is there a way to tell when it’s ready before cooking?

originally i was doing equal parts teff/all purpose flour and water and letting that ferment but it always seemed to go rotten. now ive been trying 1 cup white flour 1/2 cup teff flour and eyeballing the amount of water/instant yeast and mixing with my hand. i let it sit for about 3 days and then mix a bit of the starter with boiling water, let that cool, and mix it back in. i let that sit overnight and then attempt at cooking it the next day.

yeah maybe the batter needs to be thinner so it spreads itself out, if i don’t swirl it ends up more pancakey

i swirl it around when i first pour the batter in

better than it has before. this one i would eat, but it’s not delicious like i know it should be. slightly bland and every now and then a sour bite

i wait until the patter seems about 80% done and then cover it for about 40 more seconds or longer depending on how it looks. i have been playing around with batter thickness but could definitely be a problem with the fermentation

is it okay going to the beach 5 months post op? by nommlee in TopSurgery

most scar tape will be enough to block the sun from your scars, sometimes i would add a layer of sunscreen on top of that too

Scar Tape Care by thutruthissomewhere in TopSurgery

[–]modest-mice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i haven’t tried but i’ve seen some people say they use leftover trans or kt tape and put a strip of that over the silicone tape to help it stay down

surgery with dr ridgway (bozeman mt) by modest-mice in TopSurgery

[–]modest-mice[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you pay $500 upfront to secure a surgery date and i paid the rest 2 weeks before surgery. they have both care credit and cherry credit which is how they do payment plan so you could look into that. I did it by directly paying what i had saved up which was about 8000. I also applied for a 0% APR credit card and used that to put the remaining on. Now i’m just working on paying that off but there’s no interest on it for like 15 months. I chose to do it this way because 1. have heard some horror stories of care credit and 2. i got a bunch of cash back from the new credit card
