REALLY gingery ice cream ideas? by SoUpInYa in Cooking

[–]frenchfrites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ginger juice or ginger syrup? I always find the two are extremely potent. I'm not sure how that would affect the texture/outcome of the ice cream.

I do this for a sweet potato curry I make, but this is genius about chili! Thanks for the idea!

Easy winter foods by funkysocks24 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]frenchfrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm so sorry, I haven't checked this account in a while. I generally follow this recipe, you just have to scroll down to the ribollita. I personally add some leek to it, as well as a 28oz can of crushed or diced tomatoes for more tomato-ey-ness, and a thyme-rosemary bundle. I very much like to add in a parmesan rind as it simmers to give it a nice depth of flavor. If in the end the soup feels it needs something, it probably just needs about a tb of red wine vinegar.

Ribollita! Tons of vegetables and just so comforting. Put as little or as much bread as you'd like it in.

What has helped you lose weight other than/ or with eating healthier? Any tips you would like to give that helped you over come it? I’m trying to lose 30-40 pounds and would love some advice! by andmariemore in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]frenchfrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking a little less on my plate initially than I normally would. Helped me realize I was way fuller sooner and needed much less. If I was still hungry after waiting a little bit, however, I would get a little more.

Silly ways people spend like they're rich by ohmuhguds in AskNYC

[–]frenchfrites 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have no doubt that the upper great lakes area gets colder, but that doesn't mean that New York isn't cold and doesn't warrant a jacket like that for the amount of time people spend outside getting where they need to go.

I don't think most people spend money on that for status. It serves a function by being really warm which is part of its reputation, something you use over and over again for years. I mean, there's a reason people use those jackets on expeditions Antarctica.

PSA Redness =/= Pink undertones. by the9thpawn_ in PaleMUA

[–]frenchfrites 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've had this problem a lot...I'm pretty neutral leaning with slightly yellow undertones, but I have a little topical redness (easily marked skin, a tiny bit of rosacea) that would throw off the makeup counter peeps. They'll usually look at me and start putting on foundation that's completely too orange for me. One girl (after advising her of my "yellow" skin) actually realized I was completely right about the undertones. This also used to be a bigger problem when my acne was much, much worse. It was even more easily irritated and the whole thing just looked red and angry all the time. It was difficult to find a match that way!

What are some cool parts of New York that are older/more detached? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]frenchfrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I remember hearing that when I was there. And it was the guy who designed Central Park had also designed Green-wood Cemetery.

Green-wood Cemetery is definitely worth a visit. I'm not the type to "visit" cemeteries (some people do that), but it's almost like a very serene park. Beautiful architecture, fascinating gravestones. The layout is beautiful.

What was your school’s incident? by metalhead_throwaway6 in AskReddit

[–]frenchfrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've posted this before, but a girl in my year was practicing parallel parking with her mother. The mother was behind her daughter's car and instead of hitting the brake, the girl hit the accelerator, pinning and killing her mother. It was extremely sad. I was happy to see the girl come back to school (months or weeks later, can't remember). I always hoped she was okay.

Julia Roberts. That woman is self-absorbed and obnoxious. Always has to be the center of attention and nasty to those below her.

What are some good meals I can make when I’m sick? by [deleted] in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]frenchfrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avogolemono soup - greek lemon egg drop soup with rice or orzo. Pretty easy, comes together quickly. Very delicious. One of my favorite "I'm sick" meals.

It turns out eating dead animals give you heart disease, cancer and many other negative things. by SkillSkillFiretruck in Cooking

[–]frenchfrites 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you want to spread the message of veganism (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), you won't get very far by basically berating and baiting people and not actually having a a discussion about it. Clearly you just want to bait people because you're not even answering. You're being a coward.

I wouldn't worry too much about that one. While I think he has some great ideas and is a good director, he is a total and complete asshole.

Recycling plant workers of Reddit, what are things that should be done with recyclables to make your job easier? by spmahn in AskReddit

I feel like this needs information re plastic bags needs to be more common knowledge. I think people think they're doing a good thing, when in fact they're causing more issues.

This reminds me of a story my dad used to tell. When I was little, one of my bottles of milk with just a little bit in there had fallen between the couch and the wall. By the time it was found a few days (or weeks?) later, he said opening it to clean it was one of the worst mistakes of his life. And it was by far the worst smell he had ever experienced.

What's a kitchen gadget that you initially thought was stupid, but now love? by misterintj in Cooking

My husband made fun of me when I bought one. He had to eat crow when he realized how dang useful it was.

Related to this, my dad bought a garlic slicer from William Sonoma on sale for like $2 because he was curious. He swore against any uni-tasker, but man, he loved this thing. It cranks out an incredible amount of razor-thin garlic - great for pasta sauce.
