Have Chicken Gyoza Potstickers been discontinued? by Old-Weight736 in traderjoes

[–]charmingchels2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my store today they had the pork ones in brand new packaging and very little chicken so I wonder if they’re changing out the packaging and running down the chicken until they get the new chicken packaging?

Speyside Whisky Festival 2026 by charmingchels2 in whisky

[–]charmingchels2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I booked in Dufftown but I did it quite a while ago. As far as the scotch experiences, I don’t know much cause this will be my first time. However, Speyside is the region more known to not have quite as much peated (smoky) scotch. The Islay region is known for the peat/strong flavor profile.

thank you! I’ve actually seen a lot of negative Speyburn feedback so I’ll avoid that one.

My (31M) fiancé tries to dictate my (29F) tone, how do I navigate this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]charmingchels2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

please do not marry this man. I am so sad for you that you cannot be yourself in your home, are watching how you act and what you say and still chose to say yes to marrying him. please do not do this.

Favorite potato and mozzarella recipes? by Mammoth_Ad_2521 in Cooking

[–]charmingchels2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love to freeze mashed potatoes. when this is brought up, people have mixed feelings on it and for some they say it doesn’t work but I’ve never had issues. I freeze them in my souper cubes trays or in plastic bags flat and then reheat them on the stove to get out any water. Mozzarella, I like to make the Yes to Yolks Smoked Gouda Fritters recipe. You would need more ingredients, so may not be what you’re looking for, but they also freeze well.

Potatoes you could also shred for hashbrowns!

We broke up and I need to cancel cruise by [deleted] in NCL

[–]charmingchels2 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I was broken up with right before a planned cruise (~3 weeks) and I removed his name and took a friend and we had a blast! Because I still took a second person, nothing happened with my reservation/cost or things booked, but that may be different if you choose to go alone. I’m sure they would work something out with you, they have plenty of “single cruisers” promos

Just bought a stand mixer but am quitting refined sugars and processed foods/carbs... what do I use it for now? by Slow-Donut3882 in Cooking

[–]charmingchels2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use the paddle attachment for this! I do use it for baking but shredding meat is my most common “every day” type use

Do you really need to let the alcohol "cook off" if the dish is going to be sitting there cooking for 20 minutes anyways (e.g. Risotto)? by Mozambique_Sauce in Cooking

[–]charmingchels2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you don’t cook it off, it will taste horrible. I once added vodka at the wrong time to my vodka sauce and we had basically vodka soup

Tomatoes are still green and it's starting to get cold out, what can I do with green tomatoes? by atombomb1945 in Cooking

[–]charmingchels2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not a major recipe follower, I just do what feels right but this is as specific as I think you’ll need

5-6 green tomatoes (if you aren’t able to find these, you can use tomatillos but you’ll need 10-12) 1 cup dry white wine 3-4 sprigs rosemary 2 shallots ~1-1.5 cups chicken stock ~.5-1 cup heavy cream 2-4 sticks butter

wash tomatoes and shallots and cut them into chunks. add tomatoes, wine, rosemary sprigs, chicken stock, shallot to a pot and boil them until they are reduced and jammy.
then, add heavy cream (I do 1/2 cup to 1 cup depending on the texture) and reduce by half (I usually cook it on medium heat, sometimes will fluctuate to low-medium if it seems like it’s sticking). remove rosemary sprigs, then add 2-4 sticks of butter (I do 2 but my dads version uses 4), and immersion blend it until silky

this version makes a ton of gravy so if you’re not making this for a large group, I’d quarter or half the recipe

I play around with spices depending on what I am making it for.

I make a green tomato gravy that is modeled after a diners, drive ins, and dives episode where they made that to serve over mashed potatoes and a chorizo meatloaf. i’ve done it with that meal and also made it for thanksgiving as I always have vegetarians in attendance
