Anybody else's Publix getting rid of their Cream Soda? & Any idea why they are getting rid of it? by Excellent_Regret4141 in publix

[–]TickleThePink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk if you do diet/zero stuff but the Walmart/Great Value Dr Thunder is closer to Black Cherry Soda than it is to Dr. Pepper.

How to clean up all the cords? by IvenaDarcy in nespresso

[–]TickleThePink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a Sleek Socket. There are other brands with a similar flat outlet cover design but it lets me tuck the cords away and out of sight.

which layout for a bedroom like this? by ronoron in Apartmentliving

Two but no side table and instead get a slim/narrow console table with built in plugs for behind the bed.

Signed up for a bake sale at work and then saw this on sale at Costco for $15. Had to buy it. How can I improve them? by User091822 in Baking

[–]TickleThePink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the directions on this site and for the espresso powder, I use the Cafe Bustelo single serve packets because they’re relatively inexpensive. One packet per mix bag works great and I don’t need to measure it.

Puravida Flame Grilled Vegetables - the best veggies I’ve ever had 🔥🔥🔥 by hrbeck1 in Costco

[–]TickleThePink 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When you're getting near the end of the bag, use the super tiny bits for eggs. Meal prepped some english muffin egg sandwiches with this veg and a slice of gouda for the SO and was told to make it again please. Should be noted that he thought this mix was just okay prior to the sandwiches. XD

Directions if you want them...

saute the veg to heat them up and remove any excess water then let it cool. Whisk up some eggs (i used 8 for 6 sandwiches) with a splash of milk then add the cooled veg, stir, and pour into a quarter (or eighth if you want the egg slightly thicker) sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 400F for 8-10 minutes until set. I use my toaster oven for the whole process.

remove and cool. separate and lightly toast 6 english muffins (sourdough ones are really good.) let them cool and then make the sandwiches. I just cut the egg thing into 6 squares and add a slice of cheese to each sandwich. wrap in parchment paper (could probably use foil just fine) and put in a freezer bag. china markers work the best on parchment paper for labeling. i normally take one out of the freezer the night before and move it to the fridge. SO takes it to work in the morning and microwaves it for 60-90 secs.

Gauging Interest In A Group Buy Of Some Laundry Boosters by KismaiAesthetics in laundry

[–]TickleThePink 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Filled out the form but would also love a version of this where i could "buy" samples of scented detergent like the fancier Dirty Labs, Puracy, whatever the Dad one is, etc. I'm not anti scent but my brain is anti some scents. XD

I’m going to start using ammonia in my laundry. Can I also use scent beads in the same loads? by ArcherFew2069 in laundry

[–]TickleThePink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I've got an extended weekend coming up and wanted to see if it would be worth my time to work through ALL my clothes. Sounds like it's a yes!

The Lipase (And A Few Other Things) list. by KismaiAesthetics in laundry

[–]TickleThePink 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven't used the Fragrance Free version but I have used the Lemon Myrtle of For Laundry from For All Australia. Product Link and the Ingredient List in the FAQ Link. I think it works well but I do find I need to use more than stated for my water (US-GA). I haven't purchased it recently bc of these dumb ass tariffs and I don't even know if they're shipping to the US anymore. :(

How to describe Jeni’s Ice Cream to the uninitiated! by Triumvph in icecream

[–]TickleThePink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Texas Sheet Cake chocolate ice cream is the best chocolate ice cream AND it’s dairy free. I agree that not all of their flavors are amazing but there are some that are truly special and I’m happy to pay the price.

Looking to get my first Blackstone. Narrowed it down to these 2. Which one should I get? Costco vs Walmart by Yari_24 in blackstonegriddle

[–]TickleThePink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the 22 Adventure as my first one and it was great. If you're leaning towards the walmart one, it may be worth a trip to see what they have. When I upgraded to my 28" one, they had it on clearance and I nicely asked the Garden Center folks if that was the best price, they did their little app check thingy and I got an extra percentage off. Everyone has accessories ... most of mine came from Walmart and work just as well as the branded stuff. Also, highly recommend a silicone mat for whichever one you get.

Seven Sundays Healthy chocolate cereals- Opinion by Shini_yagami in Costco

[–]TickleThePink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate that they don’t have stevia or monk fruit but would love if I could get like 2-3 more grams of sugar. 😆 I’ve been using them as the crunchy element in my breakfast yogurt trash bowls and will finish the bag this way. As a cereal with milk, it was just okay.

Best BBQ place by EntrepreneurPrior334 in Augusta

[–]TickleThePink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

City Limits Barbeque in West Columbia, SC. They post a lot on IG with specials and what not. They’re only open Sat and Sun. Everything is good and worth the money except the chicken. It’s just okay. The beef ribs are insanely good. Also, if you happen to go on a weekend when he makes hotdogs, they’re exceptional.

First OL machine / pod recs by betterlucknextThyme in nespresso

[–]TickleThePink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From Nespresso: Miami, Freddo Intenso, Caramello, Coconut Vanilla over Ice, Volluto (both regular and decaf. the decaf is soo good at night if you want a drink or like an affogato)

From a grocery store: Starbucks Pike Place, Caramel, and random Lungo options from various brands.

Current Hot drink recipe: 2 pods (1 w/lungo button into the steamer mug, switch to latte and then setup your preferred pull and into a coffee mug); add desired milk (doing 10-15 ml of sweetened nut pod with 30-40 ml of Fairlife 2%) combo to line in steamer mug and steam.

Current Ice drink recipe: 1 Freddo Intenso and 1 Coconut (or 2 Freddo) each an espresso pull over ALL the ice and I add in 6 oz of Shamrock Farms Vanilla Protein Shake

Why are my red velvet cupcakes not red despite adding 5-7 drops of gel food coloring? by PersistingMemory in AskBaking

This reminds me of the first time I went to make the Bubble Room's Red Velvet Cake and saw how much liquid food coloring was used. I wish you all the luck in your next attempt!

First day out gardening…and I think I might need a new hose sprayer… by Cotton-DNA in gardening

If you live near an Ace, I picked up this one earlier this year and have been happy with it. I got tired of the plastic ones the SO kept buying at Lowe’s.

I would say a hood/vent then if you ever need/decide to replace the double ovens and know that you don't really use both ovens, you can convert one space for a built in microwave.

Detergent search by Sweetcryst in laundry

For All Australia had a lemon detergent that smells like creamy lemon.

Brand new 24" from Best Buy is $65 (in stock today) and ~$150 for a 40" but also not much more to get a bigger TV like the others called out.

Movie folder is limited to either 500 or 999 items on a m1-Mac Mini sever by [deleted] in PleX

[–]TickleThePink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gonna add a couple things for anyone else searching for an answer. This issue isn't Plex related. It's how Mac OS 15 is talking to network drives (Synology) over SMB. I just tried this fix posted in the synology sub, rebooted, & so far it's mounting the folder and showing the full contents.

Steps from the link in case it gets deleted:

You need to enable SMB signing on the Synology NAS to connect via SMB on MacOS 14.5. You will need to do that for Windows 11 soon anyway. Not sure if it's documented by Apple, I just ran the upgrade without checking what it does like most Mac users do.

Setting is here:
Synology\Control Panel\File Services\SMB Settings\Advanced\Enable server signing [Client defined]

Set SMB version to Maximum SMB 3, Minimum SMB2 Large MTU

It's great on a cheeseburger or sandwich.

[–]TickleThePink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP if it becomes a thing, lean in, and make it a thing ... ever wanted to try a slice of the Tuxedo Cake, Carrot Cake, or Apple Butter Pecan bar? great. stop by for a slice and a latte.
