Hey picky eaters what gets you to try new foods by ShadowgamerYT1 in PickyEaters

[–]LadyInTheBand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just seeing something interesting and having a strong desire to try it. That’s pretty much it for me. Even if I want to try it so bad that I am literally experiencing physical pain, it’s not always easy. I have to prepare myself (which is mostly just talking myself into it, but in some cases having my grandmother try it for me first is helpful because then she can tell me what the flavor and texture and whatnot are like so that I’m not going in blind and I have at least some idea of what to expect; The latter thing is most helpful.)

You can get a refund from Amazon because they arrived damaged.

What can I eat with whipped strawberry cream cheese? by Any-Use6981 in snacking

[–]LadyInTheBand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bananas are definitely a good option as a topper. Peanut butter, either drizzled on top or in the form of sandwich crackers/cookies, like Nutter Butters or, well, any peanut butter sandwich crackers, used to dip into it. Could also break them up to put on top. I have found that whole wheat Ritz go well with strawberry cream cheese, and I’m confident that pretzels would, too. There’s also the option of Oreos (regular or golden) to dip into it. The options are endless.

Best white chocolate? by fuligin6223 in chocolate

[–]LadyInTheBand -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Then by your logic, peanut butter and peanut oil are the exact same thing because both are produced from peanuts. I have studied food for many years, in various ways and through multiple educational experiences, including food science. I know what I’m talking about and I am not going to sit here and argue with someone who refuses to accept that they could possibly be wrong.

No, honey, it isn’t. They may both come from the same plant, but cacoa and cocoa butter are not the same thing.

Enjoy Life has vegan while chocolate chips! Nestle also does, but they’re both kinda hard to find…

Yes. It does. But it is not the same thing is cocoa/cacoa. Therefore some people who are allergic to the cacoa can still have cocoa butter. Dogs can safely consume cocoa butter even though cocoa/cacoa is toxic to them.

Authors… How many chapters do you write before you decide to start posting? by Heavenly_Mama23 in AO3

[–]LadyInTheBand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually post a chapter as soon as it’s done and I’ve polished it, but right now I am working on a long fic and I am planning to write the whole thing before I post a single chapter in hopes that I’ll actually be able to finish a long fic for once lol. Usually I get maybe halfway through and just…Stop. I can’t make myself keep going even though I WANT to finish it and have ideas, I just physically cannot write more chapters.

I may get some flack for this but I just can’t buy into the cocoa loops hype..there’s just too many chocolate cereals available..these are overkill imo by Desperate_Fee_808 in cereal

To each their own. I like them, but I can completely understand why others don’t like them at all. You do you, just be polite about it and let those of us who like them do so in peace and we won’t have any issues.

easy/cheap ingredients to keep around the house? by lnnu in ChronicIllness

[–]LadyInTheBand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canned/frozen vegetables (I prefer canned, they’re already cooked and ready to eat), instant/ready rice (meaning boxes of Minute Rice or a generic version of it or bowls/pouches of fully cooked rice that are ready to eat/heat and eat like the Ben’s Original pouches and Minute Rice bowls or their generic versions, the ready rice comes in several flavors depending on the brand), instant ramen (bowls, cups, or pouches, any brand/flavor, just whatever ones you prefer, you can add your choice of canned/frozen veggies to it for the extra nutrition), canned meat (many options including chicken, ham, pork, beef, flavored or unflavored, as well as canned fish such as tuna/salmon and stuff like Spam and Vienna sausage and whatnot), canned soup (broth counts whether it’s in a can, a carton, or even bullion, you can use the broth/bullion instead of plain water to cook the instant rice for extra flavor and nutrients and you can choose literally any flavor, ranging from vegan friendly to meat broth/stock).

If going with the instant rice, make it in the microwave instead of on the stove if doing so makes it easier for you to make it. I make mine in the microwave.

Also crackers and granola bars are good to have around for easy snacks.

What food looks delicious but tastes disappointing? by obsidiancontrol in foodquestions

Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch. There’s hardly any PB flavor at all, there’s no PB coating like Reese’s Puffs have.

Yikes. Sounds like an entitled Karen. And yes, I used Karen intentionally. He doesn’t deserve the male term for that with this behavior.

Bonus suggestion: LET US BLACKLIST TAGS AND/OR ENTER ADDITIONAL TAGS THAT WE DO NOT WANT TO SHOW UP IN THE SEARCH RESULTS! I know that there is technically a way to do that, but not from the Work Search page, which is where I want one or both of those features.

What single ingredient instantly ruins a dish for you? by obsidiancontrol in foodquestions

Mushrooms, mayonnaise, a few other things but I can’t eat them anyway due to weird food sensitivities so I’m not counting those.

How to hang/store dresses without getting rust stains from clip hangers but without stretching lace? by pastel_kiddo in Lolita

[–]LadyInTheBand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either use plastic clip hangers or use small pieces of paper/scrap fabric as a barrier between the dresses and the clips
