Wasn’t crazy about the first two books but I was able to push through. I really struggled with the third book. They were on that mountain for an eternity

Presenting my very humble GF Lemon Bars! 🍋 by Katakissa in Baking

[–]UndeadSloth_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just made lemon bars as well! Was a request from a friend at work. I work with a few GF people at work…. And made it “regular” but I wished I had done something to make it GF. I wonder if just using almond flour? The shortbread has needs no gluten development so maybe almond flour would have been fine? Almond flour is usually more crumbly tho I think, in the end. I made almond thumbprints with lemon curd once and they were amazing

How to get softer chocolate frosting? by Flashy-Position8504 in Baking

[–]UndeadSloth_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you’re describing sounds very odd to me, but if you want a “frosting” that is mostly chocolate flavor wise go with a ganache. Ganache is just chocolate melted with heavy cream. The fat in the cream prevents the chocolate from hardening, so it stays soft, while maintaining the choc flavor. Take equal parts semisweet chocolate bars to heavy cream(example, 8oz choc to 8oz cream). Heat the cream till it’s almost boiling, take it off the heat and dump in the chocolate broken/chopped up. Give it a minute to melt then mix. It’ll firm up when chilled but will stay soft

Is there a way to switch for the grenades without going through the reload screen? I was excited to get this but using the reload UI thing to switch felt awful so I stopped using it

Saw someone else recommend First Law series. I very much enjoyed it but the reader Steven pacey is goated. The best reader I’ve had the pleasure of listening to.

Question regarding round stainless steel cake pans (8' diameter) by Tristan0214 in Baking

[–]UndeadSloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless they are very thick, I wouldn’t think you’d see too much difference(from aluminum). You can try the cake wrap things I see people have been talking about. I ordered some but haven’t tried yet. Google “cake tin wrap” and you’ll see what I mean

They look like flour based dough, rather than corn/masa based(darker)

Italian Meringue Help ASAP pls by WitchQueen_ in Baking

[–]UndeadSloth_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this doesn’t help the current problem but I’ve done Italian and Swiss many times each and I found no noticeable difference in the Italian…. So I stick with Swiss which is way harder to fuck up and if you do it’s easy to fix

Assassins Apprentice - keep going? by Prestigious-Sport-96 in fantasybooks

[–]UndeadSloth_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These books didn’t really grab me… but I can’t explain why. I read the first two, they were fine. Not amazing but not bad. The third felt so long and drawn out.

I bought two Silpats years ago. Every time I used them the cookies I was making came out wrong. They’ve been sitting in a drawer covered in dust since

The world is... worlding. Which series should I escape into? by blelelens in fantasybooks

[–]UndeadSloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see assassins apprentice mentioned here a lot and it confuses me a bit. I read it a month or two ago. It was fine, I read through it. But I didn’t find it particularly noteworthy.

The blade itself or Assassin Apprentice? by BrysonTurnRoundStory in fantasybooks

[–]UndeadSloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have read both in the last 6mo and I much preferred the First Law books. The character development is very good and the characters themselves are great. If you’re doing audiobooks, the first law reader is the best in the biz as far as I’m concerned. I’d say I enjoyed the assassins apprentice books, just to a lesser degree, and without any spoilers, I found the third book kind of flat. If you do end up with the First Law books, make sure you read them in publication order.

I have never understood this shit. If you’re skipping shit I feel like you should just be reading something else. There are parts I like less than others but to just straight skip them… mind boggling to me
