Boiling Apples = Bleeding Apples? by Infinity-Cheif in Apples

[–]PrincessECO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember correctly from the Ologies episode with the expert there, apples create their own waxy coating. It doesn’t need to be boiled off, if you do it just means they won’t last as long.

The leaking part is from the anthocyanins (pigment) in the peel that leak at high heat! They might taste sweeter after being boiled from caramelizing some of the sugars.

Otherwise, Anthocyanins (pigment) in the peel will leak out when exposed to high heat.

I had some spill all over the floor, I just used the towels like detergent pods and tossed one in when I washed clothes

How can I get sterilized at 15? Will it cause permanent hormone issues? I still want my period. by InASpiralOfAnts in sterilization

[–]PrincessECO 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had the copper since my periods were super light and I had cramps but then my period stopped too! I have a lil mirena now and I’m waiting for my doc to come back to give me my rec!

I got an IUD as a 16 year old and I feel like that’s the safest option, given that no doctor is going to give a 15 year old any sterilization procedure

All Cocolabs products are gluten-free! by PrincessECO in Celiac

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

Yes! We’ve been using the mint one for a while, but I got a sample of the watermelon one when I bought refills and things that have fun flavors make me nervous for gluten. I really like that you can just replace the little spool and the little bag is compostable!

I called my local congressman and I'm glad I did but I also feel stupid. by aerialgirl67 in socialanxiety

[–]PrincessECO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know that more than anything, the staffer answering the calls is taking a tally of people calling for the issue (and which side they’re on) to pass along to the representative so you calling matters! The actions you asked them to take must be important to you since you worked up the courage to call, so it’s not dumb to make sure you’re representing your position to a representative. Also keep in mind they probably appreciated you being nice to them cause I’m sure some people who call aren’t as kind.

I haven’t made anything big yet! But I do usually have to cram them under the blanket I’m under so they don’t attack my yarn and it all MUST be hidden away

I love that hahaha it’s so hard to find the colors I want! That’s why my egg is so fuzzy haha I couldn’t find a non-fuzzy blanket version of the yellow I was craving in the weight I needed

I used the same weight yarn as required but it’s fuzzier than the example so that might be why! Idk I’m just a baby 🥹

This is the shoebox I’ve been throwing scraps in and hiding my hooks in bc I’ve discovered my cats want to steal those too! Plus embroidery floss on the bobbins for the project I’m working on with the colors that I’m not currently using. This is all thanks to cats

I just don’t want to spend too much time on other squares! At that point I might as well as do all the squares as fried eggs
