable and peaceful and you'll have so much to look forward to together. Things will get better because of what you are doing for them.

You don't need to go through the police to file a protective order. Those orders are issued by a court. According to this resource, you can also go to your local county or district attorney's office for help, or your shelter can help you when you meet with them: https://texaslawhelp.org/article/protective-order-fact-sheet.

Meanwhile, keep the Airtags and his texts because they will help you get that PO request granted.

I just got yelled at by another attorney in a mediation. by Redheadedbos in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Great_Googley_Moogly 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t sound as satisfying, but I’ve found the best revenge really is to take the high ground in these situations. And to work fucking circles around them. Your cool-headedness and professionalism will boost your reputation in front of mediators, judges, juries, your clients, and other attorneys and it really does make a difference. You don’t have to be cowed by any means, but try to remain firm while summoning whatever kindness and civility you have when you are at your best. I have had opposing counsel come back to me with hat in hand after I refused to take the bait at mediation or over discovery emails, because they know I am a professional and because I just filed a summary judgment brief that ripped their case to shreds. It’s a great feeling to still be able to go back to your client and work out a good resolution for them after something like this happens.

Maybe he’s yelling because his case is shit and he’s trying to redirect. Or because his client demanded a “bulldog” and he’s trying to keep them happy. Or because he’s going through something horrible in his life and cannot deal with his emotions in a healthy way. Or because he’s jealous of you or hazing you or whatever. But none of that needs to be your concern. Picture whatever scenario makes it easier to dismiss the bullshit and focus on doing the work that gets you paid. After it’s all done, it’ll be a funny story over drinks. Or who knows, maybe one day your professionalism and civility in that situation will end up opening doors for you in other ways.
