How to bulk up pasta

I just discovered a trove of expired/expiring pasta in my pantry, and I’m looking for ways to make it healthier and satisfying.

**vegan and vegetarian recipes highly preferred**

I feel guilty when I eat just pasta. Empty carbs with little nutrition. What can I make that will make me feel better about what I’m eating?

Edit to add: I LOVE soup and normally that would be my go to, but I’m in an area experiencing a hell of a heat wave right now, and it’s been 100* for a week and counting 🥲 so soup won’t be as popular right now.

Does anyone else pretend some of their villagers are dating?

There have been a number of times where I catch Yuka and Leopold together, often with coffees in their hands, so it feels to me like they’re dating 😅

And honestly, I think they’re great for each other.

What’s your favourite donut shop?

I did a search in the sub (and r/sandiego didn’t like this post) and didn’t find many results. I’m looking to grab a dozen for my birthday.

Who, in your opinion, sells the best donuts?

Specifically custard-filled and fun, unique flavours.

DAE feel a strange sense of pride when they finish something that’s been open for a while?

Usually like a condiment that’s been in the fridge for 9 months, or sometimes I feel this way when I finish a bottle of lotion.

Trying to understand users’ custom designs

Hi there.

I was working on a patio area near my house, and remembered a screenshot I saved of someone else’s patio area. They were kind enough to include the Design Code for others to use. However, their design code started with MA. When I pull up the search for design codes, mine automatically starts with MO, and I don’t see a way to change it. I tried the number anyway (thinking that OP made a typo) but was told nothing could be found.

Granted, this screenshot is almost a year old. What would cause a difference in prefix for the code? I don’t use this feature very often, but I’d like to start.

Edit:
Ooohhhhhh 🤦🏼 that makes sense. I was in the wrong spot. Thank you so much!

TacoTourSD?

Hi there,

I’m wondering if anyone has experience with the Taco Tour San Diego? I was kicking it around as a birthday option, and I’m just looking for insight. Specifically any vegetarians who have used this service. The site mentions they can accommodate vegetarian and vegan requests, as long as it’s mentioned at the time of booking. This is a nonnegotiable for me (and the few Google reviews don’t touch on it). I’m hoping for decent tacos, too, not just a rolled potato or bouncy mushroom at every place.

Seems fun to have a group go around and gorge on tacos and beer, and basically have a personal driver for $40.

Thoughts? Is it worth it? Or is it for tourists who don’t know any better?

If a shelf-stable food is eventually refrigerated, can it be safely stored outside the fridge again?

Growing up, I always thought that once something was put in the fridge, it needed to stay there or it would go bad/get moldy.

For example, a case of soda that you grabbed off the shelf. Put it in the fridge for a week, then you need more fridge space for other stuff, so you take it out and put it back in the garage. Is it safe to consume after a while?

I originally thought this applied to beer specifically, but then I adopted it to all items. But now that I think about it, I don’t know where I got this information, or if it’s even necessary!

This message brought to you by me buying a bunch of Walking Tamales, but the store keeps them in the cooler (when they don’t need to be!)

I only have 400 of the 900+ recipes, so why do I keep getting repeat recipes 😭

I play almost daily, and have been getting 2 or 3 recipes per day. But I haven’t gotten a *new* recipe in weeks, if not months. Is it totally random and I’m just having bad luck? Or is there something I can do to find recipes that I don’t have yet?

What is this glowing flower I found on someone else’s island?

I’ve not seen it before. It almost looks like an opened Lily of the Valley?
