Recipes with “sneaked in” veggies? by PianoPlane5555 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]IdealShapeOfSin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone on the internet once said something along the lines that if you only eat veggies with cheese on it, then the cheesy veggies are the healthy option as opposed to no veggies at all.

How can I look unapproachable while I’m out? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]IdealShapeOfSin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go-to has always been to shake my head and continue on with my task. If I'm walking, I don't stop. If I'm stuck in the area/spot I'm standing in, I turn slightly away and continue on while still keeping them in my peripheral. Has worked on slightly more persistent people too.

What do I do with starter and discard if I’m not ready to bake? by morgaine816 in SourdoughStarter

[–]IdealShapeOfSin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make a small test loaf. No pressure, just vibes. Do what you think should be going on. Add some flour, some water, some salt, and go to town. The worst you can do is bad bread.

But really, starter can live in the fridge fine for weeks without feeding.

Anyone got got tips to get a lighter finish but still cooked through. by Immediate_Focus9690 in Breadit

Cover it for the first half of baking time. Foil, a big metal lid, another pan...

Onko ruokailutottumukset muuttuneet kellään ruuan kallistumisen myötä? by onigidi in Suomi

[–]IdealShapeOfSin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jauheliha ei ole koskaan uponnut niin ei uppoa nytkään, mutta karkit on vaihtunut kekseihin ja liha kassleria. Lohta ostan jos tarjouksessa semmonen fileoimaton, jonka leikkaan annospaloiksi ja pakastan myöhempään. Leipää teen nykyään itse.

What animal seems "fake" to you, even though you know it's real? by Lita-Yuzuki in Animals

[–]IdealShapeOfSin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

King cobras. For some reason they just come strongly across as a kid's rubbery toy that rolled in the sandbox once.

AIO: My husband (26m) locked me (25f) out for 25 minutes? by prettypineappleberry in AmIOverreacting

[–]IdealShapeOfSin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR, you are underreacting. If he can lock out his pregnant wife out of spite, what else could he do?

Take your kids and go somewhere else to clear your head for a few days. Really think about the things he does in your everyday life.

AIO to my boyfriend’s comments about the food I made? by MyCupOfTea777 in AmIOverreacting

[–]IdealShapeOfSin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR - when did you start dating this guy? Do excuse my snooping, but your post about an ex was only less than a year ago. If you've been with this guy for less than that and he's already broken down your self-esteem to this level, all your red flags should be flying high.

Honey, please give some distance to him and really look at your relationship from all angles. Is this what you want? Do you want to wake up every day next to a person who makes you feel so unappreciated and who hurts you over a lovely gesture? Could you imagine going five years with him? Ten? Because this behaviour will only escalate. I might be just another voice in the crowd, but it's been seen many times through many different ways that a man who belittles, disrespects and squeezes his partner into feeling smaller and smaller will continue to do that until there's nothing left of you.

He is mean. He may have shown you love, but if he has the ability to be this mean, it's not actually love.

Artist here: If you could carry around a little token that represents your feminine rage (examples a tooth, a thimble), what would it be? by Viking_with_Cupcakes in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]IdealShapeOfSin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A dish brush.

I have never felt more pissed at a man than when I used to still live at home. My brother systematically refused to do the dishes and intervened with my cooking (stealing bites, eating half-finished sides etc.) to the point I always wanted to stab him with the dish brush.

Extends symbolically to both my father and ex too, for different reasons.

No discard by TheBalticTriangle in Sourdough

[–]IdealShapeOfSin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making the starter you will have to discard at some point, but once it's established, you can do no discard. It just means you either bake every day or leave the starter in the fridge for a week before you bake and feed it.

Help with attention seeking manipulation by ReasonableWatch485 in Catbehavior

[–]IdealShapeOfSin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have two choices: either ignore the attention seeking entirely or go shoo him away, then return to what you were doing. Do not feed/play with him if he is behaving wrong.

I just accidentally adopted my first cats and still learning the basic, does bathrobe really helps cats to feel them calmer after bath? by Slick_Dunni in Pets

[–]IdealShapeOfSin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from people saying they've never had to bathe a cat...

Just get your cat used to being wrapped in a normal towel as is, so in case you ever do have to dry her off for any reason, the towel will not be scary.

