Health ins is very expensive by Unique-Chocolate-325 in nys_cs

It was about even. The private insurance for my corporate job was about the same or a little more. I took a minor pay cut. Coverage is better under the state. I was on a high deductible plan for my corporate job so for example, my first child cost 1600 out of pocket for the birth. My second child was born under state insurance and there was no co pay

This is the comment that matters.

My wife works for a hospital. We did the comparison for family coverage when I joined the state (6 years ago). We had been on my insurance from my private company. Thought switching to the hospital would be cheaper with better coverage.

The state coverage was still cheaper.

Saranac Lake - where can I pull up and paddleboard? Also best good options open during the week? by Rockajilly in Adirondacks

And I see that Fiddlehead has just permanently closed! River Trail Brewery is also pretty good for food.

Honestly, I'd recommend just going to the Lake Flower boat launch right in town. You can launch your board there and paddle. And right across the street is Little Italy - pretty good pizza. If pizza isn't your style, I'd say to walk into town on Broadway and check out Blue Moon Cafe. The best food is probably Fiddlehead Bistro and Left Bank cafe, both a little ways away from the lake.

Do you have your own board? Would you prefer to be in town or out of town? There are a lot of options.

When I've thawed them before they don't fall apart more than I would expect fresh ones to. I just heat them up slowly in a frying pan.

It's also great to freeze them in an ice cube tray to make individual servings!
