@underorange replied to your post “I HAVE A JOB! WOOO!!!”

Yay congrats!!

Thank you! Everything is still super stressful right now and will continue to be until we’re actually moved, but it’s a huge load off my back.

so this is only tangentially related to pie but do you know the difference between caramel sauce and butterscotch? bc my whole family loves caramel but hates butterscotch and i have failed entirely to find out what actually makes it different (other than the taste, of course)

haha I can taste the difference but it never occurred to me to figure out WHY they’re different? I’ve found more than one source that claim the difference is:

CARAMEL: white sugar, butter, cream if you’re making sauce, vanilla BUTTERSCOTCH: brown sugar, butter, cream if you’re making sauce, vanilla and salt probably. I guess it’s easier because you don’t have to melt and caramelize the white sugar which is where all the mistakes happen lol

Oh plus from what I can tell with caramel the butter is added last, and with butterscotch the butter is put in first.

i sometimes wonder just how palpable your aura of misanthropy really is.

I don’t think it’s too palpable daily, but you come up to me and go “you should smile” as I’m walking, you’re going to get the full blast of my misanthropy.

they do that a lot when i worked customer service. it's like they think we're incapable of politeness so if someone is polite they must agree with their gross bigoted views? idk.

I think it’s the same with men and sexism because a dude only has to talk to me for like 10 minutes before he feels comfortable being like “ugh, FEMINISTS, right?? I’m not sexist, though. YOU’RE cool.”

HUH, that's nuts. I normally love brown sugar in basically everything I would not have guessed that's the difference. I feel a very unwise set of candy experiments coming on.

oOH HAVE FUN and remember that even if the melted sugar looks like it’s hardened onto your pan FOREVER it actually will soak right off :D

i once had a place call me a month and a half after an interview to offer a job. don't email them, hang in there, i'm rooting for you!

Yeah, but unfortunately, I don’t have that long to wait. We’re moving mid-August, no matter what, but we also don’t even have an apartment yet because I don’t have a job yet so we’re having trouble getting approved.

Also I don’t think my nerves could take that.
