I have medium thick wavy hair and I love the Revlon hair dryer. I do you use living proof heat protectant spray with it every time and I only wash and dry my hair every other day.

I agree. One of these days I will try it again and try to jazz it up. I feel like the recipe has good bones but isn’t quite there

I do think it’s user error for those who think it’s bland. Almost all recipes are lowest common denominator as written. I never follow any recipe to the letter — I just assume the “[spice] to taste” is implied. Anything calling for garlic should be at least doubled.

You can't measure garlic - you have to add the amount that you feel in your soul.

Never rec'd that recipe here but often make and love it. I'm from Turkey and think it's spot on.

I’m going to go with all of it.

I'm objectively a good cook and have won cooking competitions, so I don't think it was user error five different times. That was such a bummer.

Including my deconstructed ramen platter?

Ha - I didn't try that! I have been making the sheet pan chow mein from Smitten Kitchen on repeat, which sounds similar. It's fantastic, but we use totally different vegetables.

In fairness, there are no good rest stops on the way to Ithaca.

If the revlon styler isn’t working for you, it might be how you are using it.
