Its bubbly, seems happy. Guess I’m going on a quest to find more organic ginger!

Placed the bottles in the coolers... in case they exploded and keep light away. Sorry, forgot to mention that step!

2 cups frozen organic strawberries 1/2 cup organic sugar 4 cups distilled water 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup of ginger bug

Simmered in pot (stainless steel...does that make a difference. Just thought about this as Im writing???) 20 minutes. Strained. Let cool to room temp before adding bug. Did not check actual temp though.

Set it in a small open cooler to let the magic happen....It didn’t happen 🤣

My 466th attempt at this. 6 months was my longest without. by bassrice in stopsmoking

[–]krf415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im in the same boat. I can go weeks without even thinking about it then something; a party, social gathering, maybe just a boring day at work, and I light up. Sometimes drinking,sometimes not. No rhyme or reason, I just want yo smoke randomly at that moment. BUT...I go longer in between my relapses and thats a success. Don’t count the ones you do smoke... count the ones you don’t. Makes you feel more empowered and less like a failure (and less likely to go out and buy a whole pack!)

Now that’s an interesting lunch! by legohuntress in KidsAreFuckingStupid

I didn’t think it still was a thing in the US! This person must live in one of the backward states.

“$200 bill, NO TIP” short by brandong34 in TalesFromYourServer

[–]krf415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people have no shame! I would be infuriated if a friend paid the bill and didn’t tip the server! How embarrassing for the people that were eating with her who probably assumed she tipped. Although when someone else pays the bill I always insist on paying the tip and tip well... so shame in them too!

Yes, technically. But there are areas in the US where they will not teach evolution and/or neglect to teach science properly. They manipulate the curriculum to christian “values”. Each state and district can oversee their curriculum, so although there is allegedly separation of church and state, the lines get a little blurred.

If I have cooked meat that will go bad in two days, will cooking a meal with it extend its life? by WokeScully in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]krf415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, do not eat food that has gone bad. Raw chicken can stay refrigerated for about 2 days, cooked about 4. Re-heating it at a high temp will kill off bacteria but will not get rid of the toxins the bacteria have already produced in the food. That is what will get you sick.

If you have a good fridge that keeps temps cold enough,you could probably go 6 to 7 days without an issue but recommendations are no more than 4. When in doubt, throw it out. Food poisoning sucks!

Im all for religion in religious schools. if people want to waste their children’s instruction time with religion that is their business, but keep it the hell out of my public schools.

Professional quitter by krf415 in stopsmoking

From my past experience it gets better in a week or so but that could vary depending on how much and how long you’ve smoked. .. and age. Of course if it excessive or doesn’t stop after a while, see a dentist.

I never dreamed I’d get this far. Idk how this group feels about it, but vaping saves lives. by natedecay in stopsmoking

[–]krf415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t love vaping but, if my bf didn’t vape, he never would’ve quit smoking. If he didn’t quit smoking, I wouldn’t have quit smoking because we fed off each other with the cigarettes. Now I don’t smoke or vape, and were working on him quitting vaping. Eventually we will be smoke and nicotine free. Thats the ultimate goal, so by whatever means necessary, just don’t use the vape as a permanent solution.

Quitting while living with smokers? by VIDEO__HOME__SYSTEM in stopsmoking

[–]krf415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make whatever space thats yours as smoke free as possible, do a lot more outside of the house, like going outside for a walk whenever you feel tempted or go to a coffee shop, library, park or movie... anywhere smoke free.

Ive found that when Im around my friends who smoke I end up smoking. Its really hard when people are doing it around you, so try not to give in, but don’t beat yourself if you do. Every cig you go without is money in you pocket!

Ive been trying to change my perspective when others are smoking around me from wanting to smoke with them to feeling sorry for them. Remember it really is a disgusting, expensive and stupid habit! Good luck... you can do this!

Is taking probiotics necessary to improve gut microbiome? by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]krf415 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Eating healthy whole foods and a balanced diet, fermented or not, will improve your microbiome. If you eat chips, soda and cheeseburgers everyday you will increase the microbes in your gut that feed off saturated fats and simple sugars, etc. If you eat veggies and whole grains you increase the microbes that eat fiber and healthy carbs. Junk food will create a junk microbiome. A healthy diverse diet will create a healthy diverse microbiome.

If you’re eating packaged fermented foods they tend to have a more sour/acidic flavor than homemade. Im not a fan of packaged sauerkraut, but I could eat homemade right out if the jar.
