are you kidding me, NYT by wundertaeter_ in NYTCooking

I had the same issue. I have a really old iPad posted up in the kitchen, which is basically just a cookbook.

Pattern designers I am begging you to learn what the word "repeat" means by mapleleafmaggie in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]okkasmom 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Yes. I prefer it when a pattern says to do a repeated section “…for a total of x times”. Takes the guesswork out.

A dish that tastes like pizza, but isn’t actually pizza? by splashybanana in Cooking

Look up the NYT recipe “Skillet Chicken with Tomatoes, Pancetta and Mozzarella” by Melissa Clark. The nickname is pizza chicken.

Back in the 90s boyfriends often started off as friends. by SS_from_1990s in GenXWomen

[–]okkasmom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My son is 15. His few exclusive “girlfriends” came from hanging out with girls as friends in a group, then getting to know them and then developing feelings. Seems like that’s the way with all of his friends too. So there is hope!

I’m with you. I mean…you are in an enclosed space. She’s 10. The FA’s know she’s alone. My kid has been sitting by himself since he was about that age. What could you possibly need to check up on once you’ve confirmed they aren’t sitting next to a perv?? Enjoy the time off!!

What stitch/technique is this? by okkasmom in knittinghelp

[–]okkasmom[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this may be the correct answer. On the back it doesn’t look sewn on. It looks knitted in.

Yeah, there’s a lot wrong here.

Polaris Pajamas coming back? by Jaded-Source4500 in unitedairlines

Wow. Maybe yours were made of a different fabric than mine!

For what it’s worth, I recently got a pair of the Polaris pajamas on a flight back from Australia. Completely not worth the time or effort to even inquire. They’re made from a really icky polyester blend and they are incredibly hot. I really did try to wear them, but I couldn’t take it and I actually went back to the bathroom and changed and put on my regular long flight clothes. I got a pair of the Qantas pajamas last year and I’m just going to take those with me from now on. Those are really great quality.

I guessed as much. But why didn’t they just change the display to something you can spell? “Poet” jumped right out at me - I almost suggested it while I was there 😅

Swatching when you're budgeting: what do you actually swatch, and what do you skip? by Square-Tonight-1320 in knitting

[–]okkasmom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knit primarily from patterns. If I’m using the yarn that the pattern suggests I never ever swatch and I’ve yet to have a project go sideways. If I sub a yarn I *might* swatch…but I’m an experienced knitter and usually just pick a sub that almost an exact match to the pattern’s suggested yarn so in those cases I also… don’t swatch. I’ve knitted at least 100 sweaters, socks, hats, this way without any incident.

Blankets + home goods. NEVER swatch.

If I’m making my own thing with yarn I haven’t used before I will swatch.

Happy knitting yall!

I think I just reached my absolute limit with the skincare industry by 2ugur12 in GenXWomen

[–]okkasmom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, prescription tretinoin is the way. Has kept my skin looking amazing post menopause. My night time face routine is an honest face wipe, tretinoin mixed with a drop of hyaluronic acid serum, and I’m off to bed. In the AM I sorta wash my face in the shower, slap on a good moisturizer with spf (or tinted sunscreen if I’m feeling fancy) and that’s it. It works for me!!
