Which is a much cuter name! Lol.

Easy veggie soup with brown rice. Take desired vegetables (I like yellow squash, zucchini, celery, potatoes, carrots, onion, garlic), chop roughly, add to instant pot, cover with water, pressure cook on high for 10 minutes. When done, spice it to taste now that you can actually tell the flavor. Use slotted spoon/spider to remove veggies, set to side. Extract 4 cups of the broth, add it to rice maker with 2 cups of brown rice. While your rice cooks, put half of the veggies in a blender, blend until smooth. Add remaining veggies back to the pot with the blended veggies. Stir in some sour cream to make it creamy. Serve it over the rice.
Can also skip the rice, use corn starch to thicken a bit, and serve it with pimento cheese and crackers. Sub brown rice for wild rice. Throw in some chicken. Use different veggies. Triple the potatoes instead of other thickening methods. Possibilities are virtually endless. It's a different soup each time, which helps with variety. Excellent recipe if you grow squash, because them suckers are prolific.
Easy tacos:
Half a pound ground beef, large can of Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies. Cook and drain the beef, add tomatoes and heat. Place corn tortillas (real ones, not those yellow "taco shells") in a lightly greased skillet and cook on one side for 30 seconds. Flip tortilla, add cheese of choice (sharp cheddar, various supermarket "queso," I prefer Oaxaca), cook another 30 seconds. Add to plate, spoonful of the meat/tomato mix. On the side, spoonful of sour cream with smoky hot sauce mixed in. Putting it on the sides prevents it from cooking off your taco too much. Dip and enjoy.
I read this at first as an ingredient list,band I was so concerned for your health and stability. Lol.
My mom's dog:
A vicious psycho killer has entered the room, pretending to be u/DharmaCurious! He's even mimicked his scent perfectly! Mama, Mama wake up, you're in danger! ... now feed me, imposter!
That tree has seen some shit, man.
Normally this type of joke lands well with me, but that's my least favorite euphemism for gay sex, as a gay man. Just gross. :/
That's amazing! Honestly, as someone who struggles with weight, I understand how difficult that kind of task can be. Congratulations, and I am proud of you, internet stranger. Keep it up!
And I'm in the hilliest part of TN, sadly. I live on a road that has about 400 feet of flat enough ground for me to ride on, but luckily it's just us out here, and one neighbor who has a visitor/leaves maybe twice a week, so I get to ride there 400 feet (120 meters in new money, if you're so inclined) fairly embarrassment free, which is nice. But but unfortunately, the head of my road links up with a main thoroughfare that brings traffic from the nearest city for people coming from/going to work and such. Apart from that, there's a bike trail that I use sometimes, but it's only about 3 times the distance I can ride before I have to get off the bike. I'm hoping to build up to the hills, but to be honest with ya, I'm just not up to even minor hills yet. :/ I'd like to get a stationary bike to help build up to that in an embarrassment free environment. I'm super self conscious being the fat guy out there huffing and puffing because of a 4 foot incline. :/
Free perhaps, not really local. I love an hour from the nearest city. Lol.
I do have a bike... but it's more reserved for riding up and down my own road for weight loss purposes. My county is rural, and does not have side walks or bike lanes, and the nearest store to me 15 miles. I am not capable of making of that ride, even if it were safe to do so.
But in principle, I fully agree. Fuck cars, fuck car culture, and fuck the governments for not doing more to make bikes a feasible option.
No advice for you, I've only flown twice. :/ but they really should have, like, a lock box in the cabin that flight attendants can put all personal items in. That way of you're just traveling with a carry on, you don't have to choose between bringing an entire bag to check, or just foregoing some small item. Then, no danger, and you don't have to check a bag. Just give whatever small item it is to flight crew, they keep it in the cabin until you're disembarking.
They just said they didn't want to check a bag, though. :/
Actually it's super easy.
Step 1: be poor
Step 2: come to terms that you don't have, and likely will never have, enough disposable no income to afford 50 dollar tickets to a concert
Bonus optional step 3: be poor enough that you'll be unlikely to live in a city where musicians will come, even if you found some money. Then you definitely won't have gas money to drive there and see them. :)
It's fool proof.
Just wait until my father hears about this! Now I'm going home in my 1998 Toyota corola. I only drive it because my parents are trying to teach me what it's like to be one of the poor. They're quite wealthy, you see.
