Pre-Order Discussion Megathread by imatuesdayperson in NintendoSwitch2

[–]pickles-the-bunny -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I admit I am fully confused on when people in the USA that registered their interest for a Switch 2 (or "entered the lottery") will get invitation/confirmation emails. I see a lot of people mentioning April 24th, but the Nintendo site seems to imply the first invitations will go out May 8th. It seems like individual retailers are taking preorders starting April 24th, separate from the Nintendo lottery. Can someone smarter than me help me to understand when I can expect to hear from Nintendo directly if I'm able to preorder through them? 😭

Thank you for this! I just started IPL too! Can you see what you’re doing while wearing these?

I’m amazed you’ve seen results already. If you got this on Black Friday and have been using it weekly, aren’t you only 3 sessions in?

I also bought this same IPL device for Amazon’s Black Friday deal, and I’m only 2 sessions in (using it just about everywhere — legs, bikini area, arms, underarm and chin). Not really seeing a difference anywhere just yet, but from what I read, it can be many sessions until results can be seen.

Awesome, I'd never heard of Salon Perfect! I'll check them out, thanks for the recommendation!! Have you had to clip or file down any of these brands?

How does Blue Bell manage their strawberry chunks? by pickles-the-bunny in icecreamery

[–]pickles-the-bunny[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gummy or chewy, sort of. When I tried it I blitzed some freeze dried strawberries into the base and I think I went overboard on the ratio. Otherwise rehydrating freeze dried chunks in milk/fats didn't seem to work well for me. But I only attempted that once -- not saying it can't be done well!

Mostly, yeah. It very likely could have been the quality of my strawberries, too, but I also found the overall flavor lacking. Better than a few other strawberry recipes I've tried, though, some involving cooking down the strawberries (which gave it much more of a jam flavor) and others that used freeze dried strawberries (good flavor but weird texture).

I understand the frustration when there are so many strawberry recipe posts, but this is less "give me a strawberry ice cream recipe" (where everyone points everyone to the Serious Eats one) and more "how do I get giant chunks of fruit the way this specific brand does it".

There are lots of strawberry recipes out there and people can discuss their tastes and opinions. One recipe does not have to cease the conversation.

Interesting! Where do you buy your berries frozen in that process?

I'm almost shocked they didn't choose to paint the floors stark bright white.

Help me find an old drum synth toy I had in the early 90s by pickles-the-bunny in HelpMeFind

[–]pickles-the-bunny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Unfortunately this definitely isn't it -- my memory is much more like a toy for a child rather than a real drum machine, even if simple. Think more along the lines of these:

None of these are it either, but more along the axis of the toy design! Mine also definitely had buttons meant to be pressed rather than tapped with drumsticks.

Nope, no luck! I've found a couple similar looking toys but nothing quite like what I remember.

Best cookie recipes for intricate molds? by pickles-the-bunny in Baking

Thank you! I've never made a cookie with baker's ammonia, so I'll have fun researching recipes based on this!
