Violin tutors12/31/2023 ![]() Yes, I despise this culture and it seems to be ubiquitous in all the DMV affluent areas. I really dislike/reject the pervasive idea that if my teen isn't decked out head to toe in Lululemon with regular hair highlights and a $50/week Starbucks habit that there is some wrong/lacking in our family. Those are the types of values I want to inculcate in my children. "Middle class striver" values are hard work, the importance of education and knowledge, and earning a good living. I only care if the kids are decent kids.Īnonymous wrote:I think it's fine. I honestly don’t know what cars our friends drive. They are everywhere- Arlington, McLean, Vienna, Bethesda, Potomac, Chevy Chase and I guess also Ashburn. There are definitely some people who try to keep up with the Joneses or keep up appearances. Saying the medical HHI in Loudoun is over $100k doesn’t mean every (or even most) families in Loudoun are UMC. My kids high school has 40% of students on free and reduced lunch. I’m that poster and Loudoun County is not a monolith. The point is that the person saying they moved to Loudon County and are then shocked that they're surrounded by strivers missed the memo that that's exactly the kind of person who lives in Loudon County. Ok? What's your point? I understand statistics, thanks. They are just terrible with money and value superficial things. Most of the families doing all this striving are barely breaking $300k. I’m not going to bother explaining statistics to you, but highest median household income does not equal net worth or even mean/average household income. So not only do you live in the middle of nowhere, but you have crappy schools and you didn't remotely escape that striver mindset. I'm pretty sure Loudon county is the richest county in Virginia, or actually the entire country. A friend of mine recently told me she no longer wants to host at her home because she is embarrassed that her kitchen is old and not remodeled. You would have to be blind or oblivious not to notice. Tons of fancy 60-70k SUVs (the latest trend seems to be a fully loaded Tahoe), $100k kitchens, second homes, new cars for teenagers, expensive name brand clothing and shoes (most teens are wearing a sneaker that costs $150+) etc. Some people cannot stand when others have something better than they do and must immediately remedy the situation. My husband and I call it the "arms race" and its definitely contagious. While this did maybe result in less academic competition (in numbers of kids, the competitive kids are still competitive), there is still tremendous financial competition. Our MS/HS hover around a 4 on Great Schools. We moved out to Loudoun County, to a diverse area with middling public schools. ![]() Not OP, but again, I completely reject this. You can choose to live in a super competitive school district or go to an expensive private school, or you can live in a less expensive area with decent mid tier public schools, even in the DC area. Anonymous wrote:There are plenty of places in the DC area which are middle class and not competitive UMC environments OP.

Take five bar12/30/2023 ![]() Initial taste testing conducted by the brand confirmed the bar tastes the same as the four-finger one, with the main difference being it takes consumers longer to eat. The new five-finger bar is due to hit shelves everywhere later this month. I’m proud of what a great product the team has created and I’m keen to hear what chocolate fans make of the new design,” added James Crisp, Chief Waferologist, KitKat. “I’m ready to take five after this intense development period that has seen us deliver the new KitKat five-finger bar. I’d like to give a big high five to the development team behind this revolutionary idea and would encourage everyone to take five out of their day to try the new bar.” “We like to call the fifth finger in our KitKat Thumb, and we have to hand it to ourselves, we think we’ve scored a winner here. As fans of the brand know, our bar comes in 2 and 4-finger varieties, so we thought, why not make a full fist of it?” explained Katherine Barr, Head of Innovative Twists, KitKat. “This twist on our classic KitKat has been years in the making, so we are thrilled to finally share our prized five-fingered KitKat. To honour this occasion and show commitment to the new shape, the brand has said, it is changing its new tagline from ‘Have a Break, have a KitKat’ to ‘Take five! Take a KitKat’, “signalling the dawn of a new, thumb-filled era”. Nonfat Milk, Cream, Caramel Sauce, Chocolate Covered Pretzels, Cane Sugar, Peanut Butter (Roasted Peanuts, Sugar, Peanut Oil, Salt), Chocolate Flakes (Sugar, Unsweetened Chocolate, Cocoa Butter, Dextrose, Soy Lecithin, Natural Vanilla Extract), Tapioca Syrup, Honey, Sea Salt.Nestlé brand KitKat has unveiled a new look as a five-finger bar, putting a contemporary spin on the original bar which comprised of four fingers. ![]() This jazzy ensemble of sweet, salty, and gooey had us dancing in our test kitchen! It’s so good, in fact, that when Whole Foods asked us to make a flavor just for them, I knew it had to be this one. Plus one not-so-secret ingredient - honey - which gives our peanut butter ice cream a dreamy, nougat-y texture and flavor. Four ingredients to rule them all: Peanut butter, caramel, chocolate, pretzels. Back BlurbĪn ode to my all-time favorite candy bar. ![]() Peanut butter, caramel, chocolate, and pretzels in perfect harmony. Visit Whole Foods to grab a pint before it disappears. Jeni’s promised us a High Five candy bar in a pint-and delivered. Overall: It’s a decadent combination of salty and sweet that rockets over the top with its generous mix-ins. It was the right balance of these mix-ins against each other because any more chocolate might tend to overwhelm the other flavors. The pint has more pretzels than chocolate chunks, but the distribution worked for me. A darker chocolate, adding some texture and crunch. The caramel really kicks the sweetness of this pint up a notch, and while I could imagine some might find it lends too much sweetness, for me it was the perfect amount of caramel.Ĭhocolate: Moderately sized chocolate chunks. There’s only a modest amount of it throughout the pint, but it’s potent enough, and there are so many other mix-ins, that I don’t think I would want more caramel. It’s the rich, thick caramel you might find in a High Five bar. It’s a great contrast in this pint: the salty pretzels against all the sweets-peanut butter, caramel, chocolate.Ĭaramel: The caramel swirl is obvious from the moment you open the pint-as you can see from the picture. Larger pretzels were still crispy inside, but a few smaller, broken pieces were a bit soggy-adding some variety of texture. The milk chocolate coating on the pretzels will melt in your mouth. Pretzel: Pretzel pieces everywhere, in every spoonful, some half an inch long. The pint’s back blurb says that honey is the secret ingredient in this base-and perhaps that sweetness helps moderate the peanut flavor. The taste is sweet on the front with a peanut butter finish. Peanut butter base: A rich, creamy, sweet peanut butter base with the aroma of a candy bar.
