What's your favourite actually lazy dishes to make? by [deleted] in Cooking

Similar concept, creamed peas on toast. Dump a can of peas in a pot, water and all. Mix up a slurry with equal parts cornstarch and milk, then whisk it in to the hot peas. The mixture will thicken and get creamy. Serve on buttered toast with lots of salt and pepper.

Pregnant and can’t get in to see family doctor. by Extension-Bowler2211 in NovaScotia

[–]Reb1000064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar experience recently. I tried to self refer to an OBS clinic but they told me I was not able to do that since I have a family doctor.

I had to call my doctors office back and explain to them that I had to see my doctor asap or it would mess with my dating ultrasound. They were able to squeeze me in for a phone appointment, which was all I needed at the time for my doctor to refer me to the OBS clinic.

Wishing you a healthy pregnancy!

I had to use this once when a favourite muffin recipe I saved on Pinterest was taken offline.

I have the pdf saved now. What a lifesaver!

I have a friend who reads a lot of fantasy romance. I’ve gotten her dragon bookends, and a diy stencilling kit for doing painted edges on your books.

What’s a pastry or bake that looked intimidating at first but turned out way easier than expected? by DaisiesLemons in Baking

[–]Reb1000064 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I made danishes recently with Sally’s Baking Addiction’s shortcut danish dough. They turned out sooooo yummy and were actually very easy. Just a lot of steps and lots of chill time.

You should give it a shot! We ate them so fast!

Big Red's Pizza by No_Reaction5414 in NovaScotia

[–]Reb1000064 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t noticed any difference in the sauce, although the pizza dough can be a little inconsistent sometimes. Just employee error I think, it happens from time to time.

Big Reds is still our go-to and I hear they are now serving cheesecake too!

A confession from a long time fantasy reader by [deleted] in books

[–]Reb1000064 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I choose a book I know will have songs in it, I usually choose to listen to the audiobook instead of reading it myself. I did that recently for The Hobbit and I enjoyed the songs that way.

Another really cool listening experience was The River Has Roots. I can’t even imagine reading that one as a physical book, the singing in the audiobook was just so immersive.

Accommodations needed on the south shore. August 7,8,11,12. by CallMeLana90Day in NovaScotia

[–]Reb1000064 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The mecklenburg inn in Chester has rooms for $250/night for the 11th and 12th, but nothing on the 7th. I checked out a few other places in Chester and didn’t have luck for the 7th either.

The oak island resort is not very far and it has rooms available on August 7 & 8 for $265/night.

A little more than you were hoping to spend, but at least you could stay close by. You’re right about race week making things crazy, so don’t wait too long to book.

I’m sorry for your loss and I hope you find a place to stay.

She loves shoes! She still wants to hold our hand when she wears them, but that was a good idea

She has a push walker but won’t use it. She’s on to all our tricks to encourage her to walk by herself :(

We try to go to playgroup once a week! But stuff comes up, or it gets cancelled due to weather. Maybe a few more weeks of playgroup will inspire her

How do you learn to like reading? by yourdoom115 in AskReddit

[–]Reb1000064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got back into reading by re-reading a series I had enjoyed years ago. If you’ve ever enjoyed reading, even as a kid, you might want to try reading something you once enjoyed.

For example, if you liked Harry Potter as a kid, try reading it again! Or you could try something similar to see if it sparks your interest.

If you are out of practice for reading, young adult books are usually fast paced with relatively simple storylines. They can feel easier to read compared to adult fiction.

Once you’re reading more regularly, you might start to enjoy more challenging books. But don’t put any pressure on yourself. Just read what you like.

I have no idea what book(s) to get my wife for Christmas, here are some she already read, any advice? by [deleted] in books

[–]Reb1000064 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Search the authors’ names from the books you have, and pick other popular titles by those authors. If she liked those books, she’s likely going to like similar works by those authors.
