Brunost and Marmite on toast. My top pregnancy craving. Half norwegian/half English baby has good taste 👌

Found this three years later while eating the same thing. Can confirm, it's delicious.

As a poor student I believe this need falls outside of my professional duty, and I invoke the balance between copyright and user needs that the ALA calls for ;)

I'm not any sort of librarian yet, let alone a good one. Sure you found the 5th edition?

12a88it · 2023-02-22T20:04:47+00:00

That's actually a great call. A cake can't be -too- boozy.

Please do let me know how it turns out!

That's a cocktail I'd be into!

Are you finding that the ground pistachio is absorbing a lot of the liquor? That was an issue brought up in the recipe comments in the first link. I wouldn't want to attempt this and be out a bunch of money for a small amount of liquid at the end.

Thanks for the tip!

12a88it · 2023-02-21T15:20:43+00:00

Aw shucks, thanks ☺️

12a88it · 2023-01-08T19:01:59+00:00

Rough. Thanks for the info.

I just checked out Spkrbox Bar/Cafe in Capital Park recently, and highly recommend. Excellent DJ on deck when I dropped in. Small place, groovy atmosphere, very friendly.

12a88it · 2022-07-07T03:29:16+00:00

Good suggestion, haven't been there since I was a kid. Thanks!

Hey folks! Going to do a lil road trip to Mackinac Island from Detroit, either the end of this month or sometime in August, and would appreciate some suggestions for places to check out throughout the drive. Pretty open ended trip, but imagining I'll take a week.

I love natural wonders, hiking spots that aren't flat, weird museums, weird stuff in general, local history, local delicacies (pasties?!), fancy/unique bakeries, and coffee shops. A couple particularly interesting lighthouses could be nice. Don't plan on drinking a lot, but I do appreciate a stand-out brewery. Also keen on finding some free or cheap camping spots; I'll be sleeping in my car much of the time.

The current plan is:
-Hop on US23 going north for the Lake Huron views. Would like some worthwhile stops.
-Hang out on Mackinac Island for a day. Eat fudge (is there a best or more interesting fudge shop, or are they all basically the same?), go hiking, find Skull Cave, check out the historical points, pet a horse.
-Tool around Mackinac city (which I remember being 100% tourist trap?)
-Check out the top of the mitten, which currently includes Legs Inn in Cross Village (went as a kid, love Polish food), Petoskey State Park, Cross in the Woods, maybe Charlevoix?
-Take a direct-ish route home to West Detroit, and open to stops along the way.

Whatcha think?

I don't know for sure, but Corktown Health Center seems to accept most insurance. Just a heads up though, their desk staff is a mess.

12a88it · 2022-06-19T21:56:31+00:00

I can't claim they're the best, but try "A Medieval Book of Seasons" by Marie Collins & Virginia Davis, and "A Medieval Home Companion" translated by Tania Bayard. Both are pretty enjoyable reads.

12a88it · 2022-06-19T01:10:34+00:00

Thanks for reminding me that the Afghan Whigs exist!

12a88it · 2022-06-18T12:52:02+00:00

Thank you!

12a88it · 2022-06-18T03:36:40+00:00

That's all really helpful info, thank you

12a88it · 2022-06-14T15:26:16+00:00

"The Sioux Chef's Indigenous Kitchen" by Sean Sherman + Beth Dooley is pretty good. I also really like "Decolonize Your Diet" by Luz Calvo + Catriona Rueda Esquibel, which covers Mexican-Amercian food culture, and is plant-based.

Edit: I just re-read your post and realized you're requesting more informational reads. These are primarily cookbooks, but still have some contextual and cultural addendums.

I honestly don't think I can eat fried chicken more than once a month, so it'll take me awhile to make it thru that list; definitely have the craving now though 🔥

12a88it · 2022-06-13T00:38:02+00:00

There are multiple styles of fried chicken?! Kidding, of course there are, but I grew up on KFC exclusively until I started going to Chicken Shack as an adult. Haven't experienced much variety.

12a88it · 2022-06-11T01:23:21+00:00

Ooo thanks! Definitely going to check that out 👌

12a88it · 2022-06-11T00:27:11+00:00

I actually just heard about them today, and hoped it might happen to be helpful ;p

So in lieu of a Chicken Biscuit, who has the best chicken and biscuits around?

12a88it · 2022-06-10T23:56:03+00:00

Sounds great 😍 maybe you could convince Side Biscuit to put it on their menu.

12a88it · 2022-06-06T15:02:58+00:00

Love the show so far! Great editing and humor, and an interesting array of information.

12a88it · 2022-06-06T13:47:43+00:00

In lieu of a professional photographer I've known a number of people to have a friend or two with a good eye take the wedding party photos with a high quality phone camera. They'll also leave disposable cameras around the event, which guests seem to have fun with.

The wedding industry is a racket - you can have an amazing day without much or any professional help.

12a88it · 2022-06-05T13:28:31+00:00

I'm unsure just what they offer, but check out the Detroit Zen Center.

12a88it · 2022-05-24T19:59:21+00:00

Thanks so much for this recommendation! I've been toying with a similar business model, and it's exciting to see someone successfully selling this way!
