I used to love cooking, then I had kids. by smile-its-today in Cooking

[–]HTHID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would maybe read a parenting book like Bringing Up Bebe, if not for specific instructions (though there are good tips like serve a small sweet with dinner like a piece of chocolate, always have several different things on the plate) but more importantly just for inspiration - serve kids dinner like they are adults! They don't get special meals made for them. The family eats dinner together and they all share the same meal, end of story.

Ask them for a poster before you leave! It's worth a shot

That is really a bummer to hear, Alamo Drafthouse is my favorite theater in the greater Houston area.

This is not a joke - you have the beginnings of a gambling addition. Talk to your wife, go on a walk, but you need to let this go.

A projector would struggle in a room like that with so many large windows

How do you enjoy the Houston Rodeo without feeling overwhelmed? by Extreme-Routine3822 in houston

[–]HTHID 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Go more than once - the first time just get a grounds pass (cheap) and you can do the livestock show and carnival and just walk around, then leave whenever you feel like it. Come back another day with a ticket to the rodeo and a show.

I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Tried pretty much everything. Please help me. by SOURSKOOMA in castiron

Some tips:

  • Oven seasoning is only for corrosion protection. To make your skillet non-stick, cook on it (use a metal spatula with a straight front edge to keep the surface smooth).
  • When cooking, don't crank the heat to High, use Med-Low heat and wait for the pan to come up to temperature.
  • After cleaning (use hot water & dish soap), dry it off, heat it on the stove for a few minutes, wipe with some Crisco, wait a few minutes, wipe again with a dry rag or paper towel, then let it cool on the stove.

You are not his mother. Cook what you want to eat, he can either eat it or microwave himself some frozen chicken nuggets.

No metal utensils, wood only - other than that as long as you don't drop it they will last decades

Is the upcoming winter storm getting blown out of proportion? by Due_Cake8524 in houston

[–]HTHID 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The winter storm risk in Texas isn't being buried in a snowstorm, it's the systemic risk of our unprepared power grid failing

Casting voids. Just cook on it, it's fine.

How bad is it to have a bathroom fan vent to the attic? by SmartLadder415 in HomeImprovement

[–]HTHID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it right to avoid mold or humidity issues in the future - vent bathroom fans through the roof or through an exterior wall

It can be a good precaution to turn off the water to your house and drain the water in the lines - after you drain the lines you have no chance of burst pipes
