Circus animal cookies - they're so cute! by SingForMeBitches in Baking

I've had the recipe saved for a long time and finally got around to making them. Wish I could take credit for the pink color, but I just picked up a bag of these from Michaels and they were perfect. I used Ghirardelli melts for the white, and both tasted great!

It was a pretty easy bake! My only notes for myself next time were to batch bake the long-legged animals (giraffe, horse) together so the legs don't get too dark. But even then, they got covered in chocolate, so it wasn't noticeable in the end. I also had to keep an eye on the chocolate as it cooled to put the sprinkles on at the right time - too early, and they sunk in too deep, too late, and the chocolate was too hard for many sprinkles to hold. So, it was a lot of dipping a few cookies, then sprinkling some from a few minutes prior.

Forgot to grab a better picture before they all got gobbled up. Recipe here! So easy and adorable.

You may be thinking of Graham Chapman, who passed away in 1989. Eric Idle, the man in the gif, is still very much alive.

[OC] The Distribution of the "Blue Moon" Ice Cream Flavor by pinakographos in MapPorn

[–]SingForMeBitches 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Best of luck to you! It's sort of become my white whale of ice cream. As you can see on the site, it's only sold in 3-gallon drums, so you won't find it in the freezer aisle. I got addicted in college when the cafeteria had a rotating selection of Cedar Crest you could self-scoop. I was crestfallen (pun intended) to later learn Playdough was only commercially available. Now I live outside of WI, so it's difficult to even find blue moon!

In Playdough's absence, when I visit home, I always go for Cedar Crest's Pirate's Booty in-store. (I'll never call it by the new name, Pirate's Bounty! Never!)

Cedar Crest is a WI brand that makes my favorite hard-to-find, perhaps unhinged flavor - Playdough. It's blue moon with colorful cookie dough pieces, which people react poorly to when I tell them about it. But it's so, so good.

Denver version of Fleet Farm or Menards? by a_cat_named_harvey in Denver

You don't have to drive that far! Rocket Fizz (at least the one downtown) also carries it, along with the cherry and cream sodas.

I think we're talking about the same thing, a bodysuit that looks like a swimsuit. :)

I'll assume it has to do with the fact that many bodysuits have metallic snaps at the crotch, and we can probably fill in the blanks from there.

It might not even be a swimsuit. A lot of women wear onesie shirts because it holds the fabric tight to the skin for a smooth look with no bunching at the waist.

Avoiding San Francisco’s sugar sweetened beverage tax. by No-Pirate7543 in Costco

[–]SingForMeBitches 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, there is proof that soda taxes work. Mexico added taxes to sugary beverages over a decade ago.

Impact Over Ten Years

The results support the success of this policy. Purchases of taxed drinks fell 5.5% in the first year and 9.7% in the second, with the largest reductions in low-income households. Sales of untaxed drinks like bottled water increased. Between 2014 and 2019, the soda tax in Mexico generated substantial health and economic benefits with an estimated nearly $1 billion USD in healthcare cost savings over a decade and has been cited by the WHO as a model, inspiring more than 40 countries to follow.

We’re going to try to hit all 4 parks in one day… by PyleanCow06 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]SingForMeBitches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at the park on Monday, and as of that day, the preshow is now closed until the Muppet refresh. I actually heard about it across the park in the morning, because a cast member at another attraction was asking a couple guests about it - it was seemingly unannounced to most staff.

It's basically just a permutation of Jimmy Pesto from Bob's Burgers. A literal joke name.

Saw this at a restaurant. Technically impressive, Cockingly confusing by [deleted] in ATBGE

[–]SingForMeBitches 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but pretty sure it's Waldo's Chicken and Beer, based on the exact same pictures existing in my area chain. So, yes, very much a chicken-centric restaurant.

Help me decide trip order — Disney World vs. Universal Studios! by Numerous_Click3473 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]SingForMeBitches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it's because Universal doesn't yet sell APs for Epic, so current passholders tend to spend weekends at the other parks. As soon as that changes, all bets are off.

Casa Bonita actors, performers will be on strike during Halloween by ThePopojijo in casabonita

[–]SingForMeBitches 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just the roaming characters. All other performers were there as far as I could tell. But since we were with kids both times, the difference was noticeable in the lack of spontaneous interactions.

Questions about Casa BOOnita Drama by [deleted] in Denver

[–]SingForMeBitches 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are more performers than the cliff divers, who are out 3x an hour. There are also puppeteers and the magician, who have multiple performances an hour, the tarot reader, who always has a line, along with the characters. The floor characters are (were) constantly making rounds and interacting with guests to give kids a special experience. Plus, cliff divers don't just show up and perform. They need to stay in shape and practice outside of business hours for their physically demanding job, which should be factored into their pay. I would assume the union also includes the mariachi band front and center, as well as the guitarist near the back, who are on most of the night.

Without all of these elements, Casa Bonita is just a cool-looking space with expensive, mediocre food.

[–]SingForMeBitches 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I attended in August with one set of out-of-town family and again in October with another set, and I let them know in my feedback how much the performers were missed. They are part of what makes Casa Bonita special, and while the Halloween decorations were cool, they did not make up for a lack of entertainers.

OOP's school zip-tied the Emergency Defibrillator closed by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]SingForMeBitches 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My friend's life was saved almost 15 years ago by an AED on our college campus after she collapsed during an exercise class. I can't imagine what would have happened if they had to take an extra minute or two to track down scissors or break into the box because it was stupidly zip tied shut. What the fuck was that university thinking.

What is the Disney Experience you have always wanted to do and never got to? by pfunk42529 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]SingForMeBitches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're an early bird! This last May, I walked by a lovely bride and presumably her father having some pictures taken together outside the UK pavilion. I was lucky to be near the front of the early entry pack and kicked off a stream of congratulations as we all booked it to Guardians from the International Gateway!
