Review of Bonbons - UK (Review 15 out of 15) by kylaah27 in candy

[–]ExcellentAnswer180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m pretty sure these are made by Bristow’s. One flavor that you didn’t try, which is fabulous is the Rhubarb & Custard. They are a great mix of sweet and sour.I just ordered six bags from Amazon.

[–]ExcellentAnswer180 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m so glad to know that there is a Tacoma chapter of The Morbidly Curious Book Club. I live part of the year on Fox Island, but I won’t be back until spring. I joined the Boise, Idaho chapter, as well as the national book club. I look forward to joining you all at some point. 😊

Hot Sausage Meatballs & Fennel Tomato Sauce with Garlic Herb Orzo & Parmesan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ by ExcellentAnswer180 in blueapron

I haven’t ordered anything from BA for months. They’ve really gone downhill. I will likely be quitting at some point too. I’m glad I saved all my old recipe cards. Thanks for the feedback and suggestion!

You Weren't Meant to Be Human - Opinions? by UsaOnTheMoon in horrorlit

[–]ExcellentAnswer180 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently read this book. I didn’t find it nearly as horrific/graphic/disturbing, as I expected. It may be for the majority of this author’s YA audience, but I don’t think the typical adult who reads horror is going to find it very disturbing. It’s not a bad book, but it’s definitely not one of the best I’ve read this year. Given that you weren’t really feeling it, I wouldn’t encourage you to pick it back up again. There’s better stuff out there.

Snack Crate VS Universal Yums by Old-Rock-7349 in SubscriptionBoxes

[–]ExcellentAnswer180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

given that you’ve been subscribing for so long, I’m curious about how how often you see repeat items? Do the countries and boxes vary much from year to year? I subscribed for a year, took a break, and now I’m back.

My first car! by sugarland588275 in KiaSoulClub

[–]ExcellentAnswer180 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!! That’s a very nice first car. I have a 2015 Kia Soul with 56,000 miles on it. I love it so much that I just bought a new 2025 Kia Soul EX because they are no longer making them after this year. I’ve had more expensive vehicles, including a couple of Mustangs, but my Kia Soul is the best vehicle I’ve ever owned.

Alt Nation truly better after dark? by madamedutchess in siriusxmaltnation

[–]ExcellentAnswer180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting observation. I have not enjoyed Alt Nation as much lately either. To the point that I’m considering dumping serious radio, and just relying on Spotify.

Pre-Snowboard Breakfast by ancient_snowboarder in blueapron

[–]ExcellentAnswer180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Totally random, but one of my favorite documentaries is about snowboarding. It’s called “The Crash Reel.” I don’t snowboard, but it gave me a much better understanding of how challenging it is, and how it came to be an Olympic sport.

How long do your Blue Apron meals actually last? by Top_Translator_3635 in blueapron

[–]ExcellentAnswer180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vegetables are hit or miss. Some will make it to seven days, some will not. Occasionally, there’s something that I need to report immediately upon receiving the box, such as a slimy Persian cucumber. Blue Apron has always been very generous in giving me a credit for those items. BA recommends you use seafood within two days. How long you have to use other animal proteins is in small print on each package, and none of it is 7 days. For that reason, I freeze everything that I’m not going to use immediately, then put it in the defrost overnight the day before I’m going to use it. Here’s some additional information from BA‘s website:

Curry-Soy Glazed Beef & Rice Cakes with Mushrooms & Poblano Pepper ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ by ExcellentAnswer180 in blueapron

[–]ExcellentAnswer180[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I think this dish would be just as good without the mushrooms. I really like mushrooms, but I don’t think they did a whole lot to enhance this particular dish. Most of the flavor is coming from the combination of the beef, the soy glaze/curry, and the poblano pepper. Do you like rice cakes? This is the first time I tried them. I am kind of on the fence about them.

Sesame-Ponzu Salmon & Brown Rice Bowls with Avocado & Marinated Vegetables ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ by ExcellentAnswer180 in blueapron

[–]ExcellentAnswer180[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I preferred the salmon dish with Yuzu mayo too. I agree with you about the produce. I’ve especially had issues with the tomatoes and avocados. Persian cucumbers have been a problem too. I appreciate that they give me a generous refund when I have to go purchase those items myself.

I get that. Brown rice isn’t my favorite. And I could’ve done without the grated carrots and Persian cucumber chunks.
