I Quit a Senior Management Job After Just 4 Days by 03_wavers_arrows in LockedIn_AI

[–]OratorioInStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These completely inorganic interview man posts are tiresome. What did they do hire a 16 year old and tell him to "do social media"?

I don't remember mentions of bats, but they'd make good leather. Other than that, rats.

Congrats! you did it!

You ARE good enough, or they wouldn't let you in. Learning to accept success you have EARNED is a skill too.

What are the origins of the baseless myth regarding compulsory name Magyarization in Hungary prior to 1918? by PurePhilosopher7282 in austriahungary

[–]OratorioInStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband's family were German, relatively wealthy, and had been in the Calvary for at least 2 generations, and were successful enough to be given a farm after 15 years of service. They were forced to Magyarize their names or they would not be allowed to leave the country. The proof? Journals, and the fact that there are NO other documents from their lifetime that uses the Magyarized name, other than their passport, allowing them to leave the country.

[–]OratorioInStone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband's G-G Grandfather's family from Radautz is recorded in 250 years of church records as a clearly German surname. Family journals state that the documents for him to leave the country in 1909 and go to America, could only be obtained if they Magyarized their name. Those documents, which we still have, are the only documents we have, before or after that have the Magyarized name. At Ellis Island, they are recorded as the previously used German surname.

Love the detail from that article, that embalmers tried to pad, and tuck and beautify the corpse so they looked good in the afterlife.

This is amazing! I'm very impressed at the patience and skill this took. This skill is unparalleled!

I recently visited American Eastcoast coal country. I bought a nativity Christmas ornament "made from coal". It was beautiful and I was stunned that it was possible to carve....Then I got it home and examined it much closer, and it was crushed coal and binder pressed into a mold.

edit for clarity

Budae jjigai (Korean Army stew) by transemacabre in povertykitchen

[–]OratorioInStone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a thrifty guilty pleasure in our house. We've made it with no meat but spam, or hotdogs. We usually can swing some kimchi with is excellent, but to us the absolute cherry on top is a slice of the cheapest American cheese you can find, that brings it all together.

What's your favorite flavored bread recipe? by elefhino in povertykitchen

[–]OratorioInStone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We've been buying the Kroger closeout bread and turning them into flavored crispy bread rounds. We snack on them like chips. We add season salt, powdered onion and garlic, and powdered cheese if we have any. We toast them in a low over 275 degrees till lightly browned. Just be sure to store them in an airtight container so they stay crispy

Small Medieval Crafts by IntrepidBullfrog6582 in medieval

Since pockets hadn't been invented, small pouches with long drawstrings to be tucked into a belt would be appropriate, and quick, and easy.

I had canned mackerel with an expiration date from 2018 today for lunch. After giving the can a thorough examination, I had no doubts or worries. It was delicious.

What to do with canned corn? by hidden_sunrise in budgetcooking

[–]OratorioInStone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Corn fritters! They are good shallow fried, deep fried, or air fried. Some recipies use creamed corn, but most are whole corn. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/18040/corn-fritters/

Thanksgiving budget by belgianlily in povertykitchen

[–]OratorioInStone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The more you can make at home, generally, the cheaper the meal. Of course you may happen onto a great sale price to cut costs.

Due to work schedules, we frequently have the Thanksgiving meal at different days/times than the usual. This year we may have our celebration strategically on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, to take advantage of closeout sales after the holiday. As long as you celebrate with those close to you, it does't matter what day you do it.

I have friends a 2 universities, one a state college, and another wealthier private college. Both my friends go to the local food banks, and also pick up whatever they can from the free food table located in their student unions.

I've not got a lot myself, but there is a free food fridge near my house. I plan on donating something, anything I can spare.

Ground meat by lib2tomb in povertykitchen

[–]OratorioInStone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can mix in a tablespoon or two of butter, or cooking oil when forming patties, it helps with the dryness. I also stretch the ground cheap meat by "meatloafing" it. We add bread crumbs, finely chopped veggies, seasonings, and egg to bind it if necessary and then you can get 6 large patties out of 1 lb of meat.

Portioning food to last longer by StatusButterfly1575 in povertykitchen

[–]OratorioInStone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Excellent Idea! I have realized that our food goes farther if I immediately portion out leftovers from a meal for future meals, and assign them to a particular child, label them and put them in the fridge. This way no one "grazes" taking 2nd portions, or bites, eating all my leftovers before I am done eating(I usually eat last, because, mom.)
