LOL! I knew this comment would be here.

Taffy and toffee are not the same thing. But for that matter, neither are taffy and caramel, so I’m not sure how that particular weird argument and misnaming happened in the first place. Caramel is sugar and water and sometimes cream. Taffy is cream, sugar, butter and a flavoring, Toffee is a molasses, treacle or…
Just like popcorn balls, to get a really good one, you just have to do it yourself.
Yeah, orchards typically use “ugly” apples. They know we’ve been trained to look for beautiful produce, but covering a perfectly good but unattractive apple in caramel, nuts and chocolate rather neatly sidesteps that subliminal training.
What has worked for me (doing caramel apple slices,) has been drying the apples slightly, either with a brief blast in the dehydrator, or with your kitchen hairdryer. Even just patting them dry with a paper towel would help. The caramel will stick much better when the apple’s surface is dry.
Might help if you drivers used your fucking turn signals so that I knew what the hell you intended to do when you sat at the corner honking and flailing at me from inside the cab of your suburban assault vehicle.
I make cupcakes and get comments like “why is there frosting on this muffin” so yeah...they’re a whole other...thing. I can’t make a properly light and fluffy and moist cupcake to save my life, and I’ve done complicated and technical stuff well (and with much less swearing) before. Probably cupcakes just suck.
I want someone else to make me a Battenberg cake, because I’ve done it before, and it’s a lot of work with very little room for error and I am not a patient person. I learned this, oddly enough, making a Battenberg cake.
National coffee day notwithstanding, it’s actually time for the fallffogato. Hot spiced cider (spiked with either applejack or just plain brandy,) cinnamon ice cream, and a bit of caramel sauce on top.
And you’re just bound and determined to listen to your own bias rather than what anyone else is trying to tell you.
There is a bag of salad in my example. There’s also a shitload of refined and ultra-refined carbs, salts and sugars, because everything is pre-prepared. If you think that pre-prepared food is just as healthy as raw rather than full of sodium, sugar, stabilisers and fillers, then you really haven’t been paying…
Particularly that bit about staff. Your waitress/waiter is not an automaton, they are a person. A person with a family. A person who does not want to get sick or take that sickness home and infect other people. Yes, they are also a person who needs a job to support their family, but it’s much harder to do that dead…
That first point kind of sounds like he either had underlying problems with that same tooth (which will make his court case potentially invalid) or like he really should have gone to another dentist for a second opinion.
Also completely ignores that cooking is a luxury that some families can’t afford to acquire. If both parents are working two jobs (or taking double shifts at one) and even the teenagers have an after school job, who’s left to cook for the littles? Who’s going to be capable of standing in front of a countertop or range…
The thing is, the active compound that’s the problem is also the active flavouring compound. Real licorice is flavored with licorice rather than anise or fennel, and that’s the distinction; it’s not a question of expense. Even something as cheap and tasteless as Twizzlers Nibs or Crows is going to be a problem if…
I love licorice and hate fennel. Can I have all your licorice? You can have every bit of my fennel, an even trade.
Go read the similar article on Gizmodo for more info. The man already had a poor diet and a couple of other confounding conditions and was eating one to two bags a day. https://gizmodo.com/too-much-licorice-stopped-man-s-heart-and-killed-him-d-1845168547
I’d still head to McDonald’s. But that may be simply because the local McD’s has gotten my and my mother’s order so wrong so many times since the beginning of the pandemic (we’re the people who in the drive through have the “ooh, what you ordered sounds good, ask her to change my order to your order? Just with a…
Depends on who you are, I’m guessing. I only know one couple where a majority of everything was paid for by the parents; the bride was Asian the groom was white, their families were upper upper middle class. Every other couple I know has had to do it themselves. Many got married in someone’s backyard or a church…
