How to say “flaky”

So I was just stood up by someone I’ve been kind of seeing. Not the end of the world, but also pretty disrespectful on his part.

i would like to know how to express different flavors of “he’s kind of flaky” in Mexican Spanish. Like, to his friends, acknowledging that we realize that he’s not reliable, but also to my friends, expressing that he’s basically worthless/has totally disrespected me.

Are there different ways of putting this idea across with those nuances?

Thank you to the r/Spanish community for your guidance in how to vent my annoyance at all of the right levels.

Pregunta de technica

Gente,

For the people who somehow manage to get crema to form those perfect little back and forth lines, as if you used a squeeze bottle:

How do I get this effect at home?

Should I actually use a squeeze bottle, or is there another way to get this effect?

I think we might have a spare squeeze bottle in the cupboard, but I can’t afford to buy anything new. Plastic bags are in the budget.

Do I need to thin the crema, whip it, or something else?

This has been bothering me for weeks. Ayuda!

Gift link: NYT story about bilingualism research

The study subjects were bilingual speakers of English and Spanish. So, directly relevant to us (Spanish speakers) and doubly so for those of us who are also English speakers!

Magic love salsa

I followed this recipe: https://www.reddit.com/r/SalsaSnobs/s/0yp6yfwEWV

With a few modifications:

(1) less spicy: used 6 chiles de árbol and 1 chile guajillo — it’s definitely still spicy

(2) added a bit of onion, since all my other salsa recipes include onion

(3) added some chicken bouillon powder

The result: really good! I’m definitely going to add this to my weekly salsa prep.

Thank you again for sharing this u/na519!
