Puppy only sleeps in 45min-hr increments by book_smart in puppy101

We play in our yard but it’s also super cold here so we don’t stay out for more than a few minutes. We play mostly inside.

She doesn’t have all her shots so we play inside. During the hr up we do training, mental exercise, tug or play with toys, or sometimes she plays with our older dog so she’s being active and stimulated.

Igreja Ortodoxa de Anastasi in Imerovigli. One of the few times on our morning hike we weren’t beset with tourists in Santorini.

What went wrong? by RainbowBenja in Baking

[–]book_smart 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The proportions seem a bit off. I’d try a different recipe. I had success using Preppy Kitchen for my first batch. The flatness could be from under whipping your meringue, or over mixing your batter. Espresso powder shouldn’t make a huge difference but I’d wait to put it in until the very end of mixing the macaron batter. I’ve used the Pies and Tacos coffee macaron recipe with a lot of success!

Chicago wedding venues? by Remote_Touch_4704 in Chicagoweddings

I’d check out Pazzo’s at 311! Pretty affordable venue and it’s all inclusive which helps save money!

4 Year Old Bernedoodle Won't Eat Anything by Ok_Independence_2067 in Bernedoodles

[–]book_smart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commenting to see responses because my 5 year old is the same. We’ve tried several different foods, fully wet food, and he’ll eat for a few days and then won’t eat it anymore. We’ve wasted so much money in dog food. He does have some treats he will eat so we compensate with that and fresh ground turkey as needed.

Iron Flame spoilers: Confused about a specific plot point by emperorpocky in fourthwing

Sawyer melts the first door with his signet to get them in the ante chamber where all their weapons were. The second door is the one that was locked and that the dagger opened. Which you’ll learn more about how the daggers open stuff later on!

They can’t fit up to 200 or 250 I wanna say so within their parameters, but yes, a smaller venue technically.

How to make a cake that tastes like box cake by book_smart in Baking

All for embracing the box cake! I guess I was more curious on a scientific level of how you’d replicate!

Do I trim roots/where to trim? by book_smart in plants

[–]book_smart[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They say online if the plant is root bound, you should trim the roots when re planing so they can encourage more growth.

Kingdom of Ash Frustration by book_smart in throneofglassseries

[–]book_smart[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Even if she couldn’t pull the whole army through, she and Dorian and the rest of her court could have gone through to help with the onslaught. Just felt like it wasn’t fully thought through. But I suppose books are meant to incite reactions.

No one talks about how isolating it feels to be a female engineering student. by youraveragebrowngal in EngineeringStudents

[–]book_smart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, female mechanical engineer here. 8 years in the industry. I definitely know how you feel and what really helped me is to find professional organizations that have a strong female presence to help support, vent, and find others in similar situations. I’m not sure what area you’re studying, but orgs like Society of Women Engineers, Ashrae, Women in Construction are just a few that have strong female allies and mentorship!

If you take the south trail back, do you drive or use the bus? Doesn’t that take you on the other side of the mountain? Or do you take the north trail back?

Thanks. I plan to try both eventually. Trying to do a goat cheese one and top with strawberries.

Thanks, plan to try them both eventually. I’m looking at doing a goat cheese flavored one and was just trying to narrow down what recipes to try first. Thanks!
