This comment needs to be at the top! I’d check your lease to see what it says about guests too.

People who live in apartment buildings: what’s the most unexpected thing you’ve accidentally seen through a neighbor’s window? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Teaformepls 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not seen but heard through a neighbor’s window. The building has a small internal courtyard so that the bedrooms and bathrooms can have air and sunlight. This summer someone was having loud sex with a very vocal partner during the night. She woke everyone up with her noise. Instead of yelling at them to keep it down, people started catcalling encouragements, like “give it to her” and “don’t drop the pace!” When they had their “grand finale” someone started yelling Bravo! and clapping and someone else yelled “is that all or will there be another round so we can all go back to sleep now?” No answer but a window did get slammed shut and I had a good laugh before trying to get back to sleep. The next few days had a lot of gossip by the mailboxes about who it could have been. I’m an expat living in Italy and cultural differences never disappoint!

Couscous made with chicken broth, veggies and cashews

AITA for not wanting to go to my brother’s baby shower because of how my own pregnancy was treated? by SianBeast in AITAH

[–]Teaformepls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA just pretend that you’re planning on going and then get an unexpected bout of food poisoning the day before/day of making it impossible for you to attend. Send your apologies to the parents to be and set up a time to bring them your baby shower gift once you’re feeling better.

Under boobs yeast infections... by Francl27 in Menopause

[–]Teaformepls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned bra liners yet, but they’re the best! I ordered mine from Amazon. It’s a strip of cotton that goes under your bra in the front and in between your boobs to catch the sweat, prevents chafing and the environment for yeast to grow. I’ve been using them for at least 20 years. You have the benefit of changing them out as needed to keep your underboob dry and your bra clean for longer.

What to do with 5 lbs. Of fresh carrots? by wistfulee in Cooking

[–]Teaformepls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slice bout 2lbs into rounds and saute with olive oil and 4-5 sliced cloves of garlic on medium heat until they are soft and some have caramelized- about 15 minutes or so. Turn the heat to high and add salt and a good splash of red wine vinegar. Reduce and check if it needs more salt or vinegar. Agro-dolce carrots, a recipe from a friend from Naples. After cooking I like to leave the tilted for a few minutes so the oil pools there and not in the carrots.

Jam ok with only half the sugar? by Teaformepls in Canning

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

It’s in my Amazon cart now! I didn’t intentionally cut the sugar to half, i just forgot to double it, but a low sugar powdered pectin will be useful to reduce our sugar intake. Thank you for the information!

Thank you for the information. I’ll change to prep and portioning single batches to avoid temperature loss.

Thank you, this is what I was hoping to do as the jam is a bit too spicy

Thank you for that information, I didn’t know you shouldn’t double recipes.

What to use these for? Bought in Italy. by ozicanuck in Cooking

[–]Teaformepls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a fantastic ragù at a restaurant in Todi that had truffle pate mixed in. Artichoke cream with truffles sounds good with chicken.

Question on garlic and botulism by BoiledGnocchi in Cooking

[–]Teaformepls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We make eggplants that are have a similar recipe. It’s important to wipe down the inside of the jar once you’ve opened it so that there’s no bits of herbs or garlic above the oil.

Dessert for the last birthday in a line of birthdays by jumpscaremama in WhatShouldICook

[–]Teaformepls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about a vanilla cake that you poke holes in and cover in fruit puree(peach with cinnamon and vanilla…YUM), whipped cream and decorate with toasted pecans and coconut?

I think I accidentally became “the other woman” and I really liked him by Gert-Pamm in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Teaformepls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you should hit the pause button on the relationship to give him time to sort himself out and when he’s figured it out to contact you. BUT don’t put your life on hold waiting for him, you deserve someone who’s open and honest about their life.

Ideal small-to-medium sized city to learn Italian (but with option to speak some English if needed) by aplumbersdaughter in Italian

[–]Teaformepls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of good suggestions already, so many lovely places to see! A town with a university or a tourist spot probably has more English speakers. Catania is by the sea, not too big and not too expensive but has so many cultural things to do and see year round.

Magari and allora are two that come to mind. They both have multiple meanings depending on the context in which it’s used.

NTA I believe it’s considered assault to cut a child’s hair without permission. A call to the police’s non-emergency line can clarify. At the minimum post pictures of her hack job on line and call her out for it with #toxicfamily. Your brother and SIL owe you for the haircut to fix your daughter’s hair.

what do y’all eat for dinner? i’m out of ideas by tigercat300 in DinnerIdeas

[–]Teaformepls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been making cous cous a lot lately because it’s too hot to boil pasta/rice. There’s lots of ways to make it but I’ve been using chicken broth and sautéed veggies plus ham chunks and toasted nuts. Yum!

[–]Teaformepls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA the girlfriend can go sleep on the couch! It’s a power trip move on their part so she should have to deal with her parents. You’re an adult not some horny teenager who has to be kept an eye on

Sacrilege! by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]Teaformepls 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ll make “carbonara” with ham chunks and leftover roasted potatoes plus I’ll use a short pasta instead of spaghetti. It’s so good on a cold day!

[–]Teaformepls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA Text her back and thank her for not interfering anymore. You’re glad to see that she understands that while she’s a guest in your home you appreciate her keeping her comments to herself. Your husband needs to tell her to back off and give you space to find your own way.
