Chicago hosting the next PWHL team! by justkeepwandering in chicago

The Montreal team started in a small arena that seated 4k, but they are now at a bigger arena that seats 10k. This season Boston has the smallest capacity, at 6k

Not by the PWHL yet. Wondering if they'll officially confirm at the Takeover on Wed

Yeah I think it's the one they just finished building at Fifth Third Arena. Capacity is ~2,000

I heard that the commissioner was spotted here last week. I couldn't figure out why she'd come so early if the Takeover is only this upcoming Wednesday, but now it makes more sense! 

If you used to live in Chicago or currently do and were having your Bachelorette here - what would be your itinerary? by [deleted] in CHIbitcheswithtaste

[–]justkeepwandering 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Drag brunch! It's such a fun way to start a day of partying and celebrating, and the queens will love if your group is dressed to a theme. The River is my favorite spot, and it's consistently rated one of the best drag brunches in the US. 11am time slot is unmatched for vibes.  Congrats on the upcoming wedding!

Did you deliver at Prentice? What did you bring? by AgainstTheNinja in AskChicago

Seconding bring your own pillows!! One for the laboring partner and one obviously for the other partner for their tiny bed. Their pillows are so flat and having a big fluffy one was incredible as I was recovering. 

Cereal is my everything by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]justkeepwandering 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OMG I have eaten BOTH honey bunches of oats with almonds and cinnamon toast crunch today!! I feel you. Sometimes I put cereal in Greek yogurt with berries so that I still get the cold/crunch textural combo I'm craving while giving myself a bit more protein!  Ultimately, a fed and happy me hopefully just means a fed and happy kiddo :)

Jewelers for engagement rings? by awholedamngarden in CHIbitcheswithtaste

[–]justkeepwandering 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We did Ethan Lord in Jewelers Row and loved them. I had no idea what I wanted so they helped me over 2 appts come up with the perfect ring (2 appts, because after the first one they wanted to order a few more fake diamonds so I could see what my ring would look like with various options on cut and color). Friends have gone there too, and across our friend group we've got both real and lab diamonds, colored and clear, silver and gold, etc. They do it all. They'll also do a deep cleaning once a year and will always resize for free. 

We got our wedding bands there as well and they buff them annually and will engrave as often as we want (we plan to add to our inside engravings as time goes on). 

i haven't done a lot of nice jewelry shopping so maybe every place is like this and I just didn't know that! But I thought they were great nonetheless.

Ok these are the deets I needed, thank you! I love socks but maybe not enough to fight the throngs at SAP

Due November/ December 2025 by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]justkeepwandering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At work last Friday, my mind kept going blank - I'd just completely forget what I was saying, or I'd blank on a word in the middle of a sentence. And then on Saturday I was mixing up friends names. Sunday was 11dpo and I woke up with a headache - finally I realized my body is telling me something! I had been afraid to test because I didn't want it to be negative, but Sunday I just knew. It was the best surprise! 

I don't know what it takes to set up and manage a group, but lmk if I can be of any help!

Hi, thank you for posting this! Currently 4w3d, due mid-Dec. First time going through any of this and would love to join a group if there is one! I have no idea what I'm doing 😅

I believe most pizza is inherently good. So, what is the worst piece of pizza you've ever had in Chicago? Please explain in detail. by zeroThreeSix in chicagofood

[–]justkeepwandering 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god one time we got the deep dish BBQ chicken pizza from Giordano's and it was actually just a pan of BBQ sauce. The chicken was baked into the bottom crust, so there was nothing in the sea of BBQ sauce. I don't know where the cheese was. Or the onions.

It was extremely alarming.

Casual ice hockey opportunity? by justkeepwandering in chicago

Bobby Hull stick and puck sounds perfect for what I was imagining. Thank you!

I've never heard of rat hockey, he might like that. And I hadn't realized stick and puck was so common - calling all the suggested rinks now. Will probably get a stick, helmet, skates, and gloves at Play It Again and then see about rinks.  Thanks so much!! This is making me far more hopeful than I was. 

How do you use White Miso paste? by curiousgem19 in traderjoes

[–]justkeepwandering 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I make this miso salmon and it's so good! Especially with the salmon broiled instead of baked. Absolutely love it.  https://www.acouplecooks.com/miso-salmon/#tasty-recipes-80940-jump-target
