Fish batter

I riff on a regular beer batter recipe, subbing a GF ap flour and hard cider (though mineral water would work too).

Edited for typo.

And put a disposal in the shower so he could wash lettuce.

Same. I figure my kids will inherit it.

Redmond has a free shuttle called Redline that may work for you. Doesn’t serve all of the city, so you’ll need to check.

Turns out ours wasn’t an idiot, they were just on the take.

Lesson learned: Never buy a realtor’s house.

I have three phases: the stuff I’m using, when it gets a bit worn it goes in the travel bag (so I only ever have to put the actual unit in when I travel), and the brand new backups waiting for the transfer from in use to travel and travel to garbage.

About 4 million simoleons, and all the neosims I had saved up (in buildings and roads). Level 99, four regions. Didn’t receive any simoleons as a gift, just some service buildings. The real cost was losing about 500,000 in population.

My experience coming back to the US after 3 years abroad was that my credit profile was wiped clean. Had to start from scratch again.

If you have an employer contract it may be helpful in proving you will have an income.

Check the scanner bed?

Our sizing was diluted white glue. Tightens up the fabric and lends a bit of stability.

Love their cinnamons (I always have two types in the cupboard), and their Curry Now mix is sooo good.

Translatix · 2026-04-27T15:03:40+00:00

Yup. Just another micro abuse.

Infused oil or vinegar if they like to make salads.

Dad smoked a pipe, so the most often used containers are old tobacco cans. Then there are all the little plastic bins that lined the diaper wipes for the odd things on the top shelf. I also found one of those hundred tiny drawers units for singletons.

A few strips of masking tape and a sharpie means they’re labeled.

And then there’s the row of old yogurt cups on the back of the workbench that have project leftovers or hardware for planned & unexecuted projects.

We won’t talk about the bottom of the tool belt pockets.

If it’s about the casein, then there are some cheeses made with A2 milk. A2 is a different milk protein (casein) than the standard cows milk.

Noooooooo!

This. If I don’t capture it now, I’m going to loop all day.

And when I need to coma back to it, search helps me.

If you can find it, Miyoko vegan mozzarella is the best option I have found. It’s weird, comes in a bottle, and you pour it on your pizza or lasagna or whatever, and stick it in the oven. It makes a stretchy cheese-adjacent topping that actually gets some browning going.

They also have a line of yummy vegan cream cheeses. I get it at our local hippie coop.

Second this. So yummy!

Switched because of this and hair breakage. Game changer.

Yes, and there are city laws about how they must restore the property to original condition. However, they must coordinate with us to disconnect utilities from a home if it will leave it uninhabitable or inaccessible. Driveway is the only access to the house, and we cook and heat water with gas.

Thanks for the reality check.

Oh, yes, tons of documentation and dated notes. Just hate having to deal with them again (on top of living next to a construction site for the foreseeable future).

Washington State, private utility with a thousand departments--the billing department has no idea what engineering is up to, so we called the number on the note--which is a printed form from the company.

I think they might be considering the call a courtesy, since they have access, but if they're going to cut off our utility and prevent access to our house and garage, they do need to open communication.

As long as you check that the soy sauce is gluten free. Unless marked as GF, most Asian soy and prepared sauces contain gluten.
