OK I give up trying to get the items from this game; I've tried turning off all my popup blockers individually as well as checking "always allow on this site" and after 4 tries it's still blocking me from getting the grant. Will there be another way to get it?

i just see the classic "you and your things stay on YOUR side, me and my things stay on MY side" ;v;

That's kind of what I feel like just checking in to the site most days. I rarely post but still check for notifications regularly.

Posted in What's everyone's halloween plans? Posted 4 years ago

Not entirely sure yet; my friend and I are in the middle of trying to work around our schedules and make a trip to go view some houses with a realtor... so our original plan was to go to the area we're looking at during Halloween weekend, do the house-hunting stuff during the day, and find some local activity like a haunted house or whatever's open during the nights when we'd be there. But we couldn't get enough time off (it's a 5+ hour drive and we both work late) so we decided to reschedule our realtor visit for a few weeks down the road and just use Halloween weekend for... Halloween.
This leaves us kinda scrambling to figure out what we can do; we want to decorate the house, but don't expect a lot of trick-or-treaters with all the stuff going on this year. We'd like to go to some kind of haunted attraction, but not much is open this year, much less during the daytime, so it'll probably be "go last-minute shopping for candy and spiderwebs, decorate the house, pass out candy and watch movies for the rest of the night". Maybe we'll make some Halloweeny recipes and pretend it's a party. :^P I really wish we had more time. Oh, well. At least we should have our own place together by next year and won't have to worry so much about scheduling.

! soup is one of my favorite things to make. Very easy and you can put whatever you want in it, including any veggies, beans, etc you have laying around and don't know what to do with.

I actually got a really nice butternut squash soup recipe from the sticker on a squash I bought a while back. Dealing with the squash itself was the hard part (cooking and peeling it, specifically) but the rest was pretty simple and it made enough to last me quite a while.

1 cooked butternut squash (I baked mine in the oven; you can also buy squash frozen and pre-cut to save time!)
2 Tb olive oil
1/2 c chopped yellow onion
4 cloves minced garlic (or ~2 teaspoons pre-minced garlic from a jar to save time)
1/8 ts ground nutmeg
1ts chili powder
1ts salt
4c vegetable broth
1ts maple syrup

In a large soup pot, sauté onions and garlic. Scoop cooked squash into a blender. Combine onions, garlic, and all remaining ingredients into the blender and blend until smooth (pause blending a few times to let steam escape). Transfer back to the soup pot and heat through. Garnish with black pepper and roasted pumpkin seeds if desired.


My personal go-to soup, though, is something I didn't get from a recipe but threw together one day in the kitchen, so excuse the lack of proper measurements:

1/2 block tofu, cubed
1 8oz pack sliced mushrooms (or any kind of smaller whole mushrooms if you prefer)
1-2 chopped green onions
seaweed (I like to use about a half cup to a cup's worth of rehydrated chopped wakame, but I find a packet or two of those roasted seaweed snacks works well when I don't have that; just crumble them dry into the soup and they'll rehydrate)
vegetable broth (as much as you need for a base, I usually use one of those 32 oz boxes)
dash of mirin
dash of tamari or soy sauce if desired (may not be needed if your seaweed and/or broth are already salted)

You can add noodles, dumplings, peas, carrots, etc if you feel like it; sometimes I also add a little bit of ginger and garlic to taste.

-No special instructions; I just wash my veggies/mushrooms, chop the tofu, put everything into the pot, and let it simmer until it tastes right. Works great when I don't have a lot of time but need to prep something that will last me a day or two.
