  • @aspiringauthorerinrail2890
    @aspiringauthorerinrail2890 Рік тому

    Haha! I know how you feel about losing the words when your computer dies, but for me, it's when I watch TV when I write and I get distracted, and I'm like "well damn. Where did those words go?" 🤣 I probably shouldn't watch TV while writing, lol. Anyway, for the computer, I went to get a new Mac, and I wanted the pro, but the guy at Apple, convinced me to get a Air, because of the charger. The magnetic strip, is better for charging, and the Pro has old hardware. The Air is also good for writing. Plus, he saved me a lot of money, lol! I think Veronica Roth said to get over writers block was to force yourself to write, even if you don't want to. So, you're on the right track of forcing writing sprints! Lucky, I haven't had that much writers block lately.

    Wrap your hamburgers in foil and bake for an hour. You can add in whatever spices and veggies you'd like. Or bake a potato next to it. The slow cooker/crockpot version cooks on high for 2 hours. I put two burgers in the bottom of either a 2- or 4-quart slow cooker/crockpot, put onion chunks and potato chunks on top. I'll also put pats of butter between the burgers and on top of the burgers, and on top of the potato wedges. Season each layer the way I like, and cook for 2 hours. I don't add any liquids to the slow cooker/crockpot, as the butter and grease from the meat is all that will be needed. I tend to eat the burgers like chopped steak, but you fix them however you like. Then, all you have to deal with is the pasta.

    • @ChelSierra_Remly
      @ChelSierra_Remly 2 роки тому

      I just watched a video where it said not to boil your pasta. Just put it in a dish and cover with tap water and let sit for 2 hours. It was spaghetti, so thicker pasta may need more time. It would be faster if you brought the water to boil added the pasta, brought the water to a boil again, and then shut it off and let it soak until pasta is done.

    Quick tip: on be real then cameras don't take the pics at the same time, so u can angle your phone after you take the first one. Ex. If you take the first photo as a selfie then you can quickly turn while the screen loads and it will take the pic of your back camera ab 2s later
