When doing a search for Star Trek memes up until a few years ago, it was pretty fun. Now the internet is just filled with all kinds of freakish images that it feels like someone’s lost their minds or in the process of losing their mind.
There’s a part of me that wants to suggest recipes to save you from this nightmare, but your ignorance is your bliss and it comes from a readily available, cheap and easy to prepare cardboard box.
You’re damn right that a lotta stuffings end up undersalted. And I’m not gonna tell you the boxed stuffing isn’t tasty. (My “nightmare” comment is totally hyperbolic and flippant, but we’re having fun here I hope)
But I have a friend who makes it with sausage and sage herbed brown butter and I’m confident it’s a box beater. Heck of a lot more work, though.
I’m similarly minded. A friend and I have talked about doing this for some time, but it’s such an old joke I sorta fear it wanders into the same territory as asking the grocery clerk if the item that didn’t scan is free.
Most of the hangover is just dehydration, so the Gatorade really does help a lot. Pedialyte or a different sports drink would do similarly, but also getting in shape, sleeping right, drinking plenty of water on the days you’re not drinking helps mitigate the issues with a little indulgence just fine.
But, everyone is different so your milage may vary.
Hey everyone! Looking for any interior decorator aficionados out there. For as long as I can remember I’ve never been able to decorate spaces where I live and would love some advice!...
Just to add onto this, I managed to get a print from a famous artist for around $25 and frame it simply for around $35.
This was pre-pandemic, mind you, so it may not be that inexpensive now, but look around and ask for a framing quote at a Michael’s or better, local frame or photo shop, if you have one nearby.
Bookshelves don’t have to just be for books, either! Ours is a mixed setup with a few plants, books, of course, some video games since it’s near the TV and boardgames. We also put a few eye-catching objects on it to add some color and inspire conversations.
Edit: BookS, plural! Though, I bet it could be striking if you put one single book on the shelf and filled the rest of it with other objects.
I feel hanging shelves and putting tchotchkes on em really add a lot of personal touches. I went with some geometric shaped shelves that I placed in a pattern on the wall and put some object de arte on em and that did a lot of good for making it feel more homey. I’m embellishing a bit on “object de arte”, I got a go set, a red wax elephant, a Star Trek ship and a small plant on there, just some stuff that relates to my interests and a few splashes of color.
If you’re nervous about putting holes in the wall, some wire frame shelving units can work, too, and you can get them in all sorts of shapes and sizes these days. If you search using the keywords “geometric” or “asymmetrical”, you can easily find some designs that help break up the flat lines of a book case style shelf that I feel adds a dynamic feel to the decoration.
Lastly, if you can splurge for it, there’s always the classic paintings. Find an artist you like and go for a print or two. I went with stuff by Kandinsky, but I really like that sort of abstract, dynamic piece, to my boyfriend’s chagrin, so maybe talk about it with the people you live with first more than I did (he’s come to tolerate it plenty fine though and we get compliments all the time so haha I win).
To parrot some of the other comments, the holes needed to hang artwork and photos are very easily covered up with a lil spackle (or even toothpaste!) and paint, but also command hooks work very well for hanging things even up to ten pounds, and come off cleanly if you remove them slowly and according to the instructions.
I’ve hung paintings in spots and later decided they don’t look right there and moved em. Sometimes it’s helpful to put it up to see how it works in the space and move it later.
Ooooh yes soup when you’re sick is wonderful! I dunno if it helps any, but I always have copious amounts of soup and broth when I have a respiratory illness. I hope you feel better and enjoy the soup!
Yeah? I got one half assembled on my desk right this moment! I feel a little sheepish, though, because I got the SD card set up with Raspbian Lite as per a guide on AdaFruit, but, uh… I don’t know what terminal program I’m supposed to launch to talk to the dang thing! 😅 the guides on the site seem mostly based for Linux and I’m working on Windows. I feel silly to be stuck at this step as I feel once I cross it, I should be good with the rest of the guide.
That was both my boyfriend and I’s preference, but we got offered a free TV when we needed one, and that’s a hard price to beat, especially in these times. I’m hoping the PiHole will do the trick.
I’m using dried mushrooms that look very similar to shiitake but are not labeled shiitake that I get from a Chinese grocer (they taste similar and are cheaper by weight).
There are two methods I use for two different purposes, though my reasoning for such is fairly arbitrary.
When making stir fry or similar dishes where I want sliced mushrooms, I wash the dried mushrooms, then pour boiling water over them and let them sit for 15 minutes or so or until they are thoroughly soft. Then I’ll squeeze em out and use like fresh. I’ll save the water (now brownish with mushroom… flavor?) for use as veggie broth in any situation.
When making noodle soups, I am far lazier. I will wash the dried mushrooms then place them directly into a pot with about a third more water (tap, room temp, or boiling from the kettle, that’s faster) than I think I need for soup and simply boil them over medium-high heat, covered, for about 10 minutes until they’re plump. This results in seemingly less potent, but still noticeable, mushroom broth. Then I add my other ingredients as is appropriate. I eat these whole as they have a meaty texture I enjoy in my mainly veg soups and I honestly cannot be assed to cut them after they plump up if I’ve already decided to make an easy noodle soup.
For what it’s worth, I’m sure using method one and including the resulting broth in the soup would work just fine, it’s just that I am determined to make my lazy hot pot noodle soup a one-pot affair.
I’ve found some brands of dried mushrooms need trimming or else the stem is too woody and hard, even with soaking. Some brands don’t need this. Your milage will vary and I hope this helps!
Which episode is this, again? I’ve been showing my Trek adverse boyfriend some of the more fun episodes of DS9 after he sat down to view the baseball ep with me and I wanna show him this one! (Other suggestions gladly welcomed)
