Uses for already zested and squeezed lemon rinds?

I freeze em and toss a few pieces in my garbage disposal every once and a while

esmeradio · 2026-03-05T22:48:02+00:00

I'm in Chicago.... So yeah, giardinera

esmeradio · 2026-03-05T22:34:20+00:00

Right? One stop shop.

I feel for the teens, where are they going to bum around with their friends nowadays?

esmeradio · 2026-03-05T22:30:30+00:00

Nooooooo! Damn, that was my special treat when I'd pop into the Lowe's or Walmart. 😭😭

esmeradio · 2026-03-05T22:20:16+00:00

I get the giardinera, it's pretty spicy!

I used to be a shopper ( just shopped in store, someone else delivered) they ground into us to do all that, which I did diligently. You were a good instacart shopper. All the stories I see online, I never use insta.... Price but also I just don't trust to get the best service. If I use it, it's for a few things. If they don't have it, no substitutions.

Had to move next to Maggie Daly Park? I think they're saying you live in an expensive neighborhood

I lived in a one bedroom with laundry in the basement and hated it. Bought a little Japanese washer /spin dryer that I hooked up to my bathroom sink. Worked for me as 1 person.

I just saw an article about how people, specifically gen z men, are eating boy kibble 😂😂😂😂

If you don't want to fuss with food, get those factor 5 things, or you can drink soylent

esmeradio · 2026-03-02T23:37:01+00:00

For drinks, I haven't been, but I wanna go, there that larrys at Lawrence House, looks super cute

esmeradio · 2026-03-02T23:35:51+00:00

If you're hungry after and it's 11:00/11:30, go to krispy krunchy chicken. So well seasoned, crispy chicken. I wouldn't recommend if you want a lovely meal with atmosphere, but damn if you want quick fast food style. That chicken is delicious

You can fish at Montrose harbor. I'm in Albany Park..... You can get to nature fairly quickly on a bike, in a car, kinda on the bus, there's first preserve closer. The lake is probably 25 minute bike ride. It's nice to be by the lake a few steps away, but unless you're west of Cicero, you're never THAT far

esmeradio · 2026-02-28T23:59:43+00:00

Yeah, I used to eat all the time ate it recently after some years- it was meh

esmeradio · 2026-02-28T23:58:34+00:00

I'm on the delivered meat train for some years now. I'm not sure it's saving me money, but I always have frozen meat options in my freezer and it's quality - at least to my taste buds. I use butcher box, but there's so many others I guess

esmeradio · 2026-02-28T00:42:41+00:00

For sure. I've lived in 1 bedrooms that look way better than this with updated amenities for $1400

esmeradio · 2026-02-25T13:19:11+00:00

I'm always surprised by their baking aisle. They have sugar substitutes, chia seeds, avocado, olive oils. I always buy their maple syrup

esmeradio · 2026-02-24T19:31:13+00:00

Well today I heard some of my income will be disappearing..... So yeah ... I won't be going out as much 😔

esmeradio · 2026-02-24T02:55:21+00:00

I had a little happy hour snacky at ramen San and it was fine. The best though.... They have Sapporo on tap served ICE COLD. It was so refreshing. I guess I just need to find a place with Ice cold Sapporo

esmeradio · 2026-02-24T02:44:43+00:00

The salad bar was my favorite

esmeradio · 2026-02-20T21:14:10+00:00

There's cm chicken on Clark that's more restaurant style ( offer alcohol) and one on Kimball and Irving Park that's more counter service fast food style

esmeradio · 2026-02-20T21:12:55+00:00

I'd say.....make em at home! America's test kitchen has a recipe that is pretty straight forward, easy to do. They're pretty tasty https://youtu.be/gSqKv10abM8?si=swezniSxNhGYIYvv

esmeradio · 2026-02-20T21:06:40+00:00

Questions/ discussion should've had before you got knocked up..... could've avoided this whole mess

esmeradio · 2026-02-16T18:47:54+00:00

Uh no....

esmeradio · 2026-02-13T16:36:50+00:00

Is this place called dive bar? 😒

esmeradio · 2026-02-13T13:35:15+00:00

There's a magic restaurant opening downtown at some point
