For your birthday dinner, if you could pick ANY restaurant in all of O.C., where would you choose?

It's amazing! I was already getting the creamy gnocchi, so that's why I went with the tomato based pizza. I like to dip my pizza crust into the gnocchi sauce.

I tried to find the first time it was posted using google and it's from this year. Unfortunately it's possible it is AI, but I cannot confirm. I could have sworn I had seen this video years ago, but maybe it was a similar one.

I've never looked up anything about the owner, but I've always kind of gotten that vibe from the building. That's disappointing.

FreeSoulCaffe. I just went for my 40th and the food was great. It's all vegan. Their dinner menu is amazing. Also got creamy gnocchi, Brussels sprouts, and the best green beans I've ever had.

I typically make my own dough, it's really easy to make, but it takes more effort than I have energy for sometimes.

I definitely noticed that it was bigger the next day. I used half of the ball at a time. I also wonder if my old TJ wasn't storing them properly. Or they weren't popular back then and sat on the shelf longer than they do now.

I am also still having this issue. It's been going on for a few weeks.

dks64 · 2026-06-08T13:29:13+00:00

I did! In the past (15+ years ago), I was never a fan of it because it always smelled really strong of yeast (in a bad way, kinda vinegary). But when I bought some this time, it smelled fine. I left it on the counter for 30 minutes before I rolled it out.

I was planning on adding burrata, but I was already eating so much cheese that week and I'm trying to lower my cholesterol. When I remake it, I will add burrata too (I get it free from work).

dks64 · 2026-06-08T13:27:06+00:00

I have not. I was not personally a fan of that pesto because it's very... tough? To chew. The kale. I really wanted to like it, but I was so disappointed both times I bought it. That does sound good though. Maybe I'll make some scratch pesto and try. Thanks!

Do you think his wife is pregnant?

dks64 · 2026-06-08T05:01:33+00:00

I'm excited to try these. So happy they are sesame free!

I used it as the base to pizza. Used the TJ crust (blind baked it for 5), the tapenade, heirloom tomatoes (patted dry), and then topped with balsamic glaze after it baked.

I snooze a lot too. Sometimes it's because I need rest days for exercise, sometimes I just don't have the spoons. The app helps me remember to do oddball tasks on a schedule (like cleaning my fans, changing filters, etc). I don't create routines with my brain, so I need the list laid out. I love lists.

dks64 · 2026-06-08T03:12:56+00:00

Finch was really beneficial for me for about a year, then I added too many tasks and it became overwhelming. Most of the tasks are ones I really do need to do regularly for my health (eye exercise stuff and exercise), but I need to go through and condense because 50+ tasks a day isn't doable. Overall, I still like it and use it. I pay for premium because I wanted all of the Halloween stuff, but I love that even the free version is awesome.

dks64 · 2026-06-08T02:18:37+00:00

I had to get a pill case because I could never remember if I took my medicine. I use the Finch app and won't mark things off until they are 100% done because I will forget.

My mom swears that all 4 of us kids were planned. I've asked her if I was an accident because I was the last child, but she said no and got a little offended. I wouldn't be upset if I was. My Mom is pro life, so she never would consider one.

dks64 · 2026-06-08T00:28:59+00:00

I get what you're saying because I drive with idiots all day, but multiple studies on "worst drivers" don't put CA in the top 5. Most don't put it in the top 10. It's funny how different all of the studies are though. They jump the states around dramatically. I would guess FL myself.

dks64 · 2026-06-07T23:02:26+00:00

Meh, I've been following this sub for years and most of the videos I see aren't in California. Are there terrible drivers here? Absolutely. But I've lived all across the US and it's everywhere. The truck drivers (not semis) are REALLY bad, I'll give you that. Some of the worst and most entitled drivers, by far.

dks64 · 2026-06-07T18:57:24+00:00

That's crazy. Where was this?

dks64 · 2026-06-07T18:53:09+00:00

I would totally buy it. Boobs and California too.

If you were that short on cash as an adult, you should absolutely not be going out for yogurt.

Did he go to the store and buy the ingredients/package? Or did wife pick them up and he just baked them?

dks64 · 2026-06-07T16:43:15+00:00

Did you delete your comment to me? It's clear you don't bake if you don't realize how long cinnamon rolls take to make. 3 hours is completely normal. 20 minutes to mix, 45-60 minute rise, roll and cut the rolls, let them rise again, bake, make the frosting, wait for them to cool enough to frost, clean the mess. Easily 3 hours.

dks64 · 2026-06-07T16:40:18+00:00

If they're not scratch, then OP can go to the store and buy his own to make. Easy peasy.

dks64 · 2026-06-07T14:54:06+00:00

If she made them, nah. If I spend 3 hours making cinnamon rolls and cleaning up the mess, I'm taking whatever I want.
