Not that I know of. I seem the only other one who's lived there (not
just visit)

Actually it's not bad and it's quick. Make as much or little as needed.

Actually I do know. I know for a fact that magic is NOT real, since
Any gods are magic and made of magic then I know for a fact they are
not at all real.

I went to get some brown gravy mix at Costco but it's sold in 6lb containers. I don't have room for no 6lb jugs of gravy mix. I bought a jar of beef stock paste instead. It requires more time to make gravy. It's better tasting but I can't say if it's worth the extra time.

Not lately, but I will soon!
 
Kathy the first nurse I oriented with called me and will talk to her people at a much smaller facility up north closer to where I live about a part time position where a nurse could sit with me and help me with the electronic charting, which I'd prefer anyway. I just need a little $$ coming in regularly.

There are like 5 Korean restaurants in Virginia Beach. But it doesn't
look like any of them is particularly close to where I reckon you live.

As to what to buy in an Asian market:
 
Look at recipes. Then go to the market and find (or ask for) what you
need.

I went to A&W for a Buddy Burger and a pack of face masks. The Alberta
government is using fast-food outlets to distribute a free pack of 4,
N95 facemasks to all residents. You don't have to buy anything but the
caramelized onions on the burger make this way more delicious than the
usual "fixings".

You can get some Korean noodles. These come in packages that look like instant ramen. I've been getting some black bean noodles - they are tasty. A lot of the Korean instant noodles are on the spicy side but the black bean noodles are not too spicy. The jiijangmeyon noodles are thick, chewy, and delightful and is served in a thick sauce rather than in soup. Add in some steak and you got the latest Korean food craze.

Well, I'm sold. Unfortunately, the nearest A&W would be a couple of thousand miles away and my guess they're not giving away any free face masks. I used to go to A&W back in the 70's. The place was pretty filthy because of all the pigeons that would roost overhead but the food wasn't too bad.
 
These days, the place is nice and clean because there's a Target there now. I still don't like going there because the pigeons have been replaced with Japanese tourists.

All pistachios are salted to give them a longer shelf life or they'd
go rancid rather quickly. The red color was originally a Turkish
thing to differenciate theirs from those grown elsewhere.
I've only ever seen in-shell pumpkin seeds encrusted with a thick
layer of white salt. The salt is removed along with the shell. That
salt is also to keep them from going rancid in vending machines that
were set outdoors in the hot sun.

Pretty much the same here , but I put it all in the pan then bring it up
to a boil then turn it down . The problem here is that the "low" setting
on the burner I used (actually all the burners on this stove)is too hot
. I have to throttle it by turning past "high" towards off - low is all
the way the other way .

I know what you're talking about.
 
In many blue-collar trades though, it's often informal hiring.
Usually someone just calls up at night and asks for a job
or they show up on a job site asking for one.
 
Natually, they are always the best "painter" in the world.
But that remains to be seen. I would always talk to them a
bit to get a feel for the person. If it sounds good, I'd
offer them just a day or two of work to see how they do.
 
I did have 2 in the past that said they would need to be
paid in cash as they are on disability and would lose it
if they were caught working. lol. Instant fail!

I've never heard the term "blue-collar trades". To my knowlege all
trades are blue-collar by default... however they are either skilled
trades; plumber, semi skilled trades; painter, or unskilled trades;
janitorial. If someone is operating their own painting buisness they
are technically an Entrepreneur. An Entrepreneur of a painting
business needs to know all aspects of painting including how to
engineer and price the jobs, not just how to apply/schmear paints.
Most people who work as painters for some entity are told specifically
what to do and are supplied with the materials to use, they wouldn't
be making decisions about their assignments other than when to take a
bathroom break.
White collar jobs do not necessesarily indicate a measure of skill
other than knowing how to knot their tie... many clerks wear a white
shirt and tie and haven't graduated from high school. With factory
workers only the toolmakers got to wear white denim shop aprons, all
others wore dark blue denim; jeans material.
My first wife's father was a janitor in a large office building in
NYC's garment district. He traveled to work by subway and was dressed
to the nines in a fancy suit and carried an expensive attache case.
When he arrived at work he changed to ratty coveralls, his attache
case contained his lunch. At the end of his day he changed back into
his traveling outfit. He always refered to the building where he
mopped the floors as "My Building"... thought he was impressing his
friends and neighbors. Took me months to wise up to his nonsense. A
lot of people who work in big cities do likewise... to hear them talk
you'd think they were big time stock brokers earning million$.

A lot of workers are very skilled, when they show up and actually
perform, many don't show up. Some applicants are obviously worthless.
I interviewed aplicants for a toolmakers position and handed them a
couple of brand new pencils to fill out the forms... some had no idea
how to use the crank pencil sharpener in plain sight attached to the
wall right in front of their face.

I just got out a package of Tyson Blackened Chicken Strips. The
microwave instructions are to: Arrange 2-4 pieces on a microwave safe
plate, heat, covered with microwave safe wrap on high, 2-3 minutes.
let stand 2-3 minutes before serving.
 
I never use microwave instructions for something like this, but I was
pretty sure that I had seen instructions for microwave for some sort
of prepared meat.
 
We use this sort of thing for lunch when salads and sandwiched do not
appeal and to just have on hand.

I've started using these, very handy as they are prepped and cooked, can go from freezer to meal easily...

In some other thread, someone doubted the microwave time on some chicken
pieces that were frozen, not specified as already cooked, and done in
some small amount of time. It seemed intuitively obvious to me that the
chicken was already cooked.
