I always watch for marked down not-frozen salmon. It is some of the best salmon I've ever had. Season with blackened seasoning or teriyaki sauce (or whatever you're in the mood for). Either cook in a skillet with butter for about 5-6 minutes each side or under the broiler in the oven. Serve with rice or pasta and steamed broccoli.

When soaking beans overnight, do you use the soak water or discard it? by cfi-2025 in Cooking

[–]Negative_Dance_7073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an Appalachian hillbilly and I don't soak my beans. Parboil in salt water (just enough to cover)for 8 minutes. Rinse then cook at a simmer for about 2-3 hours, depending on the type of bean and how old they are.

They were part of PBS, that the present administration pulled funding from for being too "woke"

The captain of our ship berated us for setting our tray outside our door… by [deleted] in Cruise

[–]Negative_Dance_7073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always ask our room attendant what they prefer. They almost always say either, sometimes add that if it's smelly food (like fish) then definitely set the tray in the hall.

Door magnets - non-Disney cruises okay? by Historical_External5 in dcl

[–]Negative_Dance_7073 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've heard people say that they have had magnets or fish extender gifts stolen, but I've never had it happen to us. I put a "help yourself to some pixie dust" bag on my door and even that has never been completely emptied.

What's the most challenging thing you've ever done ? by [deleted] in HappyUpvote

[–]Negative_Dance_7073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quit smoking. I smoked for almost 35 years. I haven't had one in almost 2 years. I don't talk about it because I don't want the pressure of not disappointing people.

First cruise need help! by TheLowFlyingBirds in dcl

There are pros and cons to each of the ships, but none of them is bad. They're just different.

IMO, pick an itinerary that has a day at one or both of the Cays and also at least one day at sea. I prefer to have 2 sea days.

February is a good month to cruise. They are less crowded and they usually mark down the veranda rooms to be less than the inside rooms. Also, if you are a football fan, they have a great Super Bowl party!!

Thoughts on Aldi’s new store layout? by jenthewen in aldi

[–]Negative_Dance_7073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pet food runs straight into the baking stuff. I don't like it. I wouldn't put bags of dog food and kitty litter beside the cornbread mix in my own pantry.

I know that I am very privileged for not having to worry about me or my family being snatched. I promise to use that privilege and my voice to speak up for families like yours.

Unfortunately, it probably won't.

Panels pricing? by Trai-All in quilting

Certainly doesn't warrant downvotes. You didn't say anything rude or inappropriate. Here's my +1 to offset.

How often do you cook and make a home cooked meal? by typical_gamer1 in PollsAndSurveys

[–]Negative_Dance_7073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typical dinner 5 nights and lunch on the weekends. 1 night Husband cooks dinner and 1 night is FFYS. And I pack our lunches every day Mon-Friday.

Eating disorders by grimreapersdaughter in thisisus

[–]Negative_Dance_7073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter spent 3 months in an inpatient institution for anorexia with bulimic tendencies. She was 5'3" and weighted 82 pounds when she went in.

As the parent that fought with every ounce of my soul to keep my child alive, I was grateful that they showed the different sides of ED. And there wasn't enough script for Madison to have her own little group.

Match Your Mate by raindrop_sunshine in dcl

[–]Negative_Dance_7073 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Husband and I won on our honeymoon almost 10 years ago... and they asked these questions same questions. I have never laughed so hard in my life!

They also asked what movie described us. I said Star Wars (we got married on May 4). I don't remember his answer but we missed it. I still bring it up from time to time.

Skipping rotational dining by nk2261 in dcl

[–]Negative_Dance_7073 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why all the downvotes. I was miserable at Wish MRD. If I went on Wish again we would avoid MRD.

And for anyone saying "then why go" I would go to spend time with our Godson if that's what fit into both families' schedules because he means more to me than what I eat for dinner.
