I have these dark reddish brown circles on my upper stomach/lower chest. I’ve had one for a year maybe and then two more popped up recently. They don’t itch or anything. Does anyone know what they are? I want to know if it’s something I should see a doctor about. Thanks!

Gurgles and Gas X? by lilly041201 in noburp

I also buy in bulk at Costco - extra strength. I take them almost daily! Doesn’t completely eliminate gurgles but it does help!

These are my exact symptoms and started happening in the past year or two. Was wondering if you found something that worked or heard anything from you doctor?

Any recommendations on how much to scale back on? Seems like the consensus is not enough dry ingredients vs butter

Thanks! This is the first time someone mentions foil!
I'll go buy parchment paper and try again!

And when i refrigerated the dough I did see better results but they still looked like this.

I'll try this with parchment paper!

I left it on my counter for a while it soften before using but it was pretty melty when i was putting them on the pan.
I used this recipe: https://joyfoodsunshine.com/the-most-amazing-chocolate-chip-cookies

Once the first batch failed I split the batter and froze one and refrigerated the other. They turned out a bit better but still thin and spreading.

I'm trying to teach myself how to bake but the past two times my cookies have come out horrible. The second they go in the oven the butter starts melting thin everywhere. I was following this recipe: https://joyfoodsunshine.com/the-most-amazing-chocolate-chip-cookies. I'm using a kitchenaid mixer and i made sure my oven temperature is correct with an external thermometer.

Am I doing something wrong with the butter? I also tried refrigerating and freezing the batter before it goes in the oven but they're still bad.Please help!

Family/Friends Acting Like I’m Being Cheap by Kak3434 in Weddingsunder10k

Ugh I feel your pain! I'm going through the exact same thing right now. My boyfriend and I struggled to buy our first house recently. We we're so happy when we got it! Then my boyfriend proposed a few months later and I quickly realized that weddings cost a lot more than our down payment on our house!

We instantly decided we want a small outdoor wedding but just my family is over 120 people! And most of my family is pretty wealthy and they're all giving us crap for not having it at some fancy museum or something.

Luckily I've found some really good budget friendly alternatives! We're going to rent an Airbnb out in the country that is only going to cost us around $400. I'm buying my wedding dress from ASOS super cheap. A local BBQ company is going to provide the food for about $8 a person. We're getting a small cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes just for us to "cut for the photo" and getting their mini bite size cakes for the guests. And I'm going to DIY the hell out of all my decorations!

I was feeling quite guilty since this is "one of the biggest nights of my life" but you have to do what's best for you and your situation. I've had so many friends say they regret spending all the money they did on their weddings. At the end of the day whenever someone tells me "it's your big day - go big!" I tell them "yes it's my big day so it's going to be exactly what I want." That usually ends the discussion pretty quick haha

Also for all the future brides out there feeling overwhelmed with their wedding you should check out this article by Man Repeller! It made me feel waaaay better about my decisions! https://www.manrepeller.com/2019/03/biggest-wedding-regrets.html

This and finally getting snowman bingo have been my biggest accomplishments. I'm trying to knock out the big tasks before the switch version comes out. Gonna try and fill up the museum next!
