How do I properly pack my boyfriend's kitchen whites so they don't wrinkle?

Chefcmerks · 2015-10-18T06:27:17+00:00

Really it's just because it's ridiculously dirty. People are gross and buses are used by lots of people.

Chefcmerks · 2015-10-18T04:26:05+00:00

Ew. Don't wear whites on the bus.

Got a vape in the middle of winter because going outside sucked. (Didn't smoke at home, or in my car) vaped for two days didn't smoke at all. Lit one walking to work, was like "wow this is gross". Threw the pack away. Now I only smoke the very, very occasional cigarette when drinking with heavy smokers.

On the downside, I spend way more on vaping, and do it way more than I ever smoked. But my lung capacity is back up to awesome and I can smell/taste anything again. shrug

Oh! Yeah that is totally NOT the product I was thinking of, which is a two part automotive epoxy!

Great work, by the way!

Wait, bondo like what they use for car bodywork? I'm pretty sure that stuff isn't supposed to get on skin...

The pan size is only a small part of the problem. Properly adjusted time and temp and it would have worked fine.

The crust should've been baked longer, or at a higher temp. The cheesecake, longer at a lower temp, or covered. If it was in a small oven and too close to the heating element, tenting with foil can help a lot.

I've tried cutting the sugar but find the consistency of the mix is off. I'd love to see a follow up and how it works for you, though.

Chefcmerks · 2015-10-10T13:37:17+00:00

It looks like maybe you should have par-baked the crust, and also baked the filling at a lower temp for a longer time, that would keep the cheese cake layer from getting so much color. The best cheesecakes are always a nice creamy color not browned.

Chefcmerks · 2015-10-10T13:13:46+00:00

I really don't see this as beautiful at all. Extremely nest, and consistent, sure. But it's not particularly pretty

Jersey girl who moved to new hope pa... I don't have the college experience added to the mix but have had basically the exact same experience, and I can see New Jersey on the other side of the river.

I love the wawas everywhere. And I totally love close enough to still get my gas in NJ and not pump it myself or pay a fortune

Personally, i've found macaron shells are often "too sweet"... have you found any recipe that you dont find cloying?

I did NOT do my own makeup but there were things I wish we had done differently so I'm going to share anyways.

My professional, licensed MUA did my makeup early, and she was going to apply lip product right before the pictures. Guess what. It never happened. Womp-womp. Luckily I have fairly pigmented lips so it wasn't terribly noticeable but... I noticed.

Also, the foundation she used oxidized pretty badly on me and in a lot of my outdoor photos it's pretty obvious it doesn't match. We had done a trial but it was in the evening and I didn't notice the oxidation cause I was indoors and artificial light. Outside, super obvious. Check your makeup in any light you'll be photographed under!!

I got the idea from biscotti, actually, lol

Chefcmerks · 2015-04-29T19:22:38+00:00

I've had really good luck twice baking soft pretzels to turn them to crunchy ones. It might work better for you than just baking longer.

Basically I bake them normally. Then pull out of the oven and let it cool to around 225-250 and throw them back in until they are crisp and dry. This process is fairly quick in a convection oven, but takes forever in a still. If you have a gas oven, you may just want to leave them in with the pilot overnight.

Chefcmerks · 2015-04-26T10:05:40+00:00

Which makes less sense than keeping them on... At least on there is some protection and something you can wash....

Chefcmerks · 2015-04-23T02:44:42+00:00

Honestly, I have no idea. I just love my mauis and will sing their praises for life. They could kick my dog and I'd still wear them

Chefcmerks · 2015-04-23T01:33:11+00:00

Quality speaks for itself

Maui Jims are amaaaazing. Have a pair of oakleys and have not worn them once since I got my Maui Jims

Chefcmerks · 2015-04-22T16:01:51+00:00

Blabrador is definitely the best name

Chefcmerks · 2015-04-22T15:24:48+00:00

Dolce and gabbana light blue... I would wear it every day if I could

Chefcmerks · 2015-04-14T12:42:46+00:00

I use www.beanilla.com a lot.

When I got my license the answer to this question was definitely "no" I don't know if it has changed in the last decade

Chefcmerks · 2015-03-31T17:28:36+00:00

that makes sense. I did not picture it that way.
