Chit Chat

Ah, I envy all of you with mad cooking skillz, wish I had some. I make four dishes very well, and they are "one pot meals" (Sunday sauce, linguini w/clam sauce, chicken cacciatore). Otherwise, I freeze like a deer in the headlights if I don't have a recipe to follow with painstaking perfection.

Ugh, cooking is stressful - all of that chopping and measuring and stirring and watching...

You sound like me not too long ago. I wasn't much of a cook until I had to get on a strict diet. It was overwhelming at first, and for a while, but then I found some blogs and instagram accounts that made me more interested in improving. Now, it's my way to unwind and I find it quite relaxing, which I never thought would happen. Put on some good music or a podcast and it becomes therapeutic (for me anyway). A glass of wine and some instrumental jazz music is my go to at night.

Cooking is easy... free yourself from the tyranny of the recipe! A pinch of this a dash of that! Of course sometimes things go awry. I made a wonderful cauliflower dish once, and have never been able to duplicate it. Sigh. Now baked cakes, breads and pastries? Follow the recipe exactly on those.

My big hang up is cooking meat. I'm afraid I'd give myself salmonella poisoning. I guess I need to learn the art of slow cooking or casserole.

This is how I cook...a little of this, a little of that. My dishes are never exactly the same. I kind of play fast and loose on the baking too. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't, lol.

Cooking is relaxing for me. The problem is that I enjoy eating too much after cooking.

[Angiebla]

I can't cook. I followed my mom's recipe to make meatballs and they turned out terrible.

[puke]

I've screwed up meatballs before.

[Nic B]

I just hate to cook so I rarely do. In my family, people act like because I am a woman I am supposed to cook. Fuck that shit.

Does anyone have a Lenova tablet? I always use a laptop, or desktop for work, and I am thinking about getting a tablet. I have been eyeing these that have the detachable keyboard and wondering if anyone here has one and what they think?

[Angiebla]

Does anyone know a dentist personally that they can consult upon?

Sorry, wish a did. Will your dentist not see you?

I said this in the COVID thread, but it got buried. I got a text from my dentists office yesterday saying there was "Covid exposure" in the office and the office is closed until further notice.

My mom was there last week getting her teeth cleaned. She got an email saying the staff was exposed last week. I hope she doesnt get it from there.

But yeah I have a tooth hole and i dont know what to do about it.

Yeah, a lot of things get buried in that thread thanks to a bunch of unnecessary posting of stuff no one looks at.

Personally I would start calling around and find someone else that would take you on an emergency basis so that it doesn't get worse.

Did your mom end up participating in the vaccine trial? If she did, hopefully she got the real thing and it will protect her.

My dentist will see me, it's actually my hygienist that refuses to see me because of my husband's job. Truth be told though, I don't want to have her all up in my face either. I would absolutely go though if I had something going on that was going to get worse.

My mom did not do the vaccine trials. They did not need anyone in her age group.

Does insurance cover a "dental emergency" app?

Do you have dental insurance? If so, then yes. Medical insurance won't cover it.

Well hopefully your mom doesn't get it. I thought she did the trial.

Yes I have dental insurance.

[Nic B]

Yes I have dental insurance.

You should be able to call your insurance and get a list of dentists in your area from them.

Anyone else get it? My husband doesn't understand it. I want to buy it for laughs and because I like the show (hint).

Also, I usually like the bed furthest from the hotel room door so that I won't get murdered first. Lmao!

I don't watch much TV either, but Schitt's Creek is TOTALLY worth the watch. Brilliantly written and acted, and funny AF.
