@thegiddystitcher @sortofblue I don't want to gang up on you but I also think sticking needles in tofu is the best use of it 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

@kristenrapp @sortofblue Look I don't want to be That Person, but you both need to try this asap https://www.rabbitandwolves.com/crispy-hawaiian-garlic-tofu-vegan/

Don't apologise, I'm That Person in a whole host of subjects, lol. As good as that recipe looks (the photos are fantastic), I'd probably try it with chicken breast instead, only I don't know what agave syrup is or if I could find it in a kiwi supermarket.

Godspeed little one. I have broken one needle so far myself it was one that came with my shitty first set from Amazon with not dmc thread.

Not sure how that happened but may it rest in floss, and let it find the softest fabrics in the needle afterlife.

Honestly I wasn't even abusing it (for once), I think it was just done with existence 😅
