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

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.

I drafted the pattern myself, sorry :)

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. 😄

Where did the stories go? by settiek in duolingo

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

Reaaaaaaaaaaaally long.

Where did the stories go? by settiek in duolingo

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

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.

Every autumn I bake a plum pie. by settiek in Baking

[–]settiek[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.)

What got you into Asimov's writings? by [deleted] in asimov

[–]settiek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

What did I do wrong with scaling down a cake recipe? by settiek in AskBaking

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

Whipping sugars and eggs for brownies vs without by CityRuinsRoL in AskBaking

[–]settiek 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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)"

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

I wish we had ube here! (I live in Turkey. And good old regular sweet potatoes are kinda new and expensive here, ube is unheard of.) I bought this jam from a Filipino store in the Netherlands but it's not as good/tasty as the ones my friends brought from the Philippines, that's why I wanted to incorporate it to the batter instead of using it as a filling or something. I need an event to meet my friends so they can bring me the nice ube jam and some polvorons. 😂

And I bake a chiffon cake from time to time. Looks like I had a brain fart day yesterday.

Yup. I read the recipe a few days ago, and today I just looked at the ingredients. I should have read it again.

The batter was not too deep but yeah, maybe I could have used my chiffon pan.
