Is a sous vide right for me?

Hey everyone. I'm a single person with a small kitchen. I've been hearing about sous vide and it sounds very interesting! I enjoy cooking a lot. I currently have a stove and an air fryer and that's it. Love cooking meat! Would it be worth it for me to get a sous vide?

Spiedie sauce cuts of meat?

Hey there. Trying this marinade for the first time. Going to the butcher soon. What cuts of meat should I try it on? So far I'm thinking chicken breast and thighs. Should I go boneless and skinless? Think about trying pork. What cut of pork might work? Thank you so much for any tips!

[MI] was charged July rent twice......

My Landlord (property management firm) uses the app called Buildium for communications and rent payments. Usually the rent is taken directly from my checking account via autopay. This month it wasn't. I'm transitioning this month from a six month lease to month-to month. They are charging me an extra hundred dollars a month for this. So my rent is going from $1040 to $1140. I open the app and see they are charging me an extra months rent for some reason. Of course the office is closed for the weekend for the holiday and meanwhile I'm accruing $50 a day in late fees. What should I do? Pay the amount in full and hope they reimburse me? Or wait and talk to them on Monday and then pay? The app shows I owe $2150 (by Monday it will be $2300) & does not allow partial payments because I already tried. Thank you.

Property management company charging me $1000 extra rent for no reason this month.

Also for some reason the Buildium app resident center did not do my direct deposit to my landlord this month. So now they're saying I owe a $50 late fee as well. Of course the leasing office is closed today because of the holiday and I can't reach them till Monday. Meanwhile I get charged $50 extra a day for late fee. Should I just pay the total now then tell them they're overcharging me on Monday? I'm so pissed off and annoyed! I am a good tenant & never late on rent! 😠

need help! Big John toilet seat and kids....

Hey everyone. Just learned I'm going to be babysitting my six-year-old cousin for a few hours this afternoon at my place. Thing is I only have one toilet and it has my giant Big John toilet seat on it. Have you ever had a little kid be able to use this toilet seat? I want her to be comfortable so what else could I do for her? I just don't want her to fall in or be freaked out by it. Thank you.

Freezing and defrosting sausage questions.....

I buy my sausage from my butcher but it's a frozen lump when I buy it. Often times I just want one sausage but I have to defrost most of the clump just to get one sausage. I end up defrosting the whole package and then simmering all of the sausage and then keeping what I need in the refrigerator for the next few days. The leftover sausage that had been simmering gets refrigerated for a few hours and then repackaged and then put back in the freezer. My question is, is this safe? Thank you.

SMO, heat intolerance + 100° weather!

Hey everyone! I am a 335 lb, 56 year-old menopausal woman and I have a hard time with the heat! I don't sweat & my face gets really red like a tomato. Unfortunately at work the thermostat says 75° degrees but in reality it's over 80° indoors. And the air conditioning doesn't go any lower. And that's in 73° weather! We are soon having 100° weather days (plus humidity) and I'm wondering how in the heck am I gonna be able to work in that heat!? Right now I use fans & mist my face & body with water. I ordered some of those cooling towels so we'll see how that goes. Any other tips you guys can recommend? Thank you so much!

Pedestal fan versus table fan on a pedestal?

Which would look better in the living room or bedroom? Thank you.

I need a pedestal fan recommendation please.

I have a table fan that I love and I've had it for about six years now. Of course they don't make it anymore. I need a fan for my bedroom and I think a pedestal fan would be a better idea than a table fan. I don't have a lot of flat surfaces in my bedroom to put a table fan on. Anyway, can anyone recommend a decently priced pedestal fan? Also, I don't need it to be quiet because I like the white noise. Right now my table fan has the perfect noise level at 55 dB. Also I would like a remote control and oscillation up and down and side to side as well. Thank you.

Mango & strawberries questions...

I just cut this mango and had a little bit of it. It's not as sweet as I'd like. Would it be OK to store it facedown on a plate on the counter for a few days to sweeten it up? Is there any way to make it sweeter once it's been cut? Or should I just go buy more mangoes and let them ripen more?

Also, I bought some strawberries at the store. They are not very sweet at all. When I cut them open they are 90% white inside. Is there any way to salvage these strawberries? I like them sweet! Thank you so so much.

[Homemade] Sausage Pasta

Al dente rotini (fusilli)pasta, spicy Italian sausage or whatever sausage you like, tossed in olive oil, pasta water, butter, and seasonings. I like to use Trader Joe's Aglio Olio seasoning. If you don't have that add parsley flakes, red pepper flakes, sea salt, red bell pepper flakes, and whatever else you like. If I had the time and energy I would've sautéed some chopped garlic as well. Top with grated Romano cheese and fresh ground black pepper. I had a piece of bacon on hand so I threw that in as well. I don't usually add bacon to this dish.
