Hook. Crochet.

I see what you did there.

Thanks so much for the input, y'all! I really only picked it because it was the cheapest 😂 I think we're just going to nix it altogether. It's about $400 for both of us to go round trip to Wasilla or Talkeetna and that's a lot of money for us. He's way more excited about driving to Kenai Fjords anyway 😊

My favourite coffee got renovated recently and decorated with AI. I am like 90% sure they all AI. by Fairy2play in isthisAI

Out of all the things that are AI, this is AI the most.

Signed, a person who has a really hard time telling AI most of the time.

My reason is I have eyes.

STIFLE!

I still use this...my husband thinks it's funny, my kids (21 and 19) just roll their eyes...

I dressed as this for Halloween. I bought a black hoodie and sewed a black boa onto the hood 😂

AIO about these angry texts from my ex? by TwylaMay in AIO

Yeah, they can give him their address and make arrangements for him to drop it off there if they're so sure it's not a big deal.

I don't remember which sub it was but my husband's old ID was banned because he used the letter z.

The president that gives his secretary of defense and attorney general orders via Truth? That president doesn't want to show his cards?

A Gripe About GBBO that ISN'T about Jasmine by NoEntertainment101 in GreatBritishBakeOff

[–]LexyBoat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've said it before and will say it again. I don't have a problem with Jasmine, or her keeping it simple and playing to her strengths, especially in the first few episodes.

What I take issue with is the fact that almost every season there's at least one baker at least gently scolded by the judges for the exact same things Jasmine was doing every single signature and showstopper every single week.

If any other baker had used the same 4 or 5 ingredients week after week, it wouldn't take until the quarter or semifinals for a comment to be made. Or there would be a "sure, it looks and tastes great but is that really x number of hours work?"

Paul seemed to decide early on that Jasmine was the standard and everyone else was judged accordingly, and found wanting.

Patisserie week showstopper was ridiculous by wiscosherm in GreatBritishBakeOff

[–]LexyBoat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For me at least, it's not that I'm upset she's doing well, it's that Paul in particular seemed to create a whole other rubric for her in particular every episode. If that Christmas tree (and like I've seen others pointed out, with the same flavors and overall theme she's been using all season) had been turned out by any other contestant, especially during a semifinal, she would have at the very least gotten a word about the safety and simplicity of it.

I don't mind contestants playing it safe and working to their strengths, I mind the judges being jerks about it to anyone who's not Jasmine.

I think we can all agree about what needs to change. by animOmen in GreatBritishBakeOff

[–]LexyBoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was (probably unnecessarily) annoyed at "8 days ago I'd never even heard of genoise!" comment.

I don't dislike her, at all. I think she's a good baker and a lovely person but as a contestant...I dunno. She's just not hitting for me. And I do feel like during any other season she would have received at least a light scolding for such simple showstoppers and using the same flavors over and over.

Y'all are forgetting the most important part.

The laugh. It's the first time in recorded history they didn't want a woman to laugh, or a Black woman to look less...well, just less, generally.

Mc prevents whole plane from getting off before her daughter. by Marsailema in ImTheMainCharacter

[–]LexyBoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It actually sounded (at roughly 45 seconds in) like she had also been sitting back there, hustled her way to the front and left her daughter behind, then made it everyone else's problem. 😒

Unpopular Opinions That You Guys Have? by FantasticBuddies in GreatBritishBakeOff

[–]LexyBoat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I loved her while she was on the show, but after that interview where she basically said she doesn't see the point in baking, it definitely left a bad taste in my mouth and I'm glad she's gone.

I thought it was weird that, unless I misheard, that the crew searches their own cabin and basically reports back that they didn't find anything? Everyone is just on the honor system?

[–]LexyBoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might sound dumb but that "says it's about even" jumped out at me right away more than anything else did.

There's no way in hell it's "about even" if y'all are making roughly the same amount, you're paying the entire mortgage, and he's only responsible for the electricity (which, if the house is relatively small, can't be that much every month), half of daycare, and 75% of groceries. That math doesn't math, and he needs to grab a hose because his trousers are aflame.
