This is a photo of a watch vs warning comparison using crab cakes because Maryland. On the left of Watch, there are the ingredients for a MD style crab cakes and I hope y'all learn something from this. Little bit of mustard, mayo, SOME egg, parsley, A LOT of lump crab, lemon, old bay for sure, and some butter for pan frying. Please season y'all's crab cakes. Don't embarrass me. On the right is a Warning with a fully cooked set of crab cakes with a lemon wedge and parsley on the side. This crab cake is still wrong though because it looks like it has a lot of filling and very little crab. Don't be like them. You should see crab throughout and mostly only crab. The white background has the Maryland state flag.

The canning jar has a canning funnel with measurements from 1/4"-3/4". 1" of headspace was used and she fills the jars, wipes the rim with a vinegar soaked paper towel, puts on a fresh lid and ring, twists to fingertip tight and then uses canning tongs to put the jar in the pressure canner with other jars that are full and some are still empty. The video then shows the jars in the pressure canner and the stock I'm another pot.

For most customers, these credits will be modest, but for qualifying households struggling with past due balances, the assistance could provide significant relief.

Screenshot of threads post by erinleeauthor to indieauthors saying, "I killed a dog in my book & said there's no afterlife. Then I watched a writing video that said pets can have big roles in books so be careful. & A beta reader asked me if a dog dies & said she checks a site with a list of books to avoid. Then a saying app guy said my afterlife rule was a "hard pass" & dipped. Damn, people. Dog culture is dire. They're a great pet, but still acting like they have little moons orbiting then. Your behavior is raising our vet bills. They're not a child. Chill."
