I have been cigarette free for 51 hours! That's really good for me. I gave my cigarettes to my dad and made him a promise that I wouldn't buy anymore. He said he's bought me two presents as a reward. I'm quitting because I need to save money. And possibly the money saved can go towards sessions. I mean, it was costing me $400... I'm on vaping and patches right now. Still really really struggling, but at least I'm not irritable. Just bored and cravings.

30 more minutes of work woohoo then it's off to the pharmacy to pick up h's prescriptions from the dentist. he wasn't feeling too bad when he first got home but since then he's gone to bed cuz his mouth started hurting - he didn't take ibuprofen like they told him to earlier, he waited til it started hurting a lot silly boy. Well, that's okay hopefully he made it to sleep in there....

thanks for reassuring me it was not weird to go the drive thru in pjs i think my underlying anxiety was the very real possiblity of my car breaking down and me being stuck in peakhour traffic in my pjs. I have applied to access some of my super to get the repairs done on my car.

Could it be that the nurse in question thought that this question isn’t inane? She or he couldn’t find anyone else to answer? They are stressed and too tired to know what time of the day it is? Pandemics and being understaffed got to them? As a wife of an RN on a second shift I can promise you that my husband often doesn’t know if it’s day or night and what time is ok to call people because for him when he wakes up it’s morning while for us first shifters it’s an evening. There are so many different scenarios why the nurse call you at that time. I doubt it was malicious. Most nurses in most settings have it very rough now. Maybe not in your area. Here we have a huge shortage. And pandemics wouldn’t ease up |

Instant Pot owners, am I going to regret buying a 6 qt Duo Plus model? I've always heard such good things about them, and I'm about ready to take the plunge. I recently ordered a whole bunch of heirloom beans that I joked, although I was kind of serious, with my therapist were a way to fill my broken heart. I do have a slow cooker, but I feel a lot more can be done with an Instant Pot even though I'm a vegetarian. Anyone who feels it was a waste of money or rave reviews? I'm open to all opinions.

I'm having such a hard time lately. I'm having an existential crisis, one of several I've had, and it feels like everything may implode. I need something stupid simple to focus on like buying an Instant Pot.

I really enjoy mine. It’s only a waste of money if you don’t take the time to understand how it works and cooking it lol. Almost everyone I know who complains about the instant pot or says they threw there’s a way never really bothered with it. You don’t have to be a chef just go on Amazon and look for a cookbook a simple one. I got the biggest one I could I can’t remember if that was eight or nine. I think they have one a step down that small or if it’s just one person I got that one for my mother. It’s helped a lot this summer because I can cook so many other things without heating up the whole house. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk __________________ "I carried a watermelon?"

NP, I use my Instant Pot weekly. I was skeptical because so many other kitchen “must haves” turn out to be meh. I thought nothing could live up to my slow cooker, but the IP has definitely been worth the $$ and the storage space. It ticks the boxes: versatile, easy to use, and it cooks perfect beans.

Also, spill...(ha ha)...where does one get heirloom beans? Nerdy gardener/cook needs to know this.

I haven't bought from here before, but one of the Washington Post food columnists, Joe Yonan (who also published a cookbook, Cool Beans, that's just bean recipes), talks about Rancho Gordo as a bean source. |

I use mine all the time. My favorite vegetarian recipe is of course the red lentil chili that i used to talk about all the time. I haven't made that in awhile, i need to again. I also make hard boiled eggs in it, I know those are easy on the stove too but my problem is I get distracted and forget about them on the stove and the water boils dry then I'm afraid to eat the eggs haha. I don't have to worry about that in the IP. Plus, after an ice water bath after cooking they peel SO easily. I bought an Air Fryer lid for it too, which I use a lot as well!! One of our favorite things in it is the air fried cauliflower. H thinks it tastes like popcorn and I use all different spices on it to give us different flavors. I made air fried donuts using biscuits a couple times, h really liked those too. I know you said vegetarian, but air fried bacon is awesome. It cooks perfectly every time and I don't burn myself anymore like I always did cooking it on the stove. |
