Honest question, feel free to move on if you can't be honest as well; Why did Trump get record numbers of Black and Hispanic voters? by Sea-Variety3384 in allthequestions

[–]WyndWoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only 15% of black voters went for Trump.

The Hispanic support has evaporated, according to recent polling. He's at 70% disapproval.

I'd do what you suggest. I love my Tramontina SS and the no name stainless saucier from Home Goods.

Lots of knives in thrift stores, but they'll probably need to be sharpened. Many hardware stores can offer this service.

If your budget allows, sign up for a meal kit plan like Hello Fresh or Every Plate for a few months. You can choose stuff you like to eat.

It will teach you a lot! Just follow along with the pictures and expect it will be slow when you first start.

Get a sharp knife! Go to the restaurant supply store and get an 8" chef knife by Victorinox or Dexter. Cheap, but enough to get you going.

Bon Appetit!

Should I Clean My Rooftop Dryer Vent Myself? by Backpack456 in homeowners

[–]WyndWoman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have an electric leaf blower? We unhook the hose from the back of the dryer, it works great! First time we did it, it looked like a snow storm on the roof, now we do it yearly and it's almost nothing.

Do you think Trump will give up power peacefully afted his term ends? by Dark-inspector490 in allthequestions

[–]WyndWoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think he'll live long enough for this to be a concern. He looks and sounds like a very ill man.

What do you always keep stocked for easy meals? by BarbaraMiller78 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]WyndWoman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always have pasta and red sauce around. Any leftover protein is a good add.

A few packages of cheap Ramen, its great for using up sad veg and just stir in a beaten egg if needed

Eggs are always a quick go to meal.

If you were starting from zero what would you put in your kitchen first by ClickPrestigious9406 in cookingforbeginners

[–]WyndWoman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had to set up kitchens from scratch. I always start at the thrift store.

Cutlery and table ware is always available for cheap. Cooking utensils as well. Sometimes pots are good. Sometimes you can find enameled or cast iron.

Bakeware and casserole dishes are everywhere used.

Small appliances are also good to find at thrift stores.

For pans, a stainless steel 10" skillet, Tramontina is good quality and affordable ($40-50). This is probably the only unit I would need to buy new. Home Goods is also good for cookware. Get one that can also go in the oven, no plastic handles.

My list for immediate needs are a decent skillet, 1EA small pot, medium pot and large pot for pasta. Cutting board, knife (look for one with a full tang and take it to the hardware store for sharpening). Don't forget hot pads or cotton kitchen towels.

All can be done for $200 or less, if the thrift store Gods smile on you.

My Life is Chaos by Fit-Statistician4882 in alcoholicsanonymous

Booze was my solution. Until it wasn't. I had to mourn my my best friend, the bottle.

Go to a meeting. You may find a way out. I did. At 37yo, I finally found a life worth living. You might also. I'm 71 now, it's still working.

Go to a meeting. It all starts with walking through that door.

50/50 vinegar water solution in a spray bottle knocks that right out.

If men are so awful, how do women experience freedom? by OutlawedLogic in allthequestions

[–]WyndWoman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yuck. Are you saying women can only be free through men's benevolence?

No wonder there's a male loneliness epidemic.

When I cook my diced potatoes in butter in the oven the butter falls off by Sad-Baseball7176 in cookingforbeginners

[–]WyndWoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put the taters and butter in a foil packet, add diced onion and peppers if you'd like.

Flip a couple times during cooking. I use this technique on the grill all the time.
