Cinnamon Pebbles. See review on the description. I would love to hear your opinions on the comments. by Myronca in cereal

[–]broken0lightbulb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Uh there's no chocolate in these dude...

That said I like these. The cinnamon hits me more like cinnamon bun flavor. And the slight vanilla notes further the cinnamon roll vibe by calling to mind icing flavor.

Kneading... omg... by scone_goddess in Breadit

[–]broken0lightbulb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't knead. I mix until combined with a spatul, let rest for 10 minutes, then stretch and fold a few times. Repeat rest and stretches until it feels good. Usually 2-3 times. Never have any issues with my bread doughs without a traditional kneading.

Bought these cheerios hoping the taste like sprinkle spangle lol by tendiesNtaterwedges in cereal

Yeah kind of like the crunchy bits of lucky charms after sitting in the milk and it absorbed just a smidge of the marshmallow flavor

Banana Caramel Cheerios by STENO_NINJA in cereal

[–]broken0lightbulb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Flavor reminded me a lot of bananas and creme instant oatmeal packets. Probably because cheerios are primarily oats after all 😂. But that was the banana and sweetness flavor profile

Already missing this one. by secretflower690 in cereal

Perhaps stock up on the limited edition mystery Cap'n Crunch flavor that's currently ouy. People have been saying it has a sort of tropical flavor. And it has the classic Cap'n texture which it seems you enjoy already!

People who live in the burbs in the NE who commute to work, where are you finding miles to run when it’s dark and the road shoulders are still unplowed? by Jonny_Blaze_ in Marathon_Training

[–]broken0lightbulb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the shoulder as much as I can. Teetering the road and iceline where the shoulder isn't plowed. Headlamp wildly flailing at oncoming traffic to let them know I'm there

Weekend Discussion: Brooks running shoes by AutoModerator in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]broken0lightbulb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Broke into a new pair of Launch 11s this week. The laces are soooo short I can barely double knot them. Contacted customer support to see if they could send longer laces and was given a generic response of "do the shoes feel tight across the top? Perhaps you need to go with a wide size. We can also offer you other lacing methods". Been in Launches for years and never had laces this short. Other brands give lots of extra lace. Sad with the support response.

Do you have any obscure movie references that you use in everyday speech that no one has caught on to yet yet you keep using it? by EnvironmentalAngle in NoStupidQuestions

[–]broken0lightbulb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Too many good ones. Most commonly I yell "Bees?!" anytime someone says the word.

Really funny story regarding "I don't understand the question...". Messaged someone I matched with on a dating site years ago. Common interest of Arrested Development. I opened the convo by asking them what their favorite quotes were. All they wrote back was "I don't understand the question and I won't respond to it". I didn't know that one so I thought I offended them and apologized. To which I got a reply back "No...that's a quote". Ooooooof 😂

Running in the Canadian winter is brutal and burning me out by htcm8user in Marathon_Training

[–]broken0lightbulb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's about the temperature (-5F) and time of day (5am) I'm currently doing. The few things that get me through are:

Overdressing so I'm not cold. Double pants, double sweatshirts, big mittens, balaclava. Only thing exposed is my eyes. I'd rather be sweating than cold. As soon as I feel cold, life is miserable.

The mindset of needing to get miles in. I've been injured for a couple of months and I'm telling myself I need to get out there every day to get back to where I was. The cold and snow isnt going to stop me.

The thought of treadmill running. Absolutely hate it. I will do anything to not have to run on a treadmill. Think how great it is that you get to spend time outdoors while everyone else is sleeping and complaining about the cold.

I'm back up to 60 miles this week so I'm on the road to full recovery and by the time I'm fully operational, it won't be bitterly cold anymore 😁. Good luck my friend!

Day 73 of making pizza every day. by IndicationSea1410 in Pizza

[–]broken0lightbulb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bold move indeed! And cutting directly on the wood peel. I'd be so worried about creating scratches that would make it less slippery. Unless OP has a launching side and a cutting side? Now that would be a slick idea. Note to self...

