Just remember, these are elected officials and our tax dollars are being used for this.
This is what its like serving people. People want straight answers to questions they fundamentally don’t understand. They don’t even understand the language you use. There is a very definite answer to what ‘wifi’ is, but a lot of oldies have their own understanding which is seperate from fact, but they believe to be fact. So when you try to explain it to them it gets to a point where they not only don’t understand it, but they don’t want to understand it.
These people here, its not that they don’t understand the tech at hand. Its that they simply don’t want to. And so they never will.
The hardest student to teach is the one who does not want to learn.
Children could actually have the mental capacity to shut up and listen to the answers they’re being given. Most kids ask follow up questions if they don’t fully understand a given answer. These people just angrily repeat ‘yes or no’ until they hear what they want to hear. It’s scary how people who have no idea how this works are in charge (even more so because they could… Google these questions and get answers that way…).
I found this picture of Daniel Logan who played young Bobba Fett in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, and the Clone Wars television show. Daniel is garbed in the full Fett suit and reenacting his final scene from Attack of the Clones
I hate fondant. It is tacky inedible despair enveloping what is intended to be luscious joy.
Problems: I want to learn to make cool, pretty things with fondant.
Fuck fondant, it’s gross.
Solution: marshmallow fondant. It’s easier to make than regular fondant and it doesn’t taste like dirt.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this!? Research must be made!
I have heard of it but never had tried it, I sincerely hope it is as edible as some people say. In general however I have noticed most bakers do NOT know of this and just stick with the normal fondant that is inedible.
I’ve made it from scratch- it’s super easy! You only need four things: a 16 ounce bag of mini marshmallows, a two-pound bag of powdered sugar, a little water, and some solid vegetable starch (to grease your hands with because this stuff is STICKY).
The steps are pretty simple. First, melt your marshmallows, but do it gradually so you don’t get caramelized lumps. Zap your marshmallows and a little water, about two tablespoons, for 30 seconds on high; stir until mixed well. Continue microwaving 30 seconds more; stir again. Continue until melted (about 2 ½ minutes).
Next, put 3/4 of the confectioners’ sugar on top of the melted marshmallow mixture. Fold sugar into marshmallow mixture. Flavoring can be added at this point if desired.
Then, get out your Crisco and put it in a bowl so you can reach into it while you’re working because otherwise you will glue your hands together. Grease hands and counter GENEROUSLY, just slather it on. Dump out your mixture and start kneading it like dough.
Gradually add the rest of your sugar and keep kneading until it forms a nice ball. If it starts to get dry or tears easily, add ½ tablespoon of water at a time. It should only take about ten minutes, maybe less.
To store extra fondant, slather vegetable shortening on some plastic wrap and wrap it up tight, and then put that in a bag.
This was what I made with it. It was my first attempt at ever using fondant and I was pretty happy with it. I fed this to about ten people and NOBODY picked the fondant off, including my friend Rachael who is an avowed fondant-hater.
Here’s what pros can make with it- it holds its shape and takes color very well.
Can we flavor it though?
Yes! You just stir in a little of whatever you want it to taste like right after you melt your marshmallows. Hazelnut would probably be really delicious. Or orange!
i was the exact opposite bc I grew up in an old old house that always needed work and when I moved into my first apartment the landlord told me the bathroom still needed caulked and I didnt understand that meant she was sending someone to DO that so I caulked the entire bathroom and when the guy got there he went “did you……..Do This” and I was like “yes, and why, and who are you”
This is great he must have been so unnerved
The hardest thing to believe about this is that the landlord followed through and sent someone to do it
