Being a rural hick doesn't make you southern. It's only been the last 20-30 years that Midwest small towns have been trying to preteend that they are southern rednecks.

Theu don't actually meet at a point, but suburbs in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut all feed into and support New York City. We do have a couple of "bi-state" areas like St. Louis, Kansas City, and Cincinnati. It's the result of our cities rising into prominence after political boundaries were drawn up, whereas most major European cities had the modern political boundaries drawn up around them.
The only cotoes that i would really describe as "tri-state" are NYC, Washington (since the District of Columbia is a seperate entity than Maryland and Virginia) Philadelphia, and Chicago. Philadelphia is the only one of these where the 3 states actually meet at a single point though.
No online version of the painting can do it justice. The original at the rijksmuseum is absolutely massive with endless detail.
People always sleepvon the Midwest, but we go hard out here man.
Trump blew a pandemic response so badly that morgues were overflowing, so he was punished by voters accordingly. Meanwhile the Dems had a lackluster response to massive inflation so those same voters punished them accordingly. Had Biden gone after price gouging companies, housing speculators, ans pharmaceutical companies, he would have had massive success.
Then why is it the United States of Mexico? Calling them and Canadians just reeks of Manifest Destiny bullshit.
That's what people said in 2016. Democrats keep running the same centrist bullshit and getting wrecked because of it. It matters so that the party can make actual changes.
You can tell by the way it lifts it's skinny fists like antennas to heaven that it's Godspeedyou nigrumperatorem
People don't care about shit like that. They want to know what you are gonna do to make their lives better.
Because the DNC sceapped those proposals for more neoliberal bullshit that every one hates. People are vocal about what they care about. If people tell me they want steak and i keep giving them tacos, they are going to leave the restaurant and get pizza from the sketchy local joint next door instead.
Been meaning to make a baklava for a few months, and figured this was the perfect time to do it! The phyllo dough took me a bit to figure out, but once i realized you just need to starch the shit out if it while rolling and just keep stacking it, it worked out great! My bottom layer is fucked, the middle one a little thick, but the top layer was absolutely magical
Been super busy recently and have fallen behind on my baking so i decided to do a two-for-one and make zebra cakes! I even made the cake mix from scrath with gliten free flour so my friend with Celiacs could try one!

Week 11: AI or random- "Piped" cocoa butter cookies from Sally's Baking Addiction. Failed
(midwest.social)
I have never used any LLM's, and didn't fee like starting, so i went with a random recipe from my go to baking site. Unfortunately the batter ended up WAY too stiff and nothing i did allowed me to pipe these suckers out, so they just sorta ended up as regualr cookies, but delicious none the less.
I do think piping would have made them better though. The center of the cookies wasn't nearly as good as the crispy outsides, and piping them would have really increased the surface area.
I'm American, but my mom is a Geordie. We always visited my aunt when we went to England and i thought her living right next to a castle was the coolest thing ever.
Sorry i am way late on this one. I asked my uncle in Japan (he's American, just a 65 weeb currently backpacking through Japan with my aunt for their retirement) for advice on something to make. He was currently in Hiroshima and told me to try making this local street food. Unfortunately i didn't realize how hard it would be to get some of these ingredients in rural Ohio, but i finally got everything for this recipe. luckily there is an amazing little Asian grocery store in Findlay that hooked me up with everything i needed and i am incredibly happy with how they turned out!
These rich truffles have a little bit of brandy as well as sour cream to create a luxurious and rich chocolate treat!
While i was born and raised in the American Midwest, my mom is from North Shields so i grew up eating loads of English foods, amd Yorkshire pudding was always my favorite.
My bagels turned out not so great for cream cheese, as you really need to make the hole in the middle massive, but they were excellent for homemade pizza bagels! Made a great lunch for my and my neighbors's kids!
I'm happy to colonize the intestines of anyone who needs it. Just let me know
