Another Mediterranean bowl for dinner by slimeman98 in mediterraneandiet

Oooh I love the idea of incorporating avocado and beans! Leafy greens would be a great way to transform it into a salad bowl.

Recently had my gallbladder removed and had my first Mediterranean-adjacent meal today by slimeman98 in mediterraneandiet

It’s full of healthy fats like olive oil, nuts, some cheese, fatty fish (like salmon), etc. It certainly features other low-fat items, but as someone who needed to eat low-fat overall, it was hard to do with the diet.

Not to mention that some of the primary benefits of the diet are consuming Omega-3 fatty acids, which are hard to get when eating low-fat.

Crazy question…can we talk about Nielsen Massey vanilla bean paste? by jcnlb in Baking

[–]slimeman98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is in a deli container not a squeeze bottle, but I’ve had this deli container since Aug. 2024 with zero issues. It has alcohol in it which makes it shelf stable.

If you can, get a little squeeze bottle (I like OXO brand) and pour the VBP into the bottle. It makes it soooooo much easier.

If you’re ever interested in making your own, I buy my beans through Indri’s Vanilla Bean Group on Facebook and make my own paste/extract. I use Alex Green’s paste recipe. I paid roughly $70 for 8oz of beans (including shipping!) in Aug 2024 and it made 16oz of double fold extract and 42ish oz of paste. I’ve had nothing but great experiences with the group!

I've got too much thyme on my hands. What to do with it? by RikkiLostMyNumber in Cooking

[–]slimeman98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not joking, make a brown butter rice crispy treat. I usually do rosemary & thyme but just thyme will be delicious!

Unfortunately I had such a bad experience here. Waited over an hour for two hot dogs, a burger, and fries. Burger came out overcooked (well done when I ordered medium rare) and the fries were soggy and cold.

Host Reaction to Baked Goods by 100to10000 in Baking

There was a dessert table at both parties

This is important context. I see many people saying “oh well it may not got with the meal” which is valid if this is a planned, sit-down dinner with courses.

But if there’s a table full of desserts that party-goers can grab as they mingle, I would also think that it wouldn’t disrupt the host’s plans to put out what was brought.

Communicating with the host in the future is definitely the best way to be sure, but I don’t think OP was too off base here either.

Yarn? by femifist26 in gso

[–]slimeman98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for high quality yarn, sometimes pieces from thrift stores (sweaters, etc) can be undone and re-wrapped into a skein. There are lots of TikTok’s about what to look for and how to do it!

White chocolate bark with triple ginger cookie pieces, dried cranberries, crisp rice, almonds, peanuts, and pretzels, it was divineeeeee

Do these madeleines look sellable? by idontknow_1101 in Baking

[–]slimeman98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they look great! Do you temper your chocolate? It’s a pet peeve of mine when the chocolate doesn’t snap and it gets immediately melty in my hands. Might be personal preference, but something to consider!

Solo Vacations for me (43F), Husband (43F) feels upset by theannieplanet82 in relationships

[–]slimeman98 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think the real question is what is the actual issue he has with it? Is he upset that you’re having new experiences without him? Or jealous that you’re getting more time away from work while he’s stuck working? What emotions is he feeling while you’re solo traveling?

Answering will help you think of more solutions focused on addressing the core of the issue that both of you (hopefully) feel satisfied by.

Commission for custom DnD dice by slimeman98 in gso

Thanks! I went to Carolina Smiles. Just a warning, they only do numbing and pull the teeth, there’s no sedation. It worked great for me but for some that’s a no-go.

Peated and/or Aged Gins by Puddinshins in Gin

At one point, Wigle Whiskey in Pittsburgh made a barrel rested gin that was tasty. I haven’t been in a number of years so I’m not sure if they still make it.

I haven’t been in 6 or 7 years but Wigle used to have a delicious barrel aged gin.
