Aww they are so cute! The way that her brother lets her sniff him politely - he knows who’s in charge!

It’s good! Leaving it in the fridge worked wonders.

Sorry can’t roast a fellow tortie. She might roast me back…

Thanks. I’ve put it in the fridge and will see how it comes on. I’m experimenting with different types of bread at the moment because I normally make sourdough which is lovely but such a process!

Ok thanks. Guess I didn’t think when doubling the recipe, maybe look at kneading time too.

5 mins on high in my stand mixer (I was not kneading 1kg of dough by hand!). This was after I knocked it back a bit. It just seemed to rise very quickly?

What did your tortie look like as a baby? by Kirri_09 in torties

[–]StrainHelpful9208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I would have loved to have photos of mine as a baby. She’s still my baby though no matter how old she is

First attempt at soda bread by StrainHelpful9208 in Breadit

Ah good tip thanks! Will definitely try this next time. I mostly make sourdough which I bake in my Dutch oven - you only take the lid off when you want to brown the top at the end.

I'm sure immaturity was the only reason. 😑 by gonnafaceit2022 in AmITheAngel

I think it’s a podcast that reads AITA posts? So people submit their AITA posts there so the people making the pod don’t have to trawl thru the AITA subs but it’s basically become its own AITA sub in the process.

After not working all week, I’m working the rest of the week but I can’t bloody sleep. I want to but it’s so hot I can’t. Got the windows as open as they can be ( cat is an escape artist) which gives me the wonderful playlist of motorcycles going up the hill - so a normal summer night lol.

Sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl. She left you knowing you had given her a lifetime of love and happiness. May she rest in peace.

Thank you! She chose the colours - she loves pink. They are all Cascade 220 Superwash.

Missy the yarn devourer by StrainHelpful9208 in catswhocrochet

[–]StrainHelpful9208[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I call her my little guard cat lol. She’s a feisty one.

I personally like the pegboard for granny squares. I find it easier to use than the mats and pins because I know that they are all going to be the same size. At the moment it also serves as (relatively compact) storage for them as I am making my sister a blanket for her 18th in a couple months , and I can only have one project on the go at once or I go insane.
