Why is my freezer doing this? Or rather, how do I make it stop?

If rhe door isn’t sealing properly, humidity from the air will crystallize on items in the freezer. Check the seal, clean the seal and see if that helps. I have also taped my freezer closed before (too full to close properly consistently)

Oh yeah that’s what ours looks like when it’s been left open accidentally. I get yelled at about this a lot

ETA for fixing it the only way I can think of is to defrost it and restart. But that would be a huge pain and have your fridge and freezer out of commission for a time.

I was afraid that was the answer. :confused:

I’d just scrape off the snow and make sure the freezer drawer is fully closed!

If I open a cd at my bank does the person get a commission on it? I think my savings account would make me the same amount of interest as a cd right now so I’m wondering if there’s any point in renewing when it comes due.

I don’t think bankers get any bonus on those sorts of products. Folks in the “financial management” group of the bank might get bonus or commissions. CDs are a pretty straightforward product, so no real expertise.

The patterns I want are 15-25 but I do not sew therefore do not buy

I’ve never bought a sewing pattern in my life so I didn’t want to mess up your numbers. I’ll say that €20 sounds totally reasonable to me, a non-sewer.

$1 per page IMO

I generally pay about $15 for a PDF pattern. Any more than that and I wait for a sale.

And many clothing patterns have multiple variations included so I count on being able to make multiple pieces of clothing.

Sewing pattern prices seem all over the place these days. Some places have increased a lot and some are clearly still in 2010s pricing mode lol.

I’ve bought bag patterns from Twig and Tale and Noodlehead before, as a point of comparison. Anything under 25 euros is likely fine, but I tend towards 20 and under for designers without many review.

Lesson learned: OMDers do love buttons :sweat_smile:

But also there are a lot of people who just sew bags, often to sell, so bag pattern pricing may have its own thing different from clothing pattern pricing!

This.

And we’re not going to talk about how insanely cheap knitting patterns are, which are the only ones I have bought.

Lemon cucumber! I’m pretty sure. Like @Smacky found in Iceland.
Very seedy but yummy with a little olive oil, lemon juice, salt.

Ohh, that seems more likely based on the origin and would explain why it wasn’t on the pick list separately from “cucumbers!”
