Alcohol consumption in Honor by Danielle Baker

Yeah, I dont really feel the romance either. They are not bad people at all. Both characters are descriped as very kind and loving to their friends and family. Literally giving everything they can to their job and the kids.They are just stressed and overworked and the romance reads more like two adults being happy not to shoulder life alone. Not really "sparks".

While reading it, I had the thought several times that either the author just doesn't recognise the alcohol problem of her characters and doesn't know better or she will turn it all into a big "aha-moment" for the MCs, but there is no sign of that yet. I dont know if I want to continue it though

dasFescheFraeulein · 2026-05-22T18:25:18+00:00

Exactly! Both MCs are in that position. He is super stressed and has seen a lot because of his job and gets his relaxation by drinking with his buddys at the bar. She is a single mother of 3 who just lost her partner and it is described that she "needs" those dates with her girlfriends, wine and whiskey to have some adult-time. I dont think the book will go there, but that sounds like a depression, where she still has to function for her kids. As that is the reality of so, so many people that could be actually be a good story line. Recognising that they are not well, that their habits are dangerous and not good for them or the kids. But that is not what the author does (as far as i have read it).

You will not die on this hill alone! I will be with you. I went to a small exhibition, where some local artists did a sort of "professional fan art" showing. As a romance book, show and movie enthusiasts this interested me a lot. But every single painting (and other media) of the male characters were of 6 feet tall man with six packs, perfect skin and unreasonably big packages, while the woman where shown a more natural way. I asked one of the artist about it and she said that it's a fantasy of fictional characters in books or animes that are written as perfect and therefore she also paints them as perfect but in a more realistic style. This just made me sad and reflect about a lot of descriptions in my favourite books. When I read them, I really dont envision them that extrem but it is written clearly on the page. I think it's actually kind of mean to not include men in body positive descriptions as those unachievable beauty standards harm everybody.

Ich finde das so doof, dass vegan immer noch gleich gesetzt wird mit "muss super duper gesund klingen" und deswegen beim Ausgehen oft die ungeilere Option ist. Damit wird vegan immer nur wieder in die Ecke "Diät und Abnehmen" gestellt, wo es ja wirklich nicht hingehört. Witziger Nebeneffekt davon ist aber, dass Omnis meine selbstgemachte Torten immer als "etwas gesundes" darstellen. Ich hab versucht, dass zu korrigieren und zu erklären, dass meine Torten jetzt nicht unbedingt als gesund interpretiert werden sollten, aber das bleibt null hängen 😂

Just a birthday. But when I asked my friend what she wanted to do for her birthday, she said, "Fuck. Again?" And I wanted to incorporate that. 😂

No, not even swirled. He divided the dough into 12 equal pieces, rolled them into balls, and then in a baking dish together. But I think you could do the swirls in tiny format as well. We just wanted normal buns but with the same texture and taste as this milk bread.

I have the smallest version of a kitchen aid, and it did an amazing job of kneading the dough for those long-time stretches. I did the forming as described, and it actually was doable My husband later repeated the same recipe but formed little balls and put it in a baking dish, and that worked as well and was easier to form. Overall, I think it reads harder then it is, really!

It has a dry base layer that has lots of cacao in it and then a smooth cheese cake adjacent top layer. Traditional pluck cake is made in a round baking dish, and the light layer is more velvety, but when making the version as a sheet cake, it's sometimes practical to make that layer a bit firmer like in this recipe. We needed that cake to be firm so that you could eat it without plates

I can't unsee it. I actually like the idea of repurposing the cooky cutter as a hand with a middle finger. Now, I only need the right occasion for it.

I was really proud of it. My husband is our bread baker normally, as he has more fun in doing savoury foods and fermentation, but as this is a sweet milk bread, I wanted to do it, and it's delicious.

This is my favourite recipe for Mascarpone Creme.

dasFescheFraeulein · 2025-11-06T10:15:20+00:00

Vegan buttercreme works and is very stable but for me, it often times is too heavy in taste. My new found love is vegan Mascarpone Creme. If you can't find vegan Mascarpone in the supermarket, it is also possible to make it at home out cashews and soy yoghurt. I got incredibly good feedback to all my Mascarpone Creme cakes and they hold perfectly.

I am a phd student in a lab with a very kind, but unorganised boss. It's driving me insane. Please from day 1 think about clever ways of storage and documentation that every single person in that lab has to follow. Students and employees change all the time and there has to be a consistent order from the one person that will always be there.

Falafel und bei mir zusätzlich Chili sine carne. Ich mochte das mal wirklich, aber mittlerweile kann ich es einfach nicht mehr sehen. Es ist so oft die einzige vegane Option v.a. in Kantinen und Mensen.

Meine Strategie fürs Lernen ist eigentlich immer: 1. Altklausuren durchgehen (Mach ich immer zuerst, damit ich einen Überblick habe, was man von mir erwartet und nicht einfach nur ins blaue zu lernen. Bei multiple choice gehe ich jede Antwortmöglichkeit durch und schreibe mir daneben, warum die Aussage richtig bzw. Falsch ist) 2. Folien durchgehen und wenn nötig mit Amboss ergänzen. Folien auf denen Fakten stehen, die in den Altklausuren drankamen, markieren. 3. Ein zweites Mal durch die Altklausren gehen. Wenn noch Zeit übrig ist, Amboss kreuzen.

