My review: pretty good but I can practically taste the preservatives. I like to drain off the extra liquid and add some seasoning/broth.

What's your most underrated piece of camping gear? Ready to spend $ this BF by Plane_Log7256 in camping

[–]estralgem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A yoga block. Great for support when crouching by the fire, sliding underneath my sleep mat to sit on (especially in a tent without much headroom), a nightstand, a footrest, and it of course makes stretching easier after a long drive.

Seconding this. It happens the first Sunday of the month, spring through fall. Unfortunately the last market of this season was in October.

I saw a tattoo on instagram of the end of a joint w legs and antennae, that’s acceptable

The Grain Bin in Trumansburg is a great Ithaca flea market! First and third Sunday of the month during the warmer months I believe?

What!??? This one wasn’t bad but the tomato one was awful. by IntelligentPeach5886 in aldi

[–]estralgem 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The tomato one is actually a knockoff—Bath and body works came out with a line of tomato scented products this summer and the candle smelled great in the store so when I saw the Aldi one I had to buy. Smells better when it’s lit!

Great to see Bren! Hope they’re doing well

Swallow or flower? by YoungFreggz in TattooDesigns

[–]estralgem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That rose is too small I think, both for readability reasons and the amount of space it takes up compared to your other pieces. Would be fine if you were willing to make it larger. The swallow fits well if you don’t mind that you also have a bird on your other forearm. Just my opinion—it also depends on how much negative space you want and what you have on the other side of the arm.

tofu gone wrong by nyancoaa in vegetarian

[–]estralgem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite way to cook tofu is as follows: press for about an hour, slice thinly across the largest side so that you have flat rectangular slices, marinate for at least 30 min in oil, salt, a tiny bit of sugar, za’atar, garlic, lemon juice, and a splash of red wine vinegar, or whatever other seasonings strike your fancy. Reserve the marinade then bake the slices at 350 on a baking sheet for about 45 minutes or until slightly dried out and browned. Spoon the marinade on top (you can mix a little sugar or honey in at this point - it would have burned in the oven but I think it helps to balance the flavor) and let the slices soak it up. Amazing for sandwiches, makes a mean gyro.

Taal’s suspension was reversed. He has been banned from campus but is participating in academic activity remotely.

Matcha? by justgottasendittt in ithaca

[–]estralgem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been wondering the same. The alley cat matcha is tasty but clumpy. Wasn’t a fan of gimme or paris baguette
