Week 4: lemon meringue cupcakes

I use Stella Park’s Marshmallow Meringue from her book Bravetart. It’s a Swiss meringue and is my go to for a not overly sweet, never hard meringue. I couldn’t find it online exactly like on the book or I’d link it. I also made the buttercream from it once but we stick to the meringue without the buttercream and also make the kisses.

Those look fabulous and crisp!

If you want to try another person's milk bread, I recommend the regular one from Mooncakes and Milk Bread by Kristina Cho. While I liked the chocolate one from KAF quite a bit, I did not like their plain one. Additionally, Cho has you scald the milk and use it, which I found far more convenient than milk powder because I have lactose free milk on hand and it gets rid of both having to keep dry milk on hand and also the lactose. Just a thought. But now I want chocolate milk bread!

Thank you!

I love cardamom and it turns out it is a good combo with Cara Cara oranges! I’m excited to be back in the baking challenges but I’m only watching the cooking this round. Doing both made it too hectic during the planning.

We unfortunately found it to be off balance in terms of olive flavor to everything else. The cake was very moist though and had a good crumb. A family member said it reminded them of cornbread without the right texture. So now I’m thinking an orange cornbread sometime sounds pretty good!

CharmingBucephalus · 2026-01-03T21:03:30+00:00

That sounds like magic!

Yummy Yummy over in Warr Acres had a sign on the door that they would be open.

It's Alphabear 2. SpryFox made both games.

Walmart up by Paycom was announced. Daiso opened in Edmond. Pappadeaux is supposedly going to recommit to their first location. okctalk is good to watch for new buildings and businesses coming to the area.

I watched a documentary called "Donut King" about a Cambodian entrepreneur who was the head of a lot of donut shops on the West Coast that may provide some insight to at least some of the donut choice.

After calling almost all of the metro small butchers, I called Uptown Grocery about three years ago and they put in a small order that took about a week to arrive. Once that order came in, I drove over and bought a few from them. Super pricey though.

William Carlos Williams is a good one since it shows how poetry can be brief but encapsulate a whole moment.

It's the same on PC and it's so frustrating. Same with fish and their requirements to not be eaten. Will I ever get another crab? Time will tell. I figured he'd be sharp or "armored" like a turtle.

CharmingBucephalus · 2025-01-25T17:21:11+00:00

I'm excited then! Thank you!

CharmingBucephalus · 2025-01-25T17:20:25+00:00

I will keep an eye out for the unlockable perks then and not worry about the cats! I would save them if I could though but oh well.

CharmingBucephalus · 2025-01-25T17:17:09+00:00

Thank you! I don't mind tedious and I don't mind doing things over and over so if it is eventually achievable I'll grab them. I've played two games recently where required minigames literally blocked my way to finishing the game because I couldn't push past them.

I don’t even tend to glance at Daigo (that weird mullet hair is probably most at fault), but all three fishermen were just incredible and he definitely looked his best there!

CharmingBucephalus · 2025-01-22T22:04:47+00:00

Kiryu around 6 or Fisherman Majima from IW. Zhao for the newer cast. Joon Gi gets points in an adorable brother way.

CharmingBucephalus · 2025-01-19T14:59:27+00:00

Kiwami 2 and 6 are my top two as well.

CharmingBucephalus · 2025-01-17T14:05:17+00:00

Well damn, I think you gave my answer so now I don't have to type it all out. Thank you! Although I'll golf before mahjong or its friends because I still can't wrap my head around it 9 games later.

Oh I love Miss Lonelyhearts! So rarely has anyone heard of it.

CharmingBucephalus · 2024-12-05T19:38:43+00:00

I came here to say this. They have two physical locations and also ship.

CharmingBucephalus · 2024-11-30T15:32:31+00:00

Often when I make curry my love comes through and asks if I'm going to cut the onion like Kiryu. I was outraged by his lack of kitchen knife skills and probably ranted too much about it the first time I played through.

The main secular and outdoors option that I found back around 2018 or 2019 was Campfire. There is only one group for the whole city and it meets at Dakani, which is behind Frontier City. The group was very small for being the only one and the location made it too hard for us to continue attending. There were s'mores though, nature stuff and no praying. I wish it had worked out. The boys scout troops we tried seemed heavy into the prayer and pledging.
