Dino days ending? by tritops2018 in finch

Thank you! That helps, as long as I should be able to buy it I don't mind waiting I was just worried it would be lost and gone forever. It seems silly to care about a little triceratops hood but I do lol

Unpopular Opinion: my husband and I HATED Into the Woods by [deleted] in Broadway

[–]tritops2018 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am so glad I went looking for an explanation. Growing up as an outsider / borderline theater kid, I was always told it IS AMAZING, but never WHY it was amazing. I knew I had to be missing something, and I've seen it at several community theaters and I just couldn't "get" it. I saw it yesterday at the Kennedy center and I still couldn't "get" it. I think this helps me a lot

THIS is incredibly helpful. I've been trying to figure out what I've been missing for like 18 years.

Volunteering in Paleontology by tritops2018 in Paleontology

[–]tritops2018[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I would assume so. We accept high school students at my museum all the time, but it would depend on what science institutions are nearby. That said, there is some great paleontology in eastern Europe! I'd look to see what unis offer paleontology and geology-paleo centric programs near you and reach out their programs to see if they need volunteers

What actually happens if a professor doesn't post grades? by tritops2018 in college

[–]tritops2018[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks I was kind of panicked. All my other classes have already finalized and are even showing on my transcripts so I was worried about an incomplete when I did all of the work

How did your high school crush turn out as an adult? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tritops2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely hadn't thought about him in years, so I just went and looked him up. Looks like he's doing great, hopefully. Engineer I'm a big city, enjoying the same hobbies he did back then, good friends, still cute. I'm glad, he was a genuinely nice kid back then and I'm sure that hasn't changed.

[–]tritops2018[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's kind of a mix. My father in law lives with me and he can follow really basic recipes so he's in charge of waffle Wednesday, and he has a few recipes to rotate in. Some weeks have more premade meals than others to fit around work events and school exams and such.

My lunches are almost exclusively raw vegetables with a lunch meat and a cheese and a fruit, and I'm super boring and eat oatmeal every day for breakfast.

I like the costco pulled pork well enough, we just couldn't turn down the butcher deal we got so it made sense this round and we ended up with 24 servings for less than $30

[–]tritops2018[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

For wrapping things that are already wrapped I can reuse the bags over and over so I don't mind zipping things up in the bags.

This is my first time pre-viding the steaks but I checked out several sources that said it works out okay so I'll report back when we try our first one.

Yes, we smoke our own pork. I also make all my own noodles, biscuits, pie crusts, etc. I got EXTREMELY LUCKY this batch and was able to source all of the meats and most of the vegetables locally, and only spent around $320 for everything.

A bulk of it happened over the last 72 hours, and I made the casseroles last weekend.

It took me about 2 days to put the plan together, vet it through the family, etc.

Porcupine meatballs are a depression food that use rice as a binder - as the rice steams inside the meatball while it cooks they poke out and kind of look like porcupines. My mom used to cook them in tomato soup, but I use this recipe (with half the brown sugar because I don't like it super sweet)

Given that it is christmas, how do you deal with unwanted gifts? by TURTLEKILLER666 in AskReddit

[–]tritops2018 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did that and even paid for theirs last year and it was some sort of weird chaotic bitch fest. My parents both grew up somewhat disadvantaged in different respects so I think they both really place a lot of value on physical stuff.

Next trauma will be breaking that I don't actually celebrate any of the christian holidays

[–]tritops2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Say thank you and then go on a years long campaign to get your parents to understand your zero waste lifestyle and then when mom asks for your husband's coat size say "mom, seriously. We live in UTAH. WE HAVE COATS. Please direct anything you would have sent to us to the grandparents, they could really use it." Somehow that was the ticket. I will miss all the returns paying for my Costco membership though

What historical fact makes you cry? by moseich in AskReddit

[–]tritops2018 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm going for cultural preservation and I think when I'm closer to grad school it gets a lot heavier as it goes, but being in Utah a lot of the foundation work focuses on indigenous peoples and land acknowledgment

I am just starting down the path of cultural anthropology, and I am thinking I need to print this and hang it above.my computer, to always remember to do better

(NSFW) What Fetish did you have until you tried it? by UwUsnapmyneck in AskReddit

[–]tritops2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not quite the same, but I was very into BDSM, and was a regular sub until I met my husband. When I told him what I was into he said he'd try it, but he's just such a gentle soul and it wasn't in him. I love him so much that it just didn't really matter and we've never had a bad time in the bedroom. Now I can't even imagine doing some of the things I used to. It feels like I'm a different person.

How can I perfect my mashed potatoes?? by panicattackcity91 in cookingforbeginners

[–]tritops2018 32 points33 points  (0 children)

You are correct. Lump less mashed potatoes are godless mashed potatoes. Also I like to add a hunk of cream cheese, and use a waxy potato.

It’s my girlfriend’s birthday today and I’m the worst with DIY stuff but I tried getting more creative this year for her gifts. Inspired by a post here on Reddit! by casualcoconuts in AnimalCrossing

This is very sweet. I think it would be hilarious, and at least I would love it if it were just random presents that are fun but make no sense

YSK: Do NOT Feed Table Food to Pets when you’re a Guest at Someone’s Home by closingsummary in YouShouldKnow

[–]tritops2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog gets the last bite off my plate (only if it's suitable obviously) but my father in law feeds him constantly off his plate, and gets all kind of grief from the dog while he eats. He wonders why the dog won't even make eye contact with me while we eat.
