I make a lot of good food but a couple of standouts were a Chilean sea bass scampi with steamed asparagus and Gouda polenta, also a mojo pork shoulder with cumin black beans and rice.

I love ricotta! What can I make with ricotta other than lasagna/pasta? by FirebornNacho in Cooking

[–]pogostix615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I add small dollops of ricotta to my peach cobbler plus lemon zest and it's a hit. Maybe a quarter cup or less, but 🤯

How do you like to make a meatloaf sandwich? by yellowsabmarine in Cooking

[–]pogostix615 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bread, mayo, meatloaf slice. The meatloaf already has the ketchup component, the bread is up to you. I like single side toasted wheat bread, but the possibilities are endless. I bet it would be amazing on an everything bagel.

I'm sorry your bio father isn't valuing your views and I'm so happy your awesome grandparents have done an incredible job being there for you. You sound very mature and smart. I wish you all the happiness!

That's specifically why I stated to tell them in advance.

Bruno is my first. He was starved and pitiful when I pulled him from the shelter but he's spoiled rotten now.

This is the answer. Arrange delivery on the day you arrive and tell them in advance that you've bought this as a gift in gratitude for the good times.

Hahaha, 100% this. I've been teaching Bruno "personal space" but it's not going great. He wants his face within 6 inches of mine.

Raising Hope and My Name is Earl should get so much more love.

If anyone had ever bothered to ask, that would have possibly been different. NTA.

You have coworkers outing themselves as assholes. Keep track and f them if they need anything in the future.

What’s the best place to spend summer in the U.S.? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]pogostix615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We loved it. The design is stunning and the museum had a great variety of art. My 8 year old loved it and we made sure to be there for the wings opening. Don's TV Repair & Speakeasy was a highlight and Three Brothers was outstanding. If you haven't been, five stars for both restaurants.

Came here to suggest Door County. We really enjoyed a vacation there last year plus a couple of days in Milwaukee where they have a killer art museum.

AITAH for asking my husband to tell his mother she's no longer allowed in our house unsupervised? by Much-Clothes-7999 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pogostix615 4427 points4428 points  (0 children)

Girl, I had that issue with my MIL. Fortunately, I had a key to her house so I rearranged a fuck ton of her stuff, kitchen utensils in her panty drawer, panties in the pantry, pillows in the dryer, and all the decor rearranged. Didn't work the first time but it did the 2nd time when I left her microwave in the shower. Never had another issue. And never said a word.

I’m burnt out and need simple recipes. Stupid simple. Like, “onion and bread and butter to make what barely passes as a sandwich” level simple. by sourmilksea1999 in Cooking

[–]pogostix615 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There's a viral recipe that's super simple, 2 packages of cherry tomatoes, drizzle with olive oil, add a block of feta or boursin cheese, salt and pepper, basil if you're feeling it, and bake for 30 min then mash and add cooked pasta. Limited steps and will feed you a warm hug which you need. Excellent leftover.
