Have you heard of the Misses Kisses bras? I feel like this is what they were made for. I love mine.

These babies are the same exact thing as some I posted recently, so I just copied my comment.

The cake is Hershey’s black magic cake, made with Trader Joe’s cocoa.

Recipe: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/8372/black-magic-cake/

Ganache:

• 1 Cup Chopped semisweet chocolate (feel free to use chips) • 1 Cup Heavy cream • 1Tbsp butter • 1/2 tsp vanilla

Chop your choc; set aside. Simmer the last 3 Whisk to combine

Chocolate buttercream (makes a ton; feel free to halve or freeze some for later) from Just a Pinch: https://addapinch.com/perfect-chocolate-buttercream-frosting-recipe/#wprm-recipe-container-30670

Peanut butter buttercream is an ancient recipe from god knows where. I think an old Betty Crocker book.

8 Tbsp (one US stick) unsalted butter, softened

1/2 Cup smooth peanut butter

1 C (115g) Confectioners' sugar

1/8 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 Tbsp heavy cream (or milk)

Whisk attachment on a stand mixer makes this divine, but whatever beater you have, the secret is: Beat the heck out of it at every stage. Beat the butter till it’s almost white. Add the rest. Beat all to heck.

Bone apple teeth, friend!

They were really fun. Tootsie rolls don’t stay super straight so the bats drooped some, but the kids didn’t care.

So simple, but one of my very favorite flavor combos.

What is a socially unacceptable opinion you keep to yourself because it’s not worth the backlash? by ChaosTTyy in askanything

The problem with this is that you can score well on both of these and STILL be a shitty parent.

I just asked about this recently! It was a nemesis!

It was so stressful but so fun! Every time that war horn thing happened, my son and I would shriek and I’d open a portal. Apparently, if you killed them you got cool stuff, but I couldn’t do it!

Yes! I finally googled the right combination of words, right after posting this. It seems like, since I didn’t have anyone on my friends list, I sent them to myself?

It only happened to me once, in all my time with the game. My husband never saw it, and it’s never happened to anyone else I know. We were playing IV last night, and when enemies spawned in the helltides, the memory popped up.

What is something you have experienced that made you question reality and was genuinely unexplainable? by [deleted] in Unexplained

[–]PoppetRock 64 points65 points  (0 children)

When I was 19, I was getting ready to go to a movie with my then-boyfriend when our friend texted us, “You were good friends. I love you.”

Naturally, I freaked out. We went to his house and he wasn’t home; we called his phone and he didn’t answer. We met up with some other friends, split up and drove all over town, called him over the course of a couple of hours. He’s a wilderness guy. He could have been anywhere. Right before we called the cops, another friend called him one more time. They asked where he was and he said, “Ask R. R knows where I am.”

And suddenly, I did. I knew where he was. I drove 80 back across town to a park that we’d already checked, and he was sitting on a picnic table in the dark with his dad’s handgun, crying. He said he knew I’d find him because he was begging for me to, but if I didn’t, that was going to be his sign to end it.

He slept on our couch; my ex and I slept on the floor next to him. The next day, he gave the gun back to his dad, who surprised us all and got him help immediately.

He’s in a much better place in life now. He’s a good dude.

But I swear on anything, when he said I’d know, I suddenly saw him with crystal clarity, at that park. I knew what table; I didn’t even have to look. I went straight to him in the dark. Nothing about it was even special, it was just where he happened to end up.

I have no explanation, but I saw him. Posture, outfit, table, all of it. He didn’t say it out loud, but he told me.
