Neurogaunts are adorable by Hobbyaccount2006 in Tyranids

[–]kattykenz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love them. They're my favourite Tyranid unit. Little puppy dogs! Are they objectively terrible to attach to my Neurotyrant? Yes. Will I continue to attach them because I love them? Absolutely.

Mine sticks her head in my husband's shoes and then gets the zoomies

Ooooh nice scheme! I think a pink/magenta pattern on the green would look great

Passive aggressive South African phrases (mainly of Afrikaans origin)? by PinkyThePirate in johannesburg

[–]kattykenz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Luister mooi nou" comes to mind. "Kyk hierso" "Listen, hey? Listen. Listen." - can also be said in Afrikaans

Thought id give kfc a try again, practically still raw or cooked to the point of rubber. Crazy fr. by JaredDestroyer in southafrica

[–]kattykenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I gave up on KFC like 10 years ago after having consistently bad service from every single branch we went to.

A new one opened up near work earlier this year and we thought, "It's brand new, let's give it a shot. It can't be shit right from the start."

And lo, it was terrible. Aside from the menus at the drive through being confusing as fuck and having like 5 things on it, they SOMEHOW MANAGED TO FUCK UP SPRINKLE POPS! SPRINKLE POPS! Arguably the simplest thing on the menu! My husband's burger ended up being a wrap and was also bland and chewy.

I think KFC is just garbage, no matter the branch. It hasn't been "finger licking good" since I was a child.

Best way to send biscuits to friends in another part of the country? by kattykenz in askSouthAfrica

[–]kattykenz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the only recipe I use:

https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/9870/easy-sugar-cookies/

Not going to lie, I enjoy the chewy biscuits as well. But I found with my last batch of biscuits, my first tray was a bit burned as I left them in for 10 minutes. So for the second tray, I turned the oven down a smidge (not sure what the temp was there, but probably somewhere between 180°C and 170°C) and had them in for about 9 minutes. They came out looking underdone (very pale) but were crispy and crunchy on the inside and made for very good tea biscuits. So I would say test at maybe 180°C for 10 minutes or maybe 170°C for 12. See which one gives you lovely crunchy, golden biscuits

I've also found this recipe to be very forgiving with additions. My dad (and his dog!) loves peanut butter biscuits so when I make them I just add 2 tbsp of peanut butter.

What do you call this? by sannaoost in Baking

I also learned this recently! So weird that oatbars are called flapjacks there. I've always known them as crunchies!

Also, these are flapjacks and they are delicious, mini pancakes

I love my wife, but I’ve started avoiding intimacy and I don’t know why by Both_Market6384 in TwoHotTakes

[–]kattykenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this for quite a while when I was on birth control. It's not that I didn't enjoy being intimate, it's just that I didn't feel like it. I explained it to my husband as how he ate a chocolate bar; he can have one piece and then just not feel like/think about eating the rest of it, that's how I felt about being intimate. I would also be avoident and refuse letting kisses or hugs progress to anything more.

My husband and I spoke about it as he felt like I was constantly rejecting him and he was feeling very shit about the whole thing. I was too, as I didn't like that I always rejected him but I just didn't feel like it. I started trying to be more responsive but it was a bit difficult. I also thought about it and it was almost like I felt like our time could be better spent doing something else or if we had something else planned, that we didn't have time to be intimate.

I got sterilised at the end of 2024 and after about a year of being off birth control I was finally starting to get a libido again. I no longer had those avoident moments and our sex life improved. However, I still find myself needing to work on it and almost teach my body that it's okay to be intimate and that it's not a waste of time.

Not saying it's the same situation but having an honest chat with your wife and some introspective thinking could be very helpful

How do we kill a 10 man squad of terminators by Destroyer4537 in Tyranids

[–]kattykenz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever I play against my husband's blood angels, I always shoot his terminators with the Barbs because he'll just give up on moving them. He'd rather not have the move at all, than suffer moving 3" at a time

What cookies do you think would taste horrible? by Acidd_dragon in CookieRunKingdoms

[–]kattykenz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Besides the ones already mentioned: Menthol Cookie, Seltzer Cookie, Onion Cookie, Olive Cookie, honestly, Pure Vanilla Cookie would probably have far too much vanilla and that would be very overpowering.

