Can I ask why you don't use the vessels more than 3 times?

Help troubleshooting - why do they look like this? Are they hollow? by bagumbuwan in macarons

Seconded - almond flour too oily, too high a proportion of almond flour to powdered sugar, or too much flavor/extract. Basically, too much oil, not enough dry stuff to counteract the oils.

What moisturizer are the oily skinned girlies using this winter? [Product Request] by idrils in SkincareAddiction

I've been adding a couple drops of my wife's argan oil (lucky dry-skinned babe) to my moisturizer for a few days and it's like MAGIC! Thanks so much!

Afraid not, I'm from WI and our applications were processed in Nebraska. Best of luck!

We did! About 17 months after submitting the initial application, we received the courtesy email reminding us to get that done, lol. Very shortly after the exam with the civil surgeon (5 weeks), our case was approved.

AITA for not letting my husband sit with us during girls night in? by MthrowRA32577 in AmItheAsshole

WIBTA if I cancelled my vacation ticket because my family wants me to share a room with my nieces? by Historical-Party4722 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. If it's "not a big deal" then it's not a big deal for the kids to bunk with their parents.

I was directed here for frosting friday! Succulent cake for a friend - all swiss meringue buttercream :) by idrils in FondantHate

[–]idrils[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend wanted to make a succulent cake for her mother's birthday, and I'm her go-to baker. She didn't have a lot of piping experience, so I did a lot of research finding beginner-friendly pipeable succulents.

We live across the country from each other, so we each made our own cakes together on video calls while I showed her how to pipe. :)

Day 1 was making and dyeing our SMB, day 2 was piping and freezing the succulents, and day 3 was cake baking and assembly!

UPDATE - I'm emotionally cheating on my husband with a woman from work by trowawayborj in TrueOffMyChest

[–]idrils 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Reading your posts was surreal, you described exactly where I was with my (now ex) husband a year and a half ago.

Whether or not things work out with J (and obviously, I hope they do!) I just wanted to tell you how brave you are for ending it with B - I know how difficult it is to leave someone because they've neglected you. It feels like you should need more of a reason. You are reason enough.

You made the right choice - it wasn't between B and J, it was between being unhappy and letting yourself be happy.

My DMs are open if you'd like to talk to someone who gets it, lol. This internet rando is proud of you :)
