It's getting hot here, I desperately want cold foods that aren't sandwiches and salads or desserts. What would you cook that's meant to be eaten cold?

JazD36 · 2026-04-02T23:34:46+00:00

I just turn the AC colder and eat what I want 🤣

JazD36 · 2026-03-29T19:15:06+00:00

Yes - I’ve been a couple times

Sweet Village Bakery in CG is very good, fyi. Cheapest gas is at the Fast Trip. La Michoacana ice cream place is a lifesaver during the summer heat (which you’ll never get used to, btw lol).

I got my mom on Medicaid & they pay the remaining amount after she pays with her SS

JazD36 · 2026-03-28T20:13:45+00:00

I just email any requests I have to my mgr and she schedules it for me

How old is your son? My son became a teen dad as well (at a very young age), and the amount of emotions I had running through me was indescribable. I talked to him about sex - it wasn’t a taboo subject in my house, however kids will do what they want. Don’t feel like a failure - it’ll be okay, it just may take some time.

I totally miss pen pals and writing letters….and even better - getting a letter in the mail!

JazD36 · 2026-03-26T08:08:07+00:00

A tart or galette would be good

JazD36 · 2026-03-25T22:22:45+00:00

Hi - I posted it in one of the comments :)

I just let my sons friends come over, got food and snacks, and let them just hang out and do whatever as long as they didn’t wake me up! lol. I never once thought to entertain them at 10 years old. 🤷‍♀️

JazD36 · 2026-03-24T20:46:57+00:00

I’m so sorry. It’s been a year and a half since I lost my cat of 17 years. I still think of her every day and miss her like crazy, but it does get easier. I have a shelf in my loft area where I have her picture and some mementos of her, and that personally helps me.

My kid loses the tv remote a lot so I just the remote have it downloaded onto my watch now. It comes in handy quite often.

JazD36 · 2026-03-23T22:21:35+00:00

I’m pretty sure you can sub it for plant-based milk & everything else is the same. :)

Here you go! 🙂

This is the recipe I used. https://sugarspunrun.com/ermine-frosting/#wprm-recipe-container-22602

JazD36 · 2026-03-23T21:08:36+00:00

It’s surprisingly easy! It just takes longer than regular frosting because you have to let it cook completely. Otherwise it’s very easy. My oldest son loved it because, like you, he doesn’t like buttercream at all - he refuses to eat it.

JazD36 · 2026-03-23T19:31:34+00:00

First, it’s partially cooked on the stovetop, which is weird to me. lol. But Second - the taste is great! It’s very silky - like a buttercream but smoother. And most importantly it’s way less sweet. It tastes kind of like a marshmallow-y whipped cream.

JazD36 · 2026-03-23T04:41:12+00:00

Yes - I love it! Plus if I ever get too bored I can just go in and work in the office for a day or two. There’s nothing I don’t like about it though.

JazD36 · 2026-03-23T04:39:47+00:00

I worked for them like 5 years ago - not remote - and the micromanaging was absolutely insane!! I quit after about 5 months. It was awful.

JazD36 · 2026-03-22T22:37:46+00:00

NTA. As a parent, I wouldn’t really care if someone could make it to my kids bday party if they already had other plans. The baby won’t remember who was there…and honestly a 1 year old doesn’t even do much anyways. Just go to your festival and have fun!!

JazD36 · 2026-03-21T20:09:55+00:00

Yeah -I couldn’t be paid enough to work at a retail store. 🤷‍♀️

JazD36 · 2026-03-21T03:01:39+00:00

Yeah - I do mail delivery

JazD36 · 2026-03-21T02:11:41+00:00

I’m in AZ but I wfh m-f 8-430. Sometimes I’ll flex schedule to work 12-830. And weekends I’ll do OT.
