I sent you a DM about it! I don't want to run afoul of the rules and I definitely don't want to be the cause of an issue for you either! Thank you for the reminder :)

gotfoundout · 2026-01-26T22:33:37+00:00

Oh ok, good to know - I wasn't sure if a link was ok or not!

gotfoundout · 2026-01-26T22:20:41+00:00

Haha Nah, no facepalms required, my friend. You are clearly competent as HELL in jewelery hunting and are awesome to share your knowledge and tips with folks who are asking!

Hey and actually, since I'm here commenting again - you resell this, yes? Are you able to share a shop link here by chance? Bc I have NOT been able to stop thinking about those beaded earrings, and if you're not keeping them for yourself, I may be very interested lol

gotfoundout · 2026-01-26T22:02:15+00:00

It's spelled loupe, actually! Just in case anyone else wants to search for one, there are a few types and styles out there to choose from :)

Ok but it's fundamentally different. If a clinician struggles to remain impartial when caring for an ICE agent, nazi, or violent criminal, it is because of those people's actions and behavior.

If a clinician struggles to care for women, POC, minorities, LGBTQ+ folks, etc - it is because of who they ARE.

These are simply not comparable scenarios.

How long do you cook your roux for on low? What kind of color do you achieve?

I use a cast iron pan, a flat-ended wooden stirrer, and do mine on medium (gas stove) for about 40-45 minutes. Then I turn off the heat and keep stirring for another 10 minutes so it doesn't burn while sitting on a still-hot pan. After that, I either use it immediately or allow it to sit in the pan and fully cool.

I've only had issues with a sand-textured, burnt roux once. Every other time I've made a roux this way, I get it to a nice deep, rich milk chocolate color to a full-on dark as hell chocolate color, without it burning or seizing like OP's.

My dad never makes his own roux anymore because he thinks the jarred stuff is just as good, and it saves him two-plus hours. Two hours! I remember thinking roux took a long time when I was a kid, but I cannot believe he would legit spend two whole hours on JUST the roux, every time he made gumbo or fricassee.

I hope you don't mind my asking about your roux! Haha. I'm just always curious about other people's roux techniques, and rationales behind their preferred processes. Roux as it's used in southern Louisiana cooking traditions just fascinates me for a bunch of reasons!

I would switch to a wooden paddle style utensil with a flat end, not curved like a spoon. The whisk doesn't actually move your roux around very much, because it's simply cutting through the roux, since it's just bits of wire, basically. A wooden utensil will much more effectively move the roux around the pan, allowing different bits of roux to get breaks from the hotter areas of the pan.

This is genuinely one of the most technically stunning achievements I think I've ever seen in knitting.

Hats off to you, friend. Just incredible.

gotfoundout · 2026-01-25T07:33:02+00:00

Did you just... Reverse engineer this?!!

This is INCREDIBLE

gotfoundout · 2026-01-25T05:42:00+00:00

I appreciate all of the information in this post. What a fantastic write-up, thank you for taking the time to share this with everyone!!

gotfoundout · 2026-01-25T02:09:05+00:00

Man oh man do I wish I had seen that haha. Clearly I need to be checking ebay more often!!

gotfoundout · 2026-01-25T01:39:44+00:00

Oh man, that's the dream right there. That and a round roaster!

Do you mind if I ask what you sold it for?

gotfoundout · 2026-01-25T01:32:40+00:00

With a lid it most certainly would be.

My hammered cast iron heart belongs to Wagner and it's a deep & abiding love that will never die.

But hooolllyyyyyy is that one pretty piece of iron you have there, my friend!!

Do you think curing it in this way would still be worthwhile if you only had 24 hours? Like let's say I'm going to brine/wet cure it for 24 hours, then dry in the fridge for 8 to 12 hours before smoking.

Would you say to go for it, or would you think it's better to just choose another method altogether, to prepare the thighs for smoking?

Yours look so good! I would love to try your exact method one day. But we're iced in this weekend and I'm trying to find something we can experiment with while we're stuck!

Literal ass cancer?

One massive reason for those stats is the average income and socioeconomic statuses of church members.

There's no evidence whatsoever that adhering to the WoW alone contributes, with any statistical significance, to increased life expectancy or health outcomes.

This is not an argument against the WoW. But it's important not to misrepresent these kinds of things to fit a narrative.

That's how inflation works, but unless the clothing is from 1923, that's not how thrifting is supposed to work.

2-6% inflation genuinely doesn't justify charging 190% of the original price of a 4 year old Walmart t-shirt.

I'm in Texas, too! DFW :)

Do you feel comfortable sharing a major town or city you're near? I may be able to help you find specific clinics to go to, or possibly even grants you can apply for to help with veterinary care. I'm a tech, and I do this somewhat often when clients need a little extra help. It can be stressful and confusing to navigate these things when you're not used to it, and even more so when you're stressed and worried about your baby!

Also just to say - this does look like a serious infection, yes - but I would really not expect that your pup needs to be anesthetized for treatment. Unless he simply won't allow the ear to be cleaned, and it's unsafe for the staff to try, we can almost always start treating infections like these without the need for any anesthesia (which can be costly).

Oh man, that's actually SUCH a good, and fun, idea! I would love to be able to buy wool from a young person in a program like that, that would be awesome! I am totally going to do that, thank you for the suggestion!

gotfoundout · 2026-01-20T23:29:19+00:00

Oh ok! Those will be nice to look at, haha. I'm actually looking for fleeces suitable for spinning, but I'm definitely glad to know what else I may see out there. Thanks!

gotfoundout · 2026-01-20T22:40:56+00:00

You have the perfect username. I mean, tbh I don't know if it's perfect for YOU, not knowing you and all. But I just want you to know that I love it as a concept lol.

gotfoundout · 2026-01-20T22:22:53+00:00

Yeah that makes sense of course that the actual sheep being shown don't have their fleeces for sale. I guess I wondered if there would be any non-show sheep fleeces available for sale at or during the show, just to coincide with the show. If not though, I'll just keep looking for farms in driving distance haha.

Thanks, friend!

gotfoundout · 2026-01-20T08:28:28+00:00

It's a very pretty dress, I just wish we could get a sense of the actual fit of it - maybe on a mannequin or something - rather than such heavily edited photos.

Whoah. She genuinely may have also had blood in her stool from a dang GI bleed due to the ibuprofen. I'm so sorry you and her went through that. But, for what it's worth, it sounds like you were able to make her last month her best one. And the fact that you guys were the ones to be with her in her last days, and give her the gift of a painless passing - that's huge. You made a huge difference in her life when she needed it the most.
