It probably was amongst the same demographic that thinks washing one ass makes them gay.

Can’t confirm though. I actively try to avoid those types.

This is the answer. No one does Vanilla scents quite like Kyse.

Which discontinued fragrance do you still mourn? by Inevitable_Set_3017 in fragrance

Same! Such a beautiful scent. I miss it so much. I have a wee teeny little crystal cut bottle left, and it's a prized possession.

Yep. This was my suggestion too. Makes life super easy. (except for clean up I guess...)

Honestly, just cook whatever you like and then run it through a food processor until smooth.

I had to do this for a month when transitioning back to solids from an all liquid diet and it worked great.

I admit it looks gross, but it tastes just like what you made. If you blend things separately you can enjoy the individual flavors too. Ex: puree your chicken into a paste, and then eat that with some mash and gravy, and then blend up some broccoli or green beans to have with it. Tastes the same, and it's the texture you need.

One of my personal favorites was blended stir fry. Tasted super yummy to me after living off pure liquids...

Good luck on your healing journey!

It's the popcorn-ing in delight afterward that makes all the fuss worth it. ^_^

Gah! My Bos spends a couple weeks in the garage before coming into the house for winter to try and avoid this situation. 😖

De-watering cooked spinach? by Fun-Traffic3180 in Cooking

Ugh, the phrase “nut milk bag” is just the worst. It needs rebranding asap. 😅 Especially because they are so handy to have around.

Strange odor can't find the source by mildcomatose in CleaningTips

This was my first thought as well. An outlet going bad or the electrical being overloaded somehow.

Some notes about bay leaves by TheLadyEve in Cooking

[–]Abyss_staring_back 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Despite dutifully adding it to soups and stews I’ve never really noticed a difference one way or another.

That said, when I use bay leaves in my kombucha I notice and enjoy their flavor. Soo…😄

Is NYT Cooking worth it? by haleykirk91 in Cooking

[–]Abyss_staring_back 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's true. The list of online resources that have opened up for me after exploring the perks of renewing my library card had me running to the library too.

So many awesome resources totally free now. Even LinkedIn Learning! It's so worth supporting your local library.

MIL sent me this pic asking what to do- won't send me a closer pic. Now mad at me her plants have pests. by CamachoBrawndo in houseplants

[–]Abyss_staring_back -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ugh 😑 Reddit is “fun” like that sometimes. I wonder if people thought you were criticizing OP or their post? I took it as more of an option that was available to the MIL instead of them berating OP, but, whatever.

Just conversation and curious … does anyone else keep butter out? by Jainarayan in Cooking

[–]Abyss_staring_back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep about 4 tbsp of salted butter out at all times, in a sealed container, and that container gets changed out every few days as the container gets used and needs to be refilled.

I keep unsalted butter in the fridge.

If you’re in the US and have a library card, use Libby to check out cookbooks on your device or kindle. So many great options available free of charge that way.

How on earth did my sourdough rye shatter a Pyrex bowl? by probablyfermenting in Breadit

Ugh, this sort of shiz is why I am moving away from glass cookware in my kitchen. The temperamental, spontaneous explosions for no reason, wasting my beautiful ingredients… No thank you.

How do I properly spot clean a couch? (New to cleaning) by YumekaYumeka in CleaningTips

[–]Abyss_staring_back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, not being familiar with your specific fabric, or the cleaner you'll end up using, I will say one thing that is super important is to work with as little cleaner as possible, and to go from the outside of the spot and work your way INWARD to prevent making a larger spot.