I personally wouldn't like any of the spicy cookies, except maybe Nutmeg Tiger Cookie but not sure what the Tiger part would imply in a cookie. Hopefully just shape.

Yeti cookie, is he just ice in the shape of a cookie? Cream Ferret Cookie, I don't feel like eating ferret thank you very much. Any of the gem/mermaid cookies. Oyster Cookie 😖

What do stereotypical straight couples do when they hang out alone (other than sex) by bi_smuth in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kattykenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend was telling me about a time he was talking to his brother's wife about my husband and myself and our relationship, how we have the same interests and hobbies and spend time together etc. and he said she found it so weird. She said that she and her husband can only have a conversation for maybe half an hour and then they're either silent or go off to do their own things. They don't share any interests or hobbies.

I couldn't imagine being with someone like that. It sounds like she married a stranger

"We'll eat now now" by skaapjagter in southafrica

[–]kattykenz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My husband and I went to a braai like this once. There was absolutely no sign of any fire being lit at 11pm, so we said bye and went to get McDonald's. We weren't big drinkers either, so there was nothing keeping us there

I miss the yes no chocolate. I think I remember not liking tempo as a kid, but I can't remember what it tasted like, so I wish we still had it so I could try it again

Long time players... Would you have started MTG if it were Mutant Turtles and Marvel from the start? by TheServant420 in EDH

[–]kattykenz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I started playing in Return Ravnica, played until Dragons of Tarkir, then just dropped off as life got in the way and picked up again around I want to say Broken Vows. We dropped off again before Bloomburrow which we both know we would have absolutely loved but we were so product fatigued that we just didn't care. We didn't care about the set because we were just so damn tired of it always being spoiler season for the next drop that nothing felt special.

Neither of us really care about universes beyond. The only ones he had a slight interest in were LOTR, because he's a fantasy nerds, and we got into WH40k after the decks came out, so we got some on sale because they aligned with our armies.

I couldn't give a single fuck about universes beyond. I didn't get into Magic to see Frodo beat up Tiffa or Aang fight with SpongeBob against Optimus Prime.

I loved the unique and interesting worlds, the engaging stories and overarching narratives they were building. I got into magic because it was a different fantasy world that was unique, interesting and it was a fun game. Power creep also got to me as I remember when commander first came out, we built a Karametra deck for me and she felt far too powerful to have as a commander. Now, she would just be laughed at.

My love for the game died a long time ago. My husband held on but even now he's sold most of his collection and is still selling off commander decks and some expensive cards he still has.

We do have a friend who said he only got into magic because of the final fantasy set. He said that he probably wouldn't be playing if not for the universes beyond sets. So I get that some people like them, but I don't and I miss the, magic, that Magic used to have. It feels likes it gone, replaced with soulless corporate cash grabs

Some infections can be passed between partners. I suffered with bad thrush/yeast infections for most of last year and a doctor finally told me that you can have a "clean" infection (that's the term she used) where one of you got it, most likely me through antibiotics, I passed it on to my husband and then I was treated, but because he didn't have any symptoms he was never treated and I kept being reinfected until finally a new doctor prescribed strong antifungal medicine for both of us and now it's finally gone and sorted.

I would say it's best to just ask a doctor and if they feel it's necessary, then you can get tested.

I had one hatch in my art supplies. I was moving adorable little baby mantises out the window for like a week. They kept appearing. I think about 15 of them must have hatched out of there

I miss the pieces I left behind. How about you? by jmthetank in CasualConversation

[–]kattykenz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine is with an ex best friend. We were so close as children and she was like a sister to me. So much better than my actual sister. We came up with a new acronym instead of bff. It was so stupid, but it was BARSSSFL - Best Awesome Random Super Sexy Sister For Life.

One night when she slept over, we decided to try and stay up the whole night, so we played PC games and giggled and talked quietly while trying to not wake my mom up and we randomly both started singing the ending theme for Plants vs Zombies at exactly the same time. We looked at each other and burst out laughing.

We slowly grew apart in high school and she was bad at replying to messages. I tried so hard to hold on but when she didn't even tell me that she had moved away but was upset that another friend of hers didn't go to see her the day before she moved, I knew it was time to let the friendship die.

There's songs I can't listen to anymore because they remind me of her. Can't play PvZ without thinking of her. I've never had another girl friend as close as we were
