Yay - THANKS! 💕

What oven temperature do you use - and how long do you cook these?

"The whole panoply of the universe has been neatly expressed to [animals] as things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks."

Yes, it’s weird how the carcinization of Trump cabinet members has a distinctly Nosferatu tendency ….

But … but … but … the reason we went into IT was so we could work with computers rather than having to interact with other people. Academics double down on this: we build theories rather than relationships. The only problem with working at a university is having to deal with students 😉

It happened a lot when I was a kid. Ppl were poor as dirt, couldn’t afford to stock the pantry ahead. My Mom had young kids & could not always get to the shops. She would often borrow eggs, butter, or flour from a neighbor to make a meal. Then she’d pay them back when she could next get out.

The silicon soup cubes/silicon freezer trays are ideal for freezing extra portions. You can just heat your casserole in the microwave from frozen. You can get different sizes - I find the 2-cup capacity is brilliant for portioning out soups, stews, and pasta dishes. 🍜🥘🍝

That’s like my Mom puzzling over why she was gaining weight:
“I’ve been eating this diet chocolate every day after dinner, but it’s not working.”

“Oh - is that how it works?”

Because they can.
