My family and I do an appetizer competition each year and this year the theme is “one bite” so the expectation is that the app can be eaten in just one single bite.

I’d like to go hard and win. I’m thinking it’d be fun to do a Willy wonka gum situation where you get every part of the meal all in one bite. I’m obviously at a lost how to achieve that though.

Last year I did a charcuterie piece of bread (like this pic) and got second place so trying to really ramp it up this year.

Id love any suggestions you have!

This is my bathroom. I’m currently painting the inside of the door pink with geese peaking in.

The little white door under the light switch is a laundry shoot. I want to add a little pizzazz but this room is already kinda a lot. I’d like the laundry door to be just a little sprinkle of whimsy.

I have medium artistic ability. Would love to hear any suggestions of what to add!

I’m making a toy potions box. It will be shipped. I want the box to be ready to use as soon as it’s open. What can I use to keep the bottles in their place?

I was originally thinking floral foam but that’s pretty expensive. Any other better/cheaper ideas? The goal is to open the box and have it LOOK like a potions box.

When canning, we made triple sure the jar was fully filled with juice as full as it could be with headspace*. When the jar is turned over, there is clearly room between the beet pieces.

We would like to enter this jar into the state fair this year. We entered a very similar jar into the fair last year but they refused to judge it due to unsafe canning practices.

If this is unsafe I’d be forever grateful if someone could recommend how to properly fill the jar.

*edit: confession - I actually am not the one who does the canning, I’m posting for my parents.

I misunderstood their explanation of the process, but when talking with them about this post they clarified that they made sure the jar was as full as possible WITH headspace. So they were intentional about making sure the juice was as full as it could be, while still including headspace before sealing the jar.

I have a bay window. I stripped the window platform because it had damage from a potted plant. It got too cold to refinish so it’s been sitting unfinished for a few months.

I’ve noticed black spots near the actual window appear. I believe it could be mold?

1. Is it mold?
2. Can I fix it?
3. How do I fix it?
