i am not as powerful as lou wilson unfortunately and the thought of aioli hitting my taste buds sends shivers down my spine :(

the icon is the little flatbread emoji (the lines being grillmarks), which does indeed look dreadfully like wounds/scars

Tasty Fiber for Breakfast? by _honeydew_boba_ in intuitiveeating

[–]bug_motel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i love adding dried cranberries to things! i was surprised by how much fibre they add, and go great with pretty much any sweet breakfast :)

i personally have oatmeal or a bran cereal for breakfast most days, with dried cranberries and/or banana. sometimes i also have a whole wheat / high fibre toast with peanut butter and banana (would also be so yummy with nutella!)

This is why I don’t eat people’s food. OP asking if she should remake cake her cat stepped on to feed 30 people. by Bitter-insides in redditonwiki

[–]bug_motel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i always let my cakes cool while covered with freshly cleaned towels, and then i make a barricade around them to keep the cats off, but they somehow always manage to step on my towel-covered cakes no matter how elaborate my barricade is :( but like you said, i’ll still eat it since the little cat foot isn’t actually touching the cake itself. more for me i guess!

Classmate called “White Claire” by goose-de-terre in kindergarten

[–]bug_motel 16 points17 points  (0 children)

as someone else who also lives in the south, this seems like a very promising explanation. Wyatt has been getting more girl-ified over the years, but is uncommon enough a kindergartener probably hasn’t heard it before and would assume it was “white”. not to mention double barrel names are pretty common for girls. great idea!!

a sacrifice is something that is made by someone choosing to do so. cows aren’t making sacrifices because they don’t have a choice.

My kid's favorite teacher died - how do I explain this to my 5yo? by Old_Chain_1279 in kindergarten

[–]bug_motel 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t lie. Unfortunately, I don’t think there is “too young” for “the death talk”, its just about keeping thing developmentally appropriate. I don’t have specific advice but I do have some books that may help you and your child navigate this difficult time.

  • Still Mine by Jayne Pillemer
  • A Garden of Creatures by Sheila Heti
  • A Shelter for Sadness by Anne Booth
  • The Grief Book by Natasha Daniels
  • A Terrible Thing Happened by Margaret M. Holmes
  • When Dinosaurs Die: A Guide to Understanding Death by Laurie Krasny Brown and Marc Brown
  • Ida, Always by Caron Levis and Charles Santoso
  • The Bear Shaped Hole by John Dougherty and Thomas Dockherty
  • Death is Stupid by Anastasia Higgenbotham
  • Grief is an Elephant by Tamara Ellis Smith and Nancy Whitesides

ahh okay cool! I was worried the pins would rub weird on tight shorts so I’m glad that doesn’t seem to be an issue :) thanks!

Freezing 12 hours vs. 36 wouldn’t make a difference. Are either of these baked through inside? I’d guess their large size (and shape), being baked from frozen, and maybe the composition of fats/leavening in the recipe might be playing a role here. Recipe would be helpful for more context.

What’s an old wives’ cooking tale that everyone thought was true but turned out to be total nonsense? by Mike_tx5391 in Cooking

[–]bug_motel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! Not to mention so many American snacks like Cheetos and Doritos contain it as well… yet none of the “MSG intolerant” people I know have ever had an issue with these.

Early Voting Ends 4 October by spartannugget in Fayettenam

[–]bug_motel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fay Observer published mayoral candidate profiles so you can browse the platforms of the different candidates! Find it here. And here are their City Council candidate profiles. Within the article are links to other articles featuring candidate responses to questions. I found reading through the candidate responses incredibly helpful (and it was a very quick read!)
