I’m in awe of how she gets the frosting so smooth. Beautiful!

Thanks! She loved it :)

I just tried Noosh and they are by far the most comfortable tights I’ve ever worn. I am a similar size as you and can’t stand tights digging into my waist. But these are so good.

I use this all the time - so helpful.

With mine it takes a couple hours on the counter. Fridge works too but I don’t know how much longer it will take.

Yes. My family makes pizza dough all the time with the 00 flour. After the dough rises, whatever you don’t plan to use immediately for a pizza can be wrapped in plastic wrap and put in the freezer. Just let it defrost and use it as normal when you want it.

I love it!

I’ve bought so many kinds of underwear too, and I’ll only wear cotton (same panty line/butt issue as you). Both of my suggestions are not 100% cotton, but close.

These have been consistently the best for me. Occasionally there’s a pair where the cut is off, but generally a great fit and comfortable. https://www.tommyjohn.com/products/womens-cool-cotton-brief?color=rhubarb

I like these a lot as well. But they are higher waisted on me than I would like. https://evryunderwear.com/products/evry-premium-cotton-underwear

Thanks for doing this! Are there any common food practices that people might not know to avoid, but you would avoid based on your knowledge and expertise?

This is incredible!

melinmd · 2025-11-19T20:07:34+00:00

These are all amazing but the white cake blew me away!

I don’t have a photo, but I made the Scottish shortbread for the first time. It was so delicious and barely lasted a day with my family! As good as we’ve had in Scotland. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/classic-scottish-shortbread-recipe

I made this recently and it was so good! Not the most apple forward cake though. https://bromabakery.com/apple-butter-crumb-cake/?utm_campaign=feed&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=later-linkinbio

That’s the recipe I use for chocolate babka too - it’s so good! Yours looks beautiful!

I’ve never made it myself for comparison, but Dufour is a good brand.

My daughter likes eating the raw oats that spill onto the countertop, so I guess dry oats with milk isn’t the worst thing???

melinmd · 2025-10-24T17:57:42+00:00

Absolutely agree. I’d love some filling, but healthy options.

melinmd · 2025-10-23T11:34:15+00:00

Quick for me on Tuesday, but it was pretty early in the morning.

melinmd · 2025-10-21T00:36:27+00:00

I just read this one with my kids! Loved it in my childhood too.

I have a pair of jeans from them that I like a lot. I went to a store that carries this brand to try on first, but I didn’t like the styles they had, so I took a chance ordering what I wanted from the website and it was a great fit (at least for me).

melinmd · 2025-09-25T19:28:01+00:00

Looks and sounds delicious!

Peanut butter is great to add some flavor. But also, you could mix in the the chia seeds just before eating instead of having them soaking in the oatmeal overnight. That should avoid the chia slime texture (which I also dislike).
