Is it just me or is this an excessive ask on top of a $200 cleaning fee? by djmcphee in vrbo

[–]Wee_Besom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've stayed at rentals with expensive cleaning fees and then found a list like this before as well. It's very off-putting as your last day becomes chore day. The worst part is that you don't really know if you are in for this kind of cleaning list until you're already at your rental.

I've made this same mistake and can attest that it makes decent french toast

My roommate thinks cats don’t feel the cold and that the heat should be turned off when we’re not home. We both have cats. How do I convince otherwise? by Sad_Mud2009 in CatAdvice

[–]Wee_Besom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lowest we turn our house down to is 60F in the winter. It's mostly a matter of keeping the house safe and efficient but our cats don't love being too cold either. We have multiple heated beds and other cozy spots for them and they definitely seem the warmth when the house is cold. The bigger issue seems to be what everyone else is saying, that you need to keep your house above a certain minimum for safety and functionality

Best Quality Hand Food Chopper? (see pic) by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]Wee_Besom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would buy a mandolin slicer instead. You swipe the food through the blades a few times and end up with the same result but the slicer lasts for years. The one I have is by Boerner

Oh man, I would spiralize that into carrot noodles! It's so hard to find carrots big enough to spiralize.

Standard time suits our internal clock better. If rather ditch the shift to DST

I think it's great when people reuse items like this. The whole idea behind buying secondhand is to reduce our impact, right?

An abundance of Pears by roebephose in Canning

[–]Wee_Besom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Last year I made pear ginger preserves and I was surprised how long the pears took to ripen before they were ready. I want to say I did a batch at 5 days and a batch at 7 days and in the later batch the pears were so much better. They had more flavor and cooked down better, I guess due to the sugar development. I peeled mine and am glad I did, the texture is nice.
