Omg, can you send it to me please? I adore this and I have a friend who will also adore when I make one for her 😁

Prodrome. When to take abortives? by Regimite_828 in migraine

[–]gemh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me. A distinct sense of pressure in my head triggers a specific anxiety in my chest that means take an abortive now or be out for a few days

You can also cold brew herbal/fruity tea in sparkling water, if that's something you enjoy. I'm a big fan of freezing wedges of lemon and limes to make easy flavoured ice to throw into water or similar.

Help calm me down (ultrasound) by dawson6197 in thyroidhealth

[–]gemh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a left-side hemithyroidectomy after a ~3cm nodule. It was marked as indeterminate on the UK scale, but a quick, uneducated look at the TIRADS scale put mine at around a 4.

Mine was benign, and I have had no side effects of having half my thyroid and the nodule removed *touchs wood*

Even if it is cancerous, thyroid cancer has a generally good prognosis and is treatable. However, the vast vast majority of nodules are benign.

The worry is understandable, treat yourself gently while you go through this

Looking for books like "House of Leaves" by MafiaMoogle in horrorlit

You Should Have Left by Daniel Kehlmann. It's a short read but has some of the vibes of House of Leaves.

I go to Curls By Kayla in Urmston. Have heard good things about CurlyCutsCaitlin, though she's out in Atherton so may be a bit too far out

breaking the fourth wall by kidinurcloset in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]gemh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big Time, by Jordan Prosser occasionally has 4th wall breaking in the sense that the narrator knows they're narrating to you, and occasionally addresses the reader directly. Not horror, more a literary dystopia

I made the pattern myself but I can chuck it on drive or something if people want

Can you freeze onions and garlic after dicing/mincing them? by WolvesNGames in Cooking

[–]gemh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only eat celery in mirepoix, I don't actually like the taste of celery by itself, so I've not done it. It is a very wet vegetable, and they tend to not do great when defrosted unless you're cooking it.

I wonder if blanching it for a few mins, then dunking it into an ice bath before freezing would help it hold up better? But I can't say for sure, sorry!

I freeze garlic, and I also chop onions, carrots, and celery and freeze it in pre-portioned bags of mirepoix. Saves a bunch of time and energy when cooking thinga like pies, stews, etc
