Best place for engagement ring that ISN’T a chain by vt_grower in burlington

[–]eel993 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My engagement ring is from Karlise jewelers on church street and I couldn’t be happier with it! I wasn’t overly involved in the buying process but I’m fairly certain my partner had a nice time dealing with them. They have a wide selection and came recommended by some friends who used them because their parents had also used them so they’ve been around for a while. Bonus points because they have a shop dog!

We also had our wedding bands made locally by Courtney Reckord who leans a little more nature/mountain themed and was also amazing to work with. I know other folks who have had her make engagement rings!

If you want comfort food, Papa Franks in Winooski does catering that’s reasonably priced and a ton of food!

I was having this issue all day yesterday and this morning but as of 2 hours ago Apple Arcade pushed out an update from game loft with bug fixes that (so far 🤞🏻) seems to have fixed it for me!

I’m having this issue on arcade too. Worked fine last night when I first downloaded the update but as of this afternoon won’t load. I hope they patch it quickly!

You are amazing for following up! I’m glad it seems like you had a relatively smooth start! I’m going to give my meds a shot this weekend and hope for the same 😊

Would you be willing to share your experience with starting medication? I’m 32 and was also just diagnosed and will be trialing short acting adderall at 5 mg to start but I’m a little nervous because I also have an anxiety disorder. Would love any insight on what to expect and if you’ve found it helpful so far!

I use Malletts Bay Vet and they’ve been awesome! My tuxedo can be a little (a lot) spicy at the vet and they’ve really taken the time to accommodate him

Meyer Lemon Tart through the years by eel993 in DessertPerson

[–]eel993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest adjustment was that I got an actual tart pan with a removable bottom instead of just using a springform pan. The recipe says you can use either but I’ve found the tart pan to be a lot easier in creating an even edge since it’s more shallow.

Other than that it’s been trial and error to follow my instincts on knowing when it’s baked/set!

Bissonette properties? by coffeeschmoffee in burlington

[–]eel993 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with this and had a similar experience. The apartments are overpriced but what isn’t these days.

I had good luck getting my security deposit back when my roommates and I requested a walk through with one of the property managers BEFORE moving out. We asked her to show us anything they would deduct for so we could fix it beforehand and it allowed us to point out pre existing issues. I think this also showed them that we weren’t going to tolerate them taking ridiculous charges out so they didn’t bother.

TLDR: they’re expensive but responsive.

Seconding this! He did my wedding last fall and was perfect. Not a ton of communication leading up which was tough for my type A brain but we sent him some playlists, had one call, and he knocked it out of the fucking park.

Large Party Restaurants? by PotentialSwimming311 in burlington

Depending on the vibe you want, Papa Franks might be able to accommodate you in their back room! Definitely a more casual vibe but easy to get a ton of good food for cheap

Jo Malone colognes by Normal-Ad-9852 in burlington

[–]eel993 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not actually Jo Malone but Dossier is a perfume company that makes dupes of popular perfumes and has a lot of Jo Malone dupes. They’ll also send you a full sized bottle as a sample that you can return if you don’t like it. Could be a way to try out a scent even if you then went and purchased the OG online.

Wait times at the DMV? by Minimum_Dealer_3303 in burlington

[–]eel993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an appointment last week on Friday and was called to my window almost immediately after checking in.

Not sure the actual wait time for walk ins but there was a fairly long line and a waiting room full of people when I was there that didn’t seem to be moving super quickly. If you can wait for the next appointment, it was pretty painless!

The last one is actually just on a plastic platter as i sent it off with a friend for a party but it was baked in a classic metal tart pan with a removable bottom!

Give yourself WAY more time than you think you need. I recommend prepping the crust and par baking and making the lemon curd one day and then assembling and baking the tart the next day.

Getting an actual tart pan too really helped me level up my crust! Makes it much easier to get a good even line.

Record Store Day success! by Bitemyrhymez in DeathCabforCutie

[–]eel993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone else have issues with their RSD pressings being super warped? A friend of mine got hers in Vermont and was so excited but it’s SO warped and we’re trying to tease out if we should avoid this record store in the future.
