    BTW I meant to give an update on this. Just fyi but if you're going to make it, please try to get Japanese mochiko, rather than some other glutinous rice flour. Mochiko comes in a box that looks like this: [image: 91BjswUh9oL._MCnd_AC_SR462,462_.jpg] Mr SK made it with a different kind of glutinous rice flour this time, and he decided that it's better with actual mochiko.

    They do tumble off of bagels, but I still love them. Poppy seeds are very common in Lithuanian dessert cuisine. Besides a poppy seed roll, we have a traditional Christmas Eve dish consisting of small leavened biscuits that have some poppy seeds. The biscuits are served soaked in a poppy seed milk. One of my favorite holiday foods. Christmas Eve isn't complete without it!

    That was my first thought but I double checked and RFK Jr did post an apology on X. From everything I can discern, it really is his account. https://x.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1813198830281593269 A lot of other sources confirmed this and it's a day or two later and there has been no change regarding the story, so I'm certain the audio is authentic. I agree the deepfake problem is very real.

    oh yeah, it looks like this except maybe with a little more of the top dough folded over but the fruit visible, as here: [image: BF5D3927-B0A0-487E-ADCD-2CC9F6DF4948.jpeg]

    @Big_Al said in No hard feelings: its premise that those who didn't succeed had only themselves to blame didn't jibe with my own experiences. He failed to acknowledge how outside parties contributed to his own rise. He also fails to acknowledge problems that contribute to the hardships experienced by others. I agree, his candidacy is quite alarming.

    @wtg said in Lay's crisps (potato chips to us): Never heard of Ketchup chips. Checked them out and it seems they really are a Canadian thing... https://www.therecipe.com/the-delicious-history-of-ketchup-chips/ From the comments: I knew something wasn’t right with our southern neighbours when I found out they didn’t have ketchup chips. Yep! And your article talks about Hostess chips which people STILL talk about. There is even a retro clothing company that has made shirts with the Hostess Munchies on them. Their Salt and Vinegar chips were by far the saltiest and vinegariest of all the brands. Lays just isn’t the same - but I’m glad they kept the Ketchup flavour!

    I did not see a problem as long as they install them next to NARCAN vending machines.
