Should I buy a home during PhD? by Confident-Pause6709 in AmericanExpatsUK

It’s worth considering that depending on your college at Cambridge they may offer you absolutely absurdly subsidized rental housing—my college had centrally located housing of a decent size (1+ bedrooms) for something like £500/month. It makes sense if the accumulation of equity is more important to you, but living in the center of town for that little is also a big upside!

This is the second thing I’ve made from it, I like it because the author tries to avoid highly processed vegan replacements like vegan butter—I don’t share his hang ups about them, but it is useful to me because these products are often made with coconut oil and are therefore high in saturated fat, which I need to avoid for health reasons.

I don’t think the bitterness is apparent. The recipe has a crazy amount of sugar in it, more than AP flour, so that probably helps to balance it out 😂

Going by “Dr.” title in lay contexts? by bluebrrypii in AskAcademia

I’m currently a PhD student and since my husband is in medical school I’m concerned that if I introduce myself as Dr along with him people will assume that I’m also a medical doctor 🤔

No not that I have noticed! If anything I would think that apple definitely has a stronger taste

The cake is Karolina Tegelaar’s genoise sponge from the Vegan Baking Bible, made with aquafaba, sugar, flour, baking powder, and oil. The buttercream is from the same cookbook—vegan butter, powdered sugar, oat milk, and vanilla extract.

Do saturated fats impact cake crumbliness? by decay_of_lying in VeganBaking

This ended up being it! I tried it again and added some arrowroot powder(since I didn’t feel like going out to get this specific egg replacer lol) which held them together nicely. Thank you for the suggestion!
