'Dirty Girls'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yeah, aluminum is reactive. I have a bigass aluminum pot, but I don't use it much.
I prefer stainless steel mixing bowls: they're not breakable, but they're more solid and clean better than plastic bowls. My electric mixer comes with glass bowls, and I really don't like them.
I just got news that a dear friend of mine (who I visited on Sunday) gave birth to a 9lb girl on Tuesday. That's a big girl!
Still raining down here. What a craptacular day.Sometimes it switches to a mix of snow and freezing rain/sleet/[something that goes tic tic tic on my windows, but looks like snow]
Also, why are metal mixing bowls so damned popular? The sound of metal on metal aches my teeth. Oxo has a line of plastic bowls that I like, but I could have bought a dozen sets of metal ones in the time it takes to find each of the Oxo three. Not to mention way too few pyrex ones along the way.
I think because plastic bowls sometimes seem to retain a greasy feeling (like if you've had say pasta sauce or something in them). The metal just cleans up better (so better for beating *gg whites, etc.).
And then I got an email and remembered that I'm booked all afternoon for a periodic Buffy Marathon that I completely spaced on.
I need 'Suela's booking people to be my booking people. I'm booked for laundry and cooking, and hiding from the snow.
I had to get rid of the metal mixing bowls. I'd try and find ways to not use them, just to avoid hearing them touch as I unstacked them.
Glass/pyrex is my preference, but I'm going to make do with the plastic.
I did see metal bowls with rubber on the outside, which'd take the noise away, but they were going for too much.
I was! Wierd, huh?
Weird, but good.
Yay for ita feeling better, and for her finding cake flour.
I seem to have darkiish brown hair. It's weird. I think it's good, though I think I need to think about it more.
Those are nice, but yes, expensive. Oh, that page reminds me, I forgot chilling. For making whipped cream, and even pie crust, some people like to chill the bowls, beaters, etc., and the metal bowls chill better. I don't have that noise-squick for most metal on metal, but I have noise squicks and do what I can to avoid them. I am literally shuddering just typing about noise squicks.
I seem to have darkiish brown hair.
Oh, but this is a good start. From there you can start adding highlights until you get it where you want it.
Yep. It still has some red in it too, but mostly dark brown.
I want ADJ to come to my house, but it has nothing to do with home decoration.
Mmm-hmmm.
You are so money and you don't even know it.
Oh god, don't get me started.
I am surprisingly sad about the Brad/Jen split. But I predict that within a year and a half he is with someone new who is pregnant with his baby.
Also, if anyone wants to see my neighborhood, the diner on my corner is going to be on TLC at 5. FYI.
