[QUESTION] What are you favorite preps/hacks/tricks/recipes involving a freezer? in c/cooking@lemmy.world
[–] berryjam@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

The freezer lets you ✨freeze time✨

You can freeze bread. Put it in the toaster when you need it.

You can chop up and freeze most veg, this is a great alternative to letting it go bad because you didn't get around to using it. Bell peppers, for example, freeze well.

You can freeze tofu.

You can cook entire meals and freeze them.

Personally I want the hoodie! It's too pricey though.

The nice thing about lifting every day is that you don't get as sore.

You use a training max that's not your 1RM

I'm annoyed by it too, but you can see the posts without logging in. You think I have an instagram account?

Squatober has you pick a training max that's not your 1RM, so you won't die :)

TDF for house down payment (lemmy.world)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/20168637

Is a TDF a good choice for growing my money, in this case? I plan to use it for a house down payment and withdraw it in 5-7 years. I've been thinking of putting it in a 2030 or 2035 TDF. Should I go this route or just VTSAX and chill?

Background: USA, I will be saving in a taxable account, and I want to minimize my tax liability as much as possible.

Looking for a gentle daily shampoo (lemmy.world)

Please recommend me a shampoo! I have long 2b/2c wavy hair. I currently use tresemme flawless curls shampoo+conditioner 2x/week. I'm looking to start using a gentle shampoo more often now that it's summer and I'm working out 6 days a week.

US drugstore brands preferred but I wouldn't mind driving to a cosmetics store to stock up. :)

(I hope it's okay to post here - the hair communities I could find are all inactive.)

If you had $200 to spend on fitness, what would you spend it on? (lemmy.world)

It's a one-time payment. You can spend it on anything fitness or health related.

Edit: I'm not looking for recommendations, I'm curious what YOU would spend it on.

I have 2 dozen eggs to use up (lemmy.world)
 

The best by date is in 2 days. I know about the water test for egg freshness so I'm not super concerned, but please give me ideas for using them up within a week or so 🥺 I've boiled a few and am planning to make some cookie dough, but that only counts for half a dozen.

How bad is it if I slack off on accessories? (lemmy.world)

Recently got back into the gym and feel absolutely wiped after about 4 lifts. Lately I've been doing an A/B style routine where:

Workout A: Squat, bench, RDL, row.
Workout B: Deadlift, OHP, leg press, lat pulldown

Now I'm not asking for program critique, but I'm wondering if it's okay to not do more accessories?

Can I use the HDD from my laptop in a self-built PC? (lemmy.world)
 

Laptop battery recently died, and I'm planning a new PC build anyway, so I'm wondering: can I just remove the HDD from my laptop and connect it to the motherboard? Would I need any extra parts or hardware? I'm guessing no, but it's hard to research on my phone. Any guidance is appreciated :) thanks!
