I prepared this menu for lunch I think two days ago and I forgot to share it here and now, I have the time. What you see in the table is fried rice, sautèd monggo with moringa or malunggay leaves and our province's pride and...

Macy I love your menu. I can have that any day! I cook mung bean soup almost every week. I very rarely list down meal ingredients now. My daily menu usually depends on what's fresh and on sale at the supermarket. I make do with what is affordable and widely...

Do You Check For Recalls Before You Grocery Shop?

DE @DaddyEvil (176487) • United States 18 Jul

I was making out our grocery list for Monday when the Google AI asked if I was sure I wanted to get Pillsbury products. I asked it why it was asking and it told me that some Pillsbury made bread doughs for cooking in Walmart...

Macy Manufacturers here very rarely issue a recall. We don't get notice from the consumer watch either. I can't imagine glass in bread dough!!

Sadly I Lost the Case

Neil @Neil43 (4548) 18 Jul

This goes without saying, I am going to be receiving a very small amount of money only. It seems like the universe has another message for me. Today I received good news from one of the agencies about the applications I submitted...

How deep are your friendships here?

Amber @AmbiePam (123812) • United States 19 Jul

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (170302) • United States 19 Jul

The only streaming we do is Amazon Prime. We are watching a series "The Swiss Family Robinson". It is a newer version and it stars Richard Thomas (John Boy Walton) as the dad. We like it. Bob has had a rough time of it for a day...

I ordered some sheets

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (170302) • United States 19 Jul

I got sheets made of T shirt knit. I think I will like them. I noticed hospitals buy those a lot now. I have had them a few days but Bob has been in bed most of the time. I put a new mattress cover and new sheets on this...

Living in the city vs the country side

Orogun Oghenekome @eLdav1s (742) • Nigeria 12 Jul

Between living in the city or in the country side where would you prefer? Living in the city often presents more opportunities in terms of jobs and in your career, while living by the country side is usually more quiet and free...

Got Tanned in Thailand.

rakski @rakski (158639) • Philippines 13 Jul

It's definitely hotter in Thailand when we were there. We were prepared with our sunscreen and umbrella. But it does not help much at all. Going to temples had us walking 15,000 steps or more. They're very strict there with the...

Macy It's usually hot in Thailand around this time, especially in Bangkok. I would love to visit the northern highlands of Thailand where it's supposedly cooler. There's a Buddhist monastery there that I'd like to stay in for a few days.

Macy I guess it takes time for some to adjust to progressive lenses. I still prefer to have my prescription glasses and my reading glasses. I actually have 3 pairs - one for my nearsightedness, one for reading and writing, and another one for laptop work.

Dying my hair again or going back to my natural one? What would you do?

Valentina @valherma00 (4783) • Zagreb, Croatia (Hrvatska) 13 Jul
