I’ve used my regular coffee grinder for small amounts of grinding things into powder.
I also have a Nutri bullet that does a pretty good job of bigger amounts but I’m usually adding liquid after the first blitz to make more of a paste so I don’t know if doing only dried beans would dull the blades over time. Lots of lentils and small beans like dried chickpeas.
Thank you!!
Not much call for booties down here, but I’ll ask my resident vet in the morning when he wakes up.
The new Thai restaurant we go to doesn’t have the dish I LOVE from my favorite restaurant. (A house dish they call “spicy noodles”, which tells me NOTHING. It’s wheat noodles with vegetables.)
I don’t like peanut, coconut, or seafood. What Thai dishes should I try?
I like pad see ew, which is flat noodles with broccoli and whatever protein you choose in a soy/oyster sauce. I have never gotten a fishy taste from oyster sauce though I might not be sensitive enough to it.
I like that dish too! I also like dishes that feature whole basil leaves (the variety is different depending on the dish) and/or mention chili paste or chili sauce.
Tangentially related, I’m making phat bai horapha tomorrow night!
I just want to say that I often have zero idea what you are talking about when it comes to food, but I enjoy so very much your posts about it and how much your pleasure in food and cooking comes through in them.
A medical provider has recommended that I take EPA/DHA supplements.
I don’t remember which site is good for reviews of supplements to make sure they are lab tested for safety and quality control. (@Bracken_Joy).
I’m ok with taking fish oil/fish products if sustainably caught.
I prefer no other animal product in it (e.g., animal-sourced gelatin).
I do have Costco membership, if Kirkland is a good option/cheaper.
Recommendations?
Lab door. My preferred brand uses a CO2 process to prevent rancidity. It’s called Nordic Naturals. Bonus: no fish burps.
My understanding is Kirkland is a poor option.
I’ve been using Headspace for a few years, and I really like the sleep stories/meditations, but I hate paying for it. I have a perk that would get me a free subscription to Calm, but I don’t want to deal with it unless I’m likely to like it. Anyone else used both and could compare?
Question for y’all who don’t read my journal:
What are good things to know about Microsoft Access that I could watch some youtube videos about? I’m starting a new job where I’ll have to enter stuff into some databases/reports and maybe eventually create some of my own and I have some down time at my current job. There’s a lot of terrible how to youtube videos out there so I didn’t want to just go searching blindly.
I think understanding how relationships between tables work in access, understanding data types and looking into some basic query building will go a long way. I think I learned that stuff and then learned everything else by either trial and error or googling a specific problem I was trying to solve.
Grandparents deadnamed sis on a gift they sent. Is it fair for me to open it, replace the name, re-wrap? This is the generic “gift card from detached grandparents” we get every year so very unlikely I’ll be intruding on anything super private.
That’s tough, and I think ultimately up to your sister. Is she out to your grandparents? Has she expressed any feelings about family deadnaming?
Unfortunately the answer to both is “I don’t know.” I thought they all knew but may have forgotten. I know her deadname and her previous appearance are both triggering to her, and I worry asking her will also trigger her.
I’ve wrapped most of her presents, so presuming that inside the package there’s not a mention of deadname, it wouldn’t stick among the rest of the gifts. If there’s a card w/ deadname mentioned I might just redact it.
I’m probably going to go the defensive big sister route. Opened envelope, sis deadnamed in card as well. I’m going to put stickers over “Dear deadname” and try to make it look as natural as possible and just let my parents know in case they want to discuss/remind gp’s.
I have no advice here but you’re a kind sister.
That’s the right choice. Good for you.
