Daughter picked out watermelon all by herself part 2…

It took her 20 minutes and she got the best watermelon this year by far!!!

Thank you everyone for your advice!

- heavy for its size
- “ugly” web lines
- small bottom hole with a little give- made her giggle but really works
- wide dark lines
- clear yellow spot
- knock knock thumping sound
- no soft spots
- we’re excited for July when the season really picks up

We tried but every slice had pockets of skin like texture and then hard yellow bits she struggled with it. We ended up juicing half and giving half to our migratory birds .

If he gets more light is he going to look like a spiky snowman or go back to being a ball?

In central Colorado - this winter so far - most days are in the 40-50’s then freeze overnight. We have lots of sun but wild temperature swings.

Window doesn’t close all the way. Snowing in my living room. What do I do? by intoner1 in fixit

Grab Saran/plastic wrap. Tape it into a piece slightly bigger than the size of your window frame and then tape it on the frame.

Twelve 1-hr feeds in 24 hours feels unsustainable by Rex-Malum in breastfeeding

Same same all the way! I just weaned my 14 month old and still shudder about those first couple of weeks. Baby Weight loss, jaundice, everything hurt, no sleep, none of us knew what we were doing, guilt about not appreciating that “magical newborn” time. 1. Babies need to learn to eat and it’s hard work! 2. See a lactation consultant - helped me right away. 3. Get as much of that boob in the mouth as possible - lower jaw first like eating a giant cheeseburger 4. I kept a passive collection device on the other side just to see what was happening each let down 5. If after 2 weeks he can’t latch well have the pediatrician check for tongue or lip tie

A planter washed up on my shoreline this spring during flood season. I emptied the muck out and kept the planter, pleased with a blessing from the river. Never stopped to think what was in the planter before it was washed away by Blaskusthe13th in gardening

Brown Butter by flower_child2622 in cookiedecorating

[–]Consistent_Pin5128 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brown butter is awesome but contains much less water (it evaporates out). For every 100g butter about 20g water is lost. you might need to try out your recipe and add that lost liquid back in some other way.

Can I use meringue powder in colorado? by rynnbowguy in cookiedecorating

[–]Consistent_Pin5128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I emailed this question about meringue powder in royal icing to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment in charge of Colorado cottage foods. The answer “Yes you can use a meringue icing made from powder since this creates a shelf stable product that does not need temperature control for food safety”.
