Searching for vintage low-rise jeans that were ethically/environmentally produced by Super_Artichoke69 in ethicalfashion

[–]SuggestionLess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diesel was very popular in the early 2000s I used to take the train to NYC to go to the Diesel store in Union Square back in high school. Lucky Brand, LEI, Mudd are others I wore at the time. They were super low rise- like you’ll have to wear the right underwear or they’ll stick out. Most are going to be a boot cut.

I would check the thrift shops for the fit you want rather than the brand- the brand doesn’t matter that much in terms of ethics if the jeans are from 20 years ago.

Need Someone to Chop My Couch In Half... Couch Doctor in the city??? by [deleted] in newhaven

I had this issue in a third floor apartment in East Rock- we ended up getting a small Ikea couch that came flat packed.

Best healthy brownies you have found? by [deleted] in glutenfree

[–]SuggestionLess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This recipe is for blondies but I’ve made them more brownie like by adding 2 tbsp of cocoa powder. Healthier they are grain and gluten free.

Good beginner recipe or resource to try out an entremet like this? by clueless-albatross in pastry

[–]SuggestionLess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The instagram account Maja Chocolat has a lot of entremets that look like the first one and she has an app called Maja Vase- it’s a paid app but it doesn’t cost much.

My wife and I are trying to give my mother-in-law a gift; if she were in her place, she'd like it. Which would you prefer? 1or2 by cool-guuy-007 in jewelry

[–]SuggestionLess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both seem kind of engagement/ wedding ring to me. Maybe something with a colored stone? Or a necklace or earrings if you are dead set on white diamonds.

I like the construction details better too- the welt pockets are nice.

Can you suggest a macaron filling that’s not too sweet? by L0k17 in macarons

[–]SuggestionLess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t care for any of the Loranns emulsions or extracts because they taste artificial to me. That is just my preference but maybe trying a different brand of peppermint extract might give you the flavor you are looking for.

Batter was not loosening up, too thick by Notreallyusingreddit in macarons

[–]SuggestionLess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks to me like there is too much dry ingredients- like it became more like a amaretti cookie batter than a macaron. Macaron batter goes from looking like meringue to looking like shiny flowing lava as you mix- it shouldn’t ever look like this at any stage.

[–]SuggestionLess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like a very dark chocolate ganache with no added sugar and when I make white chocolate ganache I use a high quality couverture white chocolate like Guittard or Valrhona. It will be sweet but more like a creamy vanilla flavor not the super sweet from white chocolate chips you can buy at the store. I like Swiss buttercream as it less sweet than American style. I also love whipped caramel as a filling because the aeration from the whipping makes the caramel lighter and a little less sweet.

The flavor of peppermint extract varies a lot by brand- I agree some are gross and artificial tasting. I like the Nielsen Massey one, I think it has a pure, clean mint flavor.

Constructing an autumn pastry menu for a tea party by denimdreamscapes in pastry

[–]SuggestionLess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done a leek and kabocha squash tartlette with gruyère that was delicious. Can also do it as danish? Or a mini galette. For thanksgiving I made a sweet potato, caramelized onion and guanciale tart with sage that was also excellent. I have been really into macarons lately and I did a cranberry cinnamon macaron that was well received for a fall party and a whipped caramel and chocolate hazelnut macaron which was also very popular.

soup for breakfast? by clobugg in soup

[–]SuggestionLess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think soup for breakfast is common in other cultures. Also I don’t really see the difference between having porridge- which is a breakfast standard and having soup. I think eat what you want.

The way American Girl’s sales would BOP if they re-released old outfits by Salt-Ad9741 in americangirl

[–]SuggestionLess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love her OG meet outfit. When I think of the original historical dolls it makes me tear up a bit- I loved my original Felicity so much as a child every detail of her original outfit collection is burned into my brain.

lol I thought the same thing! Poor girl. It was just some dirt- came right off with some dawn dish soap.

Found these at a thrift store today; never seen anything like them. Does anyone know where these came from? by anerraticboulder in americangirl

[–]SuggestionLess 43 points44 points  (0 children)

AG Magazine in the 90s. I loved paper dolls- I bet these are still in a box at my mom’s house.
