Happy New Year, guys.The Wild Man of YOLO posted:Pizzas came out pretty well! All of them came out edible and not burned to a crisp. Not circular by any means, but tasty. At least, I thought they were tasty; I think my family was expecting New York style, unaware that I was taking the first step on a journey towards the perfect Neapolitan pie. Ingrates These look tasty! If you want your edges not to come out so puffy, try spreading the sauce and the toppings out closer to the edge. You only need about an inch of space between the edges and the toppings to make a good pizza bone.

Freaquency posted:It’s always weird to me that people opt for home birth when it seems like birth before it was an option was basically a coin flip for the mom, the baby, or both dying. It's always been wild to me how many pregnant people refuse medical treatment claiming that bodies were made to birth. I've given birth 3 times, and each time I went to the hospital to have the baby, I knew there was a greater than zero chance that me or the baby was going to die. People just don't think bad things will happen to them.

I’m 43 and I’ve never done any drugs. I’ve never even been properly drunk really. When you grow up in a family of users and alcoholics you get pretty aware of where the line is. I do drink about 4x a year, mostly a drink or two on vacation.

T-Square posted:Well I kept loving up whipping the egg whites and sugar on the macarons (adding a small amount of extract and food coloring immediately ruined it) and got mad and quit, but I made some pretty ugly delicious pork gyoza Were you using gel food coloring or the kind in the pack from the grocery store? Sometimes the thin grocery store food colors will break your egg whites. Also you should add the food color after you add in the almond flour.

T-Square posted:Yeah I was using the grocery store food stuff, I’ll keep an eye out for gel coloring and add after! I’m not gonna quit until I make some cute drat macarons so I’m planning on trying again this weekend. Thanks for the helpful tips! The water in those cheapie colors is what busts up your meringue. For gel colors, the best place to find them is a craft store or party store that sells cake supplies. Michael's is a big box store that carries them. Wilton or Americolor are the most popular brands. I like Americolor because they come in small squeeze bottles that are easy to use. Wilton's comes in little pots and you have to scoop the color out. Much less convenient. Good luck on your next try! I can't wait to see what you make.

If it means my current leggings and oversized sweater/sweatshirt combo stays acceptable to go out in public in then folks can go right back in time to the 90s where we had frosted brown lipstick and body glitter everywhere. Same but if we're doing 90s clothes again, I want my grunge back. Or the flowery dresses with the little t-shirts underneath. Those were fun.

It's a (good-made!) puzzler where you slide around blocks to find a way to the win condition, and the blocks also include the rules saying what you control, what you need to touch to win, and all sorts of other concepts. It's remarkable. Will be checking that out. Thanks!

I'm dying, y'all. Someone I work with posted in our agency group about a problem with a katana that her son bought at Epcot in the Japan pavilion. Despite living in Orlando, they had to get it mailed to their house (can't have weapons in the park, I guess) and it came in today. She was mad because when they unsheathed the sword there was an inscription on it and she thought maybe someone had bought it and returned it so they got a used sword. The inscription said "To my brother Budd, the only man I ever loved. - Bill". She had no idea.

The Glumslinger posted:Thats amazing, though I gotta wonder why Kill Bill katanas were being sold at Epcot I think some of those stores are not owned by Disney so they can sell pretty much whatever they want. That store also sells Sanrio and Pokemon stuff too. Skwirl posted:
He did not ask for the engraving. They were very surprised to see it. She said they didn't really examine the sword when they bought it and of course it got packed and shipped right after they bought it. I get the impression the kid is fairly young so I doubt he's seen the movies.

CannonFodder posted:Do you put in the secret prize? And if so, how exactly do you put in the prize? And what happens if when cutting the cake to serve, you end up cutting the prize? Yes, I put a plastic baby in the cake after it's baked. You just poke it through the bottom of the cake before you put the icing on. I've never cut through the baby in the cake before. It's plastic but it's pretty hard to cut. I think you'd have to be pretty deliberate about it if you wanted to cut it in half.

I think you can put it in before baking, especially if it's an edible object like a dried bean or something, but every king cake I've ever had in the past 20+ has had a plastic baby and you wouldn't want to bake plastic into your cake.

Android Apocalypse posted:I know Braksgirl mentioned making king cakes recently and I shouldn't be surprised there's an OG French version, so go figure I saw this on my YouTube feed and felt like it belongs here: I mean, I guess that's probably tasty but homemade puff pastry is a lot more of a bitch to make than yeasted dough. No thank you please to making laminated dough. Also I think almond paste aka marzipan is kind of a polarizing flavor. I mean, not that the French care about that sort of thing.

I don’t even remember who said something to me because it was a while ago but I just remember feeling kind of hurt by it because I’d only posted in there a couple of times. I don’t really have a thin skin and I can poo poo talk with the best of them but the comment was so mean-spirited that I just said “gently caress it” and vowed never to go in there again. I don’t really care that much about GDT so I just steer clear. I just don’t want to be in a place where people are going to be lovely to me for no reason, you know? The best GDT interaction I’ve had is Rinaldo insulting my living room rug so it wasn’t all bad.

Aw, sweet baby. To be fair, I like your rug better than mine. Fwiw, I really don't care if people diss my rug, it's just fun to play along like I do. It was a cheapie that I used to cover kid and dog stains on carpet we no longer even have plus my cat has scratched up one corner of it anyway so it's getting replaced at some point.

Pain of Mind posted:I don't do any goon discord (or any discord really) because the one time I joined the SAS discord years ago it was so toxic (not to me specifically, just in general) that I lost all interest in socializing with goons in real time. What I can only assume are a bunch of permabanned peeps who still think the N word is edgy and were just generally annoying. I can sympathize with a single bad interaction just kind of souring a whole medium. I joined the TFF discord a few months ago and I lasted 10 min and noped on out of there. It was not for me.
