A little late to the party but...

The following is a summary of activity for your Mechanical Turk account for the week ending Mar 17, 2018.

Your HIT activity for this week
- Number of HITs submitted: 171

Approvals and payments that occurred this week:
- Number of HITs approved: 119
- Number of HITs rejected: 0
- Bonus reward earned: $0.35
- HIT reward earned: $74.57
- Total Amount earned this week: $74.92

Didn't quite make the goal of $100, but I've improved every week over the last 5-6 weeks since I started, so that's a little motivating. Unfortunately I usually get the most done on the weekends and I didn't get much turking accomplished today...

Hey guys. I have like 20 bucks for like 10 days for food. I have some rice, but what are some good things I can add to the rice? Like condiments, veggies, etc?
https://cookingonabootstrap.com/ is a great place to look, Jack's based in the UK but their principles are sound. Even if you don't have much of a store cupboard. https://www.budgetbytes.com/ is also a great site, though in my mind, not that budget.
When I'm really pushed for pennies, meat goes out of the window and beans and pulses take over.
So:
Lentil Dhal with rice or home made flatbreads,
Mixed bean chili with rice (I add frozen veg to the rice too)
Chickpea (garbanzo bean) and cauliflour curry which is great on it's own, but goes further is you use rice.

But basicaly what I do is sit down with a notepad and paper, work out what I'd like to eat for 10 days, then look in my cupboards to see what I already have.

Breakfast? Oatmeal or eggs
Lunches PB&J sandwiches
Yeah it's boring and not very inspired but for 10 days when I need to, I can cope with that.
Dinner and snacks is what will eat into your budget Have a look at the part of Budgetbytes.com that's the SNAP Challenge. . If you're really stuck for ideas, PM me.

It's impressive that in a video whose sole purpose is to teach you to tie a bow tie, you can lift a whole section of video out of it where they're not tying a bow tie
I'm not very good at remembering dreams.. :weed:? .. But I'm pretty sure I had a dream at some point recently about tying a bow tie...... Maybe I should re-evaluate things.

Okay, serious question. What are your best times for Brian Z's? I can't manage to get through them in any less than 5 min at a time - and with a full lineup of them they can get a little overwhelming sometimes...

I haven't caught any since last night, though I saw that some people had them today. I think they may have finally dried up.

micky @micky I came across this the other day at Costco. Isn't it pretty? I wanted to buy it just to drink its contents and keep the bottle as a souvenir. And then do that with about 10 other bottles.
