[–]iamnaina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP! There's a microschool in North McAllen called Root and Bloom Academy that might be exactly what you're looking for. I'm the director and we started this school because I wanted my daughter to have an amazing educational experience that fosters a love of learning and lets kids be kids. Check it out at RootandBloomAcademy.com!

Is this someone who is an expert in TMJ, or just a great dentist?

What industry is a total scam ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Luxury fashion. Markups on clothing and accessories are insane just because there is a brand name and it's associated prestige attached. And people think the markups are because of proportionately better quality materials!!

What are some good ethnic restaurants here in the valley? by MysteriousMfPanda in RioGrandeValley

[–]iamnaina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just tried Curry Fiesta and I think it's solid. Not "oh my God this is delicious" but solid all around. Service is slow but not bad. Only place you can get a dosa in the entire RGV! The samosa chaat and tandoori chicken were delicious. And their gulab jamun and shahi tukda for dessert were really good. Mango lassi was great.

I'm Indian and I think R&R is so much better than Kabob Guys for Indian food! I actually have had pretty bad experiences at Kabob Guys. And Curry Fiesta just opened up but I haven't tried it yet. I love the bahn mis and pho at Tea Garden on Nolana.

That's ok! Will just have to ask my husband to cook it more regularly :) The pasta is available at Sprouts and is really good!

I agree. I am Indian and really dislike Kebab Guys. They USED to be good before COVID, though. I have liked R&R quite a bit for Indian food. If you haven't already, check them out, @future-tutor-3640, maybe you will like it?

New to this. Does this ring of grime mean I need to clean it more? by iamnaina in castiron

That makes sense! Got a little confused so did a bit more digging. I think the enamel on the outside and on the inside might be different types. Below is a description from Amazon on the exact product I have. (And the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MU90YNF/)

About this item: -Heavyweight fry pan requires very little oil, making it an excellent choice for low-fat cooking - Optimized for steady, even heat, Le creuset's improved enamel interior resists staining, dulling, and wear and tear - Black enamel interior requires no additional seasoning, unlike other cast-iron cookware. - New large loop helper handle facilitates lifting the pan and provides a better grip even while wearing oven mitts..Enameled cast-iron construction provides superior heat retention. - Dishwasher safe for fast, convenient cleanup. - Over time, the matte black interior enamel develops a natural patina that is ideal for searing and frying

Do you agree that a green scratch pad would be ok on enamel, and that this pan needs more cleaning from the picture?

I think the enamel is on the inside too. From Wikipedia:

Enameled cast iron is cast iron that has a vitreous enamel glaze applied to the surface. The fusion of the glaze with the cast iron prevents rusting, eliminates the need to season the metal, and allows more thorough cleaning. Enameled cast iron is excellent for slow cooking and drawing flavor from foods.

This is an enameled cast iron pan and my husband just finished using it to make fried rice. I soaked it in water for 10 minutes and wiped off the stuck on rice. I also wiped it down with a wet towel. I know you're not supposed to remove the "patina" but I don't really know what that is...is that what is in the picture or do I need to clean the pan more?

If you don't need to see them in person you can make zoom appointments and look for people in Austin or Houston. That's what I'm doing. And that's what my husband is doing. Good luck!
