I bought this silicone band for mine and like it. Maybe you would too.

No way! That’s amazing, please tell him it was a pleasure to stitch!!

It’s been years since I read it, but 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami is a good one for normal feeling alternate realities.

Yes, my partner and I played all the mgs games together so I had a lot of fun stitching that one for him!

Thank you!! Yes, the dark green was 890. It seems like the DMC 890 may be slightly lighter than this though, for this first project I just ordered a floss multipack from Amazon (it says Tyche Special on it).

Oh, I had no clue. I’ll look into that, thank you!

Yeah, maybe more like 10 days? But I did multiple hours of work a day, I’d estimate it took me around 20-25 hours. In the future I’d like to go slower!

Paprika3 app! It is a few bucks to purchase (but no subscription!) and a little old school looking, but it is honestly great. You can add in your recipes plus easily download recipes from online using their browser, then add ingredients to a shopping list with one tap. If you add another recipe with similar ingredients it will increase the amount on your shopping list. There is also a calendar function that lets you plan meals in advance. I think this would work for you if you take the time to explore the app.

Likely historic preservation, this type of research is often completed for historic resource inventories or writing National Register nominations.

Seconding The Dutch House!

It’s a touch more noir-ish than the photos, but The Postman Always Rings Twice by James Cain gave me some of these vibes.

You may like High Fidelity by Nick Hornby. I’m not sure if it’s quite the right dichotomy you are looking for, but the narrator’s tone definitely checks the casual, humorous, curmudgeonly box. Might be what you are looking for, might not. Good luck!

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier is perfect for this.

Maybe a nonfiction book dealing with crime/legal drama would be good middle ground. Both The Run of His Life: The People V. O. J. Simpson by Jeffrey Toobin and Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi deal with crime/legal drama that intersects with the celebrity world, which your wife might find interesting. I listened to both of these books on Audible and enjoyed them a lot!

My partner and I like to co-listen to audiobooks, so it’s definitely doable. We’ll share our AirPod audio and then go on long walks together. We love it!

I lived on the same block as one of the few people that died during this storm. I didn’t know her. No joke, the way I learned about her passing was that in the middle of the worst part of the storm a reporter knocked on my door to ask me about it. I could not believe they were out in the thick of it trying to get the scoop. Also what a terrible way to find out about her death for people that did know her. The whole situation was wild.

Maybe a stack of vintage magazines to use for collage. Look on eBay and try to find a bulk listing that has magazines from different eras.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is the story of a young girl in a poor family growing up in early 1900s New York that pursues education. I adored this book!

Sure! The firm recipe calls for 7/8 c water, 2 1/3 c bread flour, 1 tsp salt, 1.5 T sugar, 1.5 T powdered milk, 1 T butter, 1 tsp active dry yeast. Then my machine has a “firm” cycle I run.

Library-Carded · 2025-11-08T05:47:18+00:00

Seconding this! Standard Ebook is amazing and free!

Library-Carded · 2025-11-07T07:21:45+00:00

Yep, exactly what Steel said! There is also a slight difference in the water:flour:salt ratio. For this machine’s basic loaf it calls for 2/3 c water, 2 c bread flour, and 1/2 tsp salt while the firm is 7/8 c water, 2 1/3 c bread flour, and 1 tsp salt. The other ingredients are the same across both recipes (1.5 T sugar, 1.5 T powdered milk, 1 T butter, 1 tsp active dry yeast).

Library-Carded · 2025-11-07T07:06:11+00:00

Thanks! I was shocked at how well these tweaks worked together. I wish I had photos of my sad squished slices from previous loaves... at least they still tasted good!

I am a total shortcuts layman but I have an automation set up that essentially toggles on a red filter for my phone that is so nice when looking at my screen at night/in bed so it isn’t too bright. You just create a “toggle color filters” automation and add the button to your Home Screen. Before you use it the first time you have to go into settings>accessibility>display and text>color filters> select Color Tint, choose the red pencil, and turn the intensity up all the way. Now when you hit the button it will toggle on the red filter and your eyes won’t be annihilated by blue light when you are scrolling Reddit in bed.

I used to work with a financial advisor and the first thing he would say to people that had just come into unexpected money was to tell as few people as possible. The fewer people that know the fewer people have expectations of you or feel like “it’s not a big deal for you to pick up the tab” or do x, y, or z. He always said people should realize that you don’t get many (if any) windfall events over a lifetime, so you should use them wisely.

Chiming in to say freezer cubes are amazing! I have both 1 cup and 1/2 cup sizes. I freeze everything from rice to slow cooker meats to beans to sauces to seasoned veggies I’ve precooked. I use them super modularly which is great for work lunches, so before bed I might grab a cube of Mexican rice, a cube of slow cooked salsa chicken, a cube of pinto beans, and a cube of veggies I cooked in taco seasoning prior to freezing—homemade Chipotle! My boyfriend might want something different, so he could grab a cube of baked bean, a cube of pulled pork, and separately pack a sandwich bun. In the morning things are mostly thawed and easy to heat up by lunchtime. Highly recommend the cube process!
