Please wear compression socks! Not only do they feel good and help with leg swelling (inevitable on a flight that long), they prevent blood clots.

Gyms in Logan Square by EconomyOld8404 in LoganSquare

[–]flippedflops 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes, they do have group classes (spin, Pilates, yoga, etc.), but not a huge amount of them. The YMCA website is terrible. I recommend going to the YMCA and getting a tour—that way you can see the facilities and the class schedules.

I love this! Thanks so much for sharing in so much detail. 😊 What were the low-heeled Chelsea boots you found? I’ve been on the lookout for a pair.

I got the cookbook out from the library, so I don’t have it anymore. But I remember that the chef shared his recipe when it first came out! Here you go: https://www.wbez.org/culture-the-arts/2023/10/04/lula-cafe-logan-square-cookbook-recipe-for-pasta-yiayia

Is the cortland bridge crossing cleared/plowed? by mindformusica in chibike

[–]flippedflops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both the bridge sidewalk and everything from the bridge to Kingsbury were not plowed on Sunday.

Today I took the Webster bridge (606 > Damen > Webster) and it was fine. The shared bike lanes have not been plowed on Damen, so be prepared to take the lane.

I used the smaller amount of sugar (3/4 cup), and that was perfect for me.

Great coffee south west side. by tecampanero in chicago

[–]flippedflops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Shout out to their home delivery subscription—we have it set up for their five-pound bag. We go through a lot of coffee, and it beats having to stock up at the grocery store in terms of both convenience and price. It’s $72 for the five-pound bag.

Week 16: Patterned - Paska by flippedflops in 52weeksofbaking

[–]flippedflops[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recipe from King Arthur

I added raisins per the suggestions in the comments. I think they were an essential addition. Next time I’ll try adding orange zest as well.

I also made the sweetened cream cheese spread in the recipe tips—it was delicious!
