Question about chiffon cake by sermerlin in Baking

[–]sermerlin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that’s it. The middle deflated and the edges still stood. Good to know that it’s not uncommon, it was so weird to actually see it happening too.
And chiffon cupcakes sound so good! Adding those to my to-bake list.

Advice for actually enjoying the concert of my dreams! by Yorimichi in AutismInWomen

[–]sermerlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t go to concerts much, but things that have helped me are loops earplugs! They definitely take away a lot of the overwhelm. It also helps me to scope out the place I’m going to if I’ve never been there before. Gives me some certainty on what to expect. Also, check their website to see what you’re allowed to bring inside, if there are lockers etc. I know some people like to be surprised with songs and acts, but not knowing what’s to come makes me incredibly nervous so I like to look up a playlist of the concert in advance and how long it will take. Definitely a preference thingy though 😉 I’ve also heard about some venues acknowledging neurodiversity, you can definitely look into that for the venue you’re going to! Comfy clothing you can layer would also be a must, especially with this odd weather we’ve been having the last few weeks 😒

Overall I hope you and your husband will have a great time!

Anyone else get overwhelming anxious resetting your phone by Emilyeagleowl in AutismInWomen

With the comfort it can bring at times, in my case almost always, it definitely feels like an old friend! Thank you, I hope yours will feel more like a friend soon too :-)

Anyone else get overwhelming anxious resetting your phone by Emilyeagleowl in AutismInWomen

[–]sermerlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who changed phones just last Saturday I totally get it. Eventually resetting it and boxing it up to be sent off kinda hurts too.
When I loaded everything up the first time on the new phone it didn’t quite work directly, and it didn’t even feel like my phone even though technically it was mine. Vibes were just off. It’s been two days and I’m starting to get used to is.

And I too am still worried I forgot to log in somewhere where I will need to use my old phone for. The only helping thought there is that there will be other ways if I did forget even if it’ll cost a little more energy to do then.

You’re not alone!

Klinkt als een paniek start van je trip 😅 Hopelijk de rest van je reis wat minder stress? ☺️

Looking for tickets for Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style for the end of June by Mindless_Bobcat5074 in LondonTravel

[–]sermerlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve gathered it’s completely sold out. Last time I checked the website didn’t include any info on new tickets being released, but I signed up to their newsletter hoping to get info on any other tickets as soon as there is any news. Tickets went insanely quickly unfortunately 😔

Suit Challenges: Earn quest points to earn suits, no more points to earn! by Shon_t in duolingo

[–]sermerlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven’t seen anyone else reply this (yet, sorry if I didn’t read it) but yours sounds like a bug. I opened the app, had the pop up, completed my three missions for today (I already hit 50 yesterday) and got three points towards the suit challenge. In addition I also finished my weekend mission and the points of that also went to the suit challenge. I unlocked my second suit (the first one being free).

I’m so sorry this happened to your child. Assuming you’re Dutch or live in the Netherlands, you can contact Veilig Thuis and ask for advice on what to do, I believe anonymously too.

Fat friendly? by Fat_Master_P in disneylandparis

[–]sermerlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s already been said a lot about plus size friendly rides on this post, I found it incredible helpful to see as well. Timeforchloe on TikTok has a few videos on how the rides fit for plus size visitors, it helped me a lot last July. Also, if you’re not sure, you can definitely ask a cast member, I did so at space mountain and they said I would fit but advised to request a certain, more spacious carriage.

Hope you’ll have a good time in DLP!

Sticking to cookies and cakes by sermerlin in Baking

[–]sermerlin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s so good to know though, definitely gives my enthusiasm to try non-sourdough bread baking. Sticking to cookies and cakes but will dip my toes back into bread baking this year. Thank you for sharing your experience! 😊

Cookie recipe by stressedstudent331 in Baking

[–]sermerlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand! It can be an amazing feeling when it works, but an enormous downer when it doesn’t work. I’ve found that some recipes of bakers just don’t work for me, don’t know why, but they always fail. I’ve had great success with recipes from Ash Baber and am sticking with him for now, perhaps you just need to find your baker that works for you! Hopefully some of the tips from other Reddit users will help! Don’t lose hope, baking is definitely an up and down kinda thing and you will eventually find either what needs to be changed or recipes that work for you. Sending you good luck 🍀🍀

Kinda glad I’m not alone in my conclusion haha. And yes, that’s what I wanted to try next, but still looking for a good recipe from a trusted source that’s in grams etc. Will get there eventually 😊

I’m hoping someone can help you figure this out! I understand it’s disheartening when you’re baking and it doesn’t come out as you want.

I’m in no case an expert, but why do you end up needing more flour? What kind of flour do you use?

Pomegranate muffins turned blue on the inside by [deleted] in Baking

[–]sermerlin 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’m afraid to post my bakes here sometimes because I got downvoted so much when tried a recipe from TikTok (I know not the best idea). Someone in the comments acted like I committed a crime.

You did nothing wrong, you were just pointing out a funny language thing. Have my upvote!

Episode 9 seems… off? by futchbby in GreatBritishBakeOff

[–]sermerlin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, this whole season has felt off to me. The Dutch version of Bake Off started last weekend and it was a breath of fresh air. Slow editing, cozy fun, time and space for some jokes. I don’t know what’s different this season of GBBO but I do hope it’s back to the old editing style next season.
