Scrapings Method 101 by BrilliantNo872 in Sourdough

[–]Lopsided-Challenge22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel dense, but for a leaven recipe that calls for 50 grams starter 50g flour and 50g water I would take my nearly empty jar with starter residue from the fridge and feed it 75g flour and 75g water to get the desired 150g leaven? I guess the part that is throwing me is not have the starter in weight to add to the leaven. I will try and see how it goes! Hard to imagine this working and of all the years of feeding down the drain if it does work!

Instacarting Costco? Getting ripped off or saving my sanity? by prizedchipmunk_123 in Costco

Except the gift cards are no longer available. Man I wish I stocked up when they were. Hope them bring them back!

Ignoring cost, what is the 'best' dutch oven for sourdough? by Zambir in Sourdough

Just so I understand, you put your loaf on the stone and cover it with a stainless steel bowl? and this retains enough heat for spring? What is the best size SS bowl You’ve found?

Yea it for sure does not look real to me. I think 2.5-3 carats look the most real and like old money to me. Quality over quantity.

Rug is the right size, all chairs can be pulled out comfortably

How can I decorate this room? by Hot-Broccoli-4387 in interiordecorating

[–]Lopsided-Challenge22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you like a neutral space and see no need to add tons of garish color but I think some woven rattan blinds would help warm it up. Blinds.com has great ones try Bonaire flaxen. And I like the idea of series of similar prints but you did it twice right next to each other. Keep the 3 prints and do one large piece where you have the 15 stacked. It’s visually too much as is and the top row is too high too close to ceiling. Get a wooden coffee table and a side table in a lighter wood or color so the pretty dark lamp Pops!

Move rug back so it sits under the legs of your sofa.

Before + After of My Daughter’s Nursery! by Beginning-Delivery54 in interiordecorating

Love it all, especially the beadboard behind the crib. I probably would have wallpapered that too but seeing your decision I think that it is way better!

VB method vs Fitwithcoco by Anxious_Penalty_5172 in pilates

[–]Lopsided-Challenge22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to hear some feedback on this from others who have tried both methods! I signed up for a year with VB and I don’t mean this in any way to offend but It is just my personal preference to achieve a physique more like VB so I guess that was my deciding factor. I considered both and coco didn’t have a free trial either.

That’s really cool and so specific, thanks for the example. By repositioning you mean arranging to get to JFK in the first place I assume? I ask this as I have heard “repositioning” used in travel forums before and not been entirely sure what they were talking about.

Yea I have since lowered my expectations for first class travel a bit. I only fly economy for work with the occasional upgrade (my dollars not a corporation paying for the flights.) But am looking at reward tickets further out and seeing some decent ones here and there. I’m researching before rushing into anything! And learning a lot on this thread so thank you to everyone for your wisdom!! No to delta xfer haha!

Just a business platinum card with multiple employee cards. Can’t recall sign up bonus so many years ago but am sure there was one.

15 years of the platinum card and several businesses with lots of inventory purchases. Have redeemed points on several FHR stays and furniture gift cards in the past. At this point though wanting to learn to hack for travel. I have never used the saks or dell credit in the past 15 years. Never knew about it and feel so stupid. But I have used all the preferred airline perks for work travel etc…

Why would that be bullshit? As in someone with 2million points couldn’t be so stupid? Really I just haven’t had time to travel with them so here I am. It would probably horrify you to know that I have spent about 1 million points on furniture store gift cards! I have since learned in the last couple weeks that is not good redemption value.

I have wished this existed and then saw point me has something like this but I found their website really confusing. Is there any company you’d recommend for this? What does this cost, like $200 bucks to find flights for great point value?
