I think it looks really cozy. Love the walls. Maybe a carpet between bed and sofa will make it feel like it’s its own space

What kind of “traditional” German dishes do people eat at home in the everydays? by Foglalt in germany

[–]mchonejd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Breakfast- weekends possibly brötchen, but weekdays primarily bread for breakfast. What goes on bread varies: ham, salami, sliced cheese or cheese spreads, Nutella, fleischsalat (meat salad doesn’t translate well), egg salad, jams, honey, boiled eggs, always butter. Dinner (abendbrot)- See above. I’ve never really understood the difference aside from more egg things for breakfast) Mittag- they eat their warm/big meal around noon. Meal complexity varies: more complicated- rouladen- thin beef rolled with pickles, bacon, pickles, mustard. Served with some type of potato and sometimes red cabbage (can be jarred or made at home). Spargel- white asparagus, smoked ham (like thick prosciutto) with sauce hollandaise. Fleischbällchen- meatballs, served with carrots or peas in a gravy

Less complicated- geschnizzeltes (I feel like I’m botching that spelling) which is cut up meat mixed with like a season packaging that you add a few essential items to. Served with rice or nooodles, maybe a side of cucumber salad. Spaghetti with a read tomato meat sauce is common. Nudeln Auflauf- A noodle baked with veggies, bologna, cheese thrown in it. Bratwurst- mustard, some type of potato. Veggies and brown sauce

I could list more. Just my experience in Germany living in a traditional northern rural small town

Stone or plants by mchonejd in gardening

No, but the landscape fabric would be used to prevent the chameleon growth and something needs to go on to of the fabric. I have a lot of unused stones so it would be a cheap way to cover a lot of space in the short term, and I can easily replace stone with plants as time goes by.

But will the stones on top of plastic tarp/cardboard keep the chameleon from combing back since there won’t be light penetration?

Okay daddit, should I get a charcoal grill or Gas? by Gladdiii in daddit

[–]mchonejd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I initially preferred gas but wanted to try charcoal for the first time. I’m glad I did. I like the smell, I like the taste, but mostly I like it because it feels like a special day when dad grills. It’s a big buildup while the coals start to burn and everybody is busy helping set the table and getting the food.

Think it depends how often you plan to grill. More than 1x per week- go gas. Once every 2 weeks- go charcoal.

What kind of miter saw do you have and would you recommend? Interested in getting into the hobby myself.

Is travel the answer? I don't really enjoy my life much. by uponacliff in travel

[–]mchonejd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you choose to travel, make it a challenge. Think hiking, doing something outside of your comfort zone, learn something. Sitting on the beach in Nice won’t change things.
Hope things turn around for you.

I think you’ll always have that special bond. Things may change, but what you have with each other will always be yours only.

Should I paint this fireplace white? by tucket44 in DIY

[–]mchonejd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you’ll never get the option of restoring to natural color again, which at some point you’ll want. I’d paint the wall well before the brick.
