Dry food

I batch cook and then reheat in the microwave (because it’s quick) but I find a lot of the things come out really dry. What am I doing wrong?
For example salmon fish fingers, fritters, homemade chicken nuggets, chicken curry etc

Probably not using the power/percentage button like you should. It's an underrated and under used button on a microwave.
Try thawing your food at 30-80% power for 60-90 seconds, then finish reheating at 70-90% power for about 60 seconds, then about 30-45 depending on how hot you want it. Also, for the bready food or fritters, add a dampened towel to cover your food so that the microwave doesn't super dry out your food.
It will take a little bit of trial and error, but that should help as a starting point!

Just add a small splash of water to tbe container when reheating

What am I doing ?

I have a two year old girl who I look after practically solo I haven’t had a night off since she was born. I left my husband in December and moved back to my mom’s. At that time I felt like I had enough as he wasn’t supporting me with our girl and I was still pay half half towards everything. We agreed I stay with him at his mother’s house 4 nights and 3 at my family home. 9 months later I’m pregnant and I have felt so much anger and disconnection towards him. He said he wanted a second child to give our first a sibling and I agreed as he said if I wasn’t going to conceive naturally he would bank his sperm so I could have IVF I was against that why should I. (He was going to bank as he has a low sperm count and we struggled with our first). But now I have built up so much hate I’ve left yet again we are building our home to move in to but I’ve left because I just can’t handle that he does nothing now and he won’t with our second. My sister got involved and spoke with him basically saying it’s over you two can’t communicate effectively so I’m stepping in what are the finances as I have also given a lot of money towards our home and she said I won’t be going back 4 days a week he can do nursery collections and do dinner and get her ready for bed and I will collect after. No it all seems so real I’m thinking I do love him but I don’t love the way I’m treated. I’m afraid I’ve made a mistake and I’m afraid If I go back that will also be a mistake. And I know I’ve been really silly lending money and my name on nothing and getting pregnant I am aware of my stupidity. I just don’t know what to do now. I’m scared. He can do nursery collections dinner and everything now I said I’m done but he would when I was there it was all down to me. Sorry for the essay

I am so lonely that it hurts

I have a wonderful husband, and super little boy. But what I lack are just normal, platonic friendships. And honestly? Back in the day I had more replies on Tinder than I do here, lol. I now know how the men feel with online dating, just expected a lower bar for a "chat and see of we can be friends" than there is for "you may one day be the father of my children,". Alas, no such luck. I sit here with sent messages like breadcrumbs, but not even a crow would bother to pick them up l.

Is this dramatic? Probably. But I've been so lonely for so long, and finding this app gave me hope. I mean, seemed like an app app about lonely women seeking connection.

I dunno. End rant, I guess.

Over it!!!

I think I’m not meant or ready to be a wife. I’ve been together and living with my partner for 3 years and although we’re engaged now. I’m happier when he’s not here!!! I don’t like to have sex with him nor do i want to have conversations with him. There were things that happened between us that turned me off. We have a one year old together and I think I’m just not ready to start this new chapter!!
Anyone feeling or going through something similar?
