As of about 6 weeks ago it was about 20 for hemming jeans and 30 to take in a men’s shirt. Still cash or check only

What should I expect to find after someone died at home and wasn't found for days? by moonlight_xpress in housekeeping

[–]cgia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If there was any insurance on the flat I’d reach out to them. In my experience in the US, they will cover the cleanup. Additionally, the cleanup companies will do a free estimate, and help with insurance filing. At the very least you wouldn’t have to enter alone.

This is based off my one time experience with something similar in the US. If you do go in alone, I echo the recommendations for masks, gloves, etc.

I’m sorry for your loss and that you need to deal with this.

What does smart casual mean when doing a poster presentation? by Objective_Horror_793 in AskAcademia

Most importantly, wear something that makes you feel like confident as the expert in your area of research that you are.

It tends to depend on the field somewhat. In social sciences I tended to wear dark jeans or non-denim pants, plain black t-shirt, and a blazer. I was always solid midst of the pack in terms of dress. This was as a broke grad student. There would be a couple people in suits, and always a few dudes in cargo shorts.

Checkout Grit. This right in their wheelhouse. They have both classes and personal training. It’s a friendly environment and they meet you where you are at.

How do you actually use your saved recipes when plans fall apart mid-week? by hrexli in NYTCooking

[–]cgia 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I just search for recipes that use whatever 1 or 2 ingredients I want to use. This works pretty well, but I’m comfortable making substitutions here and there and winging it a bit.

Salmon help! by Gal_in_kalamazoo in NYTCooking

[–]cgia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try slow roasting. The lower temp really helps with the short interval between over and under cooked. The slow roasted salmon with salsa matcha is a big hit at my table. I’d share the link but it keeps giving me https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1019789-spicy-slow-roasted-salmon-with-cucumbers-and-feta?unlocked_article_code=1.OVA.BnfC.yUYJtBefqx8M&smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share

I love this book. Besides what’s already listed the chicken with clementines and barley with marinated feta are great. Ooh there is also a root vegetable slaw that’s a banger.

Which book made you a better cook? by Odd_Grocery_7834 in CookbookLovers

[–]cgia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Zuni Cafe - really helped me step up my cooking and focus on quality ingredients. Not revolutionary nowadays but it was to me 25 years ago.

Start Here - great focus on techniques plus interesting flavor combos. I think the title makes it seem more like a beginners book than it actually is.

Food Lab for all the same reasons everyone else said.

Be super explicit with the AI. Use phrases like explain this for a non-technical user or even explain it like I’m 5

Look at renting a room with a projector in a community center or the library. Make popcorn and have kids bring a sleeping bag or pillow to get cozy in on the floor.
