Seicher Rae Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) I really, really, really could not care less, have less effs to give, or have less rat's asses to give who blocks me. Not who. Not how. Not when. Not why. I assume that if someone close to me blocked me I would care, and that would be a different thing entirely. I've said this before. I've also said that I don't block people. That's my personal choice. I choose to not block because scrolling works, I'd rather know what idiots are saying, and I think the drama of announcing is silly and trolly and just makes everyone in the community uncomfortable, so it is also selfish. ymmv ETA: In truth, I'm too self-absorbed to notice when people block me. I think I'm adorable, so I don't go looking for haters. And I'm oblivious from post to post who is liking what, when. It's a gift.

At the very least there should be butter and jam oozing from the middle. Two words. Hide contents blackberry preserves and real unsalted butter My preference is strawberry jam or preserves, but blackberry will do in a pinch. And definitely unsalted butter - not salted, and not any of that margarine crap 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Macbain Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Here’s a peeve - orange marmalade. It should be delicious but they put bits of the orange peel in it and it ruins it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the "can't help but watch the trainwreck" kind of way because you never know how people are going to react. It's the ones that don't react that I don't put on ignore. And before anyone gets the wrong idea, no I have never done this to anyone. Putting someone on ignore is a sign someone needs to stop pushing my buttons before things get really unpleasant. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like bitter at times. Tart. Yeah... can be good. Orange marmalade? The first time I had it I was a kid. Like you said, orange "jelly" should be delicious. I took a bite of it on yummy buttered toast and... made a face, spit it out, and cried. I still do that, or would if I ate it. Nasty stuff. I even like orange zest. But no. Marmalade they put the bitter peel in and not only does it taste awful, it has a gross texture. Verdict: Orange marmalade is an abomination and is at the height of a peeve list, at least a food peeve list. It is like the ultimate "psyche!" joke. ETA: There's a reason you don't eat an orange like an apple, folks! Concept... nasty nasty Edited May 13, 2020 by Seicher Rae 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely! Too much of the marmelade that we get in the USA is overly sweetened and is little more than orange jelly with little bits of peel floating around in it. A good marmalade has finely sliced peel and has been cooked down enough to be a warm brownish orange. Tangy and delicious. It's great stuff on a scone or on toast. 17 minutes ago, Orwar said: Like candied orange peel! Now you're talking. My mom used to make the best candied citrus peel ... oranges, grapefruits, lemons ... and surprise us with it when we were having a slow, blah day. My son has learned how to make it well now, so he's raising his daughters properly. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano Seale Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Anyhow, back on topic....my latest peeve: Americans (and their allies) who take up 3 pages of a thread babbling about bloody food when it's 4am and all I have in is a small packet of dried noodles! Bollox, goin' to bed! 😡 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimmi Zehetbauer Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 One peeve I'm encountering more --- websites that are skinny and not easy trying to read them.

How spots the oxymoron. Forum peeve when somebody post a job advertisement and the replay is something like this "ohh ye I'm interested doing this. YOU should look me up in world." Like no sweetie YOU want to work YOU should do it. Imagine in rl doing this with a future employer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
