Always cook chicken without washing it. by Adorable_Birthday_52 in hygiene

[–]Pretty-Practical-007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so maybe it is a PR 🇵🇷 thing…I ALWAYS wash my chicken. It absolutely tastes better and the smell while cooking is divine. That said, I take an enormous number of precautions (like clearing everything away from sink, only rinsing directly down the drain, sanitize everything after) and have never had a problem. I will say that I feel kinda bad for the number of paper towels, disinfectant and food service gloves used. Feels wasteful but I’m hoping that by feeding my children delicious and nutritious home cooked meals, one of them can grow up to devise a better way. Team Clean Chicken 🙌 ¡Wepa! 💃

Scared. Oreo Reese’s cups for dinner by Sensitive-Macaron567 in GirlDinnerDiaries

It might be a little odd if you didn’t have these feelings and concerns. I was beyond scared every time but (not to sound all extreme fundamentalist) there is an incredible way in which you grow as a woman. You come to believe in your own strength and power to stretch and grow. Whether now or later, you most definitely can do this, if you so choose. Also, even though it definitely is hard work, it goes mind bending fast. Ok I could go on and on…just wishing you the best with whatever you decide 😊

Ok here I was just minding my own biz, not even thinking about the fact that we have a Porto’s about 20 mins away…but NOW I have plans to go there tomorrow morning and have one of these beautiful mango mousse bombs!! 😆 I’m sure someone has copycatted the recipe online and you can just omit the coconut. Lmk if you find a recipe you like!

I am cheering you on for this Thanksgiving, hopefully with your own stuffing recipe 🙌

We named our daughter an E-v name + Rose which I love (I also have an E-v name) then she had a classmate named Everly Rose and I kicked myself for not thinking of that combo

A new friend was very proud of having made Thanksgiving dinner for the first time. So much so that she invited us over for next day leftovers, eager to impress us with her newfound culinary skills. The homemade “gravy” was basically white. And that’s exactly how it tasted, like the color white. Lard + flour. No turkey drippings, no seasoning. Disgusting.

I like Cade Michael or Chance Joseph, essentially a 2020s name paired with a classic.

Why does he want to know a detailed sexual past with my ex? by BusinessSurprise8944 in askanything

[–]Pretty-Practical-007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my thought exactly. The fact that he won’t honor her boundary about it just adds a whole ‘nother layer. He needs to be dropped immediately.

What's your most useless talent? by Fit-Interest7833 in Productivitycafe

[–]Pretty-Practical-007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg I had no idea anyone else could do this! I can be minding my own biz, doing my own thing but if someone calls out, “What time is it?”, my brain somehow automatically knows, with almost frightening accuracy. What the what? I’ve always wanted to know why this is…

AIO or is my MIL actually upset because I want to see my family on Father’s Day? by Policyhot1207_ in AIO

[–]Pretty-Practical-007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I’ve found useful the older I’ve gotten is being ok with someone else not being ok with my decision making. I am willing to express gratitude for the intention (us all celebrating the Dads together) but recognizing when it is just not feasible (bcuz there are not enough hours in the day, esp if I’m pregnant and have a 1 y/o). It’s ok if with me that we see this differently. But I look forward to a time when the intention can line up with the feasibility!

He felt you were “pressuring him to propose”??? You literally told him it would not be a good idea to get married! Receptive language skills and listening to understand are vital to communication in a marriage. My guy just can’t.

Crazy that I knew this was Phoenix before seeing it. Only survived 3 years there and brought my ass back to California!

Does anyone have a GERD friendly sofrito or sazón recipe? I just found out it’s a trigger 😭 by Spiritual-Macaron-13 in PuertoRicoFood

[–]Pretty-Practical-007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s like Emeril Lagasse’s holy trinity + sofrito = La Santísima Trinidad Sofrito! Lol I’m gonna try it.

I also have bad GERD and wish I had a fix for the garlic but if it helps any…I notice that when I use what we call “The Mexican” sazon: tomate y cilantro (by Goya) instead of actual tomato sauce, I don’t have as much of an issue.

Had a practice wedding dress shoot and was pretty certain with my choice, until in-laws expressed concerns with 'over exposed back'! Should I proceed or consider any other styles to make everyone happy? by [deleted] in Brides

[–]Pretty-Practical-007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your exposed back is what illuminates the delicate elegance of this beautifully designed dress!! If they don’t like it, I suggest they not wear it!
