I’d roast 4 of them and then either freeze or make romesco sauce (and freeze). Shakshuka is also a high-bell pepper recipe that give you a sauce that freezes easily for a fancy egg meal later.

Ended up making a chicken fajita soup because throwing things in the instant pot was about where I was for dinner.

Both my old and new companies use Fidelity for retirement accounts. I signed up for the new account and now Fidelity is suggesting that I roll over either into the current employer account or into a Fidelity IRA. Is there a reason I should choose one or the other (401k account or IRA account)?

I’m far from an expert, but I would imagine that they have different funds available. Unless it’s a very large employer, the 401k might have fewer options, or higher fees, but you’d have to compare exactly what you’re investing in to know for sure.

As long as you go to the same account type, say you’re in a traditional 401(k) and you roll it to a traditional IRA, there’s no immediate tax implications. But the two accounts have different rules regarding access. One of the main things is that you can take a loan against a 401(k). Where is an IRA I think has more flexibility on investment types you can include within the account. I also know they’re treated differently in bankruptcy according to the paperwork that my company just sent me about rolling mine over? Anyway, beyond that since they would both be with the same company it probably wouldn’t affect your investment options. The only thing to consider there is that if you’re putting it into an existing account with more money, if there’s a minimum to reach a certain level of share time (like investor shares with vanguard) then the higher balance gets you a lower expense ratio.

Though ability to take a loan differs greatly from company to company. My wife’s employer only allows it for something like imminent foreclosure.

So you probably don’t have to do anything. I have two 401k accounts with fidelity, both for jobs I’m no longer at, and it’s been fine.
The other consideration for moving it to a traditional IRA is if you are (or will ever be) a high earner who wants to do a backdoor Roth. You can’t do a backdoor Roth contribution if you have any funds in a traditional IRA.

So, late to this, but wanted to say thanks to the folks who provided car rental advice last week. We ended up going with Turo (thanks @Bracken_Joy) and it was about half the price of a corporate car rental. We had the time of our lives carting a group of 30-somethings around in a 2002 Honda Odyssey.

Hopefully you can read it, I found it quite helpful.

Oooooh my husband was doing weird things with traffic and how much I had access to.

I know I’ve seen people post here about buying petite clothes (or, regular clothes that fit American petite people) from Asia, but I don’t remember who posted it or where they shopped, and obviously Asia is a big place: does this ring any bells for you?

Thanks!
I like Shein, just up your size. Like if you’re Petite XXS in JCrew order a regular S. Basically increase your size to what it was in US stores 15 years ago, lol. EShakti is also great because you can get made to measure dresses for a really good price, highly recommend. Oh and if you ever want to splurge Petite Studio makes really beautiful things, very tts on the size chart too. ASOS has a big petites section as well but IDK if you like that style. I also like Free People petites (especially jeans) but they’re $$$.

I have no upper body strength, and I want to chop a whole pumpkin. How? So far all I can think is stick the entire thing in the oven for half an hour first?
