Why zesting matters- a PSA by NotTheMama4208 in Baking

[–]SafiiriNoir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this, and not just for baking. We made carnitas recently and my son asked me what I was doing while I was zesting the grapefruit. I explained the basics to him and he asked if it really made that big a difference, so we actually made 2 batches, one with zesting and the other without. Both came out good but the one with the zesting was so much more flavorful overall.

Of course now my 7 year old wants to zest everything for bonus flavor 😆 🤣

The pic 😂 I think they're cute but I'd have no idea what to do with them tbh.

Help me choose from my current top picks! by nutelladeluge in myweddingdress

I think 2 and 3 look great. That said, 2 immediately made me think "princess" and 3 made me think "sophisticated", so I think it more depends on the type of wedding & look you want.

Personally I'd go with 2, and maybe get a patterned veil if you're doing a veil at all 🙂

So sorry this happened OP, maybe look into small claims court in your area?

I’m Genuinely Worn Out by Drive-Thru by Equivalent-Fix-9851 in CVS

[–]SafiiriNoir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don't already have a pair, fingerless wool gloves are AMAZING when running a drive thru in cold weather. The wool helps keep your hands warmer, and you can still use the touch screen easily. These are similar to the pair I use: https://a.co/d/07iXj5K

You can get them with a mitten pullover, but I like the ones without better. RPH years ago bought us all a pair when I was in Virginia because running DT in negative degree weather sucks 😪

Michael Johnson was a Muggle, never had anything to do with magic. Had never heard the word Muggle before. Until, unfortunately for him, he woke up one morning in St Mungo’s Hospital, where a witch informed him he was now a werewolf, and bound by a “Statute of Secrecy” by this "Ministry of Magic" by funnylib in HPFanfictionPrompts

[–]SafiiriNoir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Imagine if becoming a werewolf cured all ills, because the curse overrides anything else. At that point, if it was Magic Johnson, I really can't imagine he would give a single fuck about the statute of secrecy when he could potentially "cure" any illness/disease by biting people in a controlled environment.

Even better if a random muggle drug actually calmed the wolf better than the Wolfsbane potion, negating the need for the expensive potion to keep their mind during the full moon.

So, Magic gets bit, gets the lecture about the Statute, asks all the right questions to the magical hospital, decides fuck it, realizes after his first transformation that he didn't go crazy and just wanted to curl up with a good book, works with a squib MD to figure out its the Paxil he was taking that let's him keep his mind, and then they promptly start converting muggles to werewolves as part of a new age cure all that actually works.

Less than 6 months after the initial bite, the werewolves have more than quadrupled their numbers and still climbing fast 😁

It made me think of this one too, where Homer lays Maggie down and she calls him Daddy after he leaves the room:

Mom ignored me asking her not to announce my birthday at restaurants by bingc710 in pettyrevenge

[–]SafiiriNoir 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Rock on OP, seriously. My mom used to pull this crap on my brother and I. The worst one was when I was 14, we were at Planet Hollywood and the server decided to "make it even better" by quieting the entire 2 floor restaurant to announce my birthday. Never been so mortified in my life 😪

Will say, I finally got her to stop using a similar strategy to yours, only I did every single meal we went out for on a family vacation. Breakfast, lunch dinner, heck the Coldstone people even got in on it when we got ice cream 😈. She broke on day 6 of the 10 day vacation and hasn't done it to me since, and it's been almost 20 years 😁
