I dislike McDonald's but I love to eat at sketchy restaurants. Decisions, decisions.

Smerch

I used to ask all of my questions at once. The overworked folks would only ever answer the first one. So... One at a time it is.

Fair enough. If I witnessed a deer bashing its own brains out, I would definitely be so fucking freaked out my memory would be doing wild shit about the encounter, too. Filling in details that weren't there, not noticing that only part of the brain fell out, just completely unreliable.

Her work did really speak to me as a young gay child in a place where it wasn't ok. That being said, fuck the author. Haven't gone to the park, haven't seen the new movies, haven't played the new games, haven't given her any money in well over a decade.

In this day and age, I can easily find entertainment elsewhere. Anyone else that loved her work can do the same.

I hate it when people just barge in.

Ehh. Not a huge fan of both applesauce AND pear juice. Lots of added sugar. At a minimum, I would replace the applesauce with apple slices or the pear juice with water.

If it's in the budget, some carrots would make this better. They're fairly inexpensive if you get whole carrots and process them how you'd like. I like to buy a lot of them, cut them as part of meal prep, and eat/use them over the week.

The sandwich is fine, especially if this person doesn't typically eat a large lunch. I wouldn't have thought it was out of place if that was a whole sandwich, though.

Hard disagree. A sweet and tangy custard pie? Nice and cool, especially if it's served on a warm day? Yes, please!

I love garlic bread. It's great with a meal. But if it's what's for dessert, I will pass.

Hand tools? Secondhand or Harbor Freight.

Corded? Whatever you can find secondhand. I haven't looked into Harbor Freight power tools recently. Last I checked, the price isn't competitive for these, but I might be wrong. Otherwise, I'll either go Ryobi or find something I would like. (I have a DeWalt miter saw, since I wanted something more accurate.)

Cordless? Batteries make this a challenge. Buying separate batteries is expensive. It's a lot more economical to buy batteries as a set with a tool. I've stuck with Ryobi. Got a big, cheap set with batteries and basic tools. Picked up a few more tools over the years. I figure if I need something higher quality, I'll get it. I'm not a professional, so I don't ask a whole lot from the tools. Never felt like I needed to upgrade.

Gotta really enunciate "Lidl" if you read this out loud...

one yuri, please

In the comments, sure. I want to hear about substitutions that work, variations that are interesting, and where common substitutions or adjustments fail. (Does adapting this recipe for high altitude work?) An experimental substitution or modification that didn't work? I'll likely find that useless, but whatever.

In the rating, it's just noise. The number should be a guide to answering the question "if I make this item as written, will it be good?" A poor rating based on not following the directions is misleading, same as a good rating based on making changes to a bad recipe.

The author's feelings do not factor in.
