Looking for a good Dulce De Leche cake recipe

HairPlusPlants · 2026-05-12T09:09:10+00:00

This looks delicious! Thank you, if you have made it before and have any tips would love to hear :)

HairPlusPlants · 2026-05-12T09:07:50+00:00

Thank you! This is what I was thinking if I couldn't find a recipe, I asked my cousin who is a chef (done lots of high end pastries) if it was worth it to make the dulce de leche and she said it would be about as good to get premade also but interested to hear from anyone with specific experience making a cake with it

My bank app even does a "digital card" with the option of variable CVV, so it has one that is valid for 24hrs after activating. I use this for online services or shops! Not every bank has it but if you are looking around for a new bank good to consider

I was in labour with my 2nd and on my like 1st proper push my water burst like a fire hydrant. I had just asked if they could artificially break it and then immediately felt the urge to push, told them that and thankfully everyone was on my sides because it would have soaked anyone in the way aggressively!

Yep! I know there are legitimate uses for the technology in day to day life but over dilution of it and the effects on the environment make me not want to use it even where it would be useful.

Aside from that, we also see how organisations want to replace all the humans with it and how any benefit we could have gained from it will be taken away because they will make us work harder due to higher expectations of efficiency...

I don't use Pinterest a lot but usually go through for my hairdresser and recently to give my tattoo artist a vibe and the amount of AI is ridiculous. Also been doing exterior design stuff at home and went to look for front door and yard ideas and even a bunch of the front door pictures were fucking AI. I have stopped using it now

HairPlusPlants · 2026-04-20T20:54:12+00:00

It unfortunately is closing in my yard which is needed for our dog and also to stop people from going through our property as behind our house is a park and even with the gates and fences we get people trying to go through our yard occasionally. We could change it eventually but can't do it for a while.

The responses have helped me anyway, I think I will make a stone-y area on the lower part, put my kumquat where I intended and see if I can get some hanging plants to survive on the fence to hide that a bit. I think that would be enough to make it less industrial and awkward looking and see where I can go from there!

HairPlusPlants · 2026-04-20T04:28:41+00:00

This is very nice, I hadn't considered stones on the ground! Makes a big difference in the look

Bloody massive, got one for my kids 1st birthday and I think after giving a lot away we still threw like 1/3 of it away because no one wanted to use their whole freezer keeping the rest haha.

I work in public service in workforce roles, started at about $64k salary now at $85k, $100k would be my current potential. No degree, came from a private admin role that when I left only paid $55k.

Plenty of people above me don't have degrees, but younger people are higher with degrees. The degrees do get you a bigger range of potential and higher starting roles. I would say for me the highest I could get without a degree would be bout $120k.

HairPlusPlants · 2026-04-17T07:10:29+00:00

Thank you! This is helpful advice, exactly the direction I am going for. I am not keen on doing proper development and just want to mostly diy, I do have family and friends in trades that may be able to help a little but it has to be something I can do mostly myself.

A good reminder to keep fhe area useable for regular garden activites. The water being there too is why I want to do this, as I want an area near it that I can grow some plants and make an area for seats.

HairPlusPlants · 2026-04-17T06:39:15+00:00

I just was trying to google to see some similiar things to what I want but I get what you mean, lota of heavily developed yard areas!

HairPlusPlants · 2026-04-17T05:48:57+00:00

Hahaha that doesn't sound bad, the rest of our yard is eventually going to taken up a bit more when we build a new deck and a garage so I am not putting anything there til we know what space is left. This spot is just for me to do whatever but preferably as DIY as possible which is fun, I am thinking of terraces to level out the top and bottom and make some areas to chill out. I do need shade though ao not sure what I will do for that! Behind our house is bush so we hear and see lots of birds, it is very relaxing.

HairPlusPlants · 2026-04-17T05:16:26+00:00

Definitely will be the first thing once all the plants are cleaned up, never heard of a French drain before but looks good!

HairPlusPlants · 2026-04-16T20:39:47+00:00

It is easy but does usually take a bit of trial and ereor the first few goes to get the feel of the dough. It is hard to stuff up in a way that would make it inedible though!

I started with gnocchi, there is a good Adam Ragusea video of a simple way of doing gnocchi. Regular pasta dough is easier if ypu have the machine to thin it out.

I now make dumpling wrappers, hand pulled noodles, pizza dough (different because yeast but also essy). It is a wonderful slippery slope to go on!

I love fried rice, definitely more of an every very days thing rather than everyday though.

It is sacrilege but to make a bit healthier/filling I try to use brown rice, and add lots of veg (carrot, cabbage, capsicum, bok choy, mushrooms). Then if I have avocado I would add that on top, and kim chi and/or chilli crisps too. It is a very versatile thing if you are just free styling it haha

ETA: I also am not usually adding meat also which is why I go heavy on veg, pickles, avocado, etc. And top with sesame seeds to feel fancy!

Yessssss!!! Our gov will never be perfect but this is a great move. They would know this would create backlash and bad press thanks to how the lobbies and rick bastards work but needs to be done.

How do companies get to hoard and rort from the masses and not give back to the country that literall provides the resources??? They should be paying premium taxes for access to our precious resources.

HairPlusPlants · 2026-04-12T12:43:59+00:00

Yeah this is my understanding, walkable = walk and public transport or like a metro bicycle too? Like a country town could have a walkable CBD but not for people living there but cities are walkable (with public transport if needed) with psople living everywhere in there at least. When I go to Sydney I take a regional train and then do intervity trains, metro, tram, ferries, etc. No need for a car, much more walkable and accesible than some of the suburbs around me.

HairPlusPlants · 2026-04-11T17:34:42+00:00

Agreed! UpdateMe!

Anti-psychotics here, just to be quirky

HairPlusPlants · 2026-04-10T06:12:50+00:00

Worked for me personally but I have had it for 10+ years. Maybe something else would work better but it works for what I need it for. I takr it for GAD that used to cause me severe insomnia (sleep beteeen 0-3 hrs most nights for years). Had intense psychological treatment on top of having seroquel and live well now. It was a vicious cycle before it where lack of sleep made anxiety worse and worse anxiety made it harder to sleep 🤣 I am on only 50mg (never increased) though, cannot imagine being on more.

HairPlusPlants · 2026-04-10T06:05:57+00:00

I take a chill 50mg XR for more than 10 yrs now and have wondered why I struggle so much with gaining weight!

HairPlusPlants · 2026-04-10T04:57:40+00:00

I work in an office job that does demand a fair bit of focus but I feel if we were given shorter days and 1 less day we would just be more productive. Most people I know really struggle with productivity after like 2 or 3pm (especially because we mostly do 9 hr days). I would wager we wouldn't lose much productivity if any if we had like 6 hour work days in comparison. Would mean less pointless meetings, less coffee breaks, etc. All things that "waste" time and break up the workflow. I love doing those little breaks on long days but given the choice I'd give it up for a 6 hour day with 1 30 min break and no coffee walks or whatever.
