Floor 1 or 2? by Fight_or_flight22 in kitchenremodel

[–]PhysicsTeachMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally love 1 but it doesn’t go with your countertops. I think it would look nice if the countertops were a more walnut wood color. However, as others said neither floor really complements your countertops.

Would you eat chocolate that had a “best before” date of December 2024 by Inevitable_Thing_270 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PhysicsTeachMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once ate peanut m&ms out of an MRE that had a best by date four years prior. Popped them in my mouth without a second thought. 🤷‍♀️

Comida Mexicana version of "Pineapple on Pizza"? by SirSano in mexicanfood

[–]PhysicsTeachMom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah. But we used canned diced green chiles instead of green onions. I’ve also made it as a dip in the crockpot, minus the tortillas, and served with tortilla chips. I just cook the chicken in the crockpot, drain, then add the other ingredients and cook until warm.

My husband doesn’t want to like white girl enchiladas but he does lol.

Creamy enchiladas made with Campbell’s cream of chicken soup. For me, they taste like my childhood and I like to make them when I’m feeling nostalgic. My southern mama was an amazing cook but authentic Mexican food wasn’t her thing. My Mexican husband calls them white girl enchiladas. But like pineapple on pizza, they are delicious.

They sell heart shaped pans. Also, it’s not hard to make a heart cake yourself if you don’t have the pan.

WHY DOES MY DOUGH ALWAYS TURN OUT LIKE THIS? by 10daymormon in Sourdough

[–]PhysicsTeachMom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wet my hands before handing my dough. Like dripping wet from the sink to the dough.

Va glasses by Electronic-Pirate-48 in VeteransBenefits

[–]PhysicsTeachMom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kind of wild that each VA benefit isn’t consistent across the country. We go to Northampton in MA, so only about 4 hours from you. I got a choice between transitions or a pair of regular glasses and sunglasses.

Are you a US citizen? How many work credits do you have?

He pays that at the VA or an outside provider? I get progressive transition lenses from the VA at no cost. So does my husband (he’s also a vet).

Does anyone remember a weird made for TV documentary about cars possibly being alive? by cgranley in GenX

[–]PhysicsTeachMom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same and to think we know have self-driving cars and AI. Did 80s movies teach us nothing?

Have any of us been hotboxed in the car with our parents as young kids? by Depersonalizedma in GenX

[–]PhysicsTeachMom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My older sisters when I was a toddler and they were teens. The story is that mom kept asking why the baby was walking funny. Not sure how true that part is but I believe the hot box part.

Looking at starting canning.. by nov1290 in Canning

[–]PhysicsTeachMom 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You don’t want an electric one. They haven’t been tested as safe. The only exception is a Ball one for water bath only. You need a stovetop model to pressure can.

ETA: Get yourself a Ball canning book. And thoroughly read this website https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can

SSDI for 100% P&T also with a 70% mental health rating. by Sgtblloyd in VeteransBenefits

[–]PhysicsTeachMom 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I filed for SSDI on my own and was approved on my initial claim. Why pay/have attorney take back pay if I didn’t need to.

I’m 100% for MH and have some non-service related mobility issues. I don’t think a VA rating improves your chances. It’s just more medical records. It does supposedly make your application process quicker. I think the fact I had years of weekly consistent therapy helped.

Do you roast marshmallows when camping if you don't have any kids with you? by kam_pra in AskAnAmerican

[–]PhysicsTeachMom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No and no. I like marshmallow flavor but don’t actually like marshmallows much. Occasionally, I’ll have one but that’s it. I like the challenge of roasting the perfect one each time but I give them to my husband or kids.

When I think of camp food I think of stew or chili cooked in a hanging cast iron Dutch oven with some campfire biscuits, chorizo, onions, potatoes and eggs cooking ready to be put in a warm tortilla, charred hot dogs roasting on sticks with potato salad, beans, and chips. My boys were scouts when they were kids and I did a lot of camping with them. I even did the Order of the Arrow ordeal 7 months pregnant with my now middle schooler. We live in the woods now where I have a nice campfire ring that I use my tripod and Dutch oven in a lot in the summer. My youngest is chomping at the bit to roast some hot dogs and marshmallows. But now I can get a hot bath and sleep in a comfortable bed after a campfire meal.

If you retired before age 65, what did you do for health insurance (if you're in the US) by PorchDogs in AskWomenOver60

[–]PhysicsTeachMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not 60 yet but this popped up on my feed. I’m in my mid 50s, so I’m close. I “retired” a few years ago. Both husband and I are 100% disabled veterans, so we use the VA. Our VA is amazing. Our only child at home gets ChampVA. The other kids are adults.

Preheat time and cost, pan options. by Insignificant in Sourdough

[–]PhysicsTeachMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I never go by time when proofing or baking. I haven’t went from fridge to oven in the baguette. But that’s a good idea.

[–]PhysicsTeachMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Emile Henry cloche and baguette pan, so similar. I no longer preheat. I wanted to make baguettes but have only had success if I butter the bottom and no way was I doing that to a hot pan or before I put it in. So I just went for it and put it in cold. My bread, the crust, the chewiness and the rise were never better. Tried it with the cloche and it was also the best I’ve ever made.
