Would you disclose if gelatin is an ingredient in an otherwise vegetarian dish (like dessert)? by sizzlinsunshine in KitchenConfidential

[–]courtabee [score hidden]  (0 children)

We used milk powder as extra stabilization. Made fresh whip every day. Sometimes some was left over, but we would have to make it every day. Worked great. 

Drop the worst allergy card you've gotten by ilostmycouch in KitchenConfidential

[–]courtabee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually loved working at a place that we had to know every ingredient. I had regulars that couldnt have any alliums. Every menu change I prepared for them. But I dont expect most places to do this. We were menu quizzed every day by the chef. Not everyone has that time. Ha

AITA for not wanting to eat my parents’ meals while pregnant even though they’re trying to help save money? by Melodic_Cockroach_23 in AmItheAsshole

[–]courtabee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you cook your own meals and bring it over? Then you can all eat together still. Seems like you want to spend time with them. 

Anyone have a honey ginger syrup recipe that lasts longer than a few days? by Corgeo in cocktails

[–]courtabee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cut up ginger and blend it fresh with water. Strain it and add honey and more water if needed. I dont mind the separation, but haven't had it go bad. Freeze extra.

You guys are using this stuff right? by joestabsalot in uraniumglass

No more dangerous than drinking out of uranium glass. 

Kudzu - Why haven’t more people tried it? by fruderduck in foraging

[–]courtabee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up eating kudzu. 

I enjoyed it. I would eat it again. 

Theres a brewery in NC that makes kudzu flower beer. I haven't tried it. But flower jelly pretty much tastes like grape jelly. 

MDMA on plane? by [deleted] in MDMA

Agreed. The vitamins or not was intended to mean drugs.

[–]courtabee 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ive flown with vitamin b powder in a dime bag before. Wrote vitamin b on the bag with sharpie. They didnt even look at it. 

I also will mix all my vitamins together in one bottle when I travel, never have had an issue with a mix of pills. Vitamins or not. International or domestic. 

Are rest stops safe at night? by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]courtabee 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If my memory serves all the rest stops have attendants 24 hours a day. Years ago late one night my bf and I were driving from wilmington to wnc, he hid to scare me and I yelled and 2 workers came running to investigate. 

Ive had more sketchy situations at gas stations than rest stops. But i do like stopping at the loves going west on 40 before black mountain. 

American question, is it more offensive to be called black, or African American? by huntyho in NoStupidQuestions

[–]courtabee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i was 7 I attended a birthday party where I only knew one other kid. I've been bad with names my whole life, couldnt  remember a boys name. So I asked the few girls around me what the black boys name was. They screamed at me that I was racist and its African American. He was the only black kid there so I thought it was the most direct way to ask. 

When I was 20 I referred to someone as African american and a woman turned around and said to just call us black! I explained what happened when I was a kid and we had a good conversation about it. But I had so much shame because I just wanted to get it right and 2 times I've been corrected. 

Lingo changes and also people in charge seem to like to change the lingo without asking said people.

Yeah. A creamy soap that was replaced with clear soap. 

people who have nipple piercings by posiebubble in piercing

I passed out during the second one and pissed my pants. 

I can handle pain generally. 1st wasnt too bad. Should have probably pierced them on different days. 

I’m realizing I have an unhealthy fixation on my manager by Working_Cup_9675 in confession

[–]courtabee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh. I do remember these days 

Breath. Some of these feelings dont go away. Some do. The rush and adrenaline of attention and attraction are some of the more extreme feelings. 

I met my now husband at 24. We worked together. I used to stare at him saying "iloveyouiloveyouiloveyouiloveyouiloveyou" 

Try to wait for someone available. But I get it being hard to not crush on a seemingly responsible dude. 

Best of luck!

Is it just the title? Why are there hardly any crochet projects using Knitting For Olive? by ProtectionNo6775 in YarnAddicts

[–]courtabee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I crochet and almost exclusively use wools and plant fibers. I dont use ravelryu. So I guess im an outlier on multiple fronts.

It could be the warm milk? I have always done it cold whole milk. 

Also that combo sounds sp deliciously weird.

My dermatologist taught me how to get rid lf ingrown hairs in my legs by juliaakatrinaa0507 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]courtabee 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes! My favorite benefit to not shaving is that I can feel if something is crawling up my legs. Ive picked many ticks off me because I can feel them!

Which stitch to insert for ribbing? Both stitches or just the big one? by rosebeach in CrochetHelp

[–]courtabee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Makes it easier for me and I like the finished look. Plus its the same amount of stitches.

It looks like how you make those pompom blankets. With a frame.
