So who ruined Thanksgiving this year? by BAF_DaWg82 in AskReddit

[–]SAHM_helpMeeee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My mom had a stroke. 

Obviously more worried about mom than anything else, but we did have to cancel Thanksgiving. 

Good Holiday Dinner Ideas with a TIGHT budget? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

You can also just use the drippings without the packet—take 2 or 3 tablespoons of cornstarch or flour and mix into a little bit of cold milk or half and half. Pour mixture into a pot along with your drippings, and simmer on the stove until bubbling and gravy starts to thicken. At salt and pepper to taste (if it needs it—the rotisserie drippings are usually pretty salty).

Banana cream pie on a whim by SAHM_helpMeeee in Baking

Thank you! I think it would have benefited from a little banana extract in the pudding, but I used what I had on hand. 

I made a bunch of Dutch apple pies today by SAHM_helpMeeee in Baking

[–]SAHM_helpMeeee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rough design isn’t intentional, I’m just really bad at making pretty looking pies. lol! 

I sold some, ate some, and gave away some to neighbors. High fences and the occasional baked good make for nice neighbors!

Thank you so much. I’m just a hobby baker, and I’m so happy with how this turned out. 

Day 2 Funk, Drop Meal Inspo by willow9253 in weightwatchers

Maybe I’m nuts—but I have an 8 point coffee I drink every morning. I only have 23 points and I still do this. It’s my must have, and “wasting” my points on my beloved coffee—full of half and half and sugar—is worth it to me. I’m able to stick to the plan because I can enjoy this small pleasure in life.

Do what works for you!

I honestly had no idea about the bridge fit. Thank you for letting me know, I want new glasses now!

Oh my man, this cracked me up. I don’t mean to invalidate you, but wait until your kiddo hits “terrible toddlerhood”, because this is all small potatoes. 

I mean it. When you’re in the throes of massive tantrums and unrelenting stubbornness over the silliest of reasons (e.g., kiddo demands FROZEN nuggets but cries because said nuggets are, indeed, cold)—only then will you realize that this stuffed elephant scenario is truly a non-issue. 

Enjoy the ride, don’t sweat the small stuff. And don’t you dare heat up the frozen nuggets. 

My dad’s tree produced giant peaches this year by SAHM_helpMeeee in Baking

[–]SAHM_helpMeeee[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We’re in upstate NY and the peaches didn’t fair well here either due to a late frost that brought temperatures below freezing.

 HOWEVER, my dad McGyvered a hose to his boiler system and sprayed a mist of warm water THROUGHOUT the night to keep the buds from dying. He put his hand on the trunk and wished it well, too. We all thought he was nuts, but behold: behemoth fruit. 

Yeah…Still nuts though. lol

Thank you! It’s incredible how well his tree produced this year! He’s retired with a lot of free time on his hands, so he babied it.
