@middleclasstool I use them for cut citrus and for covering things that don't need to be airtight, e.g. soaking beans. They do lose their waxiness, & you can get bars to re-coat them. (There's resin mixed in to keep them flexible.) I haven't re-waxed mine yet.

I've tried them for bread & cheese--they worked great when brand new, less so after just a few uses.

I store them folded in (ironically) a ziploc bag. You can also roll them up one on top of the other, so you just pull one off the roll.

In which I discuss the properties of several salts - and provide a recipe for delicious caramels (which you can dip in chocolate & pretend are Fantales).

Fleur de Sel Salted Caramels: Because life's too short not to

Oh, the joy of salt! We grind up rocks and sprinkle them over food daily — and we love it. Megan Jane de Paulo's Fleur de Sel Salted Caramels are the perfect excuse to add a little more.

@scully Hey, look! It's two of my favourite faces! *waves excitedly*
This is a good time to buy all the T Kingfisher books you do not already have. (Insurance just means you don't have the FULL cost, not that the copays are affordable) #SFF #Bookstodon https://twitter.com/UrsulaV/status/1669789721776513024

“So…uh…the biopsy news wasn’t great. The big painful lump is malignant. I go in next week to meet with the surgeon and we find out stuff like “what stage” and “lumpectomy vs mastectomy” and stuff. It’s weird, but as much as I was panicked, I don’t think I really expected it.”

@flisswave Oh, no. I'm sorry. Boooooo to those assholes.
@coriolisdave @middleclasstool I swear to god y'all's friendship is one of my favourite things about this place.

@paparatti Yay, a fellow Ackroyd fan! His 'Milton in America' explained *so much* about the American psyche to me.

Also: I really really need to read 'Queer City'.

@middleclasstool Good to know. In that case, I've got some frozen cayenne peppers from last year's balcony gardening experiment that I may add.
@celsius1414 Hellooooooo! So glad to have found you here.
