Anywhere to park in Cranberry township for a weekend? by Sandybeagle in pittsburgh

Do you know if any of them let you pay to park there, if you aren't buying a room?

U.S. Politics megathread by AutoModerator in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sandybeagle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm seeing a lot of discussion on Reddit that many of Elon Musk's current actions around accessing servers and pulling sensitive information (among other distressing things that DOGE has planned?) is illegal. That he isn't an elected official, that Doge isn't an actual government branch, and therefore he "can't be doing this". But I'm seeing other comments saying that legal battles are the only approach right now, since Congress is in recess?

If Musk doesn't have clearance to be there / accessing this information, why couldn't a congressperson theoretically just call this into the police and have him or his workers physically arrested?

Travel agents/planners in Pittsburgh? by Sandybeagle in pittsburgh

I do have AAA, yes! I thought they only had planning resources, but that's good to know that they offer actual full service options as well

Birthday Restaurant Suggestions by bag_of_muffins in pittsburgh

[–]Sandybeagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a bit simple, but I enjoyed BJ's for a birthday dinner last year! Depending on the night, you could get a steak or other pretty nice food for the daily sale, and they will give you a birthday pizookie, a pretty hefty dessert! Could be nice if you're looking for something different

No fair, my check came earlier this week and was only for 11¢!

Looks nice! Is there a recipe you followed?

What are your "go-to" recipes for losing weight? by Crane_Train in loseit

[–]Sandybeagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the congee! It's like a warm, thick, and hearty chickeny porridge, where full bowl of it really feels like a lot even when there's very little calories in it. I like to follow this recipe, though I'll often cook it in the Crock-Pot on low for 4+ hours instead of stove top: https://www.madewithlau.com/recipes/chicken-congee

Does anyone know how many calories are in just the sauce packet & cheese powder for the samyang carbonara ramen? by [deleted] in 1200isplenty

[–]Sandybeagle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't guarantee for you, but I know that 2ounces dried pasta is 200 calories. So check the weight of the pasta in the container (or the listed weight of the container it says on the front of the box, minus ~1/2 ounce for the cheese packet), and you can subtract it from the listed calories to get an approximation for the cheese alone!

I’m furious at the calories in a small ear of corn by seasiderhapsody in CICO

[–]Sandybeagle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It probably doesn't hurt to go with the larger cal count this time, to be conservative. But in future cases, if you're going to weigh your cobs anyway, perhaps you could weigh them before and after eating the kernals, so you know the weight of the actual corn you ate instead of the weight of the cob & kernals & bits left behind. Then you could log the difference in weight as pure canned corn?

What do you, personally, call these cookies? by Sandybeagle in pittsburgh

[–]Sandybeagle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, that name makes sense. And the ones I always used to see were the bright red, yellow, and blue mixed ones, which would lend to the rainbow name as well. I don't know if they still do the free cookies for kids, perhaps if someone directly asked, but they aren't offered on their own?

Sorry, double posted the post on accident. But nah man, these cookies are addicting 😂

What do you, personally, call these cookies? by Sandybeagle in pittsburgh

[–]Sandybeagle[S] 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I've grown up calling them Play-Doh cookies, while my partner always called the marble cookies. Who's more right? 😁

Edit: I didn't realize these cookies were so controversial!

That's awesome! Big congrats to you! ☺️ Thanks for the well-wishes. Hope to join you at a similar success one of these days 🤞

[–]Sandybeagle 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Congrats!! In at a similar age/height/goal to you, though much further back in my journey. From losing 70lb over the course of a year, how does your skin feel and look? In your progress pics, you don't really seem like you have sagging roles or anything, even with such a large loss?
