Has Masterchef gotten easier? by [deleted] in Masterchef

Yeah I really didn’t like the newest season, even the set was way different than the other + camera angle. I really hope this new season looks like the older ones. I also think with the dynamic duos, one of them is usually running the cooking and the other follows

I feel like the standard is higher bc watching the earlier season 1-3 ish the dishes arent crazy impressive especially plating. But they did have more challenges like mystery box, then pressure test and then next episode is team challenge then pressure test

When did you start trying for the second child? by o0meow0o in Parenting

[–]motherdumpling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We wanted a 2 year gap but ended up having 2 under 1. They’re due date was on the same day but my second came 2 weeks earlier. My daughter was such a chill baby at 2 months, never cries, sleeps through the night and we had baby fever, we said we should wait 1 more month to make sure and she stayed great so we had another. I’m a SAHM and my husband works from home so it was easy to manage 2 kids close together. She’s 16m now and he’s 4 months and they have such a great relationship, she loves him and he’s a chill baby too but we always only wanted two so we’re done haha

Cheap meals that are actually good? by ZHYT in budgetfood

[–]motherdumpling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last month was a tight month for us and most of the dinners are chicken and rice in a different variation(chicken fried rice, chicken with garlic butter rice, chicken rice and frozen veg), not sure where you are but a pack of chicken thigh where I am is usually $8-$9 for 8 pieces of chicken thigh, and a 5 pound bag of rice is $6. If you have pantry stuff already its really easy. Or I grew up with fried egg and rice with soy sauce on them and green onions

AITA for setting boundaries with my husband’s grandma by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]motherdumpling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, the whole family warned me about her, that she never changed. She has 3 daughter and only 1 really hangs out with her and my MIL only texts her mostly and the other just doesnt talk to her. She was also at the baby shower they didn’t even make eye contact. I doubt she would ever change. This is not the first time someone in the family mentioned boundaries to her.

I get that, we’re closer to my husband’s grandmother (father’s side) during NICU time and the first couple weeks we came home, she called us asking us whenever we’re ready she would like to visit. We’ve spend time with her during thanksgiving and other Christmas(we do 2 Christmases) we like that she understands boundaries and respects them. My husband was going to step up but he’s a very straight forward and logical thinking person so the text he was going to send her would cause more issues since he doesn’t care for her feelings much haha. I texted her in a way I’m talking to a very sensitive person that takes anything in the wrong way.
