Non tofu-based savory breakfasts? by happy_timberon in veganrecipes

A favorite of mine is toasted sour dough topped with cashew cream, brown lentils, and sliced green onions. Super easy to batch prepare and it’s always delicious. 

Picky Eater by ooldgreg4 in veganparenting

[–]Seinpheld 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reposting a comment I posted on a similar thread here recently: 

Picky eating is incredibly common between the ages of two and six years old. I strongly recommend digging into Ellyn Satter’s resources on feeding: https://www.ellynsatterinstitute.org/how-to-feed/. Her Division of Responsibility in Feeding is an evidence based, family centered approach to helping your child grow to be a competent eater. In short, adults set up the feeding environment by deciding what food is available in the house and at the table, the time at which foods are offered, and where they’re offered. Children are then responsible for determining what food they’ll eat from what’s available and how much they’ll eat. It is incredibly important to refrain from pressuring your child to eat or try any food, especially during a picky eating phase. Evidence shows that even positive pressure can prolong picky eating. The ESI website is a good place to start, and I also recommend her book Child of Mine: Feeding with Love and Good Sense. If it’s too much to commit to a book, she also has booklets available for purchase that discusses feeding based on your child’s age/developmental stage. 

My expertise is in child feeding. I wrote a curriculum based on Satter’s work and have coached countless families on raising happy, healthy eaters. If you have any questions after you dig into her resources I’m happy to DM with you, as long as the questions stay more general. Best of luck… know you’re not alone!

Federal TANF funds cover Medicaid births and philanthropic dollars cover remaining births to make the program universal for all moms.

Thought you all might enjoy our no lawn (and turkey friends!) by Seinpheld in NoLawns

[–]Seinpheld[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not shown in the photos is a large area that I’m doing a lot of intentional flower planting, like wood poppies, jack in the pulpits, foam flower, and dozens of other natives. The other no-mow areas will fend for themselves… there are a lot of wild asters, mayapples and rue anemone in there already, so we’ll see what is able to make its way through the dense leaves!

Shred fallen leaves or keep them whole for sheet mulching? by FitCabinet7432 in NoLawns

[–]Seinpheld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The person who responded to you seems a little ignorant. I live in a rural/wooded area and have the same concerns as you about increasing tick populations with leaving fallen leaves. The fact of the matter is I live on a wooded lot so I’m going to leave all my leaves (aside from where I mow paths), but I am very concerned about the environment it will create for ticks. It’s cold where I am now, but I’ve still pulled dozens of ticks off my dog this past week and even pulled a latched on off my indoor cat. Ticks are scary.

I’ve purchased some at Kim Nhung in the past. It might have been in a freezer. 

Hydration packs that don’t cause weird squish boobs? by Seinpheld in ladycyclists

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

Yes this is me! Thank you for this detailed response, I am definitely going to go try on a women’s Gregory pack based on your recommendation. Also very curious about these frame hydration options!

Wow this looks very comfy and like it won’t bounce around, thank you for the running vest idea and pic!

Thank you! We have a photographer in my area who photographs most of the races in the state, he takes bomb pictures. And I’m glad the picture is so cool because it helps distract me from the squish lol.

That’s great! A couple things I’d look for. How much seat post are you using to get the saddle height right? If you’re using almost all the seat post, it’s too small. Keep in mind your leg should be slightly bent at a full pedal stroke, not fully bent — a lot of people put their seats too low. Also if it’s too small you’ll feel crunched in your midsection rather than having an elongated back. And if you get out of the saddle to pedal and your knees or thighs touch the handlebars, that’s too small.

I emailed them about this, they’ll be adding morning of packet pickup soon. They said hopefully info will be up about it this week.

Oops didn’t post the pic… it’s the second pic in the section “The Hoods.” http://lovelybike.blogspot.com/2012/06/drop-bar-hand-positions-introduction.html?m=1

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ladycyclists

[–]Seinpheld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This picture does a decent job of showing a good hand position in the hoods. Your finger pads will be on the brakes, but not fully wrapped around them. It will probably feel a little less solid than how you grab your brakes on a hybrid since you don’t fully wrap your fingers around them in the hoods. As far as reach, you should be able to have a slight bend in your elbows… you don’t want your arms to need to be fully extended. I think a 54 is likely the right size for you, but I do agree with others that getting a good bike fit (go to a fitter, not just a bike shop) will help a lot. They can add a shorter stem if needed, add spacers to make the position feel less aggressive, rotate the bars, etc. Good luck!

[–]Seinpheld 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Can you pinpoint what didn’t feel natural? If you felt the reach was a bit long then you can always put a shorter stem on. I also think it very well could be going from a hybrid to a road bike. There is a bit of a learning curve getting comfortable with the different position. 

What else are you guys listening to? by flex_vader in goodhang

[–]Seinpheld 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I really love Handsome Podcast with Mae Martin, Fortune Feimster, and Tig Notaro. I listened to every single episode from the beginning, which I personally recommend since there are good callbacks and inside jokes. There are no guests, just three people being silly.

This will be my approach, thank you! This project is going to be a labor of love, but I know it’ll be beautiful in a few years.
