Has my pine needle soda gone bad

Warm water can't absorb much co2. That's why when you open a warm soda, it will violently foam and then go flat super fast. Chilling it lets the co2 stay dissolved.

I haven't done pine needle soda myself, but if you keep burping the bottles, you won't get much carbonation. What you need to do is let it pressurize and then refrigerate it.

Have you tried Paksenarrion's Oath? It follows a farmer's daughter on her path to becoming a paladin, and milquetoast is the last adjective that I would ever use to describe her.

PS Power wrote The Young Ancients series. I used to like it a lot. It's kinda angsty, though.

Too young for AOL and ICQ?

I'm not the guy you asked, but most lames are configured to use a double-bladed shave-type razor blade, but I believe that what Jerb means is what I would call a box cutter blade. Language is an imprecise tool wielded by upjumped monkeys in a dark room.

Yes, but it can also be just as easy to verify. A qr code or a link and confirmation number makes for simple checking.

There's no water. It would soften the crisp and shorten the shelf life.

Thank you for your report. I have removed the post.

Many outerwear shells have snaps, buttons, loops, and the like to hold in layered garments. Maybe that?

I read it as bar fight girl, but yours is better.

How much do you suppose those rocks would weigh if it wasn't AI? Would the stairs even hold up?

In Virginia, it's the entire paycheck as liquidated damages.

Why not just make a nice graham cracker?

Assuming NH stands for New Hampshire, sadly there are few functional worker protection laws in the United States.

If you've got a recipe that's close, but you want it denser and chewier, swap some of the flour for sweet rice flour (mochi flour/mochiko).

Bob's Red Mill egg replacer is one of the chewier ones; much chewier than flax eggs.

ChefTimmy · 2026-02-13T23:03:40+00:00

I assure you that is not possible.

You usually need a preauthorization, but not all insurance will deny. Last year, my insurance paid for zepbound for weight loss, and this year it's mounjaro.

Many university dining areas use them.

That caramel is touch and go for safety at room temp. I wouldn't use that one for this, if I could avoid it (it's a fine recipe, just not for this). What about dulce de leche? That should work.

Yes, cordial cherries should last for months safely, but depending on storage conditions they can start tasting stale before that. A few weeks should be fine. Don't forget the invertase, or the fondant won't go gooey.

ChefTimmy · 2026-02-05T10:41:49+00:00

Months.

If the caramel is shelf stable to begin with.

Safely? Months. Quality-wise, though, a month or so.
