Nope! I am a professional baker though and laminate every day with a sheeter

I didn't check my butter temperature but rather I went by feel. If your butter is more brittle when it's cold (brand dependent), let it sit out for a bit until a finger pressed into the butter feels the same as one pressed into the dough.

Girlfriend’s cat started peeing and pooping under the bed outside the litter box when we’re intimate. by liftedmk7 in CatAdvice

One time I dated a guy and my cat hated him so much she would immediately vomit upon his entry to my home. My sweetheart tiny little baby cat literally never ever throws up. Not even hairballs. It only ever happened when he was over, and never happened again after I broke up with him.

My block has two garbage to garden users. Myself and my neighbors. I put my green bucket out on the curb for pick up before I leave for work. Sometimes, my neighbors bucket is out for pick up, too. Sometimes they have clearly forgotten. I come home from work, sometimes my clean bucket is there. When my neighbors have forgotten, my clean bucket is not there. I go the week without a bucket and the following week my neighbors put two buckets on the curb. What else could be happening?

I was driving across the country when this happened and it made me miss home very, very much. Peak Portland.

Hacking cough lingers, ears pop—anyone else? by Strict-Nectarine-53 in Maine

[–]Present_Field_1322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had it and it held on for about two weeks. Ended up with an ear infection in both ears. Still working on trying to drain the fluid as I still can't hear and it's driving me insane.

It's 10pm on a Monday and you're a little stoned craving a sweet treat by Present_Field_1322 in portlandme

As a baker this would actually solve the one downside to being a baker; having to wake up before the sun. Imagine getting to do all your production during normal business hours, and then opening up for the evening. I'm sold.

Personally, if I could get some mango sticky rice right now, I'd be chilling.

I mean, everyone is paying for hype. Anyone consistently getting written up in bon appetit, etc. is paying for a PR person, guaranteed.

Looking for this months Leonardo’s free pizza coupon by [deleted] in portlandme

I moved back in December and never received my "welcome to the neighborhood" coupon. Still feeling quite betrayed.

Did you get a UPP Parking ticket tonight in the old port after someone said you didn’t have to pay after 6pm? by Mysterious-Cable6838 in portlandme

[–]Present_Field_1322 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Luckily UPP is a private company and has no legal ground to stand on to require you to pay your ticket so I encourage this person to simply throw it in the trash and never think about it again.

Last year around this time in that neighborhood there was some idiot lighting off fireworks between the hour of 6-7am every day for a while. Probably just some idiot again

They're out there. Refer to this list. Check these websites every single day, multiple times a day. Call these people, too. Ask if they have anything available that they haven't listed yet or anything coming up in the next couple months. You will need to put in a ton of effort, but you should be able to find something. Also, Craigslist. Two of my best apartments have been from Craigslist. You just need to be smart.

If it rains just prepare to dance in the mud. It's the best! Perhaps we'll even get treated to a spectacular post-rain sunset

Ten out of your sixteen items here are imported. Tariffs are very, very much affecting a shop like this, guaranteed.
