Michael Newman50 said:my top 3 most annoying foods at a holiday feast

1. French cuisine - the absolute worst offender when it comes to cluttering up tables, ruining tablecloths, and making buffets a total mess

🙂
Honestly, I can't even look at it without feeling nauseous... I won't get into a graphic, descriptive breakdown here, but the bottom line is that ever since then, I've been avoiding it like the plague...

Samuel Murphy6 said:Here’s my definitive list of cake ingredients that you can absolutely never, ever trust...

I honestly don't understand why people make such a massive deal out of yeast like it’s some kind of high-tech laboratory ingredient when it’s really just the soul of the whole damn process... You can buy those little packets at the local grocery store and think you're a master baker, but if you don't respect how it lives and breathes, you're just wasting flour and wasting my time... It’s about the life in it, the fermentation, the way it transforms a simple dough into something actually worth eating instead of that tasteless brick most people call bread... Honestly, if you aren't paying attention to the temperature and the feeding, you might as well just be eating cardboard... 😠

Oh, man, tell me about it... seriously, that is the absolute truth!
Look, if you're standing there in the grocery aisle and they’ve got more than one brand of yeast sitting on the shelf, for the love of God, do not just grab the cheapest bag because you're trying to save a couple of bucks... seriously, don't do it. You always, always have to check the expiration date first. And even then, honestly? Don't get too cocky thinking a recent date guarantees anything, because sometimes those labels are just plain lying to you and you end up with nothing but a flat, lifeless dough that's basically useless...
Does anyone else still have that phrase burned into their brain... "the dough is going to be rich, soft, and airy!"... I swear, I can still hear it echoing in my head like some sort of culinary prophecy... 🙏 🙏 🙏

Oh my god, absolutely not. There is no way in hell I would ever be caught dead wearing those things... 😁

Yeah, seriously, what even are "štucne"? Are we talking gloves? Socks? I have no clue...

Go ahead then, educate me... 🙂

Sandra Chase16 said:I used my Barbies for all sorts of experiments—using their bodies as little parachutes dropped from the top of skyscrapers, or just targets for my toy guns... by the end, one of them was basically scalped with a plastic knife, such a useless little toy

but that’s why I still hang onto my favorite old toy truck for hauling my Matchbox cars and teddy bears (both of them are ancient, just like me)

hehe, I've still got some Barbies and a little excavator tucked away in storage too😬 🙂

Anyway, maybe those kids raised in the middle of a big city like NYC won't really get it 😁, but have you ever actually had your face smeared with crushed leaves from a weeping willow tree? 🙂

Wait, are those actually supposed to be sushi rolls?? 😲 😲
I tried them once. But honestly, I swear there were little bits of hot dogs stuffed inside them 😬

It was at some random Korean culture showcase dinner... they had food and everything. The actual presentation was an absolute train wreck 👎 but we all just went absolutely feral on the buffet afterward to make up for it...

brightridge19 said:1. Artichokes
2. Some really high-quality sushi

Seriously, artichokes are everything. But I honestly don't get why they cost an arm and a leg at the grocery store, it's just ridiculous...
And when you say "sushi," are we talking about those fancy sit-down spots or can you actually whip it up at home? If it's the second one, please, for the love of god, drop the recipe🙂

Oh, and by the way, since I never bother keeping up with whatever's on TV these days, I only just caught that commercial with you today😬

bwahahaha, but honestly, this is just freaking incredible 🤣 🤣

The absolute highlights of my day:
1. Deciding to ride my bike through the city, only to find out the local health food store is closed today because of some renewable energy initiative or whatever... just great.
2. I’m walking along the side road, filming a parked car, slowing down just a bit, when suddenly this woman decides she needs to move at the very last second and slams right into the back of my bike—bending the wheel completely. A real class act, truly...
3. Falling asleep out of nowhere and then getting jolted awake by a massive nightmare...

jim draž james said:The ultimate NONNINE (Mary from San Francisco) kitchen rankings:

1. jambalaya (kind of like a bean and sauerkraut mix)
2. homemade gnocchi... which always fall apart. Out of five pieces, I usually end up with nothing but crumbs left on the plate
3. corn chowder
4. asparagus frittata (I mean, anyone can whip this up, but hers is just on another level)
5. old French toast with eggs + sugar

🙂 Grandma’s cooking is always...

@all you people from the previous thread - I'm gonna head out eventually and I won't be talking to any of you... 😬

Man, what a total joke! 😎

But seriously, there’s a real chance I might head up north this Friday on business 😬 though honestly, it all depends on how things shake out. So, if you guys have anything interesting going on, let me know... 🎉

There’s just too many of them...😬
A thousand different places to stay and barely any time to actually see anything!! How on earth is anyone supposed to remember it all!?🥳 😬

I mean, seriously, what is hollowseal33 even rambling about now? I’m just gonna toss her on the ignore list and call it a day...😬

🤔
And now lonebison37 actually thinks they might be onto something wrong...
Who even are they? 😬

hollowseal33 said:and that’s the exact same guy we already set you up with, nothing more and nothing less...😁

😲

God is great!🙏

God, yes... those shoulders are absolutely unreal.

Is this some guy from the forums? 😬

Dana Anderson4 said:Look, folks, I’ve gotta be honest with you—I have absolutely no clue what the hell is even happening on this thread anymore... I mean, seriously? It feels like it’s high time someone just compiled a massive list of every single user here along with their completely useless, "charming" little Top 10 lists, and then we should all just head down to the local pub together because right now, this whole thing is reading like some pathetic transcript from a middle school detention session...😁 👋 🙂 🙂

Sandstone Forum - the absolute best! 😍 😍 😍

Watch out for the overcharge...😎
