Hi all,

One of my fave dinners is the Knorr herb and butter rice which I pair with salmon. I make the salmon in the air fryer, but the rice I make on the stove. Since it’s just for me, I put in half a cup of rice with two tablespoons of butter and about 1 cup of water.

Here’s the dilemma - today I sprayed Pam and then put olive oil down and then the rice and butter and water etc, and yet still ended up with some of the rice sticking to the bottom of the sauce pan AND some oil in the rice. Other times I’ve made it and there’s been too much water at the bottom.

I follow the directions which says to put all the above in, get it to a rolling boil then lower it to a simmer and cover it for 7 minutes. I don’t know if it’s because I’m not putting the whole packet in or what, but maybe my amounts are off, but it’s frustrating that I can’t make this work right. How do I get delicious, fluffy and seasoned rice that doesn’t have too much oil at the bottom and doesn’t have some sticking to the bottom?! Help!

Thank you!

Hi all,

Im a 48F, 5’0, approximately 166.

I’m not sure if this is the right community to ask this in, but I’m lost as to where to ask it.

Yesterday I was at an event here in south florida that was a dress up event and partly outside and partly inside. There were literally hundreds of women there. I noticed that I was the only one so sweaty that my hair was so wet I looked like I just came out of the pool and my face was wet and my makeup looked like a raccoon. I put on several layers of setting spray, primer, etc.

No one else looked as sweaty and awful as me - trust me, I looked around. Despite also being hot, everyone else still looked put together. I most definitely did not.

I’ve dealt with this forever and I hate it. It doesn’t help that I’m also now overweight, but this happened when I was younger and skinny (size 0, 2 and 4) too, so it’s not just a weight and age thing.

I’m tired of looking like a gross mess. Can Botox fix this? Something else? Please don’t just dismiss me by saying “see your doctor.” I know that’s an option. I want realistic ideas of what I can do. Thank you.

Hi all,

So I (48F) have an assigned parking spot and because of the trees creating bumps in the parking lot grounds, I walk around the back of my car to walk towards my building. I should add I’m in south florida so it’s hotter here. That’s germane to the story. The man who is assigned in the spot next to mine is nice enough. We have pleasant conversations when I see him, although to be honest, I have lived here for several years now and I don’t recall his name. His wife is lovely too but she parks somewhere else usually. They’re both in their late 50s I’d say. He’s got a good foot on me btw.

This doesn’t happen often, but it’s happened a few times that I go to walk to the building and there’s a VERY distinct and strong smell of pee - you guessed it, right outside the door to his car. This has happened now at least 3 or 4 times. I finally realized today that it’s likely him peeing right outside the car door.

How do I handle this? I was thinking next time I see him casually mention “do you ever smell pee in this area?” I figure even if he says no he’ll realize I know and he’ll stop. I welcome any other ideas.

Thanks!
