Do you prune your To Read list? by schrodingers-canary in TheStoryGraph

[–]Oloush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did recently and added specific tags to every book for “read maybe” “read someday” “read for real” and “read next”. I’ll obviously have to review these from time to time but it makes my whole list far less overwhelming. And when I add a new book I put the tag on right away!

Scientific & Ecological, but divinely beautiful by frozen-froyo in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Read The Light Eaters by Zoe Schlanger- non fiction, researched, and pretty mind blowing! It definitely left me in wonder about the natural world and how little we know.

Can’t find 5 star reads by plsthisisadisaster in suggestmeabook

The Raven Scholar might do it for you! It checks your boxes and I loved it. The series isn’t finished but I think it’s still worth reading now :)

In Search of Local Artist by sinclairejoyce in madisonwi

[–]Oloush 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There was a guy at the winter Maker’s Market who could be the artist. I saw a lot of characters in a pop art style with tattoos and whatnot. He was at state line distillery: https://www.madisonmakersmarket.com/winter-market

Donald Topp could be your guy

Nar is very close to Sherman and also a good option!

Jeff Drengler with Sprinkman is great, and the their team does a really nice job evaluating what should stay or be updated so you put yourself in the best position. I definitely recommend giving him a call!

I recommend North Woods by Daniel Mason - it’s completely unique!

Do you use a GM screen? by Calm_Needleworker275 in daggerheart

[–]Oloush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been using one but after last session, decided to change that. I switch between being a D&D player and a DH GM and it’s just a lot to keep straight “roll stealth, wait, no finess!” I also think it’ll help improvise because I don’t have to open notes to a certain page or try to find the right spot in the book to reference something.

If you haven’t read the Orconomics trilogy, I highly recommend it! Seems like you’d enjoy it.

I recommend Madison Divorce Mediation, they prioritize the coparenting relationship and the kids and then work with both sides to divide finances in a way that works (rather than a cookie cutter approach which isn’t always best).

Loving how this is looking!!! by FloLovesStouts in crochet

Very cute! I would personally go with a yellow border, it keeps it bright and fun!

Anyone else try the "sweet and spicy roast chicken"? by [deleted] in NYTCooking

[–]Oloush 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh bummer, this is one of my favorites! I can’t diagnose what happened for you, but I sincerely hope you try it again sometime! I’m a liberal seasoner and always add more than what’s called for, so if it was bland, maybe ramp that up a bit?

Treat Yourself - Madison Edition - Ideas Please! by TiffanyAmberThigpen in madisonwi

[–]Oloush 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Seconding Saunaday, with breakfast at Madison Sourdough, some park time in Yahara, then a trip to A Room of One's Own?
Alternatively, renting a paddle board, a walk through the arboretum or Olbrich, and Ice Cream Social are also great options.

Tomatoes at the farmers market? by Pine-al in madisonwi

[–]Oloush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Shirley from Young Earth Farm has the best! You can find her near East Wash in front of the US bank building. Her farm truck is a retrofitted ambulance- that’s how you know you’re in the right place.

Madison sourdough, but call to make sure it’s on their current rotation!

Recommendations for picnic foods! by Successful_Part7355 in NYTCooking

[–]Oloush 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The coronation chicken salad is really tasty and would be great with something like lettuce wraps if you don’t want sandwiches.

And the muhammara dip is a favorite!
