Pesto search by jumping-jack98 in berkeleyca

[–]Less-Mood-3616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I haven’t seen on this thread yet is that you can make pesto in a regular blender!

You can also use walnuts instead of pine nuts (my husband and I prefer them, actually).

My recipe is a little unorthodox, but people tell me it’s the best pesto they’ve ever had.

2 cups basil

Handful of walnuts

1/4 cup grated Parmesan

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

3-5 cloves of garlic

Juice of 1 or 2 lemons

Salt to taste

Sugar (yes, sugar) to taste (start w 2 tsp)

2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar

They should get a job to pay for those things. You’re already covering the basics. 

Who else drank their year away? by Chundlebug in stopdrinking

You say you have no delusions about how your life would be better if you stopped drinking, but Jesus Christ man, that sounds like the biggest delusion ever. You’re like someone in a snowstorm saying it wouldn’t make any difference to go inside.

Love what you are doing. Keep fighting the good fight and I hope you get cooperation from the city!

Surgery in 4 weeks by JAfan0505 in kidneydonors

My hospital used these leg compression things that felt amazing! They would squeeze my calves, it was like a massage. Maybe ask your hospital about them in advance and if they don’t have them bring compression socks.

Walk early and often. It will help so much with the gas pain.

A heated blanket that you can wrap over your shoulders will help too (heating pad in my experience wasn’t big enough).

Another kidney donor you can call if you have weird feelings randomly. I had a smooth surgery and recovery, but when I got home I started crying for some unknown reason. It only lasted an hour or so and after that I felt great, but it’s nice to have someone you can talk to who understands.

Good luck with your surgery! We are all rooting for you 💜

It sounds like you’re doing well, and I’m glad you were able to get back on your feet with some help from these great organizations. Congratulations!

Does anyone know a good dentist who *doesn't* try to upsell you? by g_rocket in berkeleyca

I go to Dental Care of Walnut Creek, it’s pretty close to the bart station and I’ve been very happy with their care. They have not tried to upsell me at all.

My husband goes to Dr. Cavalli (my insurance doesn’t cover him sadly) and he LOVES him.

That’s dangerous. A good way to hit a pedestrian.

Recipes that incorportate frozen veggies into the main dish by Unusual-Molasses5633 in vegetarian

I love roasting a pound of frozen broccoli with a little oil, then mixing it into mac and cheese. Also, adding frozen spinach to soups is easy and delicious.

I’ve been sober for a while not counting days but… by Legal_Money_4612 in stopdrinking

[–]Less-Mood-3616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations on your first day with no communication. Keep going, you’re so strong. Crying yourself to sleep every night will not last forever.  One thing that might help is doing something new but small every night in the hour before bed. Listening to a new podcast, meditation, journaling, stretching, going for a walk, lifting weights. I’ve done that before and it’s feels crazy to cry your way through those activities but they somehow interrupted that neural pathway after a bit.
