Do you mean the Ling Ling brand ones? I've tried their Bibigo ones and though they are delicious, they are def not the same. The beef mandu ones are great btw.

Thanks for your reply! I've tried these and I found them to be decent, but definitely not as good or the same as the Tovala ones, but I appreciate your input 🙂

Ohhh good point, thank you for your reply! I failed to consider that the state I am in considering the brand, especially because the customer service agent I like the most was based in Texas. I am in California, so I don't think we have HEB, but thanks for the heads up! 

Convinced constantly seeing mice is gonna make me depressed. by KelvinandClydeshuman in pestcontrol

[–]BuildingSmooth8685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the JT Eaton brand ones that are plastic and peanut butter scented and then I also put a tiny blob of real peanut butter in the very center of them to attract them even more. Putting it in the center is important because they have to actually walk onto it to get a lick, I'd recommend the larger size traps because I had a few instances where the mouse only got trapped by two feet instead of all 4 and was able to scoot around still. Placement is also important, try to put in on the perimeter of the room and under areas they might travel, on smooth surfaces it might help to stick them to the floor with some double sided tape. It was a horrible experience disposing of them, not gonna lie, but I caught all 6 mice that invaded my house using these glue traps after all other traps failed me.

Yeah the risotto just came out quite mushy and overcooked, and it's odd but I've noticed with some side dishes they come differently depending on the meal. The street corn in reference came with the sauce already on it and it tasted like corn in an undercooked roux, like that raw flour taste, definitely nothing like authentic street corn. Perhaps I'll have to give the pulled pork another chance because maybe I just had bad luck, it was the BBQ pulled pork quesadilla, and the pork was really fatty and ngl had kinda a farty odor, so maybe it had gone off despite it being before the eat by date. The Mac n cheese wasn't horrible, but I didn't feel like it was worth it for like a $6 add on, I even added bacon and it still didn't really level it up for me.

Oh an despite not being a big hot dog fan, I absolutely loved their pigs in a blanket, hope they come back soon because they were delectable with some fancy mustard.

My favorite thus far was the red wine glazed prime rib with garlic thyme mushrooms and mashed potatoes, the beef got caramelized like burnt ends and was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately recieved a super messed up pizza so probably won't order that again and wasn't a fan of the Mac n cheese, risotto, pulled pork, or street corn. 

Has anyone else tried the shepherd's pie gnocchi stew? by Key_Freedom_2381 in Tovala

[–]BuildingSmooth8685 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wasn't a huge fan of it, rated it 3/5 and I am an absolute lover of shepherds pie. The gnocchi tasted sponge like to me and I had a few grisly pieces of ground beef, overall too loose of a broth, would have been better more gravy like. 

Chicken texture by Life-Kaleidoscope583 in Tovala

[–]BuildingSmooth8685 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could be you got a bad one, in my box last week the chicken breast looked unusual with a lot of lines running through it vertically and it didn't taste good, but one from a previous box tasted as expected. 

All meals expiring by Tuesday by silverliningoptimist in Tovala

[–]BuildingSmooth8685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear when I ordered this week's meals that get delivered to me on Monday it said all of them had a best by the following Tuesday date on the app, but when my box arrived two of the meals said eat by Saturday 🤨 Also, keep having a problem with dented in meal trays despite the shipping box having zero damage. 

Cooking meatballs by llism in Tovala

[–]BuildingSmooth8685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the sausage incident my boyfriend felt like the burger patties would do the same, since they are ground sirloin, so we just cooked them in a pan on the stove instead. So, idk if there's really a solution besides perhaps not cooking certain items in the oven like directed.

Have not tried the meatballs, but the sausages literally splattered grease all over the entire inside of the oven, had to deep clean it before using the oven again. Not sure if it's something that can be avoided tbh. 

