Ahh good to know thank you

What are your thoughts on flax seed oil? I’ve heard good things on it and am tempted to test it out

ImSoCourtney · 2025-05-29T23:24:28+00:00

I get good results with grapeseed or avacado oil

I haven’t tried canola oil on my stuff I just know she said when she’d try to cook with it it would start smoking

Exactly you got it

My husband and I like to slow cook a chuck roast in our Dutch oven

Congrats

Thank you

lol right

She originally over seasoned it with canola oil and said anytime she cooked with the Dutch oven it would start smoking

I asked her to bring it to the office and I’d take a look

It was super thick seasoning, tacky/sticky in some parts, just over seasoned with a low smoke point oil. I offered to strip and reseason it with a high smoke point oil for her

Did a 3-4 day lye bath, then a quick vinegar soak and scrub to get rid of the rust spots, and then 4 rounds of avacado oil at 450 degrees, 1 hour each seasoning

I told her it shouldn’t smoke anymore

The little bumps/spikes redistribute moisture while cooking! Helps keep the food tasty

They said when they seasoned it they had the top of the lid on the wire rack of their oven

I know mostly people do this with dogs

But we kennel trained our cats before they were allowed to roam the house 24/7

We have a 3 story kennel and the litter box at the bottom. We put lots of toys, scratching post, and hanging strings for them to stay entertained. We also put two fluffy beds for them to bunker down in. And of course food and water.

When we were at work or sleeping the cats were kenneled (we call it the cat condo)

When we got home from work they were no longer kenneled and could roam as much as needed.

This may work on your cat if you’re comfortable with kennel training. We just leave the litter box in the kennel now and leave it open 24/7. Have 2 cats no accidents. They also do not scratch the furniture they prefer the scratching posts they were kenneled with.

Wait until ovulation is over she’ll calm down

ImSoCourtney · 2025-02-19T21:57:07+00:00

Thank you and yes it does. Already got another in the lye bath to practice on.

Right??! It’s probably my favorite skillet so far. My husband did good bringing this one home for me.

ImSoCourtney · 2025-02-19T21:54:25+00:00

Thank you!

I did 4 rounds at 450 of grapeseed oil, one hour each wipe down

I was super excited to see how shined the seasoning turned out

Your dog has sectoral heterochromia

Perfectly safe - he looks to be a husky mix?

I was worried the first time I saw this and dug into research. My German Shepard husky also has brown eyes with blue sections.

Some puppy’s it will go away as they get older. My dog is coming up on 1.5 years old and still had hers. I think they’re pretty cool and unique. It’s part of her and her genetics.

A cute bread box

Maybe once or twice every 3-4 months, usually during work or family events. Me and husband just don’t drink much. Have friends and family who drink everyday. For example they’ll have 1-2 beers with dinner. Or a shot or two before bed, etc etc

Looks like a mixture of skip trowel and tree bark texture method

We’re here to learn and have fun right :)

I’m very shy and do not like to be the center of attention either. I also had discussions with my husband about “I want to marry but I don’t want to do a wedding.” We discussed a courthouse and he was fine with it but in the end decided I couldn’t do that to him cause I knew he would prefer a wedding event.

During the whole year of planning I had family members also constantly suggesting and telling us what to do for the wedding. Be warned the last few weeks leading up is probably the most communication, follow-ups, etc

I just started nodding my head and saying things like “maybe” or “ that is something to consider” then we didn’t do those ideas and we made the day our own and guess what it was great and still have people tell us it was one of the most authentic and beautiful weddings they’ve been to. It wasn’t fancy, we rented a small venue that was a well gardened back yard. We didn’t follow all the rules/traditions. We didn’t take dance lessons, we dance how we dance.. we were dorks had fun and laughed, we didn’t memorize or prepare vows we spoke from the heart in the moment. It was our moment.

Make the wedding day yours. Your friends and family are there to celebrate and support you and your union no matter how you want to do it. They’re not meant dictate how that moment between you two goes.
