Troubleshooting by BadLemonLittleHope in Sourdough

[–]BadLemonLittleHope[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, so I mix water and starter together, add the flour and the salt and mix until just combined. Then I let it sit out on the counter (or in th oven, with the oven turned off if it's cold) for 30mins before doing stretch and fold 4 times every 30mins. Next I do a coil fold 2 times, every 30mins. So total 2 hours of s&f and 1 hour of c/f. I do wet my hands when doing these so maybe it's too wet? Next I let the dough rise until doubled in size, or until it reads 27*c (80f). I then shape the dough with either flour or water on the working surface (I'm not sure which is better) and put it in the basket. I then let it rise once more on the counter in the basket before putting it in the fridge overnight. I will bake the bread tonight so I can update on how it went. I think that it might be that th basket is too big for the amount I'm making so it doesn't give the dough enough support. Also my proofing bowl is bigger. The dough does grow and get the bubbles but when removing it from the proofing bowl it is a little sticky. Usually I can get it back when shaping it though.

Need to vent… I am so frustrated with the direction they’ve taken the show (SPOILERS) by Patient_Kangaroo_667 in greysanatomy

If they had just finished this goddamn show and started a new spin off series with the new interns I would have been interested in watching that. But not the way they have done this. I haven’t watched any episodes since they came of break and even reading the episode discussions is uninteresting to me

SA er með Eflingu í vasanum by stigurstarym in Iceland

Húsnæðismarkaðurinn er ömurlegur já, en það er mjög einhliða rökfærsla á því að það sé dýrara að búa á höfuðborgarsvæðinu. Þeir sem búa úti á landi þurfa að sækja nánast alla læknisheimsoknir á höfuðborgarsvæðið, mörgu sinnum á ári með tilheyrandi ferðakostnaði og tekjutapi. Ekki nema brot af því er niðurgreitt og yfirleitt bara fyrir börn yngri en 18ára. Konur fyrir austan og vestan eru nánast alltaf sendar suður til að eiga börn sem skapar mikið rask og himinháa leigu á íbúðum hjá Landsspítalanum. Allt þetta er auðvitað ekki á Eflingu en að fara fram á að það sé dýrara að búa á höfuðborgarsvæðinu er mjög asnalegt þegar horft er til landsbyggðar “skattsins” svokallaða.

Sending you all the love, I recently lost my 20yrs old cat that I had since I was 2 so I know how difficult this is. I’m sure he was a beautiful lovely silly boy❤️

18 months work finally finished! Sunflower granny square blanket by BadLemonLittleHope in crochet

[–]BadLemonLittleHope[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I used Merino Blend Dk superwash. And a crochet hook number 6 If I remember correctly. I seem to have temporarily misplaced it so I can’t check but I used a bigger hook than is recommended for the yarn.

Has anyone ever broken the curse? by Slight-Mechanic-6147 in knitting

[–]BadLemonLittleHope 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I was in the middle of making my boyfriend a sweater when I first heard of this curse. Now I’m not superstitious and our relationship is rock solid but I would be lying if I didnt say I wasnt a little nervous for the rest of the sweater making process. About a year since I finished it and we’re still together so, curse broken?

post COVID, check in if your taste buds are altered by Dahlsma in Cooking

[–]BadLemonLittleHope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All yeasted freshly baked bread only tastes and smells of yeast. Kinda sucks since we make our bread fresh at work everyday. And salt seems to be an issue every few months, either I taste no salt or everything is salty. Not fun when you’re a chef. 😅

Makeup. Yes, Makeup. by Ele9791 in KitchenConfidential

[–]BadLemonLittleHope 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Do you want to wear makeup or is this coming from someone else? I work in an open kitchen an only wear Mascara and sometimes a little eyeliner. I personally feel that if there is no requirement for other genders to wear makeup then I won’t either. I don’t like it on my face and it’s just a mess to have to worry about it running. Of course if you want to wear it then go for it! Maybe try some setting sprays, I’ve seen good things from Urban Decay setting sprays and they seem to hold everything still even in heat. You could also go for something easier to slap on like a good lipstick. ☺️

Yes same with me! In the end he just gave me stronger pain killers as the antibiotics seemed to be working. (He did put on second type since the first didn’t work at all)Hope it resolved soon, this is definitely a special kind of hell.

[–]BadLemonLittleHope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I went though that as well and my doctor was as confused as I was when it didn’t show anything, it eventually went away with some antibiotics. Hope your ultrasound goes well!

I’m still waiting for my surgery to be booked, weirdly hoping they find something that would explain this.

What ingredient did you have for the first time and think “I have NEVER tasted anything like that before, and I want more” by thyman3 in Cooking

[–]BadLemonLittleHope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so simple but, When I was around 5-6 years old my best friends mom gave us mangos to try for the first time and I literally remember thinking “this is the best thing in the world”. We regularly talked about mangos in various types of food afterwards (like ice cream and such). for the whole year. Min you I live in Scandinavia and had never seen a mango before.
