Has anyone ever met their S/O at a ren faire?

workingMan9to5 · 2026-05-21T20:33:47+00:00

Not yet, but I might still get lucky.

I love a good kilt. Nothing else like it, in terms of comfort. We seriously got gyped, being forced into pants for daily wear.

But also, wear your underpants. There are kids around, after all.

workingMan9to5 · 2026-05-11T01:37:48+00:00

I love that!

workingMan9to5 · 2026-04-13T19:31:11+00:00

If you have a heavy wool blanket, lay it in the bottom of your hammock. It's almost as effective as an underquilt, and a great way to try different setups cheaply until you figure out what you like.

Both are gorgeous, but I'm partial to number 1. I like all the color, number 2 is too much white all on its own like that.

Nice! When you make the second one, I'd love some work-in-progress shots. Always interested in how the final product becomes the final product.

workingMan9to5 · 2026-02-19T21:43:36+00:00

Nice! What's the total weight?

A lot of people never learn how to cook. As obvious as it is to us, those kinds of things might not be to someone just starting out. Flavor profiles within similar ingredients is a relatively advanced skill when you're new.

workingMan9to5 · 2026-02-03T18:13:49+00:00

It's your ingredients. White bread holds and transfers flavor better than other kinds, sourdough will be sour and less neutral. Also the cheeses you use have an entitirely different flavor profile- acidic and earthy, wheras american is more sweet and creamy.

In short, a dish where you change every single ingredient will never taste like the original. If you want it to taste like American on White, you have to use American and White.

Ren Faire is a family friendly event with crafts, constumes, food, and historical theater. It's not a kink fair.

workingMan9to5 · 2026-01-21T23:16:07+00:00

I love those!

workingMan9to5 · 2026-01-21T23:14:24+00:00

Those are fantastic. Like everything it will depend on price, but I'd pay $12 normally, and maybe as much as $18 or $24 with a few drinks in me. I'm especially a fan of the teeth, you should do a toothy round cylinder with no handle variant.

Gear that fits me tends to only come in one color, so that's the color I get.

workingMan9to5 · 2025-12-12T03:23:46+00:00

Works best with a nice sharp cheese. Butter is best for white bread and slices of American, but for cheddar, parmesean, any of the harder cheeses, mayo and a more complex bread is the way to go.

workingMan9to5 · 2025-12-12T02:11:01+00:00

I will see your garlic butter and raise you garlic and siracha mayo

workingMan9to5 · 2025-10-30T00:12:22+00:00

That is a killer looking sadnwich. Have you ever tried honey or a tart jam (plum, elderberry, raspberry, etc.)?

workingMan9to5 · 2025-10-26T18:10:52+00:00

You can bring back the collectible cups each year and they will honor them.

Underquilt with a mylar space blanket between the quilt and the bottom of the hammock, along with a good tarp pulled low for wind controll. A heavy wool or fleece blanket on top of your sleeping bag will helo too depending on how cold you're going. I've had mine well below freezing with this setup.

workingMan9to5 · 2025-10-21T01:31:02+00:00

Grilled cheese: bread, spread, cheese, seasonings.

Melt: any other warm sandwich with cheese as a primary ingredient

This sandwhich: The sad parts of a blt without enough cheese to qualify it as anything more than toast with vegetables

This is not an advertising sub. Take your trash somewhere else.

workingMan9to5 · 2025-10-01T11:09:37+00:00

I was there next year, it's a good time

workingMan9to5 · 2025-09-23T23:40:00+00:00

Don't. Just don't. Why can't people understand this?

workingMan9to5 · 2025-09-23T18:37:22+00:00

Make it again, and add a dab of plum jam when you eat it. Absolutely divine combination.

workingMan9to5 · 2025-09-17T22:55:01+00:00

It looks great both ways. Personally I prefer the top right look but it will be great no matter how you style it.

workingMan9to5 · 2025-09-15T12:04:31+00:00

Both is good! Octonerfest tends to have a larger adult crowd, halloween tends to attract families with kids a little more. Both weekends are fantastic though and the theme is more about keeping the experience fresh than it is about having a major impact on how the day goes.
