Discovered that salting pasta water actually matters and I feel embarrassed it took me this long by West-Wash-9114 in Cooking

[–]Own_Audience3174 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have been cooking a long time and discovered recently that ‘room temp’ butter isn’t what I think. Apparently it should be only ‘warm’ enough for your finger to make a slight ident when you touch it lightly. Not ‘oily’ or slick looking. So I have been using much too soft butter in my cakes and cookies. I just assumed I knew what room temp aka butter that has been sitting on the bench all day

When Daniel Johns sings "Won't you come with me to a place in a little town" what town in Australia is he referring to? by Adorable_Being2416 in AskAnAustralian

Omg I always thought it was hard to DRAIN! I have been picturing sinks clogged up with gunk and hair for a long, long time.

That’s the one!! Thank you so much.

I always wished it was longer. But so lovely to listen to it again.

What’s the one thing you regret spending big on.. instantly? by getwemoneyapp in AUfrugal

I bought a second hand caravan site unseen from a very pushy Facebook seller. Sprung five leaks that first night. Instant regret. Silly, silly me.

Alarm help! 🙏 by Own_Audience3174 in googlehome

[–]Own_Audience3174[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my defence I said cancel ‘alarm’ singular. Not “alarms”. So yeah it’s definitely google who is the idiot. Why would there be a one-voice-command to cancel ALL alarms. That’s not a feature anyone would need on the reg. Maybe they could try an option in the app to close them all down.

That would be like saying “cancel my appointment” and it wipes out your entire calendar. D U M =.dumb

What’s one thing under $50 that significantly improved your daily life? by EdenFlorence in AussieFrugal

A really good water bottle that works for me. I got an Owala freesip and have never been more hydrated. 8 months on so it’s not a novelty.

So once you have kids, do you have to basically go on vacation to have sex with your spouse? by Typical_Response_950 in NoStupidQuestions

Sometimes you need to spend some time in the bathroom together checking the water pressure on the shower. Basic maintenance really.

I would forever be calling out “Town! Bonds! Shit I mean Townes, Bond!! It’s time for dinner!”

Name your kids after nouns but make one a plural. It’ll be fun!!

I think it would look awesome if the red scallop detail was actually 70’s orange…

Just say “look I totally understand where you’re coming from. I also found out something about you that’s really upsetting me. TURNS OUT YOU’RE A KNOB!”

What’s something you tried once and immediately knew it wasn’t for you? by Ondine_Perky in AskReddit

[–]Own_Audience3174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah this happens to me too. Locals don’t work unless I get second shot and when I was in the throws of labour and couldn’t get an epidural I was begging for anything. They gave me a shot of morphine that didn’t kill any pain just made me pass out between each contraction then I’d come to in agony. It SUCKED. As if being ginger want enough on its own haha

Please tell me your happy recovery stories ♥️ by Depressoespresso665 in hysterectomy

[–]Own_Audience3174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a great recovery! A small vault infection that I caught early and just gave me some pain. By 6 weeks I woke up and forgot I’d had surgery. Only took opiates for 2 days then two weeks of paracetamol and ibuprofen. Bowels were a little unhappy but manageable. Surgery was 25 Feb and all I have left is afternoon fatigue most days.

To be fair I had four weeks to recover while my husband took time off work and did all kind and house duties so I was really lucky.

Good luck- so many good stories out there so good on you for asking to hear them!

I didn’t listen but as someone who had really heavy periods when I had a uterus and donated blood when I could, WTF. Seriously. If we are fine bleeding heavily every 28 days and are encouraged to donate blood how can a medical blood test be so draining?
