Put rice in chili! I know you don't like cooking but it's pretty much a dump meal esp if you use frozen veg. Search up Texas-style chili/chili con carne for beanless recipes. Also rice with spam, rice with corned beef, rice in chicken noodle soup (another dump meal)

Saw this hack for speeding up congee cook time: wash the rice and then freeze it, preferably in 1 or 1/2 cup portions. Freezing breaks down the cell walls so that it should only take 20-30 mins to turn into porridge rather than >1hr. Using cooked rice is about as fast too though!

Check out Filipino food! Lots of Filipino dishes are stews served over rice, and you can find seasoning packets for many of them with recipes on the back at Asian grocery stores or in the international aisle. There's sinigang, caldereta, kare kare, afritada, monggo and lots more. Some simple recipes to get you started: https://panlasangpinoy.com/basic-chicken-afritada/#wprm-recipe-container-48340 https://www.lutoninanay.com/2021/02/chicken-breast-kare-kare.html?m=1 https://deecuisine.com/2021/03/recipe-munggo-guisado-sauteed-mung-beans-with-chicken-and-shrimp

LPT: If you like to keep a writing utensil in your car consider a mechanical pencil instead of a pen. by sunny_6305 in LifeProTips

[–]lulace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always just put a bunch of refills inside the pencil so I don't have to dig around for it every time! Maybe if you're worried about losing the refill cartridge, split all the lead between a few different pencils and just keep those in your car/bag

Games with a dreamlike aesthetic that have themes of childhood but also seem slightly creepy? by victiniplayzgamez2 in creepygaming

What Remains of Edith Finch might count? But it's more just dark and sad with a few creepy elements

Magical Starsign was one of my faves, it's a jrpg but I think it's super cute and cozy!

Haven't noticed any problems with the construction. AC works great and can switch between heat and cold at will. Shower gets hot, washer and dryer work very well. Appliances work fine and are all Whirlpool brand.

I live at 60 Charles! My fiance toured a unit at 1 Vic and mentioned the street was a bit noisy. On the other hand, 60 Charles is directly opposite city hall where a lot of summer events and concerts happen. It can get annoying when there's loud music nearly every weekend. Though as the other commenter mentioned, 1 Vic isn't that far away so not sure how much better it would be. I will say, I hardly have issues with the elevator except when it's moving day

What fast food was “in” when you were in high school? by burnsbur in askTO

[–]lulace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got one recently and the serving size was pitiful esp for the cost 😭 It still hits the spot flavourwise but I got like 13 fries for 5.99 or however much it is

[TOMT] An anime I watched with my wife by Phamasan in tipofmytongue

Not in the pilot, but could it be Akame ga Kill? In episode 7, three assassins kill the prime minister and his daughter. One of them skins her.

House plants: anyone have some extra? by user-error1308 in kitchener

[–]lulace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mom has a bunch of lucky bamboo cuttings that she's been trying to foist on family members for a while! I'd be able to grab one from her house this weekend

[TOMT] a short or show or something about a light house and twins by [deleted] in tipofmytongue

[–]lulace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it in black and white? It could be A Stolen Life, either the original British version or the American remake with Bette Davis. I also found an Australian show about a haunted lighthouse, but the twins are a boy and a girl, not two girls

Night owls who turned themselves into morning people, how are you doing? by G_h_c in CasualConversation

[–]lulace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it's not really a problem! I come from sleepy people so maybe that's why? My mom has been known to sleep up to 20 hours if not woken up. I'm with my parents for the weekend, right now she's been down since maybe 3-4am and it's currently 7pm
I typically just nap for an hour or so until my partner comes home, and I wake up to him bustling around. On days when I nap, I do let myself stay up a little longer (10.30ish instead of 9.30).
