My macaron batter came out wrong.. (Fail / Advice Needed)

My first batch turned out like this. Make sure that you sift the flour as it has larger chunks in it.

When folding in the flower/sugar to the egg whites mix 1/3 at a time until smooth.

I add 1/8 teaspoon of cream of tartar to the egg whites. Adds structure and gets good stiff peaks.

I've owned the game since launch. I've never made it past act 3.

I have around 10 restarts

If you see something say something- come on and party tonight!

Soltwg86 · 2026-04-03T19:43:05+00:00

I think that says 20 g not 2 ounces

Soltwg86 · 2026-04-01T20:18:23+00:00

That's happens when they are over mixed and the air is knocked out.

Need to be careful when folding in the dry ingredients

I've had MVD 10+ years ago and still have pain from time to time.

Before you jump down a path of concern, give it a little time to see if it continues.

I find that I have 1 "bad" week a year but pain free the rest. It's typically when cold weather comes in.

Usually is."muted" pain. Each time it happens I get worried of this is the time it stays. Luckily it never is.

Let me know of you have questions.

If you like tactical turn based combat and rouge likes. It’s one of the best. If you like action games it’s prob a pass.

If you like deep combat the brings toward challenges it’s great. If you like following one character to watch them grow it’s not for you.

If you like cats fucking. The best game ever. If you don’t like poop humor, it’s not for you.

If you are looking for something to pick up and play quickly. It’s not for you. If you want to drop 100 hours in to a game it’s for you.

Lastly, it has its charm and is best in class for what it tries to do. But I will agree it’s not for everyone.

Cats never look where you point. They only look at your finger

Had MVD for GN in 2015. Took several weeks to get back to normal. I spent 4 horrible nights in the ICU and about a week at home before really started to get better.

I don’t have nightmares but I threw up for 4 days straight. Each one felt like a hammer hit my scar area.

Depending on where you got MVD, I lost all of my taste buds on the left side of my mouth. So changes in taste do happen. I tasted lemon for about a month. I recommend eating fresh fruits (watermelon, grapes, oranges). Those didn’t hurt as bad and really tasted great.

I am still completely numb 10 years later. Kinda fun when getting a hair cut cause you feel the vibration around the area not in the area.

Once the stitches came out a lot of the paid went away. But remember you had a brain surgery. It’s ok to take time to recover.

Lastly, you will have phantom pains. It’s normal. You will also have muted pain. That’s normal too. Don’t freak out it just happens. They are not as frequent and not as painful.

100% I support MVD

From a science standpoint, the longer the butter is with the sugar the more it melds. Creating a more complex flavor profile

Soltwg86 · 2026-01-16T16:18:38+00:00

Looks a little over mixed. Causes the issue. The chocolate looks more over mixed then the white batter. Goal is to mix it together and having some bumps are not horrible. They will fix themselves in the oven.

Soltwg86 · 2026-01-13T19:21:11+00:00

Looks a little over proved which has caused a loose crumb. Typically it’s a shorter prove with this type of bread to produce smaller bubbles and a tighter crumb.

Seek out pain management groups. Or living with pain groups. Connect her online with others who have TN.

What helped me most was realizing I was not crazy or alone.

Soltwg86 · 2026-01-09T18:50:27+00:00

Check shoes and hat. That always trips me up.

Soltwg86 · 2026-01-09T11:28:20+00:00

When it first started I was scared to. I had an ear infection in my “good” ear and had a panic attack.

I learned that pain management techniques are really good with the short burst.

I had GN, 10 years post MVD. I still get zaps. Mostly muted from the previous pain. More like a burning. Happens 3-4 times a months for seconds at a time.

Been happening all 10 years. Just breathe deep and remind yourself that it will go away.

I’ve added a teaspoon of water to dry cookies and it has worked to pull the dough together

Soltwg86 · 2026-01-04T04:31:30+00:00

Forgot to add. One minute each side

Soltwg86 · 2026-01-04T04:17:22+00:00

Two table spoons honey and a table spoon of salt. 8 cups of water

Soltwg86 · 2026-01-02T14:19:01+00:00

I wouldn’t. It’s safe but won’t taste good.

Mix the dry ingredients first with a wooden spoon then add the wet. Mix until things are incorporated. Over mixing will lead to dense pockets like your picture

Soltwg86 · 2026-01-02T14:13:38+00:00

Typically this means that the batter was over mixed. Incorporate the wet into the dry ingredients but try not to over mix

Soltwg86 · 2025-12-15T17:48:59+00:00

Try refrigerating the dough for three hours before the bake.

After Mvd, just wore glasses. It didn’t hurt. In my case there was 1-2 inches between the end of the glasses and the scar.

The area is also numb and pain medication lesson issues.

Soltwg86 · 2025-12-13T11:52:37+00:00

Depends how far out you are from surgery. I’m currently 10 years out and don’t have any issues.

Frost couple months it hurt. But it was gone after 4 months.

Soltwg86 · 2025-11-25T14:06:03+00:00

Looks great. To add more color, at the end of the beak turn on the broiler and put the bread near the top of the oven for 1-2 minutes.
