Haha time for some mason jar/tupperware storage solutions it sounds like! |
we end up growing so many more herbs than we need during the summer, so we always have a ton sitting wilting in our fridge. it's so cool you grow your own too!
maybe i need a giant mason jar to put my mason jars in

well, my partner's mother is immunocompromised, so we've just been being extra careful to not get sick because we need to be able to visit her a lot, so we didn't want to go anywhere we'd have to have our masks off and someone less than 6ft away from us, so the dentist was a bigger risk, at least in 2020.
and then in 2021, we were just struggling to find a good practice we could trust nearby us, and last year my partner just randomly met our dentist in line at the post office, and he's a really sweet, funny guy. he's honestly probably my favorite dentist i've had, even if his chairs are particularly uncomfortable
and he's really good at what he does-- he even has a clipping on the wall from when he was in the paper for being on the cutting edge of dental practices, it's so cute. you can just tell he cares about what he does. so i'm less scared going to see him.

you'll be giving my partner several!! he really is a little spinach freak, he eats huge bowls of it, like half the brick at a time
he buys like 3 bricks at once, i don't know how he does it.

i love acorn squash!! spaghetti squash too. i need to learn how to make them myself, i've only had them made by other people. i love them with brown sugar

that is so cute
my partner also inspires me to eat, i always want to have some of what he's having
now i wanna make him feed it to me and be as disgustingly cute as y'all

After we started talking about this I’ve meant to take out some mango pieces to thaw a bunch of times but still haven’t gotten around to it yet.  |
look at us reminding each other to prep our food
mango is really good, i need to get some again to put in spring rolls. we haven't done those in a while, but they're so quick and easy and healthy once you get all the ingredients gathered and cut. we usually eat them as we make them because the rice paper is a little sticky once you get it wet.

dooooo itttttt, you won't regret it, the beef bulgogi really tastes like something you'd get at a food truck. if you like pad thai, i think you'll like the TJ's pad thai, it's pretty quintessential.

oh yeah i used to really like those portable oatmeal cups that have nuts and dried fruits and stuff in them that had a fill line like a ramen cup. maybe i'll try those again, it's overpriced but if i'm only having them every now and again it would be worth it. the packets are good too, but i have a bad habit of eating the sugary ones raw
i mean i'm sure it's fine, you can have it raw in yogurt or bars but... like, it's not classy
probably better to have less water than more, i don't want floating oatmeal
and i'm fine with a brick of oats. i'll try with 1/2 cup first, because google is telling me the same thing.

i don't think i've ever put a new tip on mine
i have an extra somewhere, but i thought it was just for backup if something terrible happened to the first one
and i think you have to clean the water reservoir or it gets mildewy and a little dusty, like when you leave a water cup sitting out. mine really looks gross since it's been sitting in the cabinet so even if it doesn't usually have to be washed it definitely does now
