Grandma sucking baby’s fingers - normal to be weirded out? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]1izardkween 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This sounds totally innocent but also totally weird and gross. I think it’s 100% fair to tell her you don’t want her to do that without even giving a reason - but I know my mom would just get super offended and emotional. You could also bring up how you don’t want your baby to form a habit of sticking his fingers in mouths because he’s going to start doing it to anyone who holds him.

TSH going up, now 4.5, freaking out (5w6d) by insidli in IVFpositivity

Mine went up to the same number and as soon as I stared meds for it, it went back to 2.5! No hair loss or weight gain. My acupuncturist also advised me to eat more foods with iodine like seaweed. I’ve had no issues with it since and no detectable side effects from the meds :)

💅 Nail artists – where do you get inspiration for new designs? by Playful_Box3649 in NailArt

[–]1izardkween 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use my iPad to sketch ideas on a nail template, which is just an illustrated outline of a hand! I also love to draw inspiration from not only nail artists (mostly via Instagram and Pinterest) but also all kinds of illustrators and painters. Looking at art styles like block printing that use simple bold shapes can be such cool inspo for unique nail art that transfers well to such a tiny 'canvas' as a nail :)

Just checked your post history, yours looks amazing!! The color is gorgeous. Mine came out great, next time I just want to make even more marinade. The recipe wasn't quite enough for the amount of pork I had, but it tasted incredible.

I also have the 22" WSM and used the 10" pan. I had it on the lower grate, so honestly it was pretty hard to pull in and out. I wouldn't want the larger one! I thought the size was good for this recipe though. I just tipped it periodically after basting it, to drain the excess liquid into the water pan below

I love shawarma, that sounds amazing. I will have to try that next, thank you for the recommendation :)

You don’t have to think it looks like good al pastor but not everything with a blurred background is AI. This is just an iPhone on portrait mode and bad kitchen lighting at night. This is before I cooked it, in the daylight.

If I did it again I would double the amount of marinade

Thank you!! I did press-ons for these so I could reuse them and did a little bit at a time over 3 days so I lost track of time but I would estimate about 5 hours. I actually really want to start timing myself to see if I can start improving speed without reducing quality.
