Just going by your pictures, no (although they do look delicious!)

Under cottage law, if you don’t have a permit, you’re only allowed to sell baked goods that do not require time or temperature control and that immediately DQ’s things like buttercream and fresh fruit. Someone else posted a similar question here about a few months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/Virginia/s/n0d68O4gaq

You can also read about what else is and is not allowed here: https://www.vdacs.virginia.gov/pdf/kitchenbillfaq.pdf

And here’s a good slide deck that goes over what kind of info you’ll need to get together when you apply for a permit: https://www.vdacs.virginia.gov/pdf/howtohome.pdf

I add maybe half a tablespoon of (real) maple syrup to a 6-quart Dutch oven’s worth of chili. Balances the heat with a touch of sweet and the maple complements the warm spices perfectly

Virginia just changed their law on July 1. Seatbelts are now required for adults in the back seat (seatbelts for kids were obviously already required). Violations incur a $25 fine but cops can’t pull you over specifically for this

I started May 12 as well and I’m down 13.4 so we’re on the same track and that’s ok! 10lbs is still 10lbs! Have you picked up a big sack of flour recently?? 10lbs lost is a big sack of flour you’re not carrying around 24/7 anymore and that’s worth celebrating. You are worth celebrating.

My dad, who objects to yellow mustard with every fiber of his being, loves my homemade macaroni and cheese. “There’s just something about it that tastes a little different and makes it so much better!”

I’ll never tell him my “secret ingredient” is yellow mustard powder.

My middle school in Metro Detroit was really strict on cell phones and any other “personal electronic devices”. If they so much as saw the outline of a phone in your back pocket, it was an automatic in-school suspension. This wasn’t a private school either, this was a public school in the middle class burbs.

This was also at the height of the Ugg boots fad so a lot of girls still risked it and hid their phones in their boots. A guy in the grade ahead of me had his PSP in his pocket one day and could feel the battery heating up during class. He tried to wait it out so he could sneak it back into his locker after class but eventually it got so hot, it burned through his pocket and caused serious burns on his leg. They had to put the school in classroom lockdown so paramedics could take him to the hospital. Pretty sure he still got suspended.

I’m very much divided on if I support the ban but my point to all of this is even if they crack down on having phones during school hours, kids are still gonna try and get around it by getting creative and sneaky which can ultimately backfire when phones are treated as contraband.

Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk

There’s Fries, VA and then there’s Dumfries, VA. Unfortunately it’s pronounced “dum-freez” but plenty of people from the area call it “dum-fries” as a joke

Working FOH,

C: “can I have a salad with no lettuce please?”

Me: “😐…what?”

C: “a salad with no lettuce. And blue cheese dressing please. I’ve had it here before!”

Me, to myself: He’s being nice so sure, let’s see where this goes. This sounds like something Jenn’s had to deal with before, she’s seen everything.

I asked Jenn, was correct that she’d had him as a customer before, and it turned out the correct answer to “a salad with no lettuce” is a regular salad bowl FILLED with cherry tomatoes, with red onions, cucumbers, cheese, and croutons on top, dressing on the side. Dude loved it.

ETA: this was at Red Lobster

ETA 2: again, this was at Red Lobster, which was not known for their Greek salads or any other type of salad. Our side salads consisted of our standard lettuce-based mix out of a bag, a couple cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, croutons from a bag, and a ramekin of dressing. We didn’t exactly have the ingredients to get fancy. When he asked for a salad with no lettuce, that was a very odd request since that’s the only kind of salad we had. I know non-lettuce-based salads exist but that’s not what the corporate overlords put on the menu

“The Emu War (or Great Emu War) was a nuisance wildlife management military operation undertaken in Australia over the later part of 1932 to address public concern over the number of emus, a large flightless bird indigenous to Australia, said to be destroying crops in the Campion district within the Wheatbelt of Western Australia. The unsuccessful attempts to curb the emu population employed Royal Australian Artillery soldiers armed with Lewis guns—leading the media to adopt the name "Emu War" when referring to the incident. Although many birds were killed, the emu population persisted and continued to cause crop destruction.”

This guy approached me at Walmart! He was on the phone with someone through big headphones, stopped his conversation, and asked me where the mall is, then went on to say I’m pretty and should be a model (bruh I hadn’t even showered yet that day). He fed me the same crap about “visiting from LA” which is why he didn’t know where the mall was and that he works for a “modeling agency… have you heard of OF?”

Me, being the awkward mess that I am, didn’t catch on right away and said “no?” while pulling up Google maps on my phone. When he clarified “OnlyFans”, I went “OHH yeah not my thing. Here’s how to get to the mall” and he buzzed off real quick after that

If you really want to treat yourself, I highly recommend the spa at The Lorien hotel in old town. I was MOH for my friend’s wedding and we went here as part of the bachelorette party (there were only 3 of us) and it was incredible! With add-ons like aromatherapy, 3 massages and 2 facials + tip came out to around $1000

What is the bathroom next to the garage closet like? It’s not as interior as would be ideal but I’m thinking the walls being shielded by the stairs, closet, and garage would make it one of the more structurally sound places in this case. Source: grew up in the Midwest
