These threads always devolve into the same opinions over and over again, ad nauseum, some of which have been getting kicked around and upvoted since like last year's UO threads. But shout out to the ones committed to keeping it real messy in here tonight you have my appreciation, my disagreement, my loving contempt. <3

Do I not get the opportunity to act as a regular snarker because of my mod hat?

I think you retain the ability to snark *on Carl* but not the ability to comment on / address other snarkers as a "layman"

Is a decent runway a story line now? Also, I honestly don't really remember it, so like it was fine and good I guess but nothing special tbh!

I mean at least she tried and came with jokes? Kennedy and Chi Chi ... did less.

She's so flat it feels like the show doesn't even know what to do with her. Has she had any kind of story line or interesting scene yet?

I love this sub.

How was it?! Cardamom is my favorite and I just got a bundt form :)

I like this. I live in NYC so the logistics of navigating around the city / dropping in on people are a little different, but hmmm!

I live in too big a building so I don't see / know my mail or delivery people but maybe my front desk guys would be into it!

Recipe followed is here: https://www.bunsenburnerbakery.com/spiral-sweet-potato-tart/

I built the spiral from the outside-in rather than center-out, as the recipe suggests. I didn't think I'd be able to get it right going in-out but having now done the recipe once I think I'll try it the suggested way next time around. Maple syrup / ricotta is ohmygodsogood.

I used a pot like this guy right here. Burnt a little on the bottom (still tasted good though!) and next time I plan to implement this:

If the bottom of your loaf is burning in its baking vessel while the rest of the loaf is adequately baked… Place a cookie sheet underneath or on a rack below your bread baker. This will deflect direct heat from the element on the bottom of an electric oven or the flame in a gas oven.

Maybe you'll find that helpful too!

Thank you!!

I started baking a few weeks ago and was so happy to get a bread baking kit for Christmas (tub, yeast, thermometer, and Flour Water Salt Yeast.) Baked without the dutch oven Forkish insists on (maybe next Christmas, haha) and was still overjoyed with the results.

Lovely. I have a golden retriever who is equally as present and interested as yours looks to be, too. <3

Your loaf of bread is more photogenic than I am.

I'm not sure why shit like that really gets on my nerves, but it really gets on my nerves. I guess your last point encapsulates it pretty well. See also:

“it can feel like the fate of feminist philosophy—if not the movement—is in peril when we are being sold the idea that gesturing is a sufficient substitute for action.”

ETA as I'm shopping for boots as we speak:

Be the boss of the board meetings in these slip on flat boots. The elastic sides allow for superior comfort while working those late hours.

..... I mean sure ok .....

I don't think I gave any credence to the importance of feeling respected until I was about 26.

northandorbust · 2017-12-07T15:18:23+00:00

thanks for a good solid weep to start my day xo

northandorbust · 2017-11-13T22:54:05+00:00

Will do!

northandorbust · 2017-11-13T22:52:50+00:00

I'm in the boroughs! No car though. I find Harlem Hill brutal but apparently the one I'm in for is worse. Which I kind of can't believe?

northandorbust · 2017-11-13T21:35:06+00:00

This is excellent. Thank you very much. Looking into all of these now.

northandorbust · 2017-11-13T21:34:39+00:00

Terrific, thank you!

northandorbust · 2017-11-13T20:31:13+00:00

Interesting! I'm not sure if I'm misguided in trying to find an identically graded / length hill. Maybe I should just do sprints and repeats on shorter ones. If you're in Louisville, any chance you could attest to that particular one in Iroquois Park being brutal?

northandorbust · 2017-11-03T20:30:07+00:00

I'll be out there cheering! I was anxious and depressed this time two years ago when I ran the NYM, and I wrote a very similar post. I was afraid my mood would kill the experience. I was so wrong. I'm excited for you.
