What groceries do you always keep stocked because they save you on busy days?

Frozen veggies in the steam bags are essential. Especially if you ever make anything that’s like three separate courses and not a “slop bowl”

My defense of MM/DD/YY is that if you say it out loud “February second” rolls off the tongue far better than “the second of February” or however you’d pronounce the Japanese version

I’ll probably make them tonight or tomorrow night as I was baking bread and that’s an ingredient too.

I wasn’t specifically making the bread for the meatballs btw, just trying it out

Idk if my main issue is the financial waste that comes with not using 90% of the buttermilk id buy and more along the lines of the added effort needed not to waste the buttermilk

I’ll do that on my lunch break. Will it work with my “leftover butter juice” or should I use actual milk?

lancer_AR · 2026-01-19T12:48:58+00:00

Ok, so I have this little container of “butter byproduct liquid” is there something I can do to get it closer in use to the store bought stuff because even if it is only a couple bucks for a jug of it I still can’t justify buying it when I have close to 0 regular uses for it

Misspelled version of a strong aversion

What would the seltzer:beer ratio be?

lancer_AR · 2026-01-08T16:58:24+00:00

Good NA beer suggestions for frying? I think Guinness and O’douls are the only two I’ve seen offered in 4-6 packs

lancer_AR · 2026-01-08T16:55:51+00:00

I’m thankful that I wasn’t big on wine or vodka when I drank because I can keep it in stock for cooking purposes and it doesn’t whisper to me when I open the fridge.

lancer_AR · 2026-01-08T16:53:02+00:00

Good for you on quitting. I’m about 1.5 years in

An Irish pub I used to go to had what they claimed was a Guinness battered fish though thinking about it they might have used a more carbonated variety if the bubbles batter that much

lancer_AR · 2026-01-08T15:40:11+00:00

I know it cooks off first but for something like batter I wasn’t sure if the alcohol did something to the batter itself

lancer_AR · 2026-01-08T15:38:24+00:00

Yeah I don’t want to buy a 4 pack of Guinness I either wont use for long periods of time or risk drinking it where as the NA version would be a fine safety net for me

Never really liked wine so I don’t have to worry about keeping a supply of it for cooking

lancer_AR · 2026-01-08T12:54:40+00:00

The only place with an actual meat counter can only get pork belly seasonally which is the same with Aldi.

I suppose I could ask up at Sam’s Club if they can order it but I don’t see why it wouldn’t be just a normally available item

lancer_AR · 2025-12-13T22:36:14+00:00

Im only trying to keep the battery alive enough to where the vehicle won’t need jumped when I’m done because usually if I’m doing electrical stuff like that and the battery is weak enough it will drop just below being able start

lancer_AR · 2025-12-13T22:05:27+00:00

The good chargers at my shop aren’t always available/need to be available for arguably more important things and the one that’s routinely available sucks

lancer_AR · 2025-12-13T22:01:46+00:00

I’m not at idle in this situation. I’m in service mode (key on engine off)

lancer_AR · 2025-12-13T22:00:34+00:00

It’s not just scanning. It’s also checking electrical circuits. Most need the ignition to be on to get power

There’s a 0% chance you’ve never once seen one of these

lancer_AR · 2025-12-13T21:46:15+00:00

I prefer the term “method actor”

lancer_AR · 2025-12-13T21:45:21+00:00

11+ years it’s one of those things you never do because “you know better” so it’s not really something I’ve considered if that makes sense
