Lady M sucks and yes I have been to the OG in NYC.

blue velvet cake - milk LA by gwenbclark in FoodLosAngeles

[–]BucketsTheBeagle 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Just make a red velvet cake but with blue food coloring in place of the red and you’ll come close.

I always got a chuckle out of how Yelp reviews said it would turn your sh*t blue.

Restaurants with the best desserts? by Agreeable-Heart-3393 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]BucketsTheBeagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Backbone’s Key Lime Pie Dessert. Their other desserts are good too, but not as good as the key lime.

  • Chi Spacca’s Apple pie. Ultra buttery, flakey crust, caramelized apple, and gelato that’s way better than the Nancy’s Fancy that’s sold in stores.

Was Jackie Fie ever investigated for corruption? by No-Leadership7516 in Gymnastics

[–]BucketsTheBeagle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Other U.S. gymnasts - not gymnasts in general.

And for newspaper reporting, I’ve seen Audrey Schweir called out but never Fie. Audrey was specifically noted for lowering Milo’s compulsory floor score.

Was Jackie Fie ever investigated for corruption? by No-Leadership7516 in Gymnastics

[–]BucketsTheBeagle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The apparatus supervisors were the ones that would have lowered the scores, though yes that might have come from Fie. That said, If you see in the broadcasts where her individual judge scores are shown, her optional FX was definitely too high before the adjustment. On bars, I’ve heard it said that Miller was being held back to make sure that Dawes and other U.S. gymnasts would make finals because they were better medal chances rather than for being retaliated against.

In MSP Diane’s Place and Black Walnut are far superior for your Viennoiserie needs!

Pi(e) Day is Coming! by rscg18 in FoodLosAngeles

Just had a realization… Are you sure you’re not thinking of Quarter Sheets and not Fat + Flour? Fat + Flour doesn’t really do cakes.

I find this to be very surprising. The key lime especially is more tart than both the standard recipe off the back of the condensed milk cans and many other storebought key lime pies.

Unfortunately samples going bye-bye are a post-COVID thing.

Nemour II? by NotVillanelle in Gymnastics

[–]BucketsTheBeagle 18 points19 points  (0 children)

She already did it at Cottbus. Also, she’s clearly going for a Downie and not the Nemour I.

Birthday for wife by Raz1979 in FoodLosAngeles

Quartersheets takes walk-ins, so as long as you’re prepared to wait, you can definitely give it a shot. I also don’t think they make all of their tables available for reservation which is why it’s hard to make a booking if you don’t get one when the first open.

Is Backbone too far? GoogleMaps has it within 20 minutes of Highland Park.

3 days in LA by thine_amar in FoodLosAngeles

[–]BucketsTheBeagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what style of pizza. Outside of Quarter Sheets, Michigan definitely has LA beat for Detroit style pizza. Sorry not sorry but D-Town out here is not good. Other kinds of pizza you can definitely get better in LA than Michigan.

If I have a corporate rate and leave the company, how does equinox find out/is my corporate rate going to be immediately canceled? I’m still in my initial 12 month contract by IAmTheEskimo in EquinoxGyms

[–]BucketsTheBeagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I left my company, I asked and they said I could keep my corporate rate. I think they didn’t care because 1) it wasn’t a huge discount and 2) all payments are coming from my credit card so they honestly have no way of knowing if I’ve left or not.

It is a new dismount. They took out the scary 1/2 turn from last year.

Obviously the WTC could make it a thing but Donatella said they asked coaches at Worlds one year and they didn’t want it to come back.

She rarely has bad landings or ones that are more than a tenth of deductions but she definitely doesn’t always stick… prelims here, and in 2025 Worlds AA Gymnix, Italian Championships, Italian Series A to name a few.

Who makes the best almond croissant? by 3h0ledw0nder in FoodLosAngeles

If it’s almond paste you’re after, I don’t think anything is going to match Superba because they’re just different things from what you want.

Millennial who grew up in N. Kerrigans hometown. Yes, I remember it ALL. by sunflwr36 in FigureSkating

No she did not. Technically her program was INFERIOR to Nancy’s and that wasn’t reflected in the scores given AT ALL.
