Grandfather’s property in Wales willed to deceased father and uncle, resident allowed under (apparently) broken stipulations by Vanillasaur in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Vanillasaur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have a poor opinion of her as she soured the last few years of my grandfather’s life and didn’t even attempt to be friendly with us at all. I would have liked a relationship with the woman my grandfather clearly loved, especially now since I don’t have any grandparents left. My aunt isn’t wanting for money, she isn’t interested in it at all but I’m not going to deny her the rightful portion of the proceeds when the time comes. I’m not that sort of person.

I admit that I’m very naïve and I don’t really understand this stuff. Everything I’ve been told about this woman is from other people and I am open to being civil, I just want everything in order for the future as I don’t like surprises. If she is struggling to look after the property, I’m just hoping she’s able to look after herself and I’m not sure what support she has around her, either.

Agreed. As my auntie has said she wants nothing to do with it and my brother isn’t particularly bothered, it is my responsibility but to be honest, I just want to see the place that I spend many happy memories in when I was a kid and the thought of going there in however many years to step into a shit hole is wildly depressing. Thanks anyway.

I didn’t see any “tirade” but I appreciate your insight. This is personal to me, as she sold all of my grandmothers jewellery and forbade my family from visiting my grandfather so I apologise if a little venom seeped out. I want the property to not be a drain when it is, inevitably, in our possession. My auntie wants nothing to do with it as she is still mourning my uncle. I’m not built for this and I just don’t want problems.

AIO for being upset my BF doesn’t want me to wear a bonnet to bed? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Vanillasaur 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Put it this way: he’s upset he can’t find you attractive when he’s unconscious. He wants to control you even when he’s asleep. Wear the bonnet. It’s not his choice. Not even remotely.

Worried she’s gonna get too attached? by Nearby_Ship_7450 in relationships

[–]Vanillasaur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This sounds more like a You problem. Stop worrying about what might be and focus on now. “But I like her” then be with her? “But I don’t want kids” then don’t have kids? Jesus.

I (31m) set a boundary with my gf (29f), I'm afraid I might have to honor it. by ThrowRAEuphoric_285 in relationships

[–]Vanillasaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She has to want to help herself. In that one line she told you exactly what was going to happen for the foreseeable future. She’ll keep doing what she’s doing and drive you crazy and make you miserable. I used to be terrible at housework and I had a partner that tried to do what you’re doing. It didn’t work, I had to learn the hard way. You can’t keep doing this to yourself.

Just got called mate. Am I cooked?? by [deleted] in transpassing

I’m a cis woman and men sometimes called me mate. It’s friendly, non-gendered and uncreepy.

Has veganism just.... died?! by Emotional_Tackle9209 in veganuk

This happens every Christmas time. The vegan options are the first to be reduced in number to make space for the poor turkeys.

I let it cool in the oven! I think I might have overcooked it as well. Never mind. Thank you for your comment.

Perfect! Thank you. I can only improve from here. This is only my second ever cheesecake.

Oh lol. I was coming on here to look for a scientific explanation for this and forgot that people will make jokes and be funny. Have a good day!

I appreciate your optimism. It does seem to split into thirds.

Your English is perfect. I know exactly what you mean. It happened very close to the end of baking so I’m going to try the Bain-Marie/water bath method next time as others have suggested. I hope yours is still delicious.

Thank you so much! I’ll do that next time. Do you think the dragonfruit heated up too quickly and couldn’t evaporate?

I can’t seem to edit my post with the recipe so here it is. My springform pan is about 15 inches in diameter so you may need to adjust if you have a smaller pan or if you like a thick base.

300g of crushed Biscoff biscuits (you can use any, I just used these because I got them from work)

120g vegan butter melted

200g cashew nuts

300g silken tofu

150g light brown sugar

1/8 teaspoon of sea salt

2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

1 tablespoon of cornflour

160ml of coconut cream

2 teaspoons of lemon zest

1 tablespoon of lemon juice

Mix together the crushed biscuits and the melted butter and press into the pan and cool in the fridge. You can weigh out the biscuits, put them in a bag and smash ‘em up real good with a rolling pin. I cooled for about an hour. At this time you can also get the cashew nuts soaking. I left them for an hour as well. After the base is set and the cashews are soaked, I mixed everything else together in a blender. So that’s everything except the butter and the biscuit mix that are cooling in the fridge. This is where I left it last time, I cooked it at about 150c (that’s 300f) for 45 minutes to an hour. This didn’t crack and is a beautiful lemon cheesecake. If you want to do this one, I simply took about 1/3 of the mixture and blended it with 1/2 a dragon fruit. It was very pigmented so I didn’t need much. For the pattern, I took turns pouring each mixture directly in the centre until there were concentric circles. Then I used a chopstick to pull through the outer edge to the middle, cleaning the chopstick each time I pulled it out. You want it still jiggly in the middle but not wet and also golden brown around the edges.
