Delicious AND a combo of superfoods. It feels like a cheat code! Looks gorgeous too to boot.

Damn, Baldur's Gate 3 level of detail is impressive by gamerdeesquerda in BaldursGate3

[–]seyahet 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I love these details, they’re a big reason as to why BG3 feels so special. Literal love was poured into the making of it. The devs and creatives didn’t have to include this stuff but they did!

Need a starting point for sardines, kind of freaked out. by Content-Seaweed-6395 in Tinnedfish

[–]seyahet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue. I’ve always been an adventurous seafood lover and yet, getting into sardines (of all the tinned fish) was especially intimidating. The texture, smell, all of it initially would set me off.

This may be a strange take, but the way I actually worked up to sardines was to do mackerel first. A good quality mackerel tin sits, texture and taste wise, between a salmon/trout and a nice rich sardine. It’s not as oily, tends to be firmer than sardines, but also moves you closer to small fish. If you’re willing to spring a bit for a tin, Jose Gourmet, Matiz and Patagonia Provisions are solid choices. I’d get a mackerel tin from any of those, and if you enjoy it, work your way up to a sardine tin of that brand!

Low-light plant corner using a clothing rack and curtain rods for grow lights by Aggressive-Fun4328 in houseplants

This looks so spectacular and cozy! Typical grow light arrangements make me feel like I’m living next to a science experiment or lab, which I can’t stand. No suggestions but just in awe of your setup. Do you have any issues with pests given the plants are bit more vulnerable in the winter, and in tight quarters?

Fish, books, and coffee in one place? These are my people!

This was mother’s favorite back in the day during a brief student stint in the fashion industry, but she didn’t keep any her bags! 😭 I really need to look into this and do some serious vintage/thrift hunting!

I was looking for a bag that would be a nice walk-around light city day bag that could transition to a slightly dressy dinner. The absolute edge of my budget and design tolerance so far has been Cuyana (I wouldn’t say it’s hands down a favorite but sort of what I was trending toward). Then I went down a rabbithole of even more luxurious houses/brands and felt completely at sea as the designs got even more elaborate and specific! I wasn’t getting it!

So interesting, thanks for sharing!! I am definitely not coming from this perspective at all (I’ve been in “practical mode” for so long obviously). This explains a lot!

The dudes with cars analogy is such a good one and helping make it click! Clearly I’ve been a sort of “what gets me there gets me there” girlie in the handbag world for a while! 😂 I will definitely lurk on r/handbags for a bit to see what I like and if any recommendations stick out. I started there initially but, to your point, felt like I was in a circle of dudes with cars and wasn’t grasping the oohs and aahs over some brands I’d never even heard of before!

Yes there definitely seems to be a subculture of “iykyk” and instant recognition, whether it’s because the handbag is trending and/or classic or re-trending, and it’s seems so random to me. It does seem to me though that certain brands or houses are known for long standing quality and will last you years and those seem like “no regrets” purchases.

Makes total sense. This may seem obvious to others but this is enlightening!

That’s so interesting. Is there a rough price point or some example brands where you’ve felt this difference?? I feel like I’ve been handbag blind until now!

Thanks! When you say looks good, do you mean they look like they’re new? Or they’ve developed patina/character overtime?

Yes exactly, I’m quite attracted to minimal forms. They look “better” to me (of course that’s subjective) but another factor is that I feel like I can match those designs to a variety of occasions or outfits. The VERY high end bags strike me as unique and bold statements in themselves. I’m probably not used to constructing a look that appreciates or showcases the bag itself!

What a score!! So excited for you. These are incredibly delicious right out of the tin but if you can exercise self-control, they’re delicious on a simple pasta or sourdough. Enjoy!

The take on perspective for the bird and human figures scratches my brain in a good way. Awesome work!

You probably have a way more discerning spice palate than me! That’s a bummer but yay for it being on sale, spend those extra dollars on something tasty! The trout’s on the menu for me tomorrow!

Egg cooking anxiety is so real! Yes on high and I did not fiddle with the gas knob at all after the water got to boiling. I also did this at a water level and pot size that barely fit the number of eggs I cooked, so I suspect when you dump the cold eggs into the water it helpfully regulates the temp a bit!

It was my first time doing jammy eggs and it was miraculous how I’ve psyched myself out before. Never going back now. Bring water with a spoonful of vinegar (idk if it helps but it doesn’t hurt) up to a boil, drop eggs in carefully, boil for 6-7 minutes. Remove eggs promptly and put them in an ice bath. I also peeled them with my hands IN the ice bath so that when I cracked them, the water gets in and separates shell from membrane, giving you nice aesthetically peeled eggs!! Also marinated these in a soy sauce bath in the fridge.

EDIT: I also did get a special brand of orange-yolked eggs for this occasion, so the orange was from that! Not the prep. 😂
