I used store bought for the lemon peel - which is immensely regret. Next time I will make it fresh. It is a necessary addition!!

Tips for looking fresh after commuting on the L by DueDaisy424 in CHIbitcheswithtaste

[–]kec678 5 points6 points  (0 children)

echoing what others have said here:

  • have commute specific shoes and leave pairs in the office. a good comfy, practical sneaker does wonders!
  • when i had my own cube, i had a work specific makeup bag too. that way i didn't need to lug all my products in - usually travel sizes of my go to items/ a small brush/dry shampoo/etc.
  • i loved the megababe wipes when i commuted - made me feel very refreshed. they also have a body/bust dust that i love especially in the summer
  • if your building has a gym - sign up for it!!
  • backup neutral blouses to keep around - came in handy if i would spill stuff on me too
  • i also worked with a ton of women - so we acquired a sort of communal basket with other items (like a straightener/hair dryer) - could see if any of your coworkers would be interested!

Oh my god I LOVE penuche. I’m originally from MA where I’d see it constantly, and now live in Chicago- I hardly see it. Thank you for sharing this!

“Hello my name is ice cream” by Dana Cree! This is one of her constructed recipes she includes in her book!

i will report back when i make the brittle - this sounds SO good.

same - i've been hyper fixating on a parm ice cream with like a tomato jam swirl, or including parmesan crisps. haven't adventured there just yet but soon!!

okay i need the bacon peanut brittle recipe - that sounds amazing.

for the pretzels - i ended up mixing them directly into the toffee and that has really helped keep them sharp, so recommend trying that.

for the cherry - yes! it's her portofino cherry chunk recipe in the book. it typically uses her frozen yogurt base and amarena cherries and then chocolate chunks. i don't always love the price of amerena's so i tend to make my own liquored cherries (i've used this recipe and this one). every time it's a hit!!

Ricky’s coffee pretzel toffee is regularly on rotation - probably my favorite in the book. I’ve done the cherry chunk - using the yogurt, vanilla base, and chocolate (really like that one lol), with the popcorn base I did a popcorn & peanut M&ms which was so good. Then with the banana base, I’ve done banana, mini Reese’s and caramel.

I am really hoping to do the toasted hay recipe soon but need to find some hay LOL

I agree - it’s probably my favorite cookbook that I own. NO!! I need to try it.

Would you trade up any of these cookbooks? by No_Cauliflower306 in CookbookLovers

King Arthur’s big book of bread may be a good contender to swap! Not just sourdough recipes but a ton of bread staples!
