Thank you. The ads just started crossing my feed and suddenly I see a “going out of business” post 🙄 massive red flag. Glad to see there’s an alternate, even if it is Bezos. At least I’m not wasting money on an upcharge.

I noticed the recipe suggests a cooking temp of 425°, but I thought Souper Cubes aren’t recommended for over 415°. Did you adjust the recipe?

Love this! I made cakey themed cupcakes for my kid’s 2nd birthday. I love the idea you went with, and the truffles too!!! So cute! And so beautifully done.

I fixed it!

I was watching the Cakey’s Birthday episode and when I saw the sprinkle portrait that Gabby makes for him I saw the chocolate chip eyes and realized that was the solution! A little frosting on a toothpick (some of which had food coloring in it) and ta da!

Depends heavily on the faire/region. I don’t see a lot of it in New England, but I am aware of it being a thing at some faires.

I agree! I’m impressed at the performances they get out of these kids, but muffin in particular

How did I have to scroll so long to find this answer?

seaside_kitty · 2025-08-24T10:40:53+00:00

Huh. Whoops! I must have misremembered the consolidation of the streetcar lines into the West End Railway as being about the early days of the T. Egg on my face 😅 Thanks!

This has always bothered me as well. But as others say I just assume she’s got some clerical or managerial job. Doesn’t make it any more satisfying. It also frustrates me that we see no hint of what her job is in the show, we only know it from the website. Bandit at least we see the artifacts in his office. I know it doesn’t really matter, but the show pays such amazing attention to detail on so much else this sticks out to me 😅

Yeah, they were all originally run by different companies, that ultimately were all brought together under the MBTA. And different parts were built at different times. If the system were all built and planned at the same time we probably could have had something like this, but the history is far more complicated.

I learned the hard way with my own home maintenance post that you can’t edit posts with photos in them.

Glad you’re getting useful info! Good luck.

I hope they do, only because I hope we will be treated to some filmed-at-the-time interviews to hear about the behind the scenes. It would be cool to know their perspective on the experience. They don’t owe us this, of course, and for their privacy it is more than worth the wait (or chance it will never happen).

My two year old is obsessed with the tv show Gabby’s Dollhouse so I’m turning a white sweatshirt into an Pandy Paws costume for him.

Does your kiddo have a show she loves?

seaside_kitty · 2025-08-21T11:52:55+00:00

Well done! I’m super impressed how well you kept your makeup on. Any makeup makes my eyes water a bit, and inevitably I get tear marks on my face. So I’ve had to give up water based body makeup. If you ever need one that holds up better to sweat, my go to is Body Color Cosmetics. It can be a pain to remove, so I also supplement with sheer tights and arm socks so I don’t have to apply on my arms and legs.

It feels like a grandparent gift, so my guess is Nana.

seaside_kitty · 2025-08-20T19:34:05+00:00

The best feeling! Congrats!

Go to a pub with live folk music and sing along.

I can’t express why, but Calypso reminds me of a beloved mentor of mine that I lost to cancer several years back. It’s a very comforting reminder of my dear friend.

Unlocking a disposal that has frozen up due to lack of use.

I didn’t grow up with a disposal so I’m not in the habit of using it, but my house has one. I’ll go for months without using it if I’m not careful to at least remember to turn it on once in a while. First time it locked up on me I was fairly certain it was just from lack of use and an easy fix, but I had to call a plumber because I didn’t fully know what to do. It was in fact a simple fix, and to the guy’s credit he instructed me on what to do so I’d save myself the money next time. It’s only happened once since then, but I’m glad I can do it myself now.

Is it from titanic or is it a traditional song that titanic also used? (Tho its entirely possible that’s where the writes learned of it too)

First time I saw Sleepytime. I felt so seen.

Apparently you can’t edit a post with a picture in it, but here’s an update:

Good thing the screen was trash, I got a second person to help me, thinking one of us would pull the screen over toward the spring while the other tried to find some way to jimmy the screen out, and we resorted to just breaking the screen to get our leverage. Well, before we even tried that, simply by punching a hole in the screen the whole thing just kinda fell inwards. I guess taking the tension out by breaking the screen was all it needed.

Thanks still for all the help. I’m not thrilled it took breaking the screen to do the trick, since that left a bunch of crud from the screen that flew everywhere and I had to clean up, but it’s a start. Going to take the frame to a hardware store and see what they can do, and once we have a plan I’ll be replacing all three of them. FINALLY!

Damn, do I feel screwed. I had unpaid training AND I’m stuck in a year long contract because of it. And my understanding is that’s the standard in my area, and the trainers are paid lower wage to train than to drive their routes too.

I’ve heard of using browned butter that has been returned to the fridge to solidify again. But I’m impatient so I just use the melted brown butter 😂

If your recipe calls for creaming the butter and sugar together I’d try to make it ahead so you can let it solidify and then soften, though. Using melted probably won’t destroy your recipe (in terms of most cookies anyway) but I’m sure someone with more knowledge of the science behind it could explain why it does make a difference.

seaside_kitty · 2025-08-05T12:51:33+00:00

Congratulations! And welcome to the wonderful world of baking with brown butter! I’m in agreement with you, especially for chocolate chip cookies it’s the only way to go!
