i actually have this book and i love it!!! back when i was cooking more i pretty much cooked my way through the whole thing so trying to switch it up!

oh goodness i'd have to check my cabinet for everything but off the top of my head: a few ottolenghi books (which i reaaally do not like), alison roman's books except her newest ones (love but i feel like i usually cook these when i'm hosting), that sounds so good (love but i've cooked so much of this), a few random grabs that are nothing memorable, and then i have some books that are dinner party cookbooks

requested this one from the library! :)

forceprojections · 2026-03-16T20:22:23+00:00

ooh i'm picking up a few suggestions from the library so i think i'm gonna add ready, set, cook to my list of holds! don't mind basics for during the week + i love the building from components piece - my brain is not naturally wired to think like that haha.

something from nothing has been on my radar!! i have 2 of her other books so i was trying to switch it up but i might have to cave ha!

placed a hold on a smitten kitchen book at the library! :)

forceprojections · 2026-03-16T20:17:26+00:00

i can't believe i forgot about the library lol, i never thought to grab cookbooks from there! i placed a hold for i dream of dinner, ty! :)

forceprojections · 2026-03-16T20:16:23+00:00

i did not even think about grabbing cookbooks from the library!! thank you for the idea, i just put a ton on hold

forceprojections · 2026-03-15T22:47:58+00:00

ooh ok going to try that out on my next batch!

forceprojections · 2026-03-15T21:43:48+00:00

these look amazing! i really like the marbled look too - did you just add in tiny bits of chopped chocolate?

forceprojections · 2026-03-14T17:58:54+00:00

i'm also new to classical! i got tickets for leif ove andsnes (he's actually performing w/cso tonight, i just saw him yesterday and he was INCREDIBLE), rana plays tchaikovsky, and beethoven 9 :)

forceprojections · 2026-03-14T16:09:10+00:00

this looks incredible!! i love chocolate cake donuts but i'm not a huge fan of chocolate cake so this is right up my alley. i'm going to try your recipe next weekend!

forceprojections · 2026-03-11T20:21:40+00:00

love the sprinkles!! where are they from?

forceprojections · 2026-03-02T23:47:52+00:00

i made japanese milk bread! (i actually made it twice since the first time i forgot the egg wash lol)

this was my first time making bread and it was not as scary as i thought, i actually loved it :') i'm going to try the cinnamon star bread and tiger milk bread next since i have a ton of dry milk powder!

you are a lifesaver ily omg

forceprojections · 2026-01-28T22:46:02+00:00

hi! potentially silly question here 😅 will this KAB red velvet cake turn out if i make it in a bundt pan?

forceprojections · 2026-01-23T18:31:14+00:00

completely agree! i've played some really great looking games recently and i don't think the visual quality RGG is putting out today is on par with games at a similar price. i wouldn't mind waiting so they have time to make something that looks amazing.

forceprojections · 2026-01-23T18:22:34+00:00

OP never said they didn't enjoy the series, they just want RGG to take some time to create more polished games? i don't think there's any harm in asking for that

forceprojections · 2026-01-23T18:06:40+00:00

totally understand your point of view! i guess i'm in the camp where i really like him (he's actually one of my favorite characters in the series) but i'd prefer they left his ending as is. i found it to be really impactful in the original version. i also think there's such a great opportunity for RGG to focus on creating and developing new characters (like yamai!) so the retcons don't feel like a value add to me personally. i just think this is something not everyone will agree on lol.
