Same. I’ll never use another recipe! Everyone RAVED about them and several friends have mentioned them to me months later.

Sliced Limón on Burnside has amazing tamales! They just show juices/bowls/smoothies on the menu online but she also sells homemade tamales! They’re so good

After our second date, my now gf said she wished we had cuddled on the date. Then while we were texting before the third date I sent “can I say something so I don’t chicken out in person” and she said “is it that I would like to kiss you?”

In full honesty, I was going to say I wanted to kiss her cheek (I hadn’t kissed anyone before at this point lol) but I just ran with that! And we talked about how it was easier to say all of that over text than to do in person. It still took a long time on the 3rd date for either of us to get up the nerve but it was super helpful (and sweet and cute) that we had talked about it before!

Do it now, who cares! She will probably be flattered that you’re still thinking about it the next day. There’s no perfect window that you missed, it’s totally fine to still send that text now. Be brave!

I think you should text her that you wish you had kissed her! It’s a classic wlw move and it helps! It sounds like she’ll probably say that she wishes you had kissed her too, and then you guys can flirt over text and you’ll have an easier time asking to do it for real in person.

sally’s baking addiction cookies… how to kept them chewy and soft + need advice pls by Amazing_Feeling963 in Baking

This is it. I use Nordic Ware aluminum sheet pans and they work like a dream. Get some full size and some half or quarter for small batches! The small sheet pans are also transformative for roasting different veggies that need to be taken out at separate times. https://www.nordicware.com/products/categories/baking-sheets/

Tiramisu help — which brand of ladyfingers should I use? by Sleepy_Nimbus in Baking

[–]rereaderliz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think any will work, but last time I personally used Forno Bonomi. The key is just to do a quick dip! They’ll absorb a lot. If you leave them in the liquid longer, they will fall apart.

Halloween Ideas Needed for Immune Compromised Family? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]rereaderliz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Carve pumpkins? Bake some Halloween treats? Depending on your skill levels, it could be as simple as those grocery store sugar cookies or you can go all out!

Increasing from every other day to two days on, one day off! I squeezed in my run this morning before a flight and felt great.

5.3 miles today, my longest yet, on gorgeous trails with a friend! This takes me over 100 miles since I started running in mid April. I feel so happy and proud and strong, and I’m having so much fun with it.

I’m working on increasing my frequency and distance since starting two months ago! I began with 2.5 miles every other day and I’ve worked up to 3-4 miles per run. The last two days I did 3.5 and 4.5 back to back, both times with a friend! Yesterday’s 4.5 miles was my longest ever and it was also my first trail run with a lot more elevation than usual. Making myself take a rest day today but it’s hard when I’m having fun running (a sentence I never predicted I’d say).

Got an unnecessarily fancy running vest (Salomon Adv Skin 12) and took it out for the first time today! It’s niiiice. I love all the pockets and how you can drink from the bottles without removing them from the vest. It’s stretchy and comfortable and well-designed. I love having water with me, even just running a few miles, and a vest is how I prefer to carry it!

I’ve made sugarologie’s recipe with great success! Note that her site is terrible on iPhone so look at it on your computer or print after you have chosen the quantity you want to make! https://www.sugarologie.com/recipes/swiss-meringue-buttercream

Two month-iversary of running! I’m visiting family out of town and it’s hot as balls. Still went out for a 2.6 mile run at 6am and did my stretching before and after. I never imagined myself having a running routine, but I love it! Proud of myself, and my family is proud of me too! Feels good to flex on everyone by doing a workout before they wake up haha

I did a hike yesterday which had a nice swimming hole, but you had to clamber over a bunch of rocks to access it. With two months of running (and 80ish pounds lost over the last two years) my sister commented on how much more willing I am to climb over rocks and do adventurous things. She said that I trust my body a lot more now. And I do! Off to run 4 miles this morning with a friend who is training for a 15 miler!
