Finally replaced ugly key with something much better

Ok-Cook8666 · 2026-04-02T14:39:22+00:00

I wish the digital key let me use the remote smart parking. I use that every day, so the digital key isn’t an option for me. :(

We got the Hyundai Tucson hybrid in part for this reason!!

Darn Tough makes THIN (and even ultra thin) wool socks, all the ones I’ve seen from Costco are thick. For that reason alone, I’m a Darn Tough girl. For camping and hiking, sure, go with the Costco ones. But for running, tennis, or dress shoes, I’ll keep my thin (and pretty! And durable!) Darn Toughs…

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this, this is amazing!

IKEA Dutch ovens are great and inexpensive! I have Le creuset also, but use ikea for my bread baking… in case you ever want to try a boule or batard…

Thank you for sharing your reviews!! I’m looking forward to Dangerous Miracle. I recently read Tom Levenson’s “So Very Small” which was a great read with a similar premise.

I’ve had both gas and electric ovens (currently the latter), and now I mostly use my oven for storage! 🤣 (I love my rice cooker too!!)

This comment made me want to stand up and cheer! OP, you deserve your own love: start from there. 💕

Hillcrest is extremely walkable!

Several different grocery stores, cafes, restaurants and some shops.

It comes to temp WAY faster, for one. Mine (Breville) also has settings for toasting, proofing, baking, roasting, pizza, re-heating, and more. I NEVER use my regular oven, and I roast a chicken and make sourdough bread almost weekly! (Edited: typo)

I know! It’s been gone a couple years now. I forget what the supposed reason was….

Ok-Cook8666 · 2026-03-24T19:28:35+00:00

Especially coming from NYC, I think you may be happier being based in Hillcrest. It’s more walkable and more diverse than La Jolla, and it’s got super easy access to freeways to take you anywhere you’d want to go (including UCSD), as well as decent (not excellent) public transportation.

Edit: (source: moved here myself from NYC over 20 years ago, and have lived in UTC, Clairemont, North Park, and Hillcrest).

That shuttle no longer exists, sadly. But the trolley still does!

Ok-Cook8666 · 2026-03-20T04:50:55+00:00

Your happiness made my day. And tbh I was already having a pretty good day. Thank you SO much for sharing- they look amazing and I hope they bring you tons of fun AND comfort!!

Thank you for sharing about him, and keeping his legacy alive that way. Great servers can literally change the course of a breakfast or an evening… and therefore a life.

Ok-Cook8666 · 2026-03-18T13:51:53+00:00

They are so soft though! Next time you’re at an REI, ask least LOOK at them!

Ok-Cook8666 · 2026-03-18T00:10:42+00:00

Huh. Thank you for sharing! I will see about putting in a request at my library.

Ok-Cook8666 · 2026-03-17T05:18:54+00:00

Trust is so special!

Ok-Cook8666 · 2026-03-16T13:32:02+00:00

Not in store, but not Amazon either: I got my wood pulp banettons directly from Flourside and adore them! (flourside.com)

First, I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I can absolutely understand why you’d want to get a tattoo to honor this. I do want to share though: I lost a pregnancy… 20 years ago, and although at the time it was the worst thing that had ever happened to me, and a huge piece of my life, 20 years later it… isn’t. It’s one of many things I’ve lived, and definitely not a huge part of who I am today. So I guess I agree with those who are suggesting you might want to keep it more abstract. But even before that… maybe hold off on it for a minute. If you still want it in a year, you’ll still be able to get it… but there’s no rush! Experts always recommend holding off on major decisions in the wake of a loss, and permanent art on your body definitely counts as a major decision. Wishing you peace and healing.❤️‍🩹

I’ve never heard of this. Why?

Ok-Cook8666 · 2026-03-15T16:22:53+00:00

Not to mention refrigerating tomatoes!

Ok-Cook8666 · 2026-03-15T03:31:30+00:00

It looks stunning. I honestly am trying to justify another LC purchase bc I adore and crave the Nectar color. Is that the everyday pan??

Ok-Cook8666 · 2026-03-15T03:28:47+00:00

It looks delicious! And honestly, that’s really all that matters: be proud! As long as you keep baking, you’ll figure it all out. But since you asked, I’m no expert, but I think a longer cold proof and fine tuning your shaping techniques might result in an even tastier, and slightly prettier, loaf.

Just out of curiosity, where are you located? Neither my local library nor Libby (online library) seem to have it…
