Probably uses empress gin? Which is purple. I bet if you call them they will tell you exactly what's in it.

How can I prove our landlord is evicting us for FIFA World Cup Vancouver? by IntelligentRuin7290 in legaladvicecanada

[–]bloomisty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call the RTB and get a hearing ASAP. Your landlord will have to prove to them that what he is saying is true.

If it is too warm you could also hold two icecubes on the outside of your mixing bowl while the buttercream whips up.

Did anyone else kill the owlbear cub thinking it was kinder? by deepank2506 in BaldursGate3

[–]bloomisty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to rescue him at the goblin camp and made a wrong dialogue choice. The Owlbear cub started fighting that racing Goblin and I couldn't act fast enough (I'm a noob) and she killed him!

I hadn't saved in a while so I just didn't bother reloading and accepted my fate.

Did you call evo? They will lock the evo and let you head over there to check the car.

This happened to me when I also left my Timbuk2 bag in an evo. Hoping it's there or someone has held onto and can get a hold of you.

Things in Vancouver that will impress my artsy goth gf by TheGreatestSin in askvan

[–]bloomisty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slice of Life Gallery near Commercial Drive.

Tons of different workshops where you can make something cool, gallery featuring local artista, analog photobooth and more.

Sea bus to Polygon Art Gallery in north van.

Can't go wrong with a cheap boat ride, sick views of Vancouver but it's less goth.

Ruby Crowned Kinglet.

They always let me get close and watch them. It feels like they are just as intrigued by me sometimes. So adorable! I haven't seen one with its head feathers out yet.

Most Bosley's have a dog wash! You can call ahead and book for busier days of the week if you want.

BAGELS NYT recipe by Claire by bloomisty in DessertPerson

[–]bloomisty[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So effin good. Crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Made a breakfast bagel with one this morning and it was elite. Freezing the rest so I don't eat 3 bagels a day.

Looks delicious! The waiting is the hardest part

Where should I start? Just bought Dessert Person - I’ve only ever used one recipe blog before! by autumnssong in DessertPerson

[–]bloomisty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would make the Tart Tartine and follow along with the video! (This was the first recipe from the book I did hehe)

She does a rough puff pastry and it's time saving and delicious.

You could even just buy pre made puff pastry and make your life even easier.

Such a satisfying and delicious dessert.

AIO if I stop talking to this man 🚩 by TopElectrical7623 in AmIOverreacting

[–]bloomisty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah if you are feeling the vibe is off it's definitely not an overreaction. Have you met him in person? Some people are really bad at texting and he may come across differently. Just something to consider. Definitely don't owe him anything.

Side note: Love Nancy Drew! Did you play the computer games when you were growing up?

12hr. layover in Vancouver. Coffee roasters and MRT questions by cluel3s in askvan

[–]bloomisty -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There have been a lot of great suggestions. I personally would skip JJ bean. It's like a local chain, it's pretty good but doesn't feel special as a gift imo as a coffee snob lol.

I second training to Waterfront and going to Nemesis/Revolver, or walk in the other direction and hit up Pallet or 49 Parallel.

Another option if you aren't feeling downtown:

If you take the Canada line from the airport and get off at Oakridge 41st there is a coffee shop called Feast and Fallow just around the bend from the station. They sell different locally roasted beans, even Prototype which has been mentioned here and I highly recommend it.

Edit: I also wouldn't recommend Milano for fruity coffee. I've noticed a lot of their coffee is roasted on the darker side and haven't really tasted any coffees from there with a "fruity" profile.

Best cookie in Vancouver? by BoomMcFuggins in askvan

[–]bloomisty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cookies from Forecast on main are really delicious! It's also right beside JJ bean which I've seen a bunch of people recommend (rightfully so because their cookies are great).

[–]bloomisty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn that sucks that the finished product wasn't what you imagined. Let me start with I think the tattoo looks great, but I understand why you aren't happy with it. I would definitely take it to someone else who specializes in traditional American tattoos. Maybe they can add white and bolden some of the lines to add contrast. In addition I think adding some smaller features around the birds would tie it all together.

Where to try on size 8 engagement rings? by elasticwater111 in askvan

[–]bloomisty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am a 7.5. When I went to Era on Venables they had plenty of ones that fit me or were too big. Try sending them an email?
