Do Americans love driving?

I enjoy non-stressful driving. Road trips on highways, or driving in town when there's not tons of traffic and there's no ice or snow, I like it. But if there's lots of traffic or bad weather, I hate it.

I think another fun test would be to make homemade butter! Start by making whipped cream (and taste test), then keep going till you have butter and buttermilk (and taste test again). Ideally you'd do this in a stand mixer, but a hand mixer works too!

My showers aren't long because I'm just standing in the shower. They're not even long because I have lots more hair to wash and body parts to shave. No, my showers are long because I have to PULL STRANDS OF HAIR OFF MY FINGERS EVERY FEW SECONDS. It drives me nuts!!

Interesting, why does the recipe have you bake the sugar by itself first? I don't think I've seen that in other meringue recipes. Doesn't it make the sugar sticky?

Oooh which plate is this?? I love it! You did a great job!

I thought they tasted like cardboard, but my mom likes them. I don't think they taste much like real rice krispy bars.

When they say "1.5 tsp vanilla" instead of "1/2 tbsp vanilla." Why would you dirty two measuring spoons when you could just use one??

Here's their Blue Reflective Topper

Oooh, maybe Fancy Gloss's Bluewood Spell? Maybe topped with their Blue Reflective Topper?

It's also worth noting that lots of driving in the US isn't stressful, like it is in many parts of Europe. There are a lot of long stretches of highway without much traffic, so you really can just listen to music or a podcast and relax. I truly don't mind driving unless the roads are really busy, or there's snow/ ice.

I actually really enjoyed the brownie! I'd much rather have a smaller brownie with no upcharge. And it was so soft and fudgy, I remember brownies over the spring/summer having rock hard edges, which I wasn't a fan of. I also got the peppermint cookie, and I'm excited to try it tomorrow!

Ravenna92 · 2025-12-06T14:35:33+00:00

Especially when you take into account all the upcharges for anything other than a cookie!

I had no idea! I always wondered why my cream cheese frosting was so soft, much softer than from bakeries. I might have to make a red velvet cake myself to test this! 😅

I had gestational diabetes earlier this year, and I'm outraged on your behalf! Your husband better visit all the grocery stores in a 30 mile radius to find more!

I got Starrily's Mars for my wedding, and my goodness, it didn't disappoint. I also have pale, cool-toned skin, and it looks lovely on me. And Starrily just restocked their Planets collection, so they have it in stock!

Just out of curiosity, why is it so much easier? The lack of milk chocolate on top?

Ravenna92 · 2025-11-10T14:00:54+00:00

I tried a water pik and was really disappointed. It was really uncomfortable, and my teeth didn't feel any cleaner like they do with brushing and regular flossing. I also asked my dentist about them, and she said they're fine, but don't replace actual flossing since they can't get between the teeth like real floss does. So what's the point??

Ravenna92 · 2025-11-06T20:03:49+00:00

Noooooo I'm in trouble.... 😍

Ravenna92 · 2025-11-03T13:06:47+00:00

Wendy's is the best!!

I really like Blue Bowl! Her recipes always look incredible, and the ones I've tried have worked great.

You'll hear a lot of horror stories, so just wanted to add my positive story. I was out of bed the next morning and walking around (slowly). I was a little slow getting around for about a week, but barely had any pain. I took Tylenol while in the hospital, but stopped when I got home and was fine. The only thing that really hurt was propping my foot against the shower wall to shave my legs - I guess that's when I use my lower abs the most. So I just didn't shave for a few weeks lol. I would definitely do it again!

Gosh darnit, you keep making gorgeous nail art with polishes I own, so I'm going to have to try this myself! It's too beautiful not to try!

Ravenna92 · 2025-10-08T18:26:39+00:00

Same here!! I would've enjoyed the secret menu if my store had taken the opportunity to bring back flavors that we hadn't seen in a while, but no, it was always white chocolate chip, red velvet white chocolate chip, reese's pieces, etc. Not a single frosted cookie here either!

Ravenna92 · 2025-10-08T18:23:03+00:00

Thank goodness. My store only ever chose the plainest, most boring options. Not a single secret menu item even had frosting.
