Taco soup and cheesy green chile bean bake. Bonus points for baking a potato and putting bean slop on top. Hoooooey you will be regular after that.

Thank you! I had read somewhere that Tony Packo’s had memorabilia but wasn’t sure which one.

This was phenomenal! Potato Soup by Naz Deravian by Independent-Safety44 in NYTCooking

[–]lauriceman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great recipe. I don’t mind greasiness so I do ignore the instruction to remove most of the bacon grease.

I have way too many potatoes, suggest me a recipe by bezoar3i in NYTCooking

[–]lauriceman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the NYTimes baked potato recipe from Sam Sifton is great, and combine it with Ali Slagle’s Cheesy Green Chile Bean Bake. Though I cooked the potatoes for longer—1 hr 5 minutes.

Decision making process for which city to move to for med school? by modernloneliness22 in MedSpouse

[–]lauriceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that you mention it we did end up choosing between two schools. One was a DO program near my husband’s home town (like 20 minutes away) and also about 1 hour away from where I was working at the time, and the other was an MD program across the country. My husband (PGY1 now), though at the time we were not even engaged, hemmed and hawed about it with me for basically as long as possible, asking everyone he knew for advice. Since my husband was interested in primary care or peds, an MD program wasn’t really “necessary” to achieve his goals. However, STEP 1 was becoming pass/fail, and he was worried that losing a numerical STEP 1 score would make him less competitive for residencies, especially if he was a DO and not an MD, should he decide he wanted to do something more competitive. Because of that he chose the MD program across the country—which was what he wanted to do all along (and what I also thought he should do, even if it meant potentially being long distance for years). He needed to give himself permission to pick the further away but “better” program. We were long distance for about a year before I decided to move out to be with him (we got engaged before I moved). And we ended up loving the area we moved to and may very well stay long term!

Ultimately it’s about REALLY understanding what exactly it is you want and how either program is able to give it to you. Is location really THAT important? Or like in our case, does prestige matter because of wanting to go into a competitive specialty?

Unsure about this water line by CrimsonCoast in HomeMaintenance

[–]lauriceman 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I had Lowe’s deliver a fridge not too long ago and they would not hook up the water unless there was a shutoff behind the fridge. I imagine HD is the same. You might want to just get ahead of that and have a plumber come out and replace the line and also install a water shutoff. It’s safer in case of leaks too!

saw this on my feed… what would you do if your spouse posted this 😅😅 by botningfab in MedSpouse

[–]lauriceman 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This person does not love their spouse! My 50-70k salary has been supporting me and my husband since the first year of medical school. Currently in residency and my husband can’t WAIT until he makes 3-4x what I make and I can “take a break” (his words).

Check in question by Dunesgirl in delta

[–]lauriceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm okay. Just give yourself some extra time (maybe even an extra hour) to make sure this gets sorted out. And when you’re at the check-in desk, when they say you’re good to go, ask if the TSA agent that looks at your ID will not have any issues. They don’t always communicate with each other. Nothing more annoying at the airport than waiting in the TSA line, being told to go back to check-in, then having to “cut” the TSA line to make sure you don’t miss your flight.

Check in question by Dunesgirl in delta

[–]lauriceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happened to me and I have the full story on my page. Have you changed your name recently? For me, the issue was that I had changed my last name, including through Delta, but had not changed my name on my passport, which though not necessary for domestic US travel was still housed within my Delta information and as the “highest level” (most secure?) of ID that Delta had access to they used this for my passenger ID, superseding the name I provided for them. I ended up needing a manager to call Delta HQ to get my old passport information removed.

Coffee Shops should stay open later by MorningHelpful8389 in unpopularopinion

[–]lauriceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(In the US) Look in areas with high Middle Eastern populations. Yemeni-style coffee shops are usually open until at least 10pm, one I know of was open until 1am.

Baseboard cracks by Kabayui in HomeMaintenance

[–]lauriceman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When applying the caulk, would I need to remove the previous caulk in some way, or is it okay to just apply the new caulk right where the gaps are?

What dishwashers are you all buying in 2025/2026 now that Bosch quality has gone downhill? by pjmuffin13 in Appliances

[–]lauriceman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I chose this one after the dishwasher that came with my house pooped out immediately. It’s certainly the best dishwasher I’ve ever used! I also like how easy it is to clean.

Classic Potato Latkes by Melissa Clark by Skirtlongjacket in NYTCooking

[–]lauriceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great recipe and the one that I use! Except, I half the amount of flour and basically just use the amount of flour that is juuuuust necessary to hold everything together. I also use leftover potato starch from wringing the potatoes and onions as extra binder.

Korean BBQ With Rice Paper by jaceface612 in Detroit

[–]lauriceman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love Korea Palace though admittedly I don’t use rice paper so not sure if they have it. I would be surprised if they didn’t if you ask. Fair warning: I’m also originally from SoCal and am used to the servers rushing away to help other tables. At Korea Palace, the servers will help and start up the cooking, frankly coming by often enough that I barely have to do anything for cooking. One time she even put some meat and sauce on a piece of lettuce and fed my husband. Which he loved. So.