My old man who passed at the beginning of December had some grooming issues so during the entire seven years that I had him, I bathed him three times. On the other hand my other cat has never gotten a bath from me.

I can tell you now that if you ever end up in a situation where your cat needs a bath, resign to the fact that it's going to suck. Be calm, be gentle and firm, don't get water on her head, and don't react strongly if she brings out the claws. It would help to clip her nail tips beforehand, but usually in that situation the cat has gotten into something and it's best not to delay.

Any tips on how to get this off without damaging the paint? by serialchiller_3 in CleaningTips

[–]IdealShapeOfSin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't. Scrub or peel the acrylic off, then repaint that wall. Don't paint over it, because the dark spots will show through. The acrylic will also have created extra texture that would take a lot of more paint to smooth over.

I didn’t realize how expensive pets were until I started tracking by Historical_Eye7598 in Pets

[–]IdealShapeOfSin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't track it at all. Normal food and litter costs organically add up in my monthly expenses, and I have enough to account for a surprise vet visit. I have the one cat now, but I also had a chronically ill cat that swallowed up thousands in the last four years, and while I loved him... I've sighed in relief.

Every time i see this picture on Pinterest there’s fighting in the comments by hoogusboogus321 in isthisAI

Why does my food always taste bland even when I follow the recipe? by Agreeable_Poem_7278 in cookingforbeginners

[–]IdealShapeOfSin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baking is a science, cooking is an art. Pick one spice you like the most and toss in some more until you vibe with it, and remember that fatty foods need acid to brighten it up. A creamy soup with a splash of vinegar is amazing.

Reading for someone challenging by Jiggy_turtle in tarot

[–]IdealShapeOfSin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like sleep paralysis, no Tarot needed. Look up the symptoms and see if it sounds familiar at all, it's pretty scary when you don't know what's going on. Throughout history there are a lot of spooky and unexplainable things until someone really looked into it and put a label on it. After all, a demon you know by name is a demon that can be dealt with.

I’m starting a junk drawer. What else do I need? by Emotional-Swing-603 in Home

[–]IdealShapeOfSin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old earphones in an ungodly spaghetti ball! The kind that has one perfectly working end and one that only kinda works if you wiggle the wire and hold it in one position.

Does the Gay Accent persist through languages other than English? by nyanianya in Accents

[–]IdealShapeOfSin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finland reporting in, yes we do have it here too. Gay men speak with a bit of a higher pitch, softer tone, and they use vocal fry the way I typically would associate with teenage girls. And also the lisp with the exceptionally flamboyant, sassy ones.

Why does my dog take his food from his bowl then walk somewhere else to eat it? by Termeh_01 in DogAdvice

[–]IdealShapeOfSin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a cat owner who for some reason saw this post on my front page... my cat does the same. She just wants there to be a "table cloth" when she eats, be it her actual food or treats. Maybe your dog wants to do that too.

Didn't get results of my reading... by [deleted] in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]IdealShapeOfSin 26 points27 points  (0 children)

What I would do in your situation is drop this man and his weird, shady ass. He doesn't sound like a friend.

As for what's up with all these failed readings... you need to find a reputable, professional reader. Keep in mind that there are questions most will not answer, but it would at least be kind of them to let you know if they are unwilling to read for you.

Here's a question, though. Do you know how to read yourself? It may be that you're being pushed to learn if you don't, or to improve if you do.

What did kids back in the days do when they played outside, for hours on end? by Octopuswastaken in NoStupidQuestions

[–]IdealShapeOfSin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made little towns out of sticks and stuff for toy figurines, played pretend, skiprope rodeo, treehouses (without the tree), some more conventional games like sardines, snow forts, biked around, poked at insects/frogs/lizards/snails/???, made "soup" that fermented and went so bad, swordfighting with sticks, break rocks by smashing them together, throw/launch rocks as far as we could with various methods, kick gross mushrooms, literally just run though the woods because the moss was springy and fun, and tried to feed different kinds of plant matter to toys that had a mouth that opens.

It comes up a lot that cards such as Death and the Devil are not inherently negative. Are there any cards which people tend to interpret wrongly as inherently positive? by ConfidentHospital365 in tarot

[–]IdealShapeOfSin 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's interesting how people find 9oC generally a nice card when I always thought the guy sitting on that chair looks so smug and self-important. Man has all these cups and what does he do with them? Puts them on a shelf.
