A very local type, unfortunately I can't be more specific without PLing. It's one of those soft white cheeses.
He wouldn't do that to me, he loves me and spoils me rotten. It's homemade jam and I managed to get it open by smacking the lid real hard.
Moid, but what I usually do is get a piece of clean cloth, lay it on top of the jar lid, and use that as a grip to open a jar that may be too tight
Understood! Is it like Camambert where it's best when it's room temperature and runs?
Homemade jam is definitely worth the effort; my friend's wife gave me a jar of homemade apricot jam with a hint of jalepeño, and I would be upset if I couldn't open it. My most humble apologies for even humoring the idea of denying you access to it.
It doesn't change texture at room temperature much. It's soft and creamy whether it's cold or warm, and only melts when hot. It's pretty good melted on top of toast.
That sounds absolutely killer. I've never made homemade jam myself, but imagining that flavor profile makes me want to.
What did they do
You gotta get yourself one of these babies:
Did she ask you for a stool sample??
What if you had both jam and cheese on the same piece of toast? Cheese's saltiness usually compliments fruit's sweetness (especially fig spread or apple slices.)
Probably.
I dislike how makeup feels on my skin, and I find lipstick dries my lips out (yes all of it, I feel like I have tried them all…) and yes you can taste it. I have no idea how my fellow ladies manage to keep makeup looking nice. I’m rubbish at it.
Put rubber gloves on. Open jar
You know how when you grab an electric screwdriver you turn it on for a second and observe it? To see if it is working well or it is a shitty defective one?
Allow me to share my secret nerdy moid tech.
It's fine and no, because my lips are on the outside of my mouth. Ymmv.
Usually just twist it with my hand.
We also sometimes find a defective electric screwdriver, get it at a massive discount, fix it, then brag to the boys about what a sick deal we got and how cool we are for fixing it. (Okay I haven't done that with a screwdriver but I've literally done this with mechanical keyboards before)
I came up with the same technique to open these big jars of citron tea that were oddly difficult. I usually just use spoons with flat handles that can wedge under the lid well enough. I'm able to hold onto the spoon with one hand while I turn with the other. Funnily enough, I haven't even needed the technique for recent jars. They open just fine now, so maybe they were just sealed too tight or something
I would usually have to do this with home made jars from mum and grandma. I assume nowadays store bought stuff is mathemagically calculated to be openable by anyone.
This is a great idea. My husband has a bunch of those things that are for prying apart electronics without damaging them. I'll definitely try using one of them next time.
Found a simple video demonstrating the technique too:
I wouldn't twist the knive. Just lift it and use it like a lever. Much easier and saver. No need for much force either.
Dang, maybe we do need an ask moids for advice thread. Thanks!
