I would happily step away from the amaretto lol I like the warm, smoky flavors. This is great, thanks!

Yeah, I’ve never been a huge fan of disaronno. It’s intensely sweet and almost makes me think of like cough syrup or something… but some id my guests like sweet cocktails and it’s not too expensive if memory serves
That does, thanks! Definitely would prefer not to break the bank on mixing whiskey, but I do really enjoy sipping it neat when I’ve gone to bars with friends. I’ve usually had people who know what they’re talking about order for me, and am now kicking myself for not asking what was the name of the ones I liked.
I have had a lot of whiskey drinks I’ve liked and good scotch from my in laws, but I’ve never bought any myself so this is like… a treasure trove of information! Thanks! I am looking for mixing, like I’ve heard bourbon goes well in hot spiced apple cider and I think it’s an ingredient in Godfathers, but some just say whiskey so I don’t know if the specifics matter. I like Irish coffees a lot, do you have any recommendations for a good Irish whiskey?
Wow, this is really well explained. Thanks! Interesting that some would evolve to have translucent skin and green bones to camouflage instead of just developing green pigment in the skin.
Why are the bones green? Like, what makes them green? Is it something in their diet or is it something to do with the surrounding muscle?
A lot of people have already commented, but let me add to the masses: soup with frozen veggies can be a total life saver. I was just sick and tossed in basically my whole freezers worth of frozen veggies over the last two weeks. I like to do some meal prep when I’m feeling good and freeze some of my better veggies, but I had bags of corn, squash and sweet potatoes and made chili out of it. Just chucked the whole bag frozen solid into the mix and cooked till it was thawed. I’ve done the same for smoothies when I’ve got some left over bits to use up. But I like green smoothies a lot, so I’m not sure that helps the average cook.
I’d add casseroles work well with some frozen veggies as well, but you have to be weary of the water content. Other than those three, I don’t think I’d use most frozen veggies for anything else. Maybe edamame with stir fry, but I can’t think of any other exception. Too mushy/watery.
Definitely like to cook something new whenever I’m either just a little hungry or I can eat while I’m cooking. For example, I tried making a mango salsa the other day and was able to snack on the mango while I was slicing everything else.
Also depends how big the new thing is though. If I’m attempting a whole new dinner recipe, I’d almost rather make it in the middle of the day when I’m not hungry at all and definitely am not ready to eat dinner. Lots of time to both clean up a disaster and fix something different for dinner without being hangry. But something small and easily replaceable, or doesn’t have a ton of cleanup? Whatever. Any times fine for that.
Does the pineapple in tepache get cooked? Or is there a way to cook it? I’m allergic to raw pineapple, but the allergy is manageable if it’s cooked.
Oh, sweet! I do really love egg nog, so I’ll have to test this one out even if it’s just for me. I’m not familiar with Amaro though, what’s it like?
This sounds awesome! Especially love the maple syrup and burnt cinnamon, I’d never have thought to try burning the cinnamon. Does it make it stronger?
I have never seen anything like this? I’ve separated it from the rest of my plants, it’s the only one with this problem! Why is it purple??
So, my mom in law left me all of her plants while she travels abroad for the next month and told me her coffee plant has been looking a little sickly and she can’t figure out why. I know absolutely nothing about this plant, but thought I would try and help heal it for her if I can while she’s away. Does anyone know what could be causing the leafs to brown? The newer leafs on top are growing fast and healthy, and the soil feels good and doesn’t have any signs of rot or infection. It’s also not in any kind of harsh light or in a dark corner, and it’s in a place where the humidity is slightly higher than the rest of the house, but not a significant amount. I’ve had it for a week now, but I can’t seem to make the lower leafs happy.
Got a little excited and accidentally picked some still green ones, but hey! First ever fruit I’ve grown! Tastes all the sweeter for it! Thanks everyone for all of your advice! I’ve got so many more still turning, I’ll have to make some blueberry cobbler once they’re all done.
Thanks for the advice, everyone! My legacy blueberry plant is going strong, and my sunshine one isn’t far behind! I can’t wait to pick them, how will I know when they’re ready? I imagine they’ll need to darken in color a little bit and shed the little brown flower petal bits, right?
Hi all! I got a weeping cherry bonsai from my mom today and am really excited. I’ve always wanted to get into bonsai, but I’ve heard they are extremely difficult to care for so I’ve been a little hesitant. Well, now I’ve got one and I would very much like it to thrive. Any advice? It says it wants 8-12 hours of direct sunshine, but our yard is like a sun dial so I’ll be moving it to follow the sun throughout the day. And moist soil, should I spray the soil with spring water to saturate it? Or pour from a spout? Any advice would be helpful! I’ve only grown herbs and some fruit bushes so this is all new for me.

Not sure if this one’s been said yet, but potato gnocchi and tomato sauce is easy and cheap. Some recipes require egg yolk, but I’ve seen it done without it. Basically potatoes, flour, egg yolk (or a binder of some kind, but eggs can be found cheap at bargain groceries around me) and salt. It takes some time, but it makes for a pleasant meal without a lot of skill or expense required. Get yourself a jar of premade sauce or a can of diced tomatoes with some salt and pepper to top it with. Italian seasoning if you can spring for it.
My grandma would make us potato fritters when I was young and we didn’t have much money. Basically just hashbrowns fried with some salt and pepper with a bucket of salsa on top. You can also find powdered milk for things like mashed potatoes. Hope this helps!
