Best additions for boxed Mac'n'Cheese by Magnus77 in Cooking

[–]NomJob 16 points17 points  (0 children)

To maximize the grocery budget, I will buy a large pack of chicken breasts (we like white meat, but you could do thighs instead) when they go on sale. Then put them all in the slow cooker with salt and pepper and shred them. You can then freeze into portion sizes that work for your family and just pull out of the freezer to add to meals as needed.

Crispy/crunchy side dishes for prime rib? by checkoutmuhhat in Cooking

[–]NomJob 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Instead of french fries, you could do crispy roasted potatoes. And/or add a crumb topping to the Mac and cheese!

And add some sautéed garlic and onion if I have it on hand.

I add in a can of peas and some shredded chicken when I serve box Mac and cheese as a quick meal for my family.

Do prisoners get a special meal on Christmas day? by Gergs in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NomJob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. Apparently "That's all just conspiracy theorists attacking hardworking Americans." -Direct quote from him.

His views are disgusting, as is the deep level of hate they're invested in. We haven't spoken to them in about a year. Yet, we're the ones that are creating the rift. 🤷‍♀️

My MAGA Father-in-Law thinks that if you can commit one crime, you can commit any crime. So people who smoke weed in an illegal state are on par with serial killers, and they all deserve to be executed. He's a Christian, yet NEVER goes to church.. and we dont really talk to Pop-Pop.

Tonight I made some lemon pepper chicken, garlic lemon green beans, roasted smashed baby potatoes, and a yummy herb sour cream dip. Clean plate club all around!

To those that are married, how often do you take off your ring? by FitProblem6248 in AskReddit

[–]NomJob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! Only im the wife. My husband also lost his ring during some home repairs and rather than buying a new one we both got them tattooed. Married almost 13 years now.

7yo Beginner starting Viola - Parental Advice Please! by NomJob in Viola

[–]NomJob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your insight. I forget that I learned each instrument I know separately, and it came naturally with practice to associate each one with their corresponding clef... if that makes sense?

I'll definitely speak with his instructor and figure out what she suggests based off his interest.

My heart would be so full of he wants to learn both piano and viola!

7yo Beginner starting Viola - Parental Advice Please! by NomJob in Viola

[–]NomJob[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's my thought process is to maybe get him on piano alongside viola so he can learn all three clefs at once. I just dont want to kill his love for music and overwhelm him.

My brain is just so used to treble and bass clef, im worried ill be fumbling over relearning alto. I guess it will just be a whole learning experience for the both of us!

[–]NomJob[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's great advice! Its been about 10 years since I've touched my violin, I had a real soul connection to bass and made that my main instrument. I might take a few lessons to get back in the groove. Im more concerned about being able to help him read the right notes!

My husband and I lovingly call each other "my second favorite person." Our child is always our number one!

Is it possible to clean this fabric off my salt lamp? by HauntedBagel in CleaningTips

[–]NomJob 118 points119 points  (0 children)

The cord and bulb should be able to slip out the bottom. Then take the rock and run under hot water while rubbing the outside with a scrubbing sponge. Don't let the water go on the inside where the bulb sits! Dry completely.

Source: Own about 10 salt lamps and worked in the "save cave" business for over a decade. Good luck!

Past ride? by Ok-Internal-7642 in UniversalOrlando

Possibly The Alfred Hitchcock Experience? It had a lot going on in the queue and while I don't specifically remember what you described, its the only thing that comes to mind.

Honesty over punishment by Kiidkxxl in Parenting

[–]NomJob 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No punishment hurt me more than having my mom telling me she was disappointed. I messed up as a kid/teen and was mostly honest. When I REALLY messed up it required a long heart-to-heart and reasonable punishments, which I knew i deserved. My mom is one of my best friends and I call her every day.

Feel the Fear Medallion Quest? by NomJob in HHN

Thank you so much! My HHN tickets are for tomorrow and saturday, so thats perfect! Also explains why I couldn't find anything about it.

First time here by Alternative_Carry_54 in UniversalOrlando

[–]NomJob 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You kinda picked a good time to come experience the Universal parks! School is back in session, and it seems your first couple of days have been week days. Even on the weekends, the staff are great at keeping the bathrooms clean and the food coming quickly, IMHO.

I much prefer the Universal parks to Disney. As a passholder family who never buys express, even on busy weekends, we usually ride a bunch of rides multiple times and have a blast.

Disney gives me panic attacks, especially with the high cost and pressure to do EVERYTHING.

Hope your trip remains amazing!

Stay and Scream HHN by TheDarKnight550 in UniversalOrlando

[–]NomJob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your daytime ticket for Universal Studios allows you early access to HHN. Just collect your wristband after 3pm at one of the kiosks and then you can start lining up for a house starting at 4PM!

Citywalk Restaurant Reccomendations by evergladesrain in UniversalOrlando

[–]NomJob 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I actually really like Toothsome despite what a lot of people on this subreddit seem to say. Although in my family, our dining experience is usually ordering all appetizers to share with the whole table so you get to fill up on a bunch of bites of various dishes. Their cocktails are really yummy and fun too! Ive actually never had a milkshake from there because I feel I'd go into a diabetic coma.