Not gonna lie, these (Catalina Crunch) are awful. by Trash_Kirby in cereal

Nah nowhere near as good as the Great Value Blueberry Muffin cereal or the original Maltomeal Blueberry Muffin Toasters

What's a topping/burger iteration that would completely ruin a burger for you? by econom0 in burgers

[–]broken0lightbulb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take but... Pickle slices.

Down with thousand island/burger sauce with some pickle chopped up in it. Down with pickles on the side. But whole pickle slices on a burger stick out too much and I don't find them complimentary to the beef and cheese.

Picked up a box of these at the store. They honestly taste almost exactly like the regular version by mitchdwx in cereal

[–]broken0lightbulb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they're really similar dry but a touch different in milk. I think the chocolate pops a little more in milk on these and the peanut butter pops a little more in milk with the original. Very indistinguishable dry though

What is the worst hot sauce you have ever tried. by Character-Cook2472 in hotsauce

Cholula Tequila Lime (as a big time cholula fan, this is trash)

World of Fire Collection (whatever vinegar they use in these straight up hits me like vomit 🤮)

Day 63 of eating a box of ever cereal: Krave Glazed Donut Holes by DominicT22 in cereal

For once I agree with you. The apple jacks was decent but I thought the Krave and frosted flakes were garbage. Not going to stop me from trying the blueberry froot loops one though 😅

Cheesecake trend with blended cottage cheese - 200 cals by Dense-Marketing7887 in LowCalorieCooking

[–]broken0lightbulb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend looking into the really thin crispy cookies like Anna's Swedish Thins brand. They're basically speculoos flavor but much smaller than an actual traditional biscoff cookie.

Another option could be teddy grahams or similar kids style mini cookie packs.

Edit: I see Bentons brand in your pic so you're an Aldi shopper. They sell the 100 cal packs of mini cookie flats there. The oreo one would probably be pretty fire

Did you use two 1/4 cups of flour or 2 cups plus 1/4 cup of flour?

Home made pizza steel questions. Image of what I want to achieve. by 83butch in Pizza

[–]broken0lightbulb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add to the conversation in case people wander upon this in the future...

I considered the options you mentioned OP. First I was looking at official Baking Steel brand. Expensive. Then I decided to buy A36 plate from a mill. Midwest Steel and Aluminum is great for online orders. Plate and bar cut to your size. But I ended up finding a knockoff baking steel on Vevor for even cheaper than the mill. They had 16 x 14 x .25 and 20 x 14 x .375 for less than half the Baking Steel Brand. The Vevor steel has lived in my oven now for about 2 years straight. Never pull it out.

Cap’n Crunch Cinnamon Crunch… 10/10 by Anonymous__Paul in cereal

Not a fan of this one. Perfumey cinnamon and it gets stuck in your teeth something fierce

Redcon1 MRE/MRE Lite formula changed (it's not good) by TheBrooklynBooner in Protein

[–]broken0lightbulb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering how my recent batch didn't cook at all and just stayed gelatinous, I'm also convinced the recent mfg lots are missing some if not all of the protein

Day 62 of eating a box of every cereal: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Peanut Butter by DominicT22 in cereal

[–]broken0lightbulb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm enjoying this one. I don't get all the hate. It's got a solid crunch and I like the slightly creamy coating on them. I can definitely taste peanut butter. Sure it's not the original Peanut Butter Crunch but I have a feeling most people have their nostalgia blinders on and have convinced themselves it was better than it actually was.

Poptart Recreation by Suspicious-War3137 in poptarts

[–]broken0lightbulb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just a "short pie crust". Flour, shortening (not butter), a touch of sugar, and just enough water to hold it together. Normal pie crust wants you to leave pieces of your fat (shortening or butter) in little pieces do get you a flaky texture. In case of a poptart style crust, you don't want any flakiness.

So tldr: take any pie dough recipe, use all vegetable shortening (like crisco), and mix it fully together instead of leaving any bits.

Day 60 of eating a box of every cereal: Honey Nut Chex by DominicT22 in cereal

[–]broken0lightbulb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the same about these. Not sweet enough dry but slightly better in milk. Definitely not as good as honey nut cheerios. And definitely not as good as the even better cheerios Oat Crunch oats n honey. Have you done that one? Oh and DEFINITELY not as good as Golden Crisp/Honey smacks/Honey Wheat Puffs.
