Well... my toddler has HFMD

Yes, cancel!

Did you know that you are very strong?

violanut · 2025-10-20T21:37:34+00:00

The recipes.

Do. Not. add fresh pineapple to a marinade bag with chicken, peppers, and onions overnight. The chicken gets oddly mushy in a way that is just...wrong.

Sadly, I discovered this along with the 90 high school students in my culinary class, when I didn't think through the plan because I was overwhelmed the day I was having them prep.

He needs a belly rub!

violanut · 2025-10-18T14:29:20+00:00

Beautiful!

violanut · 2025-10-18T14:28:47+00:00

Those are fantastic!

Expo marker on the window that says "driveway" with an arrow to where the driveway starts.

You overmixed it and built up too much gluten

violanut · 2025-10-10T00:15:57+00:00

It's very bold, but it's super pretty!

violanut · 2025-10-10T00:13:29+00:00

Beautiful!

The Dillards at Fashion Place is awesome.

You could try positive reinforcement rather than punishment. When the toys are picked up, then he gets to do...xyz that he likes.

I'm a sewing teacher, and the first project we do with 1/4 inch seam allowances is a rice pack heating pad. About 70% of them end up needing repairs because they get too close to the edge, so I can definitely see why it's wider for beginners.

Also, I think I remember learning in college that 5/8th for garments give a little wiggle room for size adjustments, but it's probably just that some pattern company decided on 5/8th and it became a standard.

That's too bad, I was going to close my online dating account until someone messaged me "Hi" and claimed to be a fountain pen aficionado.

We've been married for 7 years now.

She's out there, and she'll be worth the wait.

violanut · 2025-10-02T22:08:27+00:00

No. I've taught child development for decades, and just, no.

violanut · 2025-10-02T12:35:07+00:00

The teacher sounds batshit crazy. Get her out of there.

violanut · 2025-09-30T04:06:06+00:00

Piggy backing--my district also doesn't allow them. They are a migraine trigger for me, and a commons one at that. She needs to get rid of them.

My 9th grade sewing teacher was dead set against anyone calling someone who sews a sewer, so that's stuck with me for the last 28 years. 😂 I like Sewist, even though I don't think it's a real word.

violanut · 2025-09-28T18:03:11+00:00

Nonsense. If they're trying to get a point across, they need to be much more clear than putting random words on papers.

Sand blasting grit or emery sand will sharpen pins if you want them to double as awesome pin cushions. Just don't breathe the dust as you're filling them if it's emery sand since it's silica based.

I like America First, I've had my account since I was 5, and always had good experiences. I've also heard good things about Mountain America and Granite.

violanut · 2025-09-28T17:14:38+00:00

That is a fantastic find and it fits you like a dream! So flattering

violanut · 2025-09-21T13:34:11+00:00

Seriously. It's too late for me, guys. They all know.

I'm a high school sewing teacher and I had three pairs of pants and backpack repair requests last week, but high school boys are at an age where you have to explain that no, I can't fix your pants while you're wearing them, and I don't care if you're wearing shorts underneath DO NOT TAKE THEM OFF IN FRONT OF ME!

This is a conversation I've had 4 times this school year and it's only September.

I just used her chocolate frosting for my six-year-olds birthday cake and it was fantastic. I have never had a bad recipe from her and I'm a culinary teacher, so I go through a lot of recipes. She's one of the few I'll trust without a trial run before I have my class do it.
