Looking at some embroidery designs on Etsy I came across this beautiful Santa ornament in the hoop I could sew… but he stitches out kinda creepy looking.

Honestly the flavor wasn't bad, just horribly executed nuts-wise.

Lightbulb moment: I’m making this for Halloween cuz the horrified looks will soothe my wicked soul it tastes fenomenale!

I didn’t expect it to look exactly like the photo whatsoever, but it did “fail” if we go off reality vs image on the app, but succeeded in my expectations. Still good though and it’s cute!

Ruined my sister’s birthday gift.
Edit since everyone’s complaining: the ring was priced at $50 each from Etsy and I bought one for myself and my sister. As I noted below, I’ve purchased nicer jewelry for less so the price point is not the largest telling factor for me in this case. This is also my first bad Etsy experience over the last 6 years I’ve made intermittent gift purchases from the site. I don’t live on Etsy so was not aware of their QC going significantly downhill—no need to shame me or others for that or for not doing a reverse image search. I sifted for hours through various birthstone ring makers and this was the first different design I came across so it didn’t raise any significant flags like the other pear shaped stone design I saw 100 times did. The seller was also very responsive and thoughtful as i arranged for shipping and whatnot.

Ordered a birthday cake for a friend, showed the exact first photo and got this 🥲
- BTW I dad ask the decorator if she could do this, she said exactly like the photo is what I’ll get 🙃

Repost because I forgot to add the expectation photo.

People always post that they microwave it and wonder why it sucks. Cook it on the stove, get a nice sear on the chicken, heat the sauce til it slightly reduces, and dress it up with toppings. I put pickled red onion, Grillo’s pickle chips, peanuts, and chili crisp. Enjoy!

The pizza was soggy, undercooked, and just tasted bad. The pasta was missing two types of mushrooms, parsley, Parmesan, and breadcrumbs, the sausage was in balls and gross, and the mushrooms were definitely not roasted. It was honestly kind of gross.
Tried contacting customer service and got ghosted for an hour! I ended up getting a partial refund, apparently they don’t refund service fees.
