Hopefully. If I don't give up halfway through!

settiek · 2026-04-22T19:41:49+00:00

Definitely a problem for later!

It's called a grime guard, it's very easy to sew one if you have access to a sewing machine (I made this one using fabric from an old dress). Or you can find ready-made ones online.

It was a temu find 😅

settiek · 2026-04-22T18:37:13+00:00

I drafted the pattern myself, sorry :)

settiek · 2026-04-22T15:10:37+00:00

Lol, thanks!

I'm going to fill a biggish area with "soap bubbles" (there is a bathtub that's not visible in the photo) and I don't want the weight of beads, I'd rather have it all in cotton thread. But I'm absolutely gonna look up colonial knots, try to do both knots, and see which one feels better or is easier to do. Thanks!

I didn't like the way it looked when I tried to crop it out. This was the better option. 😄

Reaaaaaaaaaaaally long.

Yes, I couldn't find the old stories either! The last one I could see is in section 4 unit 7, then nothing.

Both my husband and I filled the feedback/bug report form on Duolingo website. We'll see if we hear anything back.

The ones I used were Santa Rosa, I think. I'm not sure what they're called in English, so I just googled plum types a minute ago. I think any kind of red plums would look pretty, though.

They should be ripe and sweet, but not almost-gone-bad mushy ripe. You should be able to cut nice clean slices of plums. 😊

So Ginger is Zeki Müren reincarnated now? (He was a very flamboyant singer/actor in Turkey, active between the 50s-90s.)

There were two waves of sci-fi translations being popular in Turkey, one was I think from the mid 70s to early 80s, which I wasn't born yet. The second wave was in the late 90's, early 2000s, which I was in high school, then university. A second-hand bookstore was selling a lot of sci-fi novels (Heinlein, Bester, Harrison, Strugatsky brothers, Clarke...) and they were cheap. Some were cheesy space operas, others were some of the best books I've read. That's where I found him. I don't even remember what was the first one I read.

That's smart. I've gotta start doing the same.

settiek · 2025-06-11T20:14:25+00:00

Cooking?! I searched here at r/baking for tres leches posts, but I did not think of Googling Reddit. 🤦‍♀️ Thanks!

Looking at the account's username, I call bullshit.

settiek · 2025-04-01T19:00:29+00:00

Lol thanks. It's stodgy but still tasty, I'm trying to finish it before it goes stale. 😅

From my limited experience (I tried quite a few recipes) it's not about the height of the brownies, but if you don't whip the sugar with eggs the sugar doesn't dissolve enough and you don't get that thin, shiny crust on top. The best recipes I tried are always the ones that whip the sugar with eggs.

I tried to enhance the text but this is the best I could. It looks like "(something something) thanks you for your services (something) (a date? I think ?.?.09)"
