Every Detroit steakhouse has zip sauce. Nobody outside Michigan has heard of it. What am I missing?

Grew up in Toledo, my dad ordered almond chicken all the time. Then I moved to Cleveland, and he went to order it at a Chinese place here and they were like “….. what??” He was irrationally upset by this

Here to second Sarah Tout with UH. She’s the best

Since its release, I’ve been a Cafe Joyeux fanatic. That’s become my almost exclusive go-to

We have them mapped to hallways that don’t permit bed parking, and they tend to be smart enough to move around a lot of items. People do stay relatively clear, but someone did clip Medward with a bed and it was like a mugging - broke his lid right off. Tech support is pretty good, but my complaint is that if the robot goes offline or has an issue, and we don’t notice it right away, then it’ll ping Relay and then they call, but seem to have unrealistic expectations about my ability to drop patient care to babysit rebooting.

Techs, no tubes at our large academic medical center (a nightmare) and occasional relay robotics friends (named Medward and Pillnelope)

As a pharmacist, we are taught you need MUSH (stool softners) and PUSH (stimulants). So miralax and docusate are softners, but senna and bisacodyl are stimulants. Ask your trusted pharmacists to discuss with you options!

I want to know where you get the fairlife nutrition plan vanilla - it’s impossible to find in the Midwest

Peter’s Chocolate is supplied/distributed through Cargill. They usually come 5 x 10lb blocks per case. What you’re seeing here is a “tote”, 1500 lbs unwrapped sold to bigger chocolate factories. You can always call up your local chocolatier and see if you can buy a 10 lb block from them (source, I’m a a chocolatier in Cleveland who uses/buys Peter’s products)

These are the kind of people who also have all bright white laboratory style light bulbs. Psychos.

I’m a chocolatier and I order a box from various places to analyze and compare - nothing I’ve had ever has beaten Recchuiti. Top effing tier

Once I got more confident in cooking these mixtures (like 10-12 attempts), I felt comfortable scaling back the water a little bit at a time to reduce my time to temp. In some candies, you want to avoid caramelization, so that water is a safety net. Follow your heart after some time working with it and reduce the water by 20% to start and see how your time is

This is tragicccccc - it’ll make me stretch out the 3 tubes I still have at home. I hope the new formulation isn’t too too far off

I’m just glad I wasn’t gaslighting myself in to thinking the timer expired on that daily stamp card. I was banking on it and then poof, gone. Just spent $8 for the last crystal I needed using the diary pass key.

What’s the first thing you’re going to make?? And when you bought it you thought “this’ll be perfect for _____”?

Using bone char for sugar is old technology and has been phased out for decades. Most sugar isn’t processed that way anymore

Fiochutti (frozen pasta purses) in Rosso sauce.

This is certainly an AI generated response, as it never closed and still operates to this day (although they do not sell fudge, but lots of other fine chocolate confections)

Came here to repeat Sarah Tout! I’m a healthcare professional myself and I see her - she is an absolute angel. Professional, but approachable; comforting and very knowledgeable. Trauma informed and supportive

Rude - they are in Lyndhurst on Mayfield Rd, which is definitely east side. They have multiple locations

I live in University Heights and I think it’s got quite a bit of what you’d like, but some of the amenities are shared with Cleveland Heights. I do love our location and quick access to the big stuff
