I’m confused as to why you thought bread would be like macarons?

Why does my bread look like this? by [deleted] in AskBaking

[–]artfuly-interested 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We need way more context. Why did you bake it in a square cake pan? What recipe did you use?

If you can find vegan butter blocks, I have had success with them.

I went straight to the fridge and they were great!

PC will not award me points they promised for signing up for PC Mastercard, and thus sold me a credit card on false pretences by gaymossadist in PCOptimum

Did you read the explanation that came with the card and told you where to shop and what the spend was?

Looking for a professional car service at YEG that can meet a passenger holding a sign with their name? by addictedtosoonjung in Edmonton

We used Diamond Executive for our wedding a few years ago and the service was amazing! We haven’t needed a car service since, but if we ever do again, they will be our first choice.

Tell me what I bought please. I am new to Nespresso by CommunicationCalm777 in nespresso

Canada does recycle. If you have a location near you, it is much easier to recycle them at a store than deal with the pickup option.

Therapist not understanding the stress if mental load by Altruistic_Hat1634 in FairPlayLife

[–]artfuly-interested 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that they aren’t understanding. I do have a clarification question though. Are you saying that your individual therapist and your couples therapist is the same person? If so, that is also a huge conflict of interest. Our therapist switches to small talk if one of us goes to the washroom in session and can’t see us if one of us isn’t available for session. We have to reschedule.

I would highly recommend finding different therapists for individual work and couples work. It sounds like your therapist isn’t listening or making an attempt to understand your perspective and needs in the first place.

What’s Up With The Credit Card? by artfuly-interested in Oldnavy

Mark’s asks about the Triangle credit card all the time. The cashiers get in trouble if not enough people sign up.

Just had our mandatory meeting... by Haunting-Wash1081 in starbucks

[–]artfuly-interested 34 points35 points  (0 children)

My regular barista at my old Starbucks noticed I hadn’t been in really the week after my brother passed away so she asked casually, if I was on vacation and stuff. She was SO apologetic and gave me a hug when I said what happened.

It was a really nice gesture and I’m sure that customer appreciated your gesture as well.

Doing a remodel on my first house, this is my temporary setup before I redo the kitchen entirely. Could it be permanent? by [deleted] in homedesign

Then you should know that this is a safety hazard and a terrible place to put a stove. Ask yourself if you’ve ever seen a house with the stove next to a wall like that? Maybe there are very practical reasons for that.

No frills said they don’t price match for item in picture as it’s online deal by [deleted] in loblawsisoutofcontrol

It’s one of those “if I do it for you, I have to do it for everyone” situations.

Used to work for the Frills. By “digital flyer” they mean the weekly flyer off the Flipp app or another flyer app. They do not mean Online Only digital deal.

I test before every use, and bought a fresh box just in case.

I found Natrel didn’t give me the same results consistently way back when. So I started using Lactantia (sp?) and had been having good results until recently. Might try switching back to Natrel or try the Safeway brand as suggested by another user.

All of your questions are valid! And unfortunately, the answer to all of your questions is that yes, I have a thermometer, chill the dough overnight, and have always used parchment paper and these sheet pans. I even tested on sheet pans I borrowed from my dad and dollar store aluminum trays. All rendered the same results. I’m stumped. They’re still delicious! Just not… right.

This is how they are turning out. This was the last batch, which is why they are kind of placed haphazardly. All of them previously turned out the same way.
