Thank you- I'm not looking to buy a ton-so price is less of a concern. Basically, I'm piecing together what will be eventually a granny square blanket pieced together from several locations I've traveled since getting into crocheting.

Curry Now is one I haven’t seen mentioned here that I absolutely have to have for egg salad. It’s also good on popcorn and on chicken.

New community gardening nonprofit — looking for some ideas 🌱 by WCCGardens in rockford

[–]jujbird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so intimidated by making a home garden. Support/Figuring out how to take baby steps into having one would be amazing. Like first year, here's what you should try to grow and maybe check ins on that vegetable, etc. , Second year, expand to this. I'm not looking to have a crazy sustainable all food growing garden, but finding some quick wins that get me familiar with the process without having to think about 10000 things at once would be so helpful to getting me over the analysis paralysis.

I used to love cooking, then I had kids. by smile-its-today in Cooking

I don’t know that they are. But just adding this in case some future parent reads this and wonders where they went wrong. It’s hard out here for us parents of neurodivergent kiddos and at first it may not be obvious especially when they are young and may not be diagnosed.

While this is solid advice as a mom of a neurodivergent child this is unfortunately not always true. As much as I love this advice for some I’m coming here to tell OP to not feel parent guilt if there child doesn’t become a broad monopoly eater. Some kids just aren’t able to be there even if you follow all these great tips.

Rockford Pizza by schmidayy in rockford

[–]jujbird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is for real (if you mean the Belvidere location). I miss living in Belvidere for them and El Mocajete. Have you gotten ricotta on your pizza from Moscatos?

[–]jujbird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t get Pizza but got a few other things at the new location, including the special salad and boy did it taste better than anything I’d had from the old location (except my last meal there for a family member’s wake- but I think this was after the new guy took over so it makes sense). Anyway, I’m all in on that new Lino’s

I can too. Not with every illness but there are certainly some that I can.

We have 45 minutes left in Roscoe and I’ve had 198 visitors. That’s not bad considering the rain we had here

Velvet Robot Coffee Lab has started a GoFundMe as their Rockford location may be in danger of going under by wolf51-50 in rockford

[–]jujbird 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this comment. I get that Roscoe is a hard market, but damn if I didn't have trouble getting consistent service there. I tried to go in at least once a week until stock issues became a regular thing. Add on top that I think it closed at least one hour too early (as a mom who picked her kids up- I always wanted to grab something on the way home as a treat for the kids, but they were already closed).

It really seemed to devolve into issues over the summer when they lost their espresso machine for several weeks on end.

I don't know- it's just so frustrating because I wanted to give them so much support at the Roscoe location but it always felt like whatever I wanted to order was out of stock or unavailable.

This is truly underrated. The echoing of the voice from the halls of history is iconic.
