I just had a disappointing cup of hot chocolate.

[(Anonymous)]

What foods/drinks didn't live up to your expectations?

Re: I just had a disappointing cup of hot chocolate.

Honestly, I find hot chocolate is one of those things that's always disappointing when its made at home. Somehow it just doesn't taste the same.

Oddly, I personally find pasta to be the complete opposite. I'm almost always disappointed in it when I go out to eat, but I love to make it at home.

Taste is a weird thing.

I like chai and I like chocolate. I did not like chocolate chai. Blegh.

I buy dip mixes at the christmas market I go to with my mom and sister and I make those for christmas and new year's since I don't cook but everyone seems to like these. this year I bought one called 'cool as a cucumber' for christmas and it tasted really cucumbery and fresh at the market but when I made it at home it just tasted like ranch, very boring. here's hoping the 'prime rib' one I got for new year's mixes better (I've had 'prime rib' before and it was a big hit but it wasn't from this company so idk)

Chocolate oatmeal cookies just taste like cardboard.

I also had a disappointing cup of hot chocolate. Not even a splash of Bailey's helped it.

Turkish delight. Those Narnia books had me convinced it was a take on pudding (tapioca, rice take your pick). My disappointment when I finally saw what it was. And when I finally tasted it too. I could see why people like it but it's not my type.

I always thought hot chocolate LOOKED delicious but it never lived up to expectations until I found out it's supposed to be made with cream and melted actual chocolate (not coco powder). Now I'm never disappointed in my own homemade hot chocolate.

I bought some Beyond chicken nuggets. I've liked other Beyond products so I thought I would like them too, but I really didn't. Part of it may be that I cooked them in the microwave. The package said you could but maybe I shouldn't have listened.

The chocolate that came in my advent calendar was really not good chocolate. Somehow it was so sweet it hurt my teeth and also the texture was off.

Any time I try to get macaroni and cheese at a restaurant I'm taking a gamble. It might be amazing but 4/5 it's bland to inedible.

I dislike that there often a confusion with hot chocolate and hot cocoa. And I think USA (?) english usage of this word is often to blame.
Hot chocolate is a drink made from chocolate and it's dark and heavy sweetness. Topped with spices it's a thing I love greatly.
And hot chocolate/hot cocoa is a milky drink with cocoa powder. I am ok with it if it has no sugar, can be nice, but I HATE it with sugar. A lot of places make it with a lot of sugar and cream to top and marshmallows too and call it hot chocolate. And I really don't like this sort of drink.

I bought some frozen fish sticks a couple weeks ago, for the first time in like a decade or more. They were on the cheap end but they weren't insanely cheap so I was definitely not expecting the "fish" to be like 60% mushy, flavorless, not-fish filler. The last time I had fish sticks the fish was fish. Sure, the breading was a little thick, and the fish was all mashed up to disguise the fact that it was probably the discard scraps from bougie fish fillets or whatever--but it was still fucking fish.

I love Chinese food and I love desserts but I'm 99% of the time very disappointed in Chinese desserts. The 1% is those almond cookies.

Post XMas/Pre NYE Hump

How's it hanging gang? I want to watch movies but I've been watching YouTube videos instead!

Re: Post XMas/Pre NYE Hump

[rosehiptea]

I wrote a bunch of fic for the Yuletide exchange and it was fun but now I feel kind of a letdown from all the excitement of finishing my stuff. I'm trying to write other stuff and that does help - I wrote a Wednesday fic I might put up in a couple of days.

Venting a bit, sorry

I've been working, which, eh. I broke my retainer partial when I accidentally sat on it, tickets I'd been saving up for increased from $320 to $520 not counting fees and taxes, and I'm on my period.

Plus one of my coworkers may be transferring; he's great at his job and nice and I worry his replacement may not be.

And one of my neighbors left a, idk, portable toilet? Weird cement thing? Outside my back gate so I dragged it down to outside their fence and they'd moved it back today; last time I moved it I got foul smelling sludge all over my feet and shoes.

I hate that people always leave their garbage and furniture they don't want to haul away outside my gate because I'm at the end of the alley. It's gross and sometimes it actually traps me unless I climb the fence to get out. No one wants your shit, assholes, I definitely don't. I used to leave an extra trash can out to throw that stuff into and people took it as permission to dump their excess garbage so I stopped doing it, but it didn't stop them leaving messes. Ugh.

Bleh. Hormones plus headache. Also been watching youtube vids all evening. Didn't have the brain capacity for a movie or tv episodes.

Not too bad. I’ve been hanging out with all the people I love this week, so it’s been nice. The only crummy thing that happened was my hairdresser cutting my hair a lot shorter than I wanted it and it looks terrible, but at least it’ll grow again. I just hope it grows fast.

work’s been slow because our mail room are away and I otherwise have nothing to do. on the upside I get paid to do nothing and I get to go home a full hour earlier than usual because it’s the pre-NY slump

I'm going to work and absolutely refusing to get stressed out about anything.

Outside of work I'm chilling and occasionally cleaning.

Re: Post XMas/Pre NYE Hump

Still not sure what I'll do on NYE because my parents, whom I live with, invited 13 people and ugh but all my friends abandoned me.

So apparently painkillers for my back do not work for my period pain. But I shouldn't combine them. And they barely work for my back to start with, but I am not comfortable upping dose just yet, not with my everything else. I am in a lot of pain right now. And of course I have work to do, that should have been sent to me two fucking days ago.

I'm sick of people being all surprised and worried when I don't reply to their emails or Facebook messages immediately. I'm on vacation, and it's my personal email address. And then they contact me by direct message like "I don't know if my email didn't go through or..." No, you entitled asswipe, I just assumed I was allowed to go at least a few hours without checking just to make sure nobody had suddenly decided to contact me for whatever reason, silly me!

Ugh, sounds shitty. I'm sorry, anon.
