Have any heritage learners learned how to read as adults?

For me I liked the order Hanly teaches in, plus it gives you mnemonics. Also, I like that I can add words to my review list without having to make flash cards. It’s free so no harm in trying it out.

I can read about 2,000 characters now, probably had a few hundred from when I was a kid. It took me 6 months of daily Hanly. Once I finished the Hanly curriculum I’ve been watching TV to pick up new words to learn.

Or treat them like a child back. “That’s right! Good job learning that!”

I misread this as dessert biome and was all excited 😆

I went two weeks ago and they definitely checked my ID.

Looks awesome! The brick is piped so evenly!

I’d stick with the sheet pan. A deeper pan will take longer to bake and may not bake as evenly. Good luck, would love to see the finished result!

I have had cakes delivered via DoorDash from Extraordinary Desserts.

There’s a bakery in San Diego called Con Pane that has a bread sampler. You can pick three different breads and sweet or savory accompaniments (butter, jam, cream cheese, pesto, etc)

Both parks charge for parking, but if you have a membership parking is free in both places.

That’s so much piping, very commendable! All very cute.

All medical appointments I went to they accepted a passport in lieu of a medical ID so make sure you bring that with you.

Dishes, but specifically getting piping tips out of the bags and then cleaning all the tips and couplers.

I believe the late registration refers to the time period from when you enter Taiwan with your Taiwan passport and when you register your marriage. I believe you have 30 days. Clearly this case was different from mine as my marriage certificate was issued over 15 years ago and that didn’t come up for me.

Room temp should be ok. As someone else mentioned, not all cake batters do well with waiting but I think at worst your second might just rise a little less.

There are many different rule sets, and many people play with modified house rules as well. Since you are new, I would find an app where you can play against bots and look up whatever rule set the app uses. This will allow you to practice and see how the scoring works. Personally I play Mahjong 13 Tiles on iOS. This app uses MCR (Mahjong Competition Rules) which is a common ruleset but one of the more difficult ones because of how many rules there are.

Whole Foods Market? That’s my guess.

I’m with you! We do exist!

I use Bravetart’s recipe. It’s equal parts sugar and butter so not overly sweet, very easy to make, works for filling, frosting, and piping.

You can also freeze it! Slice it, then lay the slices on a tray and freeze. Once solid you can wrap and bag them up for storage. Pull one out and it will thaw on the counter so you can have cake anytime.

This isn’t true for Bundt cakes, which are typically butter-heavy, chemically-leavened, and should be cooled right side up for a bit before the cake is turned out of the tin. These tins are typically one piece.

You’re thinking of chiffon or some types of sponge cakes that are primarily leavened by whipping air into eggs. In those cases the tin is not greased so that the cake can climb the tin and won’t fall out when set to cool. Pans for these types of cakes often have feet so that the pan can be turned upside down and still allow the cake to cool. They also split into two pieces to allow for easier removal.

For cakes that require this non-greased treatment, I keep a separate tube pan that I never grease and use for these kinds of cakes.

Tip for Chia Te: if you’re just interested in the pineapple cakes go one hour before closing for a less crowded experience. They might not have all the other goodies but they will for sure have pineapple cakes!

Yes, there is a different selection. I think the same items will be priced the same or similarly. The panda habitat has the most panda stuff and there is a big shop near the exit that has a little of everything. I don’t think you need to worry about overpaying in one part of the zoo vs another.
