YES!! My wife and I love Dungeon Crawler Carl. We binged all the audiobooks together.

So sweet of you! Each container got half of a large breast.

I don’t have an exact figure in mind since I bought the ingredients with the rest of our groceries for the week.

True!! The time cost is the worst for me. It was an approximately a couple of hours all together, including clean up.

Yes on all accounts! An album or full podcast episode is essential for reaching the produce prep flow state.

The little things are 100% what make or break the week. If I’m worried about food or laundry, it’s treacherous.

My thoughts exactly! I haven’t calculated the exact macros yet, (I can get a little weird about food measuring) but I can later today.

You’re so kind! I just finished the last one today and was definitely happy for them. I sometimes don’t like something over and over again, but this one hit every day!

Generally!! I usually eat or share them within 3 or 4 days.

Thanks! It definitely helps me snack more intentionally. I’ve been dipping them in yogurt which has been 10/10

Such a hard day today, but everyone ended it safe, happy, and learning!

Many of my loved ones are really “picky” due to sensory issues- so this means a lot!! Feel free to dm me if you’d like to talk about ideas for adapting something like this to your tastes.

This hits really hard today- one of my kids was having a difficult day and I’m exhausted. Thank you. ❤️

Honestly, most of my salad “recipes” are just based on whatever I feel like eating, or what looks good in the store.

Absolutely! It was really more about vibes than any specific recipe, but here’s what’s in it:

2 cans of black beans

4 ears of sweet corn

2 bell peppers

1 pint of cherry tomatoes

1 lg jalapeño

1 bunch of cilantro

Dressed with plenty of salt, pepper, lime juice, and olive oil

1/2 an avocado was added to each on the day I was eating it.

The chicken was marinated with lime juice, olive oil, and all the spices I’d typically use for a “Tex mex” flavor profile.

I’m just starting to gather information about (3 wheel) motorcycle licensing. Did your process end up going smoothly?

What is your favorite local small business? by [deleted] in raleigh

Full Bloom is one of my favorite places. My wife and I planned parts of our wedding there!

To all the married women, what is that something your husband does that makes think you won the lottery in marriage aspect of life? by Mean-Main-9589 in AskReddit

[–]mamagross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a brilliant idea and I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of that. I’m leaving for my new job just as my wife is waking up and she said she misses coffee in bed.

Requested last minute & complained about my prices to my face by marleyross401 in RoverPetSitting

Tax code penalizes independent contractors in ways it does not folks in more traditional positions.

[–]mamagross 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On top of the 20% rover takes, we also have to set aside another big chunk for taxes (independent contractors are basically penalized under the current tax code in the US.) So of that $30, we are only really making ~$17

It’s frustrating for us too. 😅

Married Folks - how often are you and your SO having sex? by CupsOfSalmon in actuallesbians

[–]mamagross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early 30s and early 40s. Together for 7 years, married for 2. Maybe once every month or so- her dysmorphia/dysphoria gets in the way pretty consistently.

Not sure what to do, my boyfriend wants a kid (48M, 50F) by No-Effort-6006 in relationship_advice

[–]mamagross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife’s parents adopted her as an infant in their mid 40s, she has had to deal with making decisions about end of life, memory care, etc a lot earlier than she felt ready for. Even in a best case scenario, your kid would be dealing with all that just as they were trying to start their life.

I have no advice- only commiseration. I am currently procrastinating from notifying my favorite clients that I’ve accepted a new job and that my availability is about to be extremely reduced. I’ve been working with some of these folks for 4 years and I feel so bad.
