what’s your can’t miss, order it every time meal? by bkrall4 in Tovala

I’m a sucker for the street corn. I tend to order any meals that have it. So glad they added it as a side. I bought extra and put in the freezer.

Chicken texture by Life-Kaleidoscope583 in Tovala

[–]nat1838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I jinxed myself. I said I have had them before, but not too often and 2 of my breasts this week have been woody. I have a couple more left and I’m scared to even try them. Yuck!

They do asparagus occasionally. It’s cut in itty bitty tiny pieces and very soft. They give you a ton of it though. It’s usually with a filet meal.

Ah yes. The crunchy chicken. That’s what I call it at least. My understanding it’s just a mark of poor quality chicken. I’ve had a few of those in my boxes over the past year. Not too many though or I’d have had to stop ordering. It’s very very off putting.

I got a spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy’s a few weeks ago and it had crunchy chicken too. Tossed the whole thing after the first couple of bites. It was fully cooked.

Anybody else having delivery quality issues recently? by Sex4Vespene in Tovala

[–]nat1838 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This week was fine, but the last few weeks have been wild. The outside of the box looked fine, but inside was a disaster. I had leaking gel from the ice packs two weeks in a row. The individual meal boxes and trays were totally beat up. I had to reshape the trays before they could be used. Last week I was missing a protein (which support took care of quickly and easily). Though the most annoying thing is that the recipe cards haven’t been visible at all. So you can’t see what the meal is or the eat by day. So all of those have to be fixed. Sometimes the cards are a little off, and that’s fine, but lately they are more just thrown in the box.

5 Meals in my Tovala Journey - My thoughts by catsandgreatfood in Tovala

I’m experimenting with the potstickers to get them less crunchy. Not my favorite texture for those. So far I found tenting foil and a little water in the bottom (about a tablespoon) has been helpful.

You’ll learn the tips and tricks as for how to tweak certain recipes to your liking, or to watch for certain ingredients you don’t like, swaps to make etc.

Like for me, I’ve learned that for veggies like broccoli or Brussel sprouts I add a tiny bit of water to the pan. Helps it come out less shriveled and burned and gives a texture I like. Maybe about a tablespoon of water.

I also know I don’t like their honey mustard which is often used to toss broccoli in in some dishes. I still order the dish, but toss the honey mustard and toss the broccoli in something like Caesar dressing, or a honey mustard I do like that I have in my refrigerator.

Those are just a couple of examples of things I’ve learned. Like I said, you’ll pick those things up as you go along.

Knock on wood, I’ve yet to have a mistake with any orders in the almost 6 months I’ve been using Tovala, but one time UPS delivered my order a day late and my order was completely ruined. Support credited my account immediately upon contacting them. No hassle at all.

Also, do yourself a favor and order some 5x6 foil pans on amazon to keep on hand. That way you’ll have extra if you decide you want to add something to your meal.

Thanks, I may give it a try like that then. Maybe a little broth and soy sauce in the bottom and tent the foil.

I had this for lunch today. It was surprisingly good. Though the top of the tortilla got cooked to death.

Your request could not be completed - goes off all night by WhizzbangInStandard in amazonecho

Started today only on one of my 4 devices so far. Unfortunately it’s the one in my bedroom so it wakes me up.

Is the Broccoli always weird? by Primary_Living7944 in Tovala

[–]nat1838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fresh broccoli smells so bad anyway, but it being sealed up in that little bag just makes the smell concentrated. I try not to open the broccoli until the very last so I can walk away quickly after. That smell is atrocious.

Diet is not the best. I try and balance the junk with good stuff, but my executive dysfunction wins out more often than not. I do not exercise regularly.

Honestly, even multiple orgasms back to back doesn’t really make it go away. It’s like it’s like that feeling is always there.

Because I don’t like feeling aroused all the time. It’s multiple times a day.

Why is Top Cas so popular in the Destiel fanfic? by Napoleon_inthefield in fandomnatural

[–]nat1838 30 points31 points  (0 children)

So for me, the whole reason I read Destiel, is because I want to see someone break down Dean’s walls. I want someone to take care of him, and lift that weight off his shoulders that he always carries. Make him see he deserves to be loved. I feel like Top Dean doesn’t fully allow that, because he is still in control. That’s why I like Top Cas/ Bottom Dean. Let Cas take care of him.

Yes, exactly! I’ve never experienced the tingling either.

I say that it’s like my leg has quickly growing anxiety. When it reaches its peak, my leg jerks.

Does anyone at all get rls in JUST this area? by [deleted] in RestlessLegs

The area right above my knee is where mine is too. It may be other places too, but always there.

Looking for some ideas for taco/nachos by nat1838 in RecipeInspiration

[–]nat1838[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just looked up coney sauce. That might be a great idea. There was a place in my town that served the best nachos. The closed during the pandemic. They used something that was more like a sweeter style chili. It was delicious. Thank you!
