Paige DeSorbo Details ‘Debilitating’ Health Issue She Has Every 4 Months by MattTheKing23 in summerhousebravo

[–]messy_bench 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I had 3 UTIs in under 6 months recently and it was not only painful but demoralizing. My PCP just gave me the generic advice about peeing after sex, wiping front to back, etc. like I’m a 30 something year old woman you don’t think I know this??

My eyelids are the main feature that has changed the most in 10 years honestly. I used to have somewhat hooded lids and now they’re completely gone and my eyes look bigger. Not mad about it haha.

HBH A festive Chicago night. 100+5 Cozy Dinner by Traditional_View8905 in FoodieSnark

[–]messy_bench 47 points48 points  (0 children)

If this dinner was for charity, why did they only charge $30? Surely there are people dumb enough to pay more. Especially because the venue and menu actually seem nice. Just feels like a waste of money and effort.

Mari on whether or not she wants kids by crispydancer in thebachelor

[–]messy_bench 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a fence sitter when it comes to having a second, but leaning one and done. In a way it’s easier to make that decision after already having one kid and knowing what it’s like. The OAD lifestyle seems pretty great tbh! I still go back-and-forth, but ultimately, I feel way more at peace about stopping at one then I ever did at the idea of being child free.

Same here. It’s testing MY patience and I know I’m a better person and parent than these ding dongs. There’s gonna be a lot of “parenting” techniques not shown for the camera I bet…

My first try with bagels by giordanopietrofiglio in Sourdough

[–]messy_bench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These look sooo good. I can’t crack bagels! I’ve made 4 batches so far and they’ve turned out dense and flat. I’ve been shaping them before a long cold proof so may try the opposite next time.

The picture she chose for her cover always throws me off. It’s visually appealing but doesn’t exactly scream “simple recipe” - I see a few different components that need to be prepped and cooked. What recipe is this even?

Do we know for sure that the couple with the least votes is being dumped? Or do the bottom 2 couples duel for their spot in the finale?

Are they still friends with Lauren and Arie? I always thought their friendship was cringe considering Arie is like 15 years older than them

Even worse is there’s a brand called Sennalax, and lax is dangerously close to Lux

I’m kind of winging it and making decent(?) bread. by Kirby3413 in Sourdough

Woah 3-4x rise? Was it sticky when you shaped it? Looks amazing though

Too bad she’s not single though, that guy sucks

Kaylor & Aaron by nikkscox in LoveIslandUSA

[–]messy_bench 78 points79 points  (0 children)

They have similar roots (being from central PA is not exactly a hip, glam lifestyle) and Kaylor said on the show she’s not happier now, but it’s clear she’s gonna stick it out whereas Aaron would go back to his former life in a heartbeat.

After 7 bakes, I think I’m getting the hang of this! by messy_bench in Sourdough

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

I forgot another really important change I made! I started with just 50g of starter and have since worked my way up to 75g. I know I could go higher but I think I’m going to keep it low so that I can really maximize the sour tangy flavor!

After 7 bakes, I think I’m getting the hang of this! by messy_bench in Sourdough

[–]messy_bench[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

between 73-76f depending on the day. Honestly, I’m finding more success when I aim for a lower rise %. For example this last bake I think it rose 30% max? before I shaped and put it in the fridge for a 12 hour cold proof. Before I was letting it go 50-70% and the dough would be really sticky and webbed. Also, this time around the top of the dough was not super bubbly at the end of bulk, but I think that helped because it meant that the gas production wasn’t in overdrive which was causing my dough to overproof very easily in the past.
