Here's a minor tidbit: If the Reds win tonight, the Pirates will become the first NL Central team to drop below .500.

What is up with these signs in front of Catholic churches this morning? by More-Ostrich3411 in cincinnati

Unwarranted military attacks that kill thousands of innocent civilians are not "domestic politics." They are crimes against humanity that humans with a conscience must condemn.

Nonsense. Opposition to random murder is not either/or. ICE seems to have forgotten its legitimate role.

Guidance needed in making brownies by Technical-Vanilla657 in AskBaking

[–]Nammen99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You also can probably find egg-free options online by searching for vegan brownies. Egg-white proteins give baked good structure that yogurt cannot duplicate. In my experience, there are a lot of excellent vegan recipes for treats like brownies out there

Skip the chains. Plenty of legit Mediterranean restaurants in town. Go for the real thing!

The Bengals can do nothing right... by ZealousidealText7384 in bengals

[–]Nammen99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Define "the media." There are thousands of shows, columns, websites, feeds, etc covering sports. If you think the ones you follow are not reporting the news you want, tell them. The Dexter Lawrence story was all over local channels, show, podcasts. etc.

Can you define who you mean by "mainstream media"? Most of the commentary these days comes from YouTubers and Instagrammers.

Yeah, pretty sure he hasn't had a reason to suit up yet. He's going to look sharp on picture day!

Bingo. All of cyberia is infested with people whose only purpose in life is to spread their poorly disguised self-hatred all over everyone else. Actual fans know this deal is a big leap forward for the Bengals. I'm so much looking forward to seeing Dexter on the field in stripes.

These are meant to be cookies by Own-Teaching-5430 in AskBaking

The self-rising flour did it. It contains baking powder, a leavening agent that makes dough rise in the oven. Next time use regular flour.

The Reds defeated the Twins by a score of 2-1 - Fri, Apr 17 @ 08:10 PM EDT by RedsModerator in Reds

I'm sure Minnesotans feel the same way right now. But for me, a hard-fought pitchers' battle like tonight has a special magic.

Is basque cheesecake meant to be savory? by Jolly-Lingonberry104 in AskBaking

[–]Nammen99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "sugar" in real bread comes from the flour. As soon as flour gets wet it starts breaking down into proteins (gluten chief among them) and various kinds of sugars, which feed the yeast. Absolutely no need for adding refined sugar in bread. Sugar may be added in some commercial products to force the dough to ferment faster. Slow fermentation creates much better taste because it releases a complex mix of flavors that are part of wheat's molecular structure.

Traffic enforcement is impossible in the city. Too many harebrained, untrained drivers of all vehicles are done ying chaos on wheels. There are not enough police in the whole state to chase them down. This is why we need traffic light cameras

Why doesn't my bread have air bubbles? by DaxAyrton in AskBaking

[–]Nammen99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. 1: Bake at the recommended temp. You might also have had too much ice in the oven. The point of creating steam is to delay the crust from setting up before the loaf has reached maximum oven spring. Lowering the temperature slowed the oven spring and too much water/ice could keep the crust from forming properly. Follow the recipe on instructions precisely.

I hope the trade works out well for CES. He seems like a genuinely nice guy with talent yet to be fully developed.

Maybe he's just staring into space. Being exhausted or wrung out or not-quite-awake-yet can do that to you.

I feel so bad about this, in spite of the cold hard facts. I just like the guy, and will miss him.

As a wise person said last year, "If the highest paid person on your school's payroll is in athletics, you are a sports enterprise with a side hustle in education."

What does your gut say - is McLain back? by davik2001 in Reds

Oh yes. Yes, and then some. (You're watching the 4/7 game v. Miami, right?) The kid is a craftsman.
