The soap I got for the kitchen sink says it’s lemon scented. It is not. Definitely in the citrus family, maybe grapefruit (which I do not like) but not lemon.

Good grief.
Registered Agents Northwest exhibits some of the worst anti-patterns I have ever seen. Like, Olympic medal level bad.
The kind you wish you’d done a screen recording through the entire interaction because otherwise the level of gaslight for things they auto-sign you back! up for during registration would make your head spin. (Did I mention disabled cancel buttons? Oh, they’ve got those too.)
I wish there were better options out there, but what’s done is done.

The Costco spindrift box now includes lemon, lime, and blood orange. BLOOD ORANGE?? Give me my grapefruit back!! It’s the best one!! Well, one less thing I’ll be buying at Costco…

I pulled “turkey pot pie filling” from11/2025 from the freezer, with a pie blank. Sautéed onion, carrot, celery, and peas. Added those to the pot pie filling. Read the instructions for the pie blank; which were vague. Guessed I was doing it right? Topped the pie with instant mashed as the only stove top I have right now was sautéing the extra veg…
The crust was almost raw on the bottom. The potatoes were browned on top. The crust edges were yummy and brown, but the bottom was NOT.
The filling was hot when I put it in. The oven was 350 I turned it up to 400 when I realized I’d misread things. But I kept it in a good long while longer than I originally intended.
I do NOT know wtf it is about pie crust… pie curst!

I only do a top crust for pot pie - which I love - because the bottom crust is never that good.

The bane of my existence for pot pies…in pies are about the only time I’ll eat them cooked at all, but if I cook them in there the whole time they get unnecessarily mushy, and adding them towards the end means trying to poke them through the openings in the top crust which works about as well as you’d think.
Possibly I’m just weird about peas.

Pre bake pie crust with pie weight inside? Then add filling and toppings?

I do a similar thing, just use a pan capable of going in the oven for the pot pie filling, put crescent roll dough over top as best I can get the triangles to fit, then bake that. No side or bottom crust to bother with because they never seemed to come out good.

I’ve been really enjoying mynoise.net, specifically, their TRUE grey noise generator.
If sleep noise aides are your thing, what’s cool about it is it is customizable to the n’th degree. Puts any other noise generator on the market to shame in my opinion.
Play with the sliders, the presets, there is a sound there for you - I tune my sound profile to our forced-air-heating frequency so it doesn’t wake me up every 30 minutes in the winter. When you find one you like you can export the link and share across devices, or save the setting locally in your browser via the save settings.
It’s free, or donation based for lifetime use if you want to access the entire library.

The higher ups at my company made a huge deal of sending this very flowery thank you message to every employee in my department on Friday for all of our hard work last year under impossible conditions. There were individual messages from 3 different higher ups, including our global manager and company president. In the message they were excited to announce that we will each be receiving a very special gift sent to our houses as a huge token of thanks…
Anyone care to guess what this special gift is? (Hint: it’s not the only thing anyone would want, which is money)
