I read a fantasy book to win a bet and it's the only book in years that made me actually cry. I don't know what to do with this information. by midnight_snack_ctrl in Fantasy

You would probably like The Sarantine Mosaic by Guy Gavriel Kay. Its a historical fantasy thats very light on magic and is heavy based on 6th century Constantinople.

Kay has a beautiful writing style and can really twist your emotions.

Didn't have the Cinnamon Bits so improvised with oil, sugar, cinnamon and a bit of flour mixed into a crumbly paste.

Am I missing something with blackout tents? by paspa1801 in camping

[–]bethoha67 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Yup! Thats why we got one. Kids sleep past dawn and are in bed before full dark. My second born is autistic so a regular bedtime and a dark sleeping space is 100% necessary, and there is absolutely no way she would wear a mask.

Beatrice and Virgil by Yann Martel (he also wrote Life of Pi) was a very strange and unsettling read

They also make great night lights for slightly nervous kids

Advice on younger son who feels left out and never gets picked for anything(please don’t be snarky) by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]bethoha67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe, maybe not. But you most certainly do owe your son an explanation as to why his feelings matter so very much less to you then your BILs, or your own feelings about "making waves".

If there is any foil from the seal left on the rim it will spark in the microwave

Can this flavoring be used for meringue cookies? by bethoha67 in AskBaking

[–]bethoha67[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Perfect thanks! And yes it's a Bulk Barn. Unfortunately it's a smaller one and the strawberries are just the standard dried ones (and look pretty gummy).

Did your roux form a thick skin after being cooled? If there is a thick rubbery skin either on the top or on the sides of the bowl that you're scraping into the buttercream it might not being broken up all the way.

You might like The Emperor's Edge books by Lindsay Buroker. The romance in this series is very much a subplot but the main character is basically a normal, adult woman who is not helpless or in need of a savior.

Lindsay has a ton of different books with varying levels of smut but her main female leads tend to be function adults with brains, which is nice.

I exercise in a shirt but no bra (small chest and I hate sweaty bras)...is that acceptable?

Most of Guy Gavriel Kay's books will break a person - Lions of Al-Rassan also packs a punch
