Belden’s Jasmine Asian Bistro: Big flavors, bigger portions

Jasmine Asian Bistro in Belden Village is the spot when you want a ton of options and even more food to take home. Their menu covers everything from fresh sushi to spicy Thai and classic Chinese, and the portions are seriously generous—everyone at our table left with leftovers. The service is upbeat and friendly, and while the kitchen sticks to familiar favorites, the flavors are spot-on. It’s the kind of place that works for groups, picky eaters, or anyone who loves variety without breaking the bank. What’s your go-to order at Jasmine, or what should we try next? #Food #BeldenVillage #AsianFood

This is the third time this week I’ve used the Walmart method, and honestly, that’s why I’m sharing it. Not because it’s flashy — but because it helped when I needed groceries more than once in the same week. Between flu season, missed work, and prices staying high, one grocery run just hasn’t been enough lately. Being able to stretch my budget multiple times took a lot of pressure off and helped me stay ahead instead of falling behind. I’m not saying it’s a fix-all, but it worked for me, so I shared the same thing I used in my bio in case anyone else is dealing with the same kind of week. #WalmartFinds #BudgetStretchedThin #RealLifeParenting #FluSeasonPrecautions #GroceryCostsUp #WorkingWithKids #MakingItWorkAgain #EverydayLifeStruggles

Found this in a soda I got Yesterday from Mcdonalds.

I got a large diet coke from McDonald's and left it in my car overnight. I went to throw it away today and found this in it. Any idea to what it is? #WhatIsIt #WeirdFinds

Ordering pizza on a Wii? It’s back!

Ordering a Domino’s pizza using a Nintendo Wii in 2024 sounds wild, but that’s exactly what’s happening thanks to some creative homebrew fans. The old Demae Channel, once exclusive to Japan, has been revived as the Food Channel by the Wii Link community—now letting folks in the US and Canada order pizza straight from their retro consoles. Sure, it’s a bit clunky and only works with Domino’s (for now), but there’s something charming about firing up a CRT and getting a hot pizza delivered. Would you dust off your Wii for a slice of nostalgia? #Games #VideoGames #NintendoWii

According to a 2015 study by the University of Granada, drinking beer in moderation, one to two beers daily for men and one for women, could actually promote brain health. The secret lies in polyphenols, the same antioxidant compounds found in red wine and dark chocolate. These molecules are believed to lower brain inflammation, boost circulation, and support neuron regeneration. Dark beers like stouts and porters contain the most polyphenols, making them surprisingly good brain fuel when enjoyed responsibly. The takeaway: enjoy your beer, but keep it balanced, your mind might benefit as much as your mood.

What's Really in Your Grocery Store Sugar?

Heads up, sweet tooths! A TikToker found weird, plastic-like bits in her Walmart Great Value sugar that didn’t melt in hot water. While it could be just clumpy sugar, there’s growing chatter about microplastics sneaking into everyday foods. The real money move? Give your sugar a quick dissolve test at home and keep an eye on food labels. And if something seems off, speak up—your kitchen should be plastic-free! #Business #FoodSafety #GroceryShopping

I am a single, disabled, grandmother raising a 13 year old grandchild. I get my disability check, less than $1,000 a month. I pay my rent, utilities, and other bills without any assistance and without any child support from the mother...the father is "unknown". I get $458 a month in SNAP benefits for 2 people. You can do the math if you like, I get $7.53 per person per day to feed us. The average cost per day to eat, cooking at home, is $15 - $25 per day depending on where you live. Most people that receive SNAP benefits spend them like they would real money. Most people buy normal food, not junk food, to last all month and they budget them...like I do. We get half or less than the national average per day to feed our family. SNAP is NOT a flex or anything to be proud of to the NORMAL person.
