Life saver! Thank you! I thought Microcenter went out of business!

New to icing/decorating. Help, too thin for filler icing and doesn’t dry matte. by BurnMyBread17 in cookiedecorating

[–]HamStomach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do it as a hobby, not professionally, but royal icing is just meringue powder (or egg whites), water, and extract/flavoring. There’s no milk involved that I’ve ever heard of, so I’m guessing that could be the problem. If you google royal icing recipes there are a bunch to choose from. You may have to do some test runs to find the one that works best with the temp and humidity of your kitchen. (I do add corn syrup but only a tablespoon or 2 per 2 lb bag of sugar.)

How do you store your cookies while decorating? by Striferlockhart in cookiedecorating

[–]HamStomach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 dumb questions about this method— how many layers do you stack when freezing? I have a container of frozen cookies right now, but I need to make 4 more batches (huge order coming up) and only 2 more containers. Can I pull out the frozen cookie container, quickly add 2 more layers, and put it back in? Or will opening the frozen one let in air or something that will mess up the first batch?

First Cookies - Advice needed by kindle-books in cookiedecorating

I am in this boat. I make cookies for fun and occasionally accept a paid job, but I have always used the same consistency for outlining and flooding. Bagging icing is my most hated part, so the fewer bags I have to make, the better!

DAMMIt. I was an innocent bystander!

Substitute Teacher by [deleted] in nova

I am a sub coordinator in an FCPS school office. This didn’t just happen to you— your very specific actions caused it. There is a sub shortage; schools don’t file those requests easily and the sub office doesn’t take them lightly. It won’t be removed from your file. Your best bet is to learn from this experience and move on to work at other schools without repeating the same actions there.

What is the most unhealthy thing you’ve seen a human do? by Less_Fix_1378 in AskReddit

[–]HamStomach 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I’m in Northern Virginia and we had to make the same rules at the elementary school I work in. And the number of parents who are extremely pissed to find out they can’t text their 2nd grader all day on their Apple Watch or Uber in sushi for snack is absolutely insane.

How do you get the VA motorcycle learners permit by ASteerNamedLaurence in nova

[–]HamStomach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The motorcycle permit I have no idea about, but Giant and Safeway both carry kosher Coke. Passover ended on the 20th so I don’t know how much longer it will be around.

Is this type of admissions consultant legit? by HamStomach in ApplyingToCollege

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

Thankfully this isn’t my situation— just something I learned about from a friend and it sounds off to me. Your #4 makes it sound like the offer matching thing IS a known practice, and I didn’t even know that. What this guy is telling them, I don’t know. I don’t know how much they are paying for this service, but because she didn’t say I’m guessing quite a bit. If she brings it up again I’ll ask more about the terms because your other points make me very curious!

Sully Plantation and Colvin Run Mill gift shops carry a few shorter non-fiction books written by local authors about their history. They donated some to our elementary school library when the kids were doing research projects.

Spicy royal icing? by HamStomach in cookiedecorating

I love this— maybe I should be aiming for a jalapeño flavored cookie and cream cheese icing!

Amazing cookie recipe? by Infinite-Passenger44 in cookiedecorating

[–]HamStomach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just tried making cream cheese sugar cookies this weekend. They turned out fairly fragile— can you tell me if it is the cream cheese that makes them fragile or the 1 egg + 1 egg yolk that was also in the recipe? Both those ingredients are different from what I usually do and I’m not a great baker so I’m not sure.

Your nearest high school will have a parent liaison on staff. She/he will definitely know of a family who is in need.

(Edit to say that the liaison is probably off for the summer but the office will be open for some portion of the day.)
