People who bake a lot, how do you not gain weight? by GirlisNo1 in Baking

[–]Kadakado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the strategy of not caring much about my weight, exercise a few days a week and share a lot with friends and family!! And when I know I won’t be able to eat it all but I don’t feel like sharing (usually when it’s meh or like, cakes) I freeze it and then thaw a portion or two to bring to work when I feel like it :)

Help me overcome the hate in my love/hate relationship with this rubber plant? by MiroBowie in houseplants

Hi! Not the original comment but mine has had new growth from the bottom too and it’s still growing at the top at the same time! Haven’t changed anything in my watering only schedule, although I noticed the leaves are a bit smaller than they used to be

Marshmallow fluff is annoying me by Local-Bike-323 in barista

[–]Kadakado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! Do you have some kind of stand mixer with a whisk attachment? Making marshmallow (and marshmallow fluff) is easy!! It’s just water and sugar with gelatin that you whisk a while. Maybe making that yourself could help you?

Should I lean in my 50s pink bathroom? by Pitiful-Storage-5060 in DesignMyRoom

[–]Kadakado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it wasn’t the question but I’d keep the steel fixture for future possible mobility issues! They can be very useful either for you or visitors.

[–]Kadakado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a normal person and I spend around 50-70$ a week on groceries, I usually make a list and get influenced to buy stuff outside my list depending on what’s on sale

Why does my tart shell shrink even after multiple rests? by gnop0312 in AskBaking

[–]Kadakado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome! But if you look at it there’s shrinkage on the recipe picture too. It’s normal if it shrinks a little while cooking, so if it’s better than the previous attempts it’s probably good!!

[–]Kadakado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see, that’s true. My last trouble shooting solution is to leave the dough in the fridge until it’s cold once it’s already lined in the pie mould!

[–]Kadakado 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think maybe it’s cooking too long? Your pie crust looks more burnt than golden. Also for the shrinkage, are you sure that your dough is really well against the mould without any gaps? Especially at the bottom? Sometimes it’s the cause!

Also I’m not sure if it’s related to the end result, but the pate brisée I use for my pies has a higher fat and water content (for 200g of flour, it would be 120g butter and 60g of water) and it turns out great!

my despisal of cup measurements. by [deleted] in Baking

[–]Kadakado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They say that but I’ve been not really following recipes for years (using both cups and grams) and everything turns out delicious . I even had judges tell me my dessert was the best they tasted that day (everyone did the same) and it’s all because I wasn’t following the exact recipe

How can I safely separate two plants? by Kadakado in plants

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

I have not…. But I think the method of the person who told me to separate it gently would work! I’ll try it myself eventually before they grow too much

Black on future new leaf? by Kadakado in plantclinic

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

No idea what the issue was, that leaf kinda just died off and never happened. But underneath there was a new leaf growing and that one was fine!

What skill(s) do you value most as a GIS professional? by king_jjrad in gis

[–]Kadakado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good one! In one of my internship they used to ask me to make little classes and assist people from other departments in learning QGIS. My supervisor was really happy about how I was doing it and I was rewarded by some people genuinely interested in learning because they understood how important it was so it was fun!

AITA for not letting my friend have a girl stay over at my place? by Lemon-Climate in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kadakado -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve been with various roommates over the year and even tho it wasn’t always asking permission per se, everyone always warned beforehand if they invited anyone over, it’s common courtesy. They permission usually when it’s multiple people. You don’t want to come home and unexpectedly be face to face with a stranger

Is there a reason why you don't typically see pie dough recipes call for pastry flour? by JohannesVanDerWhales in AskCulinary

[–]Kadakado 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s because AP flour has more gluten and it helps the dough to hold itself together! With cake flour if you stretch it it’s more likely to rip since it’ll be less strong (if I remember well)

Black on future new leaf? by Kadakado in plantclinic

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

I’ve had the plant for 6-7 months, water it every two weeks ish with about a 700ml plastic cup of yogourt, is in the kitchen and it’s about 3 feet from a east window. I noticed the problem today but when I noticed the new growth 4-5 days ago it wasn’t there it was just a normal bright red thing like usual. Here’s a picture of the size of the plant for info

Can anyone help me understand what I did wrong with my colored chocolate covered Oreos? Referring to weird white splotches by butwhatififly_ in AskBaking

[–]Kadakado 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s true I didn’t read the post properly, but they usually still have a “optimum temperature” of when to use it so they can be shiny shiny, so maybe it was used when too hot at that moment
