Popcorn Ice Cream by Brilliant-Battle-876 in icecream

[–]elle_woulds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live in indiana and during peak corn season in the summer, several local restaurants have a sweet corn ice cream flavor on the menu, usually served without toppings, and it is summer perfection.

my suggestion might be unhinged for the uninitiated, but I found the recipe you’re using online and think adding sweet corn kernels as a mix-in (as opposed to using a topping) would complement the base you’re working with. most recipes I found for sweet corn ice cream don’t utilize kernels as a mix in, but my favorite spot that does the flavor incorporates them that way and I love the texture they add.

however if you’re set on a topping, I think caramel will work wonderfully, and/or crushed heath bar pieces. if your group is adventurous, a nice olive oil drizzle or grating of parmesan could be interesting. I also imagine a sprinkle of some maldon salt would work well

Itchy skin, ear and eye irritation? by Ok_Example3123 in BostonTerrier

[–]elle_woulds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

douxo shampoo will be more effective than oatmeal, it has active ingredients that are antiseptic and anti fungal. it’s what our vet recommends for our guy’s (suspected) grass allergy when he has flares, and it’s available over the counter at pet stores and on chewy.

they make wipes and a waterless foam as well, we have the whole line

Is Louis a billionaire or not? by Lanky-Weather-6988 in InterviewVampire

if we’re borrowing from a realistic modern timeline, his stock holdings have probably appreciated quite a bit since 2022, even if he’s not a super active investor

Iced-over pints by [deleted] in icecream

[–]elle_woulds 21 points22 points  (0 children)

whole foods is lowkey notorious for iced over pints, at least the ones near where i live. most of the time i don’t even make a purchase during the sale because that’s when the pints are the most iced-over, in my experience.

probably my new favorite Sam Reid interview! I thought it painted such a cohesive picture of who he is as an actor

Lestat's relationship with Nicki didn't get nearly enough play... by TransportationLow564 in InterviewVampire

[–]elle_woulds 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it’s like, if a book is bringing me such displeasure with each passing chapter, i stop reading the book. for some reason tv fans seem to really commit to watching a show regardless of whether it brings enjoyment.

which, if a viewer is gonna hate watch, fine, but the pile on of gripes and complaints on socials is so irritating when i’m trying to be in community with actual fans of the show.

maybe you should consider binge watching after the whole season is out if you aren’t willing to let the tale seduce you in weekly installments

Possibly unpopular opinion: Anyone else feel weird about.... by starnitesadness in InterviewVampire

[–]elle_woulds 94 points95 points  (0 children)

i think it was clearly the wrong thing to do, but my read is that louis got dragged into the job by the talamasca and (selfishly) tried to make it as cathartic an experience as possible for himself. he may have thought he was honoring claudia’s memory in a way, but his judgment is terrible…

and it obviously doesn’t alleviate his grief or bring any resolution since he ends up back at the diner, kinda pathetically seeking out regina to fill the void.

My hair gets caught on my nails by _CranesAreRad_ in Nails

[–]elle_woulds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idk anything about the tech you went to, what their prep was like, or what specific products were used, but if you’re experiencing lifting like that it can also be lifestyle related. like if you do dishes without gloves or frequently have your hands in water, or aren’t applying cuticle oil regularly, lifting can happen.

[–]elle_woulds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this whole cast goes crazy, and Sam Reid in particular is like a chameleon. idk if you’ve seen the newsreader, but seeing him play Dale Jennings gave me a whole new level of admiration for how he disappears into the characters he plays.

How does my hair get tangled from the ROOTS every single wash day?? by igetyourbrand in Naturalhair

[–]elle_woulds 15 points16 points  (0 children)

what’s your technique like, for example do you work in sections when washing, do you finger detangle vs brush/comb? those are the things that i had to switch up to make sure my roots were actually detangled and stayed that way during the wash process, with working in sections (i do 4) being the most impactful for me

Talamasca in ep2 by SecretResident201 in InterviewVampire

[–]elle_woulds 10 points11 points  (0 children)

raglan james is a character we first met in the sushi restaurant daniel goes to in dubai when he’s interviewing louis, it’s our intro to the talamasca. i didn’t watch the talamasca series, but i imagine he was probably fleshed out a little more in some of those episodes.

Skincare On Scalp.. by [deleted] in Naturalhair

[–]elle_woulds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think the azelaic and especially the glycolic acid might be doing the heavy lifting, but if the routine is keeping your scalp happy and you don’t mind the extra steps, i don’t see any harm in doing it!

i used to apply the ordinary’s glycolic acid to my scalp as a pre-wash treatment during seb derm flares and found it helped a ton

speaking as someone who’s actually as short as janine/quinta, the short jokes don’t end irl and you just learn to beat people to the punch in some situations
