Hi, I'm trying to replicate these whole candied peanuts I had on a sundae (Uncle Boone's Sundae @Thai Diner in NYC). They are SUPER crunchy and have a deeply roasted flavor.

I tracked down an adapted recipe from the chef, but I believe the directions are leaving out some crucial steps-- I'll cut and paste at the bottom-- basically boil peanuts in sugar syrup for 5 minutes, drain, roll in sugar, deep fry until brown.

I used raw red skin peanuts and they were delicious(!!!), but the coating was thinner and more crystallized than the smooth crunchy shell of the original. Does anyone have any advice before I try again?

Thanks for any insight!

Candied Peanuts
1 cup sugar
1.5 cups water
1 cup peanuts
Neutral oil for frying
Bring the above three ingredients to a boil. Let simmer five minutes. Drain and immediately toss with more sugar to coat well. Remove excess sugar and drop in fryer until dark golden. Upon removal from fryer sprinkle with more sugar and salt to taste.

You can also easily omit the peanuts, and this sundae will still be deliciousnbn.

Hi,

I'm feeling completely overwhelmed trying to buy bras. I need a strapless bra and I would love to find something under $100.00.

I did a deep dive in the last 24 hours on breast shapes, and I'm so confused. I know that I have slightly hard to fit boobs because the last time I got fit (at Orchard Corset in NYC, love that place), the bra fitter was trying all sorts of weird things-- anyhoo this is what I know:

ABTF calculator: 34E/F

Loose under: 34

Snug under: 32

Standing: 38

Bending: 41

Lying: 40

wide set

wide roots

full on bottom

pendulous

RELAXED tissue

possibly shallow??? I'm really not sure, I always had fairly low breasts and a wide/tall sternum but maybe the breast tissue starts higher up.

I do not own a reference bra that fits well at the moment because I'm still trying to find one after weight loss.

I thought I wanted narrower underwires because I like how they bring my breasts in to the center and push them forward and I was super into Ewa Michalak BM balconette and SF Smooth that I bought a couple years ago prior to loosing weight-- however, now I'm like maybe I need a wider (but not taller, hate those pokey underwires) underwire with a ton of side support OH GOD I HAVE NO CLUE

Thank you if you read this far!
