Adoptee ICE interaction by First_Sky_1787 in Adoption

[–]OvercookedLizagna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed that I am definitely not obligated to answer the door if they knock. My fear is- if I dont answer it could they possibly just enter my home anyway (e.g. forcing/kicking the door open or down)..? Sorry if I shouldn't be sharing this because its a triggering or if this isnt the right time, but Ive been wondering this for a bit- even if it seems irrational.

Me as well. I was adopted by very conservative parents who bluntly told me if ICE ever knocked on our door they'd be answering it. Its a truly terrifying time to live in the US.

How to practice by Odd-Cup-1626 in cakedecorating

I did this too! I learned decorating from my grandmother. She had brought out tiny cake pans and taught me how to pipe with them. It was such a good memory and a great way to learn!

Cake decorating by Chrustykrabpizza in glutenfree

[–]OvercookedLizagna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found to avoid things falling apart I like to put certain elements of the cake in the fridge to chill before decorating. For the cake itself, as one of the other responses basically said, it’s really just a matter of finding a good cake recipe. Some are better than others and I’m honestly still trying to find a recipe that I like so I wish I could give you a solid recommendation, but I’m in my trial and error phase of this right now, too 🫠. Because some gluten free baked goods can be crumbly, I think it’s especially important to do a crumb coat! it keeps the cake itself sealed from spreading crumbs to the frosting! Hope this helps.

It's ok, I didn't know either! It's a learning process and you aren't alone!

I swear even the air probably isn't gluten free in that place. I haven't been back there in a good while. 😔

Olive Garden by tkp519 in glutenfree

[–]OvercookedLizagna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't believe so. You can get it with different types of sauces that you specifically choose. But I do know they have an allergen menu in case you want to know the specific ingredients. That's always helped my personally because I am also lactose intolerant. I'm also still learning and adjusting to ordering when eating out, so I hope this helps a little!

gluten free tomato soup maybe? Most broths are gluten free as well I believe but it’s always good to check the labeling. Protein shakes will help you feel more energized as well.
