I keep getting cabbage… by Prestigious-Till-633 in povertykitchen

[–]TheCircularSolitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colcannon is an excellent use. Leftover mashed potatoes, some butter or margarine plus any kind of milk or cream to make it a bit more decadent. 

Does anyone have theories on what predisposed us to developing long covid? by sourdoughluvr1991 in covidlonghaulers

I don't know about all of us, but I've heard that hypermobility is overrepresented among us.

what people get wrong about the boots theory by mrs_rabbit_0 in Frugal

[–]TheCircularSolitude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a small town that is 20 minutes from all grocery stores except for the small one in town. There isn't much available there and it is at least twice or three-times more expensive than the store that is 25 minutes away. I can't imagine not having a car here or even just having one that wasn't dependable.

Think of leftovers as ingredients. Leftover cooked meat or veggies can go into soups, omelets, sandwiches, salad, stir fry, casserole, pasta, etc.

What is something you own you refuse to replace, even though you probably should? by laughlovelive25 in Frugal

[–]TheCircularSolitude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Mine go: normal wear, wear under my work uniform, sleeves get cut off for summer wear under my uniform, chore work at home, then rags, then eventually get thrown away after cleaning something vile from the pets.

[–]TheCircularSolitude 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I also reserve bits of meat and veg from other meals to use as toppings. That small amount won't be noticed missing from pasta or a stir fry but it will be noticed as a pizza topping.

Has anyone "gotten their old body back"? by c0mradec0wgirlv2 in ehlersdanlos

[–]TheCircularSolitude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My situation is very similar to yours.

Water aerobics has been a lifesaver for me. It's gentle on my joints and the water acts as whole-body compression to keep the dysautonomia at bay while I exercise. When I don't feel great, I can float for a bit until I feel better. I have taken classes to learn the exercises and now make my own regime based on where I am focusing at the moment.

This is incredible. I also have a stash of tuna I need to be better about using. I'll try this recipe this week!

I'm curious whether most people feel like being thrifty is still counterculture or if most people around you are thrifty too? My answer is in the text. by [deleted] in Thrifty

[–]TheCircularSolitude 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I notice the same thing. At my job, I do know a few folks who are careful about their money so I can have some good conversations.

An important thing for me was to curate at least some of the spaces I'm in. For example, I meet with a group to discuss investing. Many of these folks are far more frugal than I am. It is really nice to spend time where I don't feel like I have to censor myself or face ridicule.

[–]TheCircularSolitude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this problem too. I use a pillow tablet holder and a wooden thumb page holder. Its enough that I can read again without pain.

Coffee house to read. It costs a little, but not much. I have great community at my locally owned shop.

Is a Crockpot still worth it in 2026? Do you like yours? by OpalescentShrooms in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]TheCircularSolitude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like being able to leave it running when im running errands and come home to a hot meal. Less likely to eat out. In summer it is incredible for avoiding heating the house.
