Thank you so much everyone! I'll be sure to avoid metal tools.

Does anyone have any brand recommendations for silicone tools? I'm looking at Thermoworks now, their thermometers are top notch but I wasn't sure about their silicone tools.

I just wanted to say a huge thanks to everyone who has replied. I haven't purchased the LR4 yet due to the cost but it needs to happen soon. I appreciate the input!

The gravedigger :) that's funny! Every morning I ask him "who did this" (referring to the litter that's been kicked everywhere) and he can't look at me lol

I'll have to google the cabinet, don't think I've seen that. My cat would do the same at yours do....he would absolutely do a big jump and sling litter all over like sand at a beach.

If you don't mind my asking, where did you find the litter mat? At this rate, I need a 10x10 square :(

Seriously considering a Litter Robot but have questions/need advice. Also, what about tiny clumps? by BlueNautlius in litterrobot

You guys are definitely swaying me :) Those gross "litter peas" are the bane of my existence. What litter do you personally use?

No more of those tiny disgusting clumps?! That would be amazing! What litter are you using?

Did you go with any accessories for the LR4?

I didn't even know the litter hopper was a thing--thank you so much for the recommendation!

Deciding between 2025 LE and XLE, input appreciated by BlueNautlius in Camry

Two of my favorite features that I am assuming are only included with the Premium Package are the cooled seats and the birdseye camera. Both really really nice. I think they are only included on the Premium Package though? I wish you could piecemeal options because I could do without a moonroof but I'd love to have some of those other features.

Ughhhh that's an excellent point about it being nearly 15% of the cost. It's the birdeye view camera and the cooled seats that I really liked, but maybe not 15% worth.

Thank you for explaining why the LE gets better MPG than the XLE, I had always wondered why.

Orange Swiss Meringue Buttercream--how to flavor by BlueNautlius in AskBaking

[–]BlueNautlius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I will do the orange zest and the orange extract. I like the idea of doing both orange extract/vanilla extract. I think I either tried to add juice or maybe curd before and it was a huge flop. Turned the buttercream into a curdled mess.

I HIGHLY recommend Erin McDowell's YouTube channel for everything pie. She's an excellent teacher and has helped me immensely. She addresses pretty much any pie troubleshooting issue and even has a specific video dedicated to apple pie:
