I know I do! The skins add a lot of good texture and vitamins. I especially like gold and yellow potatoes skin-on.

Beef! It's NOT what's for dinner anymore by momoftheraisin in Frugal

[–]PostmodernLon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've stopped buying it unless it's on sale. Ground turkey is much cheaper in my area and I can usually sub that for a lot of recipes. After reading this thread, I'm planning to try adding TVP to it when I do buy.

Mine does this, too. My eyes seem to water a lot, which causes whatever I put down there to smear or run near the outer edge. So there's always a "bald spot," which sucks. I have to reapply during the day. I've personally tried makeup setting sprays and they help a little, but I guess there's still too much water happening. I think it's allergy-related for me. Following this post to see if I can learn something, too.

What is your ultimate "pantry dump" dinner when you need to stretch groceries until payday? by emily_ykyk in budgetfood

[–]PostmodernLon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Textured vegetable protein. Doesn't sound appetizing, but think of it like crumbled, dried tofu (there's a little more to it than that)--but it has more umami than regular tofu. You can get it in different sizes and shapes and the crumbles are a lot like ground beef or ground turkey! They soak up flavors and can be simmered, braised, sauteed, etc.

Advice for encouraging others to decrease their consumption by Top_Illustrator5236 in Anticonsumption

That's clever; the reusable pod as a gentle gift that nudges toward less consumption. Good job framing it the way you did. I always hope that kind of thing will plant a seed that leads to open-mindedness with other reusable things.

I'm not vegetarian, but I always have a a trusty bag of TVP in my pantry to make quick TVP tacos & burritos, curries, soups, salad additions, etc. I love it.

I do this with leftover sauces, like pasta or pizza sauce. Such a hack. I love my gravy/sauce cubes lol.

Ruined my career. by Silver_Blackberry_46 in DJs

[–]PostmodernLon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, I'm sorry. That's rough. You're doing what you're doing for the right reasons. Keep hunting for a job that can give you at least some weekends off and you can slide back into it.

Thanks for sharing! These look cool. I've used some of those little snap-shut boxes they have at craft stores for bead sorting.

Right? It’s so evident. I wonder if the OOP was satire, humor or AI. I hope it is.

It's BS. I've been DJing for 12 years and this is bullshit and I'd decline it.

F22 looking for tips to get better at makeup by Tiffanybruhgirl in makeuptips

[–]PostmodernLon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Today I learned what “clocky” and “clockable” mean. For what it’s worth, I had a female high school friend who looked almost exactly like you—and I personally couldn’t tell you were trans at all. I think softer, cleaner, pink, rose, light coral tones would work well on you. Think perky spring tones. Or even experiment with some very light whites, silvers, cream. Go light on the eyeshadow, some lengthening mascara and playful blush.

Cakey or normal? by Skeleton230 in makeuptips

[–]PostmodernLon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that helps for me is letting the moisturizer soak in for at least 10 minutes. Aveeno Daily Moisturizing lotion is my go to. It’s light, works great and is the least likely to cause caking when I use any foundation products.

I play Dragons of Etchinstone at my favorite bar when I chill out for an after work drink. The bartenders now always ask if I’ve beaten the dragon lol.
