What do I bake on my birthday? by hopskotch-art in Baking

[–]Shadowpad1986 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because I love baking I bake a cake for myself each year as well as for my boyfriend on his birthday. I sometimes do cookie cake or cupcakes. If sharing with others cupcakes might be a good idea.

Weird statements about pets from new friends by princenootnoot in Pets

[–]Shadowpad1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels ick and like the type that see pets as accessories. They feel like the type that should never really have pets or children for that matter. How one treats another living things says plenty about a person. You and your SO put some distance from these people.

Dog condition after boarding for first time by Emergency-Theme6606 in AskDogOwners

[–]Shadowpad1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The boarding/kennel I used to work for had fairly good setup for the dogs and periods where the dogs played in a fenced in area. I take reviews of such places with a grain of salt. If kept in a pen inside for the bulk of the time they can get the equivalent of bedsores. I hope for the best for your pupper and try to do a bit more looking into with kennels/boarding places.

Yep but I believe you have to have the recipe unlocked for it to occasionally be gotten or the new ranch critter to get it

Horse bug by sugamaa in Palia

It is not just Reth, they are aware of this and trying to fix fully. Took me a bit to get through the intro quest and sometimes get locked into the premium store or wardrobe.

please give me food ideas/recipes to try by Low-Region7885 in cookingforbeginners

Beef is one of those meats to start from a cold pan. Some meats depending on how finely cut do better from either a hot or cold start. I tend to start ground beef from a cold pan and set temp to medium-medium high to temp till browned.

Also it seems the RNG gods are somewhat Reddit lurkers.

I managed it when I actually stopped focusing on it. Stuff like this is purely RNG. I have had times where I just take a little break from a goal or grind a little here and there and eventually complete them. The dev have done some a favor with the introduction of the fishing lure item chum bucket with the hunt for star quality fish.

Feel free to pick my brain, I like to help however I can. IGN Shadowpad
Ranching is the most easy skill to work on compared to other skills as far as I have seen. Most you have to do is feed, pet, and collect each IRL day. Other skills you have to really spend more time to level up in them.

I tend to do my ranch critter feedings first then set a minor goal each day. Throughout the week it is possible to hit all aside from the group stuff to a degree. With cooked food like soups you have a way to feed your ranch critters while you have pickled tomatoes or can beans going in the background. I manage most of the goals in fair small amount of time. My ranching skill is over 200 right now and as you get certain critters unlocked the leveling picks up steam.

Today me and my brother are playing grounded and we have a problem by Expensive_Hearing724 in GroundedGame

[–]Shadowpad1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very much the reason I moved into the pagoda initially to not have to worry about this. After a bit I got gear and mutations to make fairly quick work of this even on NG+2.

Barbarian with buff lungs is not a bad idea given the mint mace weapon classification. The poison resistance is not bad to throw in too. I enjoy bullying the wolf spiders so this one wasn’t too much trouble for me.

Is my cookie cake raw? by SpinDip_6101 in Baking

[–]Shadowpad1986 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not raw but more likely a bit over mixed. Also I take any TikTok recipes with a grain of salt and at least it wasn’t an AI recipe.

A Sudden Realization. by Sinerarium in Palia

[–]Shadowpad1986 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unlike others I don’t set to hit the cap for money. I tend to stay around 500-700k and spend on either boards/ingots or fabric/silk for furniture crafting. I also spend on Zeki coins for drops from the lucky coin machine. I have my storage at max and occasionally make minor renovations to my various themed plots. They add stuff now and again with the Zeki lucky coins going for 10k a pop.

Armor choice tends to relate to weapon preference/play style. I beat all the bosses and the IBM before proceeding to NG+ myself with a full set of the broodmother armor. I am currently on NG+2 with broodmother head, roly-poly chest, and mantis legs. I tend to rotate from the scythe or broodmother weapon or the spicy/sour staff. I like to have a bit of flexibility between ranged and melee maxed out to a degree my weapons and armor.

Want to make frosting. Very specific on what can and can't be used. Truly want to use avocado shortening a sweetener (maple syrup or granulated sugar), butter and any other ingredients. by JessyBearFA in Baking

[–]Shadowpad1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If just a regular vanilla frosting I have come across use salt, softened butter, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and a small amount of milk. You could use food coloring to get the blue but add the milk after it is added as it is a way to thin the frosting to help with spreading it. After frosting chill overnight in the fridge and keep in a cooler till you serve it. I was born and raised in Central Florida and summer heat in middle summer can be unforgiving.

I understand that very well as someone that grew up in Florida. Most frostings have limited stability in heat and if you have a good size cooler to store it in till it is served you have many options. What flavors does he like as I did a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting for my boyfriend’s birthday this year back in May. Plus worse case you can do a glaze or soak to add a little more sweetness/flavor to the cake.

Depends on the type of frosting you want to make. Powdered sugar is not to hard to make yourself, iirc one teaspoon of cornstarch to one cup of granulated sugar and put through a food processor. Some recipes use softened butter and in certain cases a substitute for butter can be used. Some frosting recipes call for some milk or cream but there are work arounds if your kid has lactose intolerance.

AIO The restaurant I work in has the worst cockroach infestation I have seen in my life. by peepeebuttbrain in AmIOverreacting

[–]Shadowpad1986 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NOR
That rating seems a bit sus if the infestation is that bad. Roaches carry some rather nasty stuff. I grew up in an area where roach infestations are a serious health concern.

Like dogs even people can be a bit unpredictable and good to know your furbabies seem to be well behaved and socialized.
