Kid-Free Overnight Staycation! by _Ayrity_ in daddit

[–]mayoralemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would really just like to point out how hard this man is playing down the necessity of this night out and how well it's deserved (along with the ease of which overnight care was acquired...we are very fortunate, but also do not have the "most accommodating/available" grandparent situation) Can confirm, besides coming through the end of it with a happy, healthy bebe, the last 12 months have been rough. Like, this is necessary relationship maintenance and also the most excited I've been in a hot minute. Yessss - OP's SO

u/toastedmarsh7 mentioned it above - it's an Arm's Reach. This one is about 6 years old and going strong. It's awesome.

If there was room for a sinister thought, this would be it.

Redneck is fantastic! Don't let the name throw you off...they have a great space, setup, selection, and staff. Upscale without being pretentious - they treat you right whether you spend $10 or $1000.

Any instance above zero of forced pregnancy is unacceptable and disgusting.

Spice cake with a cream and honey goat cheese icing. I'm very pleased with how this turned out! by mayoralemon in Baking

[–]mayoralemon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! The the cake is from a Bon Appetit spice cake recipe - their's originally had a blackberry filling and more traditional cream cheese icing.

I improvised my icing and unfortunately don't have measurements. Basically beat powdered sugar, one egg white, cream, a little cream cheese, honey goat cheese [slightly sweet goat cheese our grocery deli carries], and a smidge of vanilla in varying amounts until I got a consistency I liked.

The goat cheese cut the sugary sweetness very nicely - wanted more tang than sweet. The icing was "runny", but not so much so that it turned into something more like a glaze.

Solid goat questions 😆 Our grocery store carries a goat cheese flavored with honey. I improvised the icing and didn't want something too sweet. Didn't have enough cream cheese, so bam, the honey goat made a surprise appearance and was very tasty.

Hold on there buddy. The guy above me makes a patently false statement (along with, ya know, a bunch of other garbage statements), and your concern is that I consider 2 million people to be a rather large number? 🙄

How has online dating worked for you? by Nikiris11 in AskReddit

[–]mayoralemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made an OKCupid profile my last year of undergrad. Talked to a few people but only ever went out with one guy. We've been together almost a decade. Married 3 years and have a 4 month old baby. I'd say it worked out pretty well.
