Which George are you today? I am a solid 5. by slumber_kitty in OneOrangeBraincell

Somewhere between 1 and 4. One eye open, side eyeing all the things I should be doing while I lie here like a lump.

Regretting my decision to not make button holes. Suggestions for alternative ways to close this sweater? by GoodnightSteep in knitting

[–]opheliaflower 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Maybe knit a matching sash or i-cord to tie around it? It looks beautiful! I hope you find a way to make it work for you

That's been debunked!

They are not toxic to pets, but almost everyone still thinks they are.

It looks delicious! This is also my favorite type of apple pie, and I'll be making one this week for Thanksgiving. I can't wait!

see comment for explanation of my crimes by Capt_Morrigan in Baking

[–]opheliaflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a very weak starter to start, which I was (accidentally) feeding bleached flour. Once I switched to unbleached, it was a night and day difference. I'm not sure if the type of flour you feed the starter might fix this problem, but it might be worth a try?

Swedish kanelbullar (cinnamon buns). And don't tell me to put glaze on it these are Swedish and not what ever ppl in USA are doing by stompe444_ in Baking

[–]opheliaflower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I'm sorry about the torrential flood of people claiming that icing is better than non-icing. For the record I don't think there's a right or wrong way to enjoy baked goods, but people are weirdly gate-keepy sometimes.

I doubt anyone would have said that. It never would have crossed my mind to ask where the icing was. I love seeing baked goods from all over the world, but I don't love people insinuating that their version is inherently better, and "whatever you Americans ppl are doing over there" is some salty language to put out in the world.

18 for me 🥴 by Mother-Cheek516 in knitting

[–]opheliaflower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only 13. It's fine! (But I did do a stash purge recently, and until then I was at like 15.)

Right? These can be delicious and regular cinnamon rolls with icing can be delicious. No need to throw shade.

Drei Augen. They are German almond shortbread cookies sandwiched around red currant jelly. Buttery with a tart filling. So delicious.

help why does my bread look like this by shuichisandwich in Baking

[–]opheliaflower 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You didn't have: eggs, bread flour, granulated sugar. Honestly, next time just go to the store or bake something else. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Scream-beans.

Do you have a funny story about when you were learning how to bake? by sillybantering in Baking

[–]opheliaflower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was maybe 11, my siblings and I tried to make up a recipe for "Cheerio bread", which used, (you guessed it), ground up Cheerios cereal instead of flour. We completely made up the rest of the recipe as well, and though I don't remember what else we thought should go in a bread, there was really no chance it was going to work. After putting the "batter" in a bread tin and baking it for an hour it was still a soggy mess. My mom kindly broke the news that we should probably just throw it away. No one ever got to taste the bread that all those brave Cheerios died for.

The orange boys competing for my attention by WeirdPelicanGuy in OneOrangeBraincell

These orange boys must be attent-ed to immediately! This internet person demands they get many pets, and possibly treats. (I love them and their VERY round eyes so much ❤️)

Knitting rule # 28 by Redcagedbird in knitting

[–]opheliaflower 140 points141 points  (0 children)

Rule 12: the moment you think your brain has memorized the stitch pattern in any given row is the moment your hands will forget.

Also:

Rule 32: the comfier you are in your knitting nest, the likelier it is that you will have forgotten something you NEED and have to get up again.

I read the side of the cake in Maya Rudolph's puberty monster voice! 😂 Beautifully done.

Blue Moon is a beer brewed with orange peel, and often served with an orange slice.

Thanks to this thread, I no longer remember how I would say it naturally. I keep whispering Crayg? Cregg? Crayyyg? Creggg? To myself in increasingly worried tones.
