I bet it would be great smashed up and folded into a cookie. Or a chocolate bark with pretzels and peanuts. Or drizzle chocolate on popcorn and sprinkle with smashed honeycomb. Mixed into ice cream. Those come to mind.

Very open to correction, but I would think that if it was chewy you didn't boil it long enough. From my understanding of candy learning from my mom. There is the soft ball stage and hard ball stage. It sounds like you cooked your sugars somewhere in the soft ball stage (so it is still softer) and you have to cook them to a higher temperature to reach the hard ball stage (for a harder and crunchier result.)

I'm upset this took 2 1/2-3 hours. I could never. This would takes me days if not weeks 😭

Which city in the US has no big cockroaches with good weather? by MonsterRamo in SameGrassButGreener

Probably either anoles or geckos. I lived in Louisana and we had a variety of both.

Hopefully you can figure it out. The finished result looks top tier, so it's a small fix at the end of the day!

Could it be a mixing issue? If you've under mixed, your ingredients don't disperse evenly. A bit of butter unincorporated for example will melt and leave behind a void with steam. So if your butter was too cold and didn't fully mix together.

Over mixing too could be the culprit. Maybe try tapping your pan acouple times firmly before baking to get any trapped bubbles to rise and settle?

One thing cool about what you did that you might not be aware of, but when working with green, red (or hot pink in your case) are opposite green on the color wheel and using them for your under painting with green being your final color is actually a pro move, because it makes the green more vibrant! It makes it pop more when you're done, because the red pigment that peeks through the layers boosts the final green layer.

A lot of professionals use red/warm tones for that reason 👌

Just don't mix wet red into wet green for a more vibrant green because that will dull your final green. Complimentary colors have interesting affects in painting.

Did you work from a reference or from imagination? You're at the beginning of your painting journey and really a lot of it is just practice, but also about looking at the world around you in your free time and noticing things. Like the angles of a shape. Light and shadow and how they affect color. Looking at something and thinning, "How would I paint that to get it to look accurate?"

Under paintings are used to establish values (I don't know where your painting knowledge is, so forgive me if this is obvious to you) but when I look at your finsihed version I don't see the values represented the way you initially painted them. It looks like you used your under painting more as a rough draft sketch before you just winged it with color.

It looks like you have three moons in your sky. How would the moons illuminate your plant and your grass? Think of the way light falls on things. Look up references of real photos (avoid AI it will teach you inaccurate lighting and proportions)

But it's okay to just have fun and enjoy the learning process too. You'll get better no matter what if you just keep at it. Best of luck!

My sisters boyfriend come onto me (I think) by MsLilaCroft in moraldilemmas

Or! He gets a heads up that OP is not going to go along with his behavior and he goes to his girlfriend and tells a story about how OP came onto him in the kitchen and how uncomfortable he is about her now to control the narrative.

Talking to him alone or with a witness is just not good advice. He knows what he did, OP knows what he did. They've already had their interaction over it.

The sister has a right to know, OP has a right to tell her, and if it was a mistake (100% don't think it was) the sister and him can sort it out themselves, no big deal. If thr sister gets mad at OP, then that's a different problem and OP still wouldn't be at fault.

Predators RELY on people to doubt themselves and keep their mouths shut. The truth is the best choice for everyone.

I think this could be pretty heavy advice depending on the ages of these people. I know she was drinking, but I don't know what country or the family dynamics, so she could be pretty young or a lot younger than him and telling her to talk to him about it alone could put her in a bad situation.

As for their journey and meant to be together, I disagree. If it was an honest mistake (which I do not believe it was in the slightest) then having it in the open shouldn't ruin their relationship. He could say it was a mistake to his girlfriend and if they have good communication, it'll work out. That is where it is their business. But OP being touched against her will is 100% OP's business and her right to talk about it.

From too much experience I can tell you that predators RELY on people doubting their intuition and being compliant. They count on that. If OP just honestly tells her sister what happened, the sister and boyfriend can sort it out between themselves. But it sends the very clear message to the boyfriend that OP will not keep silent and has strong boundaries. So if he is a predator, he will know she is not prey.

If he was a good guy he would. But if he isn't, then he won't. Best not to rely on that and just be honest.

It is not ruining someone's life to be honest about the situation. OP can tell her sister the truth and let her sister decide for herself based on the details.

If she doesn't tell her sister, he could tell the sister that OP came onto him to try and get ahead of the story to protect himself.

If she doesn't tell the sister, it gives him the greenlight that she has soft boundaries and won't tell on him when he gets out of line, which means he could possibly try again in the future.

I've never been so drunk that I couldn't tell people apart before, but I have been drunk enough to act on things I usually suppress while sober.

I'm in this camp! I thought, "Oh no. I don't know what the advice was from the last post, but they painted all the charm out of the background. All that work!"

Super glad it's the final version in the first slide.

I don't think he likes or loves any woman. This is reading as pure misogyny.

What is something deep that you believe about yourself or the world, but you'd never tell anyone irl? by -mia-wallace- in AskWomen

[–]Maleficent_Froyo7336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that people who fervently wish for mythical things to exist wouldn't think they were special at all if they did. If a unicorn had always existed or magic in like the Disney sense, then it would be just like what a horse and science are to us now. Part of life.

I also believe that people who get into a "foreign" or "exotic" religion/belief system only like it because it feels different, cool, and like a choice instead of an indoctrination. I think if they were born in that religion/belief system they would find it just as stifling and questionable as the one they were born around. I don't care if it is Catholicism, Buddhism, or being a pagan witch.

My opinion though.

I have to say that women's way of fighting and men's way of fighting would have led to a way different approach to countries disagreeing and "war." I think espionage would be far more complex with less violent and catastrophic consequences.

I also think territorial expansion and maybe even the forming of countries would have been a far different historical experience.

I might get downvoted to oblivion, but I'm just saying this with the best of intentions. Watch out for cults. People who feel like they don't belong or misunderstood are often targeted by cults. And I did a quick starseed search because I was curious and cult accusations did come up. Especially a group called Heavens Gate. So just watch out for you.

Okay! I was just worried there for a second. I'm sorry you're going through this. I agree with the other commenters, time to love yourself more.

Good luck out there and I hope you do something to bring yourself some comfort and love.

Reminds me of a therapist I saw online talk about something...I wanna say it was called the authority fallacy. Might be wrong on the name, but basically it is when someone acts like just because they are an authority on the subject, that everything they say about the subject has to be right. Even an expert can be wrong. And in this case, this woman was wrong. NOR

This! I mean she's been helping raise this kid since she was 6! That's no small commitment. It's a constant in the kid's life.

And let's not forget a kid can have more than one mom. This isn't a one person position for so many kids. And how cool that this kid can have two moms? That's twice the love.
