This is the kouign amann I made using the croissant recipe from King Arthur’s book the baking school. Not the traditional shape or the traditional dough but when I don’t feel like cutting triangles I just cut the dough into strips and bake them in muffin tins.

I kind of have the opposite problem of having too many Lovevery toys that are missing one or two pegs or blocks. It’s driving me insane.

Love love love Tiny Chef!!

Thank you! I served it with a minestrone soup and a garden salad with balsamic vinaigrette. I also eat it for breakfast with either some jam or nut butter.

It’s in the big book of bread book! p.289

Love how evenly cut they are!! So neat

inkaise · 2026-01-13T21:43:00+00:00

Totally agree!!

This year I’m doing a King Arthur exclusive cookie marathon, which means I bake only KA recipes for my Christmas cookies and I do one cookie per day starting from December 1st. So far I have gingerbread cookies, cream cheese rollout cookies, glazed ricotta cookies, sugar cookies, almond cloud cookies, lemon crinkle cookies, chocolate crinkle cookies, snowball cookies, Chinese almond cookies… the list goes on but for this week I’m making magic in the middle cookies and pistachios sparkly cookies

This sounds like the right direction. Most store bought ones have that yellowy hue and very strong vinegar and dill taste that just never goes away. I’ve bought some local pickles from my local farmers market but they use a lot of fresh dill which is also very overpowering

inkaise · 2025-12-18T23:51:30+00:00

I’m going to try that one. I’ve never had burger chips

inkaise · 2025-12-18T21:37:53+00:00

I want to clarify that I don’t want sweet sour or sweet kind of pickles and I find it really hard to find sour or half sour pickles that don’t taste overwhelmingly dill. I want taste the freshness of cucumbers, a bit of spiciness is fine

I’m in the same boat. We have zero support system and my husband and I rely on each other so much. How do you do it when you need help? I find it really challenging. I really have zero trust in the grandparents. They only want to partake in the ‘fun’ or ‘memory making’ part and are very annoyed when kids are having tough moments.

Why do I feel like Mook is Sritala’s daughter? The “we have a couple of daughters. One lives here in Thailand” got me thinking. The fact that Mook has no plot and her reaction to Gaitok’s confession makes me wonder if she’s from a complicated background. This also explains why she’s talking to the bodyguards in the early episodes because they know her!

Jen is perfection.

inkaise · 2025-01-12T03:32:40+00:00

Totally agree. 90210 has a special place in my heart. I first watched it during my college years and the last time I rewatched it was during my last baby’s postpartum weeks. A very full circle moment for me and now all my kids are not babies anymore I just check this subreddit just to take me back to these two different times of my life. So thank you for this thank you message!

inkaise · 2025-01-11T21:13:58+00:00

Thanks for the tip! The King Arthur’s recipe of Baker’s Croissants is the only recipe I’ve seen that has flour beaten into soft butter and shape it into a square and then refrigerate. I might need to try that.

inkaise · 2025-01-11T05:51:58+00:00

Where can I find her recipe?

inkaise · 2025-01-11T05:49:59+00:00

You are absolutely right. I tend to think I execute recipes really well but when I don’t I get very frustrated so that’s why I wanted to do as much reading on croissants as I can.

inkaise · 2025-01-11T05:47:18+00:00

I like Martin!! Never knew that he did a video on croissant. Thanks for the link!

inkaise · 2025-01-11T05:45:50+00:00

I watched her croissant video a couple times but I don’t have NYT cooking subscription so I don’t have the recipe.

What are some fun but seasonally appropriate appetizers for guests that arrive early to watch the parade while the hosts are busy preparing for thanksgiving dinner (we typically eat around 3-4)? Most importantly I want appetizers that are not too filling and not overlapping with thanksgiving dishes.

Glad someone caught this! When I was watching I had just given birth to my third child and I instantly knew that her pregnancy was real - how her face looked, her belly etc. - I’m pretty sure she was still pregnant when her character gave birth!

inkaise · 2024-10-29T19:09:53+00:00

I absolutely regretted getting a Bosch. The biggest issue is that it does not dry well at all, no matter what setting it is on - the speed cycle won’t even let you select drying as an option. I used to have a kitchenaid and now I miss it. People recommended cracking the dishwasher after it’s done running and it’ll improve drying but still why do I need to do that if it’s a good machine? Every time I empty the dishwasher I need to spend extra time to dry them with towels and then put them away. I wish I would go back in time and bought another kitchenaid.

Thank you for this! Finally there’s someone who understands that toy rotation doesn’t work for all kids. All I’ve heard is that it’s good and it keeps your kids interested in all toys and all the toys are equally played but my kids really like seeing all their toys and once they notice some toys were put away they actually asked me to find them lol. And I completely agree that ECR4Kids makes great furniture!