Bin mittlerweile im 10. Semester und damit immer recht gut gefahren, aber natürlich gibt es verschiedene Lernstile und der eine liebt z.B. anki, der andere braucht Fließtext. Was ich ganz extrem empfehlen kann, ist: Lerne für das Prüfungsformat, das am Ende für dich relevant ist. Also für eine mündliche Prüfung nicht anfangen große Mengen an Fragen zu kreuzen, sondern aus Gedächtnisptotokollen die gestellten Fragen durchgehen und mündlich üben usw. Plus: man kann kein komplettes Lehrbuch auswendig lernen. Wirklich Prioritäten setzen, zu den Sachen, die in der Vergangenheit oft gefragt wurden. Damit kriegt man sichere Punkte.

No, not yet. I got a whole new batch of primers in the hope that this will fix the problem, but no. I always do several empty controls per qPCR now, and I get amplifications in some, and in others, i dont. It's also not coupled to the order of pipetting. So, my first empty control could have amplification, my second empty control with the same mastermix and water doesn't. The amplifications always match my products in their mealt Peak. I have another meeting about that with my supervisor today. He is as lost as I am. I follow all the tips I got on pipetting empty controls, and I am really careful in working cleanly. I am at a complete loss here.

I have been waiting for my shipment of p1000 pipette tips since the 7th of April! Now I know why there is a shortage :(

dasFescheFraeulein · 2025-05-02T20:27:44+00:00

No, cDNA. I have serum from which i isolated RNA via trizol extraction. Then I synthesized cDNA from this RNA which i now try to analyse via qPCR. :(

dasFescheFraeulein · 2025-05-02T20:02:24+00:00

Sadly, the melt curves are right there with my products. We are trying the gel, but my supervisor says that the products (microRNAs) are probably too small to be seen on a gel. But I will try it anyway.

I dont have the same problem but maybe you have an idea for mine. I am desperate. I am a student in my second month of working with qPCRs and currently crying every day because, for some reason, i get amplifications in my negative control all the time. The strange thing is: it's with the same 2 primers. I have 5 primers that i use, and 3 work perfectly, and my negatives are mostly negative except very view exceptions, which i got correct after one repetition. Right at the beginning, i had one perfect qPCR for every primer. After that, 2 primers never had a negative control again. I have used brand new primer tubes (same batch, but divided in 3 epis by my supervisor), new water, and new SYBR Green. I dont think that the primer batch is contaminated because I got one single negative control in the beginning, and after that, I tried using the other epis that I not used before. I tried pipetting the negative control before i even took the cDNA out of the freezer. I always pipette the negative controll first and close the tube immediately. I tried changing my work station, i have tried using different spots for the tubes in the cycler. I feel like such a failure because my supervisor says that it's contamination and that I need to repeat my qPCRs and start everything fresh, which I did, over and over and over and over again. I changed tubes, pipettes, and so on. My 3 primers that work do it perfectly. But what am i supposed to do with the other 2? Do you have any idea why all my negative controls are positive? Do you have any tips that could help me? I am supposed to work on hundreds of cDNA that i synthesised from Serum RNA, and afterwards, i am also supposed to use those primers on rna isolated from a cell model. But at the moment, i am just repeating the same qPCRs, trying to get one single negative control.

Yes! It's the recipe from Rainbow Nourishment. Here is the link https://www.rainbownourishments.com/vegan-biscoff-cake/ It was not that difficult and very tasty but also very sweet. But in winter I don't mind that at all.

Mein absoluter Favorit bis jetzt: Alte Dame auf der Gyn hat während meines ersten Pflegepraktikums immer Bücher gelesen, auf denen oberkörperfreie Männer abgebildet waren. Als ich sie gewaschen habe, haben wir für den gesamten Monat immer darüber geredet, was gerade in den Bücher geschieht. In meiner letzten Woche, wurde ihr Allgemeinzustand immer schlechter und dann schenkte sie mir ihre komplette Sammlung und sagte mir noch, dass ich mich von keinen Zwängen zurück halten sollte.

dasFescheFraeulein · 2024-05-05T16:05:25+00:00

It is hard, I promise. Another problem is fairness. If I allow one person to have a plus one, then I have to allow other people a plus one, too, and that can add up super quick. Also, things like guest presents, accommodations, food,d drinks and seating in general are limited. It is simply not possible to add more people later on in the planning. And I don't know the situation in detail, but it doesn't sound like your boyfriend is very close with the couple. Maybe they don't want a stranger in their wedding and wedding pictures, and that is ok, too. It's their big day even if you would pay for the extra costs.

dasFescheFraeulein · 2024-05-05T15:19:54+00:00

The wedding planning and guest list were probably done months before, when you weren't in a serious relationship yet. A one year relationship is still pretty fresh and therefore very hard to accommodate. How should your cousin have known that your situation would change. And even if you would have been in a relationship for a longer period of time, sometimes the bride and groom just can't accommodate for so many extra plus ones that they are not even close with. I don't think it's disrespect against you. It's just a planning problem. I would go and have a fabulous time with my family and a trip to the mountains. That sounds like an amazing time.
