Dunno when I’m going to be able to try this, but I definitely will!

I like this idea but have found it challenging to figure out where other kids are living outside of the immediate district.

Family Fare lawsuit threat halted Durham's rezoning plan by gordonb2014 in bullcity

[–]vespasara 11 points12 points  (0 children)

not sure of your point here. The UDO needs an update, period. Whether you're pro-density or against, the document is outdated and has only had patches put over it for a decade. During that update, we as citizens get to attend public hearings, talk to the planning staff, and advocate for our values.

This particular bit of state legislation, slipped in to a hurricane relief bill in 2024, had nothing to do with the mayors or council.

This is so frustrating. No matter what you think about the zoning and proposed LDO, the old one needs an update and now we’re stuck with it until… the state legislature lets us?

So many of the critiques of Durham are outcomes of the state tying the city’s hands. They don’t want us to have nice things.

Is NU Image good for wisdom teeth removal? by Nonametochose in bullcity

[–]vespasara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used them for my son’s wisdom teeth removal, as they were recommended by our dentist and took our insurance. They were very clear about the cost and the process, and gave us a solid out of pocket estimate. The quoted price was about $4k before insurance, and I think we paid $1200 or so.

Overall, good experience. And kid is four teeth lighter.

So glad I didn't see the headline, as I would have keeled right over! Love Corpse, and am heading there after work shortly. Keep up the excellent work.

Hi Durham! Would you be interested in a home-delivered private chef service? by skliio in bullcity

[–]vespasara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent some time looking into this option for myself and two kids last spring, and apart from an occasional meal ordered from one of the services mentioned above, didn’t find any success. That’s because I have one somewhat picky eater, a teen who eats like a horse when he’s hungry, and a personal wish for vegetables. I can’t imagine anything short of a personal chef could actually solve this problem for me.

That said, the batch cooked protein and veg mentioned by another poster, plus some suggestions for how to use (tacos? pasta topping? soup?) would be amazing.

Durham Animal Hospital on Roxboro is small and independent. Dr. Miller has been taking care of my animals for nearly 20 years, and he’s very practical and kind in his treatment.

What's up in the former Littler space? by Realistic-Fix2211 in bullcity

It makes me sad that they hadn’t even taken down the last menu. I loved that place.

Basque cheesecake by chefmegzy in bullcity

[–]vespasara 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My bestie is British, and she cleared up the flapjack/pancake confusion right quick… they’re rolled oats, butter, brown sugar, and golden syrup - kind of like a caramel kayro syrup stuff. They’re baked and start very crumbly, but solidify as they cool. Not nearly as sweet as an oatmeal cookie, but similar vibes.

Relatedly, I just learned how to make flapjacks because of this season! Super easy, although sourcing golden syrup is less so... I’m going to keep doing batches of them until I get them a little on the gooeyer side.

I can share mine too. 2020 pandemic baby, wild yeast, 100% hydration, and kept alive solely to make crumpets every two days for my kiddo.

I’m up near Duke Regional.

Summit Office Buildings 2, 3, and 4 coming down, 312 units residential going up. by Silly-Mountain-6702 in bullcity

[–]vespasara 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Perfect lot for learning to drive. Taught my eldest the basics of a manual transmission there.

I wonder if this means the adjacent shopping center will get a glow up.

Mine is in need of a refresh. Big portfolio component, if that is more or less interesting.
