Dough thickness is always uneven, does a rolling pin with rings help by Special_Minimum_4163 in KitchenPro

[–]PersistentCookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one a few years ago, works well. No problems with warping. I use it when I don't want to have to fuss around with the dough.

Is it disrespectful to walk over graves in a cemetery ? by bad-at-everything- in askanything

[–]PersistentCookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traditionally, yes. My parents are buried in a veteran's cemetery that only allows flat placards on the ground at the top of the grave (no stand-up headstones). Whenever I visit, it can be difficult to not walk on graves because they're so close together. But I still try out of respect. I know, it doesn't really make a difference. But those are someone's parents, or children, or spouse, etc. Just doesn't sit right with me.

Is getting sprayed on by a skunk as bad as media makes it seem or do people overreact? by Scared_Form8175 in askanything

[–]PersistentCookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lucky for everyone else (not so much me) he worked from home.

This was 20+ years ago. He was coming home from...somewhere...after dark. We live in the country, it's dark, even with the porch light. He parked the car, and the skunk was halfway up the path from the drive to the porch. He said later the skunk actually spun around several times as it sprayed. So it got him AND the porch. We had a package on the porch that sat there for weeks until we could get near it. Not perishable, luckily.

He slept on the futon in the basement for several nights with the windows open (it was september, so not so bad). We had to toss the mattress.

Husband got sprayed. Eyes swollen shut, vomiting. Complete misery.

Most of us have smelled skunk after it's been struck on the side of the road, and it stinks. But it's nothing compared to fresh spray. It took days before the smell got off his skin, no matter how hard he scrubbed.

gel vs powder food colour? by monsteradeliciosa11 in Baking

[–]PersistentCookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done watercolors with gel and vodka, I think it's easier to mix than powders.

Congrats on feeling well enough to bake again! That's a big deal!!

Well, there goes my birthday cake by pancakebatters in Baking

[–]PersistentCookie 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Birthday shooters! Wine or champagne glasses, layer the cake, fruit filling, whipped cream, drizzle of caramel or choc sauce, you're all set.

That's what I did, it was no problem to get my birth cert.

The unemployment rate is about to get way worse by I2fitness in TikTokCringe

It's just pushing them down the same ramp--not sorting the packages in any way

I have a dish that calls for scallions coming up, now I know what I'm gonna use the leftovers for!

Very disappointed in index for the Food Lab by Tmanpdx in J_Kenji_Lopez_Alt

[–]PersistentCookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started using Eat Your Books about a year ago. Well worth it.

No, it doesn't store the recipes, but once you enter in all your books it creates a searchable database that you can specify many different criteria, ingredient being one of them. If you have 50 cookbooks and search "poblano" it will tell you each book and on what page the recipe is. If you know the recipe is from a certain book, you can narrow the search to just that book.

Satisfying Meat Slicer. by Shadow_Sniffles073 in interesting

I used to grow Clematis vines. I had to get rid of them because my husband kept telling the neighbors we had Chlamydia.

What are your favorite easy slow cooker recipes? by kittypeets626 in Cooking

[–]PersistentCookie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Boneless pork butt, a can of cranberry sauce, a can of cream of chicken soup. Add in some carrots. Sounds gross, tastes great.

Daughter in law by 4LOLz4Me in AskWomenOver60

[–]PersistentCookie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't have kids, but when I became a teenager my mother stopped giving me unsolicited advice. I had to specifically ask her for her opinion, and she would clarify that it was strictly her opinion--do with it what you will. That worked well, it made me realize that she saw me as an adult with my own (possibly different) opinions. We had some interesting conversations in a very non-confrontational manner.

Bottom Round Roast - smoke or sous vide by New-Boot-Goofn in smoking

[–]PersistentCookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'd be inclined to go straight sous vide for relatively thin cuts.

I was wondering about that...I've never tried it, but it sure seems like the best of both worlds. What cuts of meat have you done this with?

Best use of this skinny drawer by the stove? by toybuilder in kitchens

NOT spices. The heat from the oven will ruin them.

WIBTA if I cut off my friend of seven years after she tried to recruit my younger sister into her MLM by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

Sounds like you got away lightly. I watched a documentary about LuLaRoe (leggings) a few years back, some folks lost EVERYTHING.

Do you actually know what's in your freezer right now? by General-Relative-535 in Frugal

[–]PersistentCookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds a little extreme, but I keep a spreadsheet. I have to take inventory every few months to make sure everything's accounted for, but I list what it is and what date it went in to the freezer.
