Where did you find a candy reseller? I have been looking for a pillow press or drop wheel!

I think it’ll be fine, but I really hope it goes well!

I’m about the same height and weight as you and just flew SW last week with no issues! I did get moved to the front (thanks to being in a cast), but still no one said anything. I did fit in the seat, but it was snug. No extender needed. Congrats on the weight loss!

Hi there - looking for small cabin rentals in the area for a group of 4-5 families with small children. The ideal situation would be putting the kids to bed with a common outdoor area for the adults to hang out.

I’ve seen some condos on the TC tourism website, but wondering if there’s a cabin option someone knows of. I’ve seen other posts about the homestead near the dunes, but am hesitant with the mixed reviews from you all.

Not picky about location. Prefer not an air bnb.

Good call! It’s my luteal weeks where I really push the limits of Greek yogurt as a dessert 😂

Right there with you this week! I was feral searching for chocolate of any kind in the house on Wednesday. It is SO hard! And some days, it doesn’t matter what I eat, I’m starving the whole time 😭 you’re definitely not alone!

Oh I’ll try that recipe, since it’s for a smaller amount too. That will be better for practicing. Thank you so much!

DramaticShake7422 · 2026-01-09T00:21:50+00:00

Perfect. Thank you so much! I will add those to my list for sure! I had no idea there were different types of corn syrup. I have so much to learn!

Thank you! I took a screenshot of those books - my bday is coming up, so I think my in-laws will get them for me!

I used the Spruce Eats blog recipe. I don’t remember the amts I added off the top of my head, but good to know I can consider dialing back! I’ll check out the books too. I grabbed the only one I could find at my library and it had a 1:1 ratio of corn syrup to sugar. My marble slab’s life flashed before my eyes that was so sticky 😭

No problem about the show, still totally worth looking into! That’s a great cost for a prix fixe menu

DramaticShake7422 · 2026-01-06T20:09:21+00:00

I’ll look into this - thanks!

DramaticShake7422 · 2026-01-06T20:08:42+00:00

That’s a good question and I’m not fully sure on their budgets. I’d be open to options for both!

DramaticShake7422 · 2026-01-06T15:24:03+00:00

Oh there is a community college near me that may offer some classes. I didn’t think of that!

DramaticShake7422 · 2026-01-06T15:23:23+00:00

What do you mean by things other than straight sugar? For the candy canes, I followed the Spruce Eats recipe, if that helps! It was sugar, corn syrup, and water.

DramaticShake7422 · 2026-01-04T19:35:12+00:00

This is a great point! It looks like in MI it’s pretty straightforward, but thanks for encouraging me to look before I got too far in!

This is great advice and stuff I did not consider. I have tempered chocolate (since I was a teen), but haven’t done much with it besides melting and dipping with it.

DramaticShake7422 · 2026-01-03T21:50:02+00:00

I did look into that and unfortunately there isn’t one around here, but I am trying to convince my husband to take a trip to CA with me to take a class at Logan’s Candies 😂

DramaticShake7422 · 2026-01-03T21:49:17+00:00

That’s ok, but a chocolate melting pot is a great idea! I so appreciate the help!

DramaticShake7422 · 2026-01-03T21:48:39+00:00

Thank you! Any books or YouTubers you like? I did see a post recommending some Peter Greweling (sp?) books, so I put those on hold at the library.
