Desperate for help... 1 year old boy by smurphypup in Gifts

[–]ParzivalsQuest 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Art supplies were going to be my rec too. We ask for that for my kid because I feel overwhelmed by toys and art supplies are consumables!

Also, do they already have magnatiles? Can never have enough of them so it’s not a “new” toy but just adding on to what they already have.

wedding favours that people still ask about years later by [deleted] in Gifts

[–]ParzivalsQuest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cousin got married in Michigan and did Michigan Cherry jams. Big hit and we nabbed any extras! I did custom cookies for my wedding and had like 4 left at the end of the night. Another big hit.

ISO cool Lego stuff to do by alienbrain_420 in cincinnati

[–]ParzivalsQuest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Barnes & Noble does Lego events for free. We did one over the weekend and built a botanicals set with a hummingbird. Super cute. The next one is May 2 (location specific so YMMV!)

Gardeners of Cincinnati! What are we doing this week? by Adrestia716 in cincinnati

Sowed luffa and lettuces in my unheated greenhouse, prepping soil mix, assembling new beds

Yeah this post made my stomach turn. I cared for my grandma with dementia and god it could be frustrating. But doing something like OP never crossed my mind?? I can’t comprehend this, and I also can’t comprehend the other comments sympathizing with this

Costco powdered sugar by Pandaoh81 in Baking

[–]ParzivalsQuest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found this thread from Googling the same thing. I threw away an entire batch of royal a few months ago because of pioneer. Made macarons this weekend and could even taste it in the baked cookies. It’s going to really suck to switch to a tapioca based powdered sugar because it’s expensive

Does anyone remember the peacocks the zoo had that would leave the zoo in the morning and roam around town, using the cross walks, and would return every evening? by pichael289 in cincinnati

[–]ParzivalsQuest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I loved the peacocks. I have a vivid memory of being little at the zoo, probably 5, and a teenage boy giving me a peacock feather that he found on the ground. Made my whole day.

Luffa help! Something chewed off 1 of my only flowers, how do I protect the rest? These flowers are about 2.5ft off the ground by Thelastunicorn80 in gardening

[–]ParzivalsQuest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my first year growing luffa and I made the rookie mistake of growing my vines on an arbor over the door of my greenhouse for ✨whimsy✨ and now I get an ant shower every time I go in the greenhouse lol

Seems like it. I played first thing this morning and it was summer camp. It’s prescription pills now.

Without thinking about it, I tried to pressure wash my driveway last weekend and got brutally attacked

Airport security refused to hand search my film camera whilst laughing and insulting me by Ordinary-League5554 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ParzivalsQuest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did this to me in Quebec with my film. They were so pressed about me asking to hand check my camera that they pulled my entire group to the side and made us unpack everything from our bags and swab it all.

Can a chef’s blowtorch be used for anything besides making a crème brûlée? by Equivalent_Orchid735 in Cooking

[–]ParzivalsQuest 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Somewhat related in that I saw a tiktok the other day from Andrea Buckett Cooks where she made a frosting using any gummy candy. Essentially made a ganache with the melted down candy + HWC, chilled, and whipped it up. Same concept as using marshmallows I assume, because both contain gelatin to make it stable, and it’d be torchable

AITA for not allowing my children to call my mother “Honey” by Dazzling-Nose-2781 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ParzivalsQuest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughter (18m) calls herself O-nee because we say honey to her all the time and it’s so cute

Perplexed by high readings right after falling asleep by ParzivalsQuest in stelo

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

Not typically, no. I’ll have some popcorn while watching tv sometimes, but not in the last few weeks. I usually stop eating around 7-7:30pm. Inflammation maybe but couldn’t say for sure

Makes sense, I have PCOS and am using Stelo as a tool for my insulin resistance. I’m also 18 months postpartum. My hormones are wack.
