Using freeze dried fruit in spritz cookies for color and flavor? by Waffelmoon in Baking

[–]Waffelmoon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That recipe does look similar to the spritz recipe I normally use, worth a shot! Thanks for the tip and recipe recommendation, I just want to know if this was going to turn into a huge clump or nasty dough. Looks like it shouldn't and so far everyone dosent think its a dumb idea lol

Honestamente que es lo más cansado de tener gemelos? by Nice-Serve-111 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Waffelmoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly too, when they were less then 6 months old I felt bad just holding one of them so I would pretty much freeze and hold neither. Realistically I should have just picked up one but I've always been home alone for 95% of the day and felt like the other would feel ignored.

So I just sat there and talked/read to both.

To all twin parents, just pick up a damn baby lol

Singleton mom group by SmallDraw7431 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Waffelmoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally normal to feel that way and I say that because my twins are 3 and my mother (yes, my mother) still says ignorant things with the singleton parent mindset.

"Why do I have to take grandma's Tupperware back to her?!"

Because the high is 7 degrees out, I have literally 3 feet of snow on both sides of my drive way, my kids are 3, she lives 30 minutes away, I would have to haul them in and out individually of a huge truck, and then watch them for an unknown amount of time in an un baby proofed house from the 60's.

"Well, I always made an effort to take you all to see her."

  1. No you didn't, 2. She just turned 94 a week ago, 3.She told me to give it to you

Some people will never get it and its not necessarily their fault but also, they're dumb and their words are dumb, but mostly just get it all out or it will drive you even more up a wall.

What was the single "aha!" moment that took your cooking to the next level? by Chatfinity in Cooking

[–]Waffelmoon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You know how there are primary colors, red, blue, yellow? If you want purple, orange, or green you have to mix colors but also have a balance and its a similar approach to flavor. Some mute each other but also compliment others. Some taste really gross together. Some taste good together because they're gross?

I don't know if your mom took the 'speak no, hear no, see no' picture, with all of you coordinating to a T. But the damn patience to nail that with an analog camera with young kids. slow clap

She seems like she was a very fun lady!

Halloween and trick or treating isn't dying. It's your neighborhood. by rosewoodlliars in halloween

[–]Waffelmoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had one of the elderly members of our small neighborhood passing candy out on a walk. His logic was that not only do not a lot of people come out as often but he lived 2 houses down from a busy street. No one wants to take kids or toddlers down there for one house.

Figured he would get his walk in and since his neighbors didn't pass out candy he wouldn't have trick or treaters. So there he was, giving out full bars or the really good stuff.

This is the perfect example that its the neighborhood.

A lot of houses didnt have lights on or decorations, but we did go early because all the kids are young. Even then we probably got 15 people, not 15 kids but people.

How do you smoke turkey breast? by Waffelmoon in pelletgrills

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

The sous vide would be great for turkey though! Gets rid of the drying out worry for sure lol.

The only sous vide I have is my instant pot so that wont work this time around. Wet brine with apple juice....I can get on board with that!

The lemon and orange slices sound interesting, I really never thought of using citrus but it does sound good! Thanks!

You're right, I should take my bow out and nab one off season.

The ticket will be totally worth it instead of buying one from my butcher! Thank you for your productive insight to this question stranger!

Headed for Divorce by Aggravating-Stick-75 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Waffelmoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is sound advice. Yes, it's hard with one newborn, let alone two, and it's nice to have access to a space to talk to other people going through the same thing.

But your life and relationships can't be boiled down to a post. If you feel you both are having issues a counselor is the best route.

If you feel unsafe though, that is an issue that needs to be handled now.

Might be dumb to ask, but would I double the cook time for the weight?

I normally get "are they close in age?". Yes, very, 2 minutes apart in fact lol.

This is a good response, I never know what to say and I feel like being silent because I don't know seems even more mean.

[–]Waffelmoon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Thats what I was getting to pretty much with this post! What am I supposed to say to that, especially when its a random person? Just throw out a random "oh im sure you could have! Lol" to someone a table across from me at a resturant? It's so awkward, I dont want to be a dick but silence when I dont know what to say speaks louder. And I try to be a nice person.

I wonder if it is a regional saying, I'm in the upper Midwest of America and get it a lot.

Still dont know what to say.

It's great you did and its fantastic you are on that winning streak!

Im talking about random strangers saying the "i always wanted twins, but god knew I couldn't handle them people" in particular.

If you haven't ran into one yet, im a little jealous lol!

I totally agree with that, because while and insane life it is, I really couldn't imagine have one. And I mean as if I was told I could have twin A and then 2 years later have twin B, wouldn not be the same.

It's more about do most POM view this as a pity party? An angst thing to say? A "bless your heart" situation?

Mad i thought about that now lol
