Lol ok I feel dumb after looking at the comments. I thought you meant like... On rollercoaster rides or something.

I feel like the answer to this question will depend on your location and what you're used to seeing. I personally grew up in the Chicago suburbs and then moved to Chicago and the difference in choices at the grocery store is night and day. Not only are there far more niche items, but there are also more stores to select from. So if one store doesn't have something, I simply go to another. But I also have noticed that if I'm out in the rural areas, it's pretty strictly the basics. There's also a big difference between regions. I have more variety in Chicago than in Phoenix and there's certainly more variety in New York than Chicago. I haven't noticed a drop off at my usual grocery stores, however....

I have noticed a large drop in variety specifically at box clothing outlets. There is less variety and less stocked sizes readily available. I think this is likely because of the proliferation of online shopping and corporations seeing this as an opportunity to save money by simply shipping less popular items to stores when people can order them online instead.

That's just been my personal experience having traveled around a bit 🤷

Generally it's fine to remove those but I would consider having it put back on if you live anywhere that gets snow. Reason being is that this plate protects undercarriage parts from excessive corrosion as a result of salt on the roads. So your car isn't going to break down if you remove it, but if you plan to keep the car long-term, it can extend the life of those parts. As someone who works on my own car and has also had several 15+ year old vehicles, I can attest that this plate does indeed reduce corrosion in those areas.

Everybody to the limit Everybody to the limit Everybody, come on, fhqwhgads!

Haven't you heard? We're living in a "feelings" world now.

I know you're looking for real sources, but my own personal source as an American is my English sister-in-law that specifically asks for us to send her giant blocks of Velveeta cheese when we come to visit and who specifically eats all the things that are banned over there when she comes to visit us. Very small sample size so take it with a grain of salt.

There's actually a better way to get more garlic flavor into your dishes without adding more. The secret is to add the garlic at the last possible moment in the cooking process to reduce the garlic oxidation. The more it oxidizes the less flavor it has. It oxidizes the second you break the cell walls so waiting until the end of possible helps retain the flavor and make it more potent!

While that is what this looks like, both comment/post histories just look like normal accounts to me.

Bro if you like any of these things then who cares? What matters is that people of all wakes of life have added their flare to pizza there are so many regional and cultural varieties of pizza it's akin to dog breeds and is something beautiful. Pizza forever.

Has anyone watched the most recent season of The Rehearsal? Nathan mentions that an episode of his previous show "Nathan for You" was taken off Paramount Plus because it had a segment where he started a fashion line where the profits would go toward holocaust education and remembrance. So even though this was a positive thing, it still brings up the holocaust and is therefore too sensitive subject to air. He then proceeds to paint Paramount Plus as literal Nazis in proceeding episodes to drive his point home. Highly recommend if you haven't seen his new show yet.

 

Walked out of a movie at the Alamo Draft House to this. Lots of people out partying after the Cubs game suddenly scrambling to get inside.

 

Mr.Brody won an Oscar time for Brodyquest!!

 

Oldie but a goodie

 

I wanted to try out the Wray & Nephew rum that @Infynis used in a previous post and I think it turned out great! It was a LOT cheaper than I expected which is always a plus!

Recipe:

  • 11/2 oz Virgin lslands Rum
  • 11/2 oz Pineapple Juice
  • 3/40z Cream Of Coconut
  • 3/40z Fresh Orange Juice
  • Fresh Grates Nutmeg Garnish
 

It's been a very long week working 10 hours days. So I'm ending it on a a sweet note with one of my favorite dessert cocktails!

Recipe:

  • 1 oz Bourbon
  • ¾ oz Mr. Coffee
  • ¾ oz demerara syrup
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ oz heavy cream (oat milk and chickpea milk work good as alternatives)
  • Nutmeg for garnish

Combine ingredients except nutmeg and dry shake (shake longer if using a milk substitute). Add ice and shake vigorously. Double strain into coup glass and grate a nutmeg on top for garnish.

My personal favorite version uses barista oat milk, but I'm sure you can use whatever milk or milk alternative you like.

Gettin' too big and stretchy for its pot!

Hey everyone, I just got back from vacation and I'm super happy to see that the community didn't implode! Thank you all for being respectful while I was away and making my first mod experience a good one. I'll have to find a mod buddy before my next vacation 🤣.

 

I'm back from vacation and it looks like this community died while I was away 😭. Not to worry, my husband turned into a mad scientist and decided he needed to make angostura ice cream. Is it a cocktail? Probably not, but I'll let you decide. If you want to give this a try without making homemade ice cream, you can just top some vanilla ice cream in angostura bitters and enjoy!

Thanks everyone for being respectful while I was away! I need to get a new mod buddy before my next vacation 🤣. I'll post an actual real cocktail soon.

 

This is my husband's creation and it's quite tasty! Also I'm aware that I've posted a lot of matcha cocktails lately, but I guess that's what I've been in the mood for 🤷.

Recipe:

  • 3/4 oz. St. George spiced pear liqueur
  • 2 oz. London dry gin
  • 3/4 oz. Honey syrup
  • 1 oz. Lemon juice
  • 1 Egg white
  • 1/4 tsp. Matcha powder
  • 1 Basil leaf for garnish

Combine ingredients in a shaker and dry shake for about 20 seconds. Add ice and shake until chilled, about 10 more seconds. Double strain into a glass and garnish with a basil leaf.

Out of all the recipes I've tried, this is my absolute favorite non-alcoholic recipe from the book Regarding Cocktails! It does contain angostura bitters, but you can leave those out if you want the drink to be 100% alcohol free. But even if you don't, it contains no more than kombucha would. Excellent recipe to make in large batches that you can add soda water to when ready to drink!

Recipe:

  • 1 oz. Lemon juice
  • 1 oz. Pineapple juice
  • 1 oz. Ginger syrup
  • 1 Bar spoon of maple syrup
  • A dash of angostura bitters
  • 3 oz. Soda water

Combine all but the soda water and shake vigorously with ice. Strain into a Collins glass with a spear of ice and a straw. Carefully top with soda water. (There isn't a garnish in the book, but some suggestions I like to use include mint, cucumber, lemon peel, or candied ginger).

 

This is my first focaccia made from Claire Saffitz's book Dessert Person. Here's a video with the recipe for those interested.
