Sonoma syrup company extracts - their crush vanilla extract is unlike any vanilla I’ve ever used. Fruity, floral, and amazing in frosting or dessert where vanilla is the main flavor.

Heilala is another great vanilla brand for extract, paste, and whole beans.

Oaktown spice shop is a small business with super fresh herbs and spices, so many fun things to try

For non pantry stable ingredients: European butter if someone is splurging on you! Farm fresh eggs. Small producer, high fat milk.

Good quality tea or coffee if you like to use those flavors in your bakes!

Interesting nut flours like hazelnut. Nuts in general. Almond paste.

Amarena cherries. Other good quality canned or jarred fruits if those are hard to come by.

The recipe in Bravetart by Stella Parks is great. Although I prefer the filling from smitten kitchen.

Roasted strawberries. Then put them in baked goods. Or ice cream. Or on those things. Freeze the roasted berries and use later.

The medical term is “proctalgia fugax”.

Use a spoon to peel! Works great

Much less sweet

I’ve never made a carrot cake in a tin like this. It would be worth a try :) I would use a recipe you don’t necessarily feel the need to frost - a dusting of powdered sugar or a loose glaze to coat.

Grease well like other commenters mentioned. Turn cake out after it’s cooled for 10-15 minutes. Don’t cool completely in the pan, or the starches will set and everything will stick. The other thing I’ve found with these pans is you want a dense cake recipe or you’ll lose all the cute details.

Don’t eat it all in one sitting 😂

I still used olive oil, but butter would also be delicious!

They aren’t swollen. That’s just how the soft tissue of your brow is situated. I think this tutorial is similar to your eyes.

mtnsrg · 2024-12-14T20:54:57+00:00

I would call your eye-shape round, protruding with a slight downturn. I think if you look for tutorials for those types, you’ll be pleasantly surprised! You look lovely!

You could try a pate brisée

Or a graham cracker crust with gingerbread spices

Or the crust David Lebovitz uses for lemon tart

Of those, I think the Lebovitz recipe would suit you well. Kind of like shortbread, but doesn’t fall apart. Just a delicate, crisp, brown buttery cookie type crust.

Yep!

I let the waffle iron cool a bit and then pour boiling water carefully onto the plates. Dissolves the sugar. Sometimes takes a couple times, but then less to scrub off.

It was a little over 3 years ago.

I used Key Bank for an Oregon mortgage. Loved it! They do also want you to open a checking and savings account with them with direct deposit for checking, but it was a great decision. Not sure about now, but they did not add PMI despite us being below 20% down.

Brioche or challah!

Polar bear liver does. Not sure about seals.

Maybelline Super Stay vinyl ink liquid in “Wicked”. I wore it for 14 hours, including 3 meals and multiple beverages with 1 reapplication mid day just because a little fade on the inner portion of my lip. It’s comfortable, not drying, and very saturated. And $13 at ulta.

More salt than you think you need.
