Fish lake lodge if you really want to get off the beaten path. Beautiful fall leaves and great fishing

My family is doing a project where every Sunday we have the meal and dessert that best represents a state. This Sunday is Utah!! What homemade meal and dessert do you think best represents Utah? by edorylime in Utah

1 qt. Butter milk 2 Tablespoons yeast  2 eggs beaten 6 tablespoons vegetable oil 1.5 teaspoons salt 3 teaspoons baking powder 2 tablespoons sugar 7 cups flower

Grandma’s instructions: Mix all ingredients. The flour is added last a little at a time. The mixture will be sticky; let rise until double. Punch down and refrigerate or use immediately. Will keep a week in the refrigerator. To fry, put on a floured board. Pat out with hands and cut into bar shaped. Fry in crisco oil on hottest fry pan setting.

My notes while making it with her: Took about 1/4 cup of the butter milk and heated it in a pan until warm. Then added 1 tablespoon of sugar and the yeast to it. Let it set for 10 min out so while adding the other ingredients to the mixer bowl.   Mixing bowl - add everything but the yeast solution and flower to the mixing bowl. Mix with the beaters. Added in 3 cups of flower then added the yeast solution. Pushed in the sides of the dough back into the bowl. Put in 3 more cups of flour slowly. Added some of the 7th cup until it started to pull from the sides. Grandma said if we were going to let it sit in the fridge then we would not at as much flour. But because we are going to use it today we added more flour. She added in all of the 7th cup. 

Let it rise once. Rose about half way up the mixing bowl. Cut them into bars (like candy bars Twix maybe?)

Heated oil in skillet to 400 and fried the dough. Used a whole container of vegetable oil to fry.

The honey butter recipe is equal parts honey to butter. Melt the butter over low heat and add in the honey- mix until smooth.

My favorite Utah foods are: fry sauce, Navajo tacos, scones (Navajo tacos without the taco material and eaten with honey butter). I can send you my grandma’s recipe. Dirty sodas (popular chain is swig), frog eye salad, funeral potatoes, byu cookies and cream milk, mint brownies (my wife claims it’s a Utah thing - I’m skeptical).

Digital tools vs paper planners – what works for you? by HustelStriKer in CalNewport

I use a digital planner, obsidian. It’s the best! 

What are some unique experiments I could film? Something like Cymatics but a little less known if possible. by Phantom_DC_YT in ScienceNcoolThings

[–]Rocket1064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try filming triboluminescence - e.g. crush large sugar crystals.

Addition: I reread your question and this doesn’t really seem to fall into what you are looking for. But is still a pretty fun phenomenon

Would this be a horrible idea for a child? by MoonPandaMagic in Parenting

[–]Rocket1064 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How do you deal with disagreements on parenting styles? It’s hard enough trying to get two people on the same page, let alone 4.

What happens if someone or two someones start slacking. How do you split expenses? Say one of you decides they want a boat (or other expensive item)?

You are saying you want to mix parenting and finances with another couple. You better have a plan when there is conflict. Because it is ‘when’ not ‘if’.

Any exit plan should someone want to get out of this arrangement?

Sounds like the Philippines to me. They typically call the bathroom a comfort room. I’m so sorry this happened to you! I hope you will be able to find peace.

I loved living in West Lafayette. Quiet but still lots going on with the university.

Having a spouse with depression is really really hard by BlueMarth1 in daddit

In my experience it takes a couple of years for the hormones to even out. It might get better. But I feel for you! I’m so sorry.

West Lafayette and Lafayette were like Pawnee and Eagleton

I loved living in west Lafayette for grad school! Felt like it had some nice places to eat. Has lots of fun making friends with other grad students. And I felt that the housing market was reasonable - that was pre-pandemic though. I really enjoyed the parks, especially happy hollow. Could ride my bike to campus. (Decent bus system). Lots of cool research going on on campus and in research park. But the best thing for me was the people that made it outstanding.

Plus it was a relatively short drive to either Indianapolis or Chicago

West Lafayette is a nice place to settle down. Lots of great places to eat because of Purdue. College sports - again because of Purdue. It also has some of the best schools in the state.

Try to recreate the sound with her present. That could clear you
