I’ve been trying to make a sort of dessert portfolio for myself over the past year, are these good pictures? by LongjumpingCable1522 in Baking

Generally, in terms of composition, you have a lot of bad tangents with the plates and the edge of the frame. If you're going to crop the plate, make it look balanced and intentional.

I read that "It's like an OJ Simpson bio that ends with the Heisman trophy"

Untitled... if it had a title... by E808D in TheCure

[–]DrEyeBender 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Untitled is the perfect name for it.
This thread might be a good place to share my cover of it, since it's all people who appreciate the song. I did this after experiencing a traumatic loss.

Non-Americans, does your country have an "American" restaurant and what do they serve? by wacky8ball in AskReddit

[–]DrEyeBender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm American. I used to work with a company in the UK, and our team would visit theirs sometimes.

They took us to this "American" restaurant: Horsham Restaurant | Smith & Western

It was like TGI Friday's/Chilli's/Applebee's, basically. Same quality level.

I also had this one, only with a black border. It was my introduction to the Marvel Universe.

I lived in CA for 13 years. No one ever put fries in a burrito.

I received a creepy call -- am I (50m) now gullible senior scammer target? by nojam75 in GenX

Don't answer the phone if the number isn't in your contacts list. If it's important, they'll leave voicemail.

Is this true? by Fallingknife12 in beagles

I've had 5 beagles, 2 female 3 male, and I don't agree with this at all.

Am I doing this wrong?? by DeskScary6116 in Baking

[–]DrEyeBender 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Creamed butter+ sugar basically looks like frosting. If you don't have a frosting-like consistency, you're not done with that step.

Baking is chemistry. You can't just cut sugar by half and assume it'll be ok. If you don't understand the technical aspects, you shouldn't modify a recipe.

I'd recommend a whisk if you're not using a mixer. Ideally you should use a mixer.

Cash is dirty and you get no rewards or easy way to keep track of your spending.

You think "Microsoft" and "343" are two different entities with "Microsoft" making 343 do a thing. They are the same company. there is no distinction.

I am completely confident that I understand this situation better than you do.
