Ooh I like to make my own broth and freeze it too. Usually whatever's left of a rotisserie chicken plus random veggie parts that I throw into a ziplock in the freezer until the chicken parts are available. Do you save the separated fat or toss it out? I've always been uncertain if I should skim it off or keep it for a richer broth base

    I've recently been fixated on the idea of struggle meals, probably because I've been struggling both financially and mentally. I'll share a couple of mine:

    -Egg on hash brown patty: as simple as it sounds, bake a frozen hash brown patty, cook a sunny side up egg and put it on top. I like to season the egg with salt/msg, pepper, and garlic powder, then add a few drops of Tabasco sauce. Bonus points if you have avocado to spread on the hash brown first

    -Flaming Hot Cheetos taco: toast a corn tortilla on both sides on a pan, then add sour cream and shredded cheese and flaming hot Cheetos as the "meat", add any other taco toppings you like/have (shredded cabbage/lettuce, hot sauce, etc)

    Would love to hear everyone else's struggle meals when you just don't have the means mentally/financially to put much effort into cooking

    I wasn't allowed any video game consoles growing up, but I've gotten into emulation in recent years. Ps2 games have been my absolute favorite (they also emulate really well) and would recommend to anyone. Definitely got to play a lot of tony hawk pro skater 2 on the pc as well!!

    Thanks for the tip! Is there any real reason they make blender lids with all the nooks and crannies, rather than flat and easy to clean? I feel similar about some of the snap-on lids for glass storage containers and might have to employ the same technique

    Wishing you the best. I feel very fortunate to have found my partner out of pure coincidence. It's not always been easy, we both are constantly working on ourselves to be the best version we can be for each other, and I know I have a lot of growth yet to achieve.

    It might sound cliche, but oftentimes you may find that someone when you least expect it, when you're not even looking. Enjoy your life to the fullest you possibly can, and spend time with family and friends, attend hobby-related events and socialize. This will maximize the chances of you meeting someone you truly vibe with, though not all romantic interests will lead to long-term/lifelong relationships.

    I'm unfortunately not there physically to help, but my mom has this light switch she needs to remove temporarily and replace the plate. Her "handyman" installed it 'brand new' within the past few years. I told her it looked like it was from the 80s haha. Anyways, she apparently cannot remove the knob for the life of her, shouldn't the knob be able to simply pull off without breaking?

    It's on everything, my fingernails are glued to my skin underneath, I hate everything and most of all I hate spray foam.

    Thanks for letting me rant. I normally read instructions before using a product and now I'm avoiding the room where it's on everything... How fucked am I?

    Update: We've cleaned most of it up from the room... Our hands, not so much lol. I appreciate the advice and support, hopefully y'all got a good laugh on our behalf :)

    Ps. It works great as a diy wax for hairy arms!
