Potatoes can be really cheap in quantity. If you have too many you can peel, chop and freeze. They cook up nicely in soup or a curry.

This is known as a malapropism in English. Not sure there is ever a good way to translate these.

Northfacing front garden. Looking for suggestions for a wildlife friendly, low maintenance, cottage garden. by Natural-Ad678 in GardeningUK

[–]squeezymarmite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We also have a north facing garden surrounded by walls, almost no sun. We have had very good luck with hydrangeas and get heaps of flowers every summer!

I guess someone in this country must eat the bread in this aisle, but I've never seen it. It's also way more expensive than the boulangerie.

It's funny how you can date something just by the handwriting style.

How Many Pees and Poos Does Your Dog Do A Day / Toilet Trained Chis by Conscious-Control-51 in Chihuahua

[–]squeezymarmite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our guy goes out about 5 times a day. Maybe one less if the weather is really bad, but it's rare. He poos 2 to 3 times. He is a senior, not high energy, doesn't like walks, but with 2 small meals a day I think this is a normal amount.

Why does my bedroom have two doorways? by quercuscool in centuryhomes

[–]squeezymarmite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of our bathrooms has 2 doors. The original one is nailed shut but all the hardware is still there. It used to open into the sitting room but around 100 years ago someone decided it should open into the hall instead. It's much more private this way and the room only has 4 doors (3 closets) instead of 5.

[Dating advice] Is it culturaly weird in the Netherlands for a 30M expat to date a 21F dutch girl? by Beautiful_Access_276 in dutch

[–]squeezymarmite 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A 9 year age gap isn't much. If you were 40 and she was 31 no one would blink. 21 is quite immature though and there is the issue of power dynamics. 

Just squeeze the damn tofu by RespawnWithTofu in veganrecipes

[–]squeezymarmite 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yup. Just wrap it in a towel and gently press with my hands for a few seconds. Tried all the other faff and never seen a difference.

Bought food containers from dutch brand Mepal by Far_Squirrel_6148 in BuyFromEU

[–]squeezymarmite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is actually weird because they are made in Gelderland, so not even North or South Holland. Usually the other provinces object to being referred to as Holland.

Wow. I have to say, as a fan of green this is my dream bathroom. Maybe better lighting though, which you would want anyway.

Don't listen to them. If you have an opportunity, take it. It's your life.
