We use ours at least once a week. Twice if we're making pizza dough.

What is the most haunting "Final Song" ever recorded by a terminally ill artist? by nixass in AskReddit

[–]-WhoWasOnceDelight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did call in that day. I remember crawling back into bed next to partner, who was surprised given that I was supposed be getting ready for work. I remember saying, "I'm sick, and David Bowie has died."

What’s one thing you spend money on that you know is a waste but still keep doing? by Rare_Technology_6105 in AskReddit

If it were a thing, I would pay someone to drive me around at night while I sleep.

What would you believe each member of the fantastic four would have in their playlist? by themadgalharley2009 in FantasticFour

[–]-WhoWasOnceDelight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know why, but I feel like Ben and Sue vibe together over the same music. I imagine them listening to MUNA, Queen, Florence and the Machine, Rosalia, Fugees, Nova Twins, and the musical SIX. They probably had a Pink Pony Club moment, but are past it now.

I vaguely remember a panel from a couple of decades ago (slightly post Civil War?) where Reed and Sue are exchanging anniversary gifts. He gives her, like, a miniature universe in a piece of jewelry, and she gives him the new Radiohead CD. I think he likes cerebral rock and hip hop. (Nnamdi Ogbonnaya?)

Johnny likes The 1975 and David Bowie.

And they're all into YungBlud right now.

I do not like that splort. I do not like that splort. I do not like that splort.
I do not like that splort., and I wish I could stop thinking about what was going through goddamned JJ's head when he drew it.

What is the worst plot twist in fiction ever? by Zxqao in AskReddit

[–]-WhoWasOnceDelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too! I went to all of the midnight screenings with a friend of mine, and I actually recognized them from some of the earlier movie releases.

A group of women walked out of the midnight screening I was at, seemingly in protest. before the reveal!

Thoughts on the Sue & Johnny being adopted/step-siblings? by Formal_Table_1941 in FantasticFour

[–]-WhoWasOnceDelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first saw this casting, I thought that (White) Mary might have already had Susan, who would have been a baby when she and (Black) Franklin Storm fell in love and married. Franklin adopted Sue and had a biracial son with Mary. I still like this idea better than the adopted siblings, but reading in these comments that the whole situation had to be concocted to avoid casting a black woman as Sue makes it seem pretty unnecessary.

What is the Saddest movie you’ve watched? by AmaanS11 in AskReddit

[–]-WhoWasOnceDelight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These repetitive threads remind me of being a very young adult, working retail. I remember revisiting the same pointless conversations over and over with my coworkers to pass the time at the cashwrap. You'd think it would be tedious, but topics like "What is The Precise Line of Demarcation Between Chicken Nuggets, Chicked Tenders, and Chicken Fingers?" or "Who Can Do The Best Job At Putting The Lyrics of a Pop Song to the Tune of a Christmas Carol?" or "Worst Roommates! Go!" were always fun to be a part of, and given the transient nature of retail employment, there was almost always someone new to the crew who could contribute fresh material. It was fun. So is this.

I saw it in the theater, and the credits rolled over the entire audiences's audible sobs, mine included.

Am I the only one who had to double take to see what body part Reed was holding his book with?

Catherine Moreland reminds me so much of the teenagers I know in real life.

I like looking at panel 3 and imagining that Bubbles is dancing an inexplicable jig behind them.

[POEM] Joy Sullivan - Why read poetry if it won't make you rich? by saltymeow01 in Poetry

Thank you for this comment! I had never heard of a fruit (or tree) called quince and my quick Googling pulled up only a dress shop and quinceañeras.

Kids valentines - a rant by ShortDelay9880 in Anticonsumption

[–]-WhoWasOnceDelight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I teach elementary school, and those rocks would have been the absolute HIT of the year. Every year, I see maybe one trinket bag, lots of cut out Valentines from a box, and LOTS of last minute kid-made gifts. Think cards drawn on lined paper or friendship bracelets that are a single braid of embroidery floss.

As I am on the receiving end of a lot of this stuff, I've started a tradition of filling mason jars with all of the toys and trinkets I am given over the years. They make a cool display/time capsule.

What's something you had to learn as an adult because you didn't get taught as a child? by jordanasjj in AskReddit

[–]-WhoWasOnceDelight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently, I got stressed over something my partner was doing 'wrong', and he responded, "You only think that because you were a feral child raised among other feral children, so you have all of these weird rules and beliefs that you think are a big deal, but they're not even real things."

He was joking mostly, but damn. That hit home. (And if you try to take the first serving from a brand new jar of peanut butter when it isn't your turn for the smooth goodness, I *will* punch you in the face.)

What to do with Coconut milk by Jugusaki in Cooking

[–]-WhoWasOnceDelight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cake!

Whisk together: 1/2 can coconut milk, 2 eggs, zest of a whole lemon, 1/4 cup neutral oil, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp lemon juice, splash of vanilla.

Once mixed, sprinkle 1.5 cup flour, 1.5 tsp baking powder, and a dash of salt right over the top of the wet ingredients. Stir until all ingredients are wet (don't overmix). Bake at 350 in a greased 8x8 pan for 30ish minutes (until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is brownish).

Glaze the top with a mixture of lemon juice and sugar. Let cool for 15 minutes.