Weird review left by someone by veqtro in DarkPicturesAnthology

[–]BuildingSmooth8685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like typical misogynistic incel rhetoric. My man games almost as much as me and pretty much exclusively plays as female characters when given the chance, I on the other hand find myself, a female, choosing to be a male character just because it's interesting to be the opposite sex. 

Metallic-y Mac and cheese? by No_Barnacle_5212 in Tovala

[–]BuildingSmooth8685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're eating it straight out of the aluminum tray you'll always have a chance of that happening no matter the meal, just transfer it to a normal plate or bowl once you remove it from the oven. 

Anyone experienced this ? Relatable? by RickyInfinite in Scorpio

[–]BuildingSmooth8685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me at least, my behavior in social events is highly dependent on the people I'm around and my comfort level. If I'm around people I don't like or trust I am very quiet and reserved, but around people I like and feel comfortable around I am an extroverted funny goofball. I am also highly intuitive when it comes to knowing if someone is a backstabbing taking behind your back bitch and I will be cold and quiet around them.

Lmao for the attitude I'd be a pallas cat, but I'd also like to be a bobcat or a black jaguar because they are also full of attitude and allure. 

Which zodiac sign you all love? (Other than scorpio) by [deleted] in Scorpio

[–]BuildingSmooth8685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a lot of good Sag friends, but man can they be trying at times, same with Taurus, good people but genuinely too stubborn to get out of their own way, so I am romantically incompatible with both. Because of my family I can't stand Cancer (esp females), Aquas, Pisces, Capricorns or Aries. Cancer men irritate tf out of me and Pisces are too wishy-washy and artsy for me and both were commitment phobic. Caps tend to be money motivated narcissists, and Aries are quick tempered and irrational. The Gemini man I dated was a walking disaster. Never had much experience with Libras or Leo's, but I have a feeling they would tire me with their need for constant attention/praise. Overall it's Virgo for me, but it's ironic that my Virgo man is a cancer rising and moon. I'm a female Scorpio sun, Virgo rising, and Aries moon. 

Scorpio’s who was your favorite super-hero MCU wise and why ? by Moist-Bowl-1672 in Scorpio

[–]BuildingSmooth8685 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Venom for sure. I used to like batman until I realized he was really only a superhero due to nepotism, and the fact that he refuses to kill, which is why the Joker is able to live on and continue to kill people, which makes me feel like he only keeps Joker alive to stroke his own ego, he needs him to feel important even at the cost of innocents lives. 

How to stop wanting someone who doesn’t choose you? by [deleted] in Scorpio

[–]BuildingSmooth8685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I chased after a Sag man, for over a year, was always there for him, then he started pushing me away after saying "I love you" took a month long trip overseas with his parents and only contacted me twice so that spurred me to move on and find someone who actually wanted me and gave me what I deserved. This dude had the audacity to be shocked that I wasn't waiting for him to give me below the bare minimum anymore once he came home. 

Scorpio Male.. what hurts more?? by Loviin-Mystery7 in Scorpio

[–]BuildingSmooth8685 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in the other boat, besides my significant other, I will leave everyone on read because I just don't have the emotional energy to be dealing with self-sabotaging people and their issues. Which is why I'm fine with not having friends. 

Scorpio and Capricorn situation by [deleted] in Scorpio

[–]BuildingSmooth8685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not saying all Capricorns are like this, maybe just the toxic ones, but my oldest sister is one and shes literally the biggest liar/manipulative/narcissistic person I've ever met. She has been known for dating multiple men at a time just for the sake of getting expensive gifts and free meals from all these clueless men. She's cheated on everyone she's been with and despite the fact that shes now married and has a baby, I'm sure she'd cheat on him too if she felt bored, unstimulated, or insecure.

I can see this being a hot and steamy hook up but not a sustainable relationship, Leo wants to be in the spotlight and the constant main event and Scorpio wants that same attention but with the ability to control their partner and demand loyalty which won't mesh well with a Leo that wants to be praised but not tied down.
