I have also noticed this, but mine was tomatoes. Basically an overload of histamines. I figure that since my body isn’t trying to fight the alcohol it can properly regulate histamines now. I don’t really know how it’s working but I’ll take it. Salsa and pasta and pizza again!

Thank you for this! My husband has an old surface and it’s getting slow as shit. Didn’t think there was a way to get Linux on it. Cheers!

Affinity!! I’m trying to get my work to switch over. We only use InDesign, Illustrator, and acrobat so could be an easy switch, but it’s the acrobat part that’s the hard one.

I’ve had to show it at both security and boarding for a few years now. Both domestic and international.

Every time I turn on the screen it’s a different nature pic from my photos. It’s nice to get the memories and there’s no identifying photos of people.

You know, that would make a lot of sense with his “we need to forget about the separation of church and state” comments.

That’s how we feel about those countertop deep fryers/air fryers. No good can come of that. As for the bread machine, we just make regular sandwich bread mostly. And the best part of it is that it’s a really nice (expensive!) Japanese one, and I got it at the thrift store for 8 bucks!

Generally speaking in our house my husband does the baking and I do more of the fancy cooking. It makes sense as he’s an analyst and I’m a lot more free form haha. That being said, since we got a bread machine I’ve been making bread more, it’s just too easy and comes out so good.

If I had to bake something right now though, I’d make a rhubarb crisp. Especially as that’s literally something I’m doing today since we have so much rhubarb! Hmm, maybe rhubarb and blueberry..

We own, but only because my husband put the effort in before we met. If I was on my own I’d probably live on a boat. Bought a place he could afford by himself but lived super frugally and had roommates so he could pay it down faster. We flipped that into a house that needed work, did a bunch ourselves and got it looking pretty nice. We wanted to get out of the city though so eventually moved up island and got acreage. And a house that needed a ton of work. We moved before prices got crazy, would never be able to afford it now. Been here 14 years and we just keep puttering away at it. I love my home and all its quirks, I feel safe and loved here. I’m not so enamoured with the community as much as I was when we moved here, but people come and go. There’s some gems though. We’re kinda stuck here though as we’ll never be able to get better than we have unless we moved really far north.

The idea is to build a cottage for my daughter since she’ll never be able to afford her own place. Then later if she needs more space for her own family we’ll move into it. Told her she’s gonna have to help build and design it though. And get a job at the local hardware store/lumber yard for the discount lol.

Thank you for both of these recommendations! My daughter is serious about learning French, this is a great addition to her classes in school.

So first off, hells yes to Harvey Birdman! That was my husband and I’s you want to hang out and watch something show when we were first dating. Sealab 2021, Space Ghost, Adventure Time, Aeon Flux, and Futurama all have a special place too.

Yup. Clean is the main thing though. I’ve forgotten my silverware for lunch and figured out some very interesting workarounds before.

A bit late.... (sh.itjust.works)
 

But Merry Christmas from Diesel!

They didn’t care about the tree until presents went under it. Then that was the place to be.
