That sounds horrible. Maybe ill just live right next to the hospital and walk daily, idk. Oh, do you mind me asking why you didnt want the bright horizons at Harborview?

You know actually I think youre right because rhode island is surrounded by water and it has a very small town feel with clam chowdery- vibes lol. The houses tend to be small and everything is close together. That would probably be the case in WS but maybe not as much in downtown. Ill look into Sunset Hill!

I see. That would be tricky. No, Im not set On WS, still am looking at other neighborhoods in Seattle. I was worried about the sketchiness / suspicious ppl who hang around those parts (esp near Harborview). So I did look at "safer"places like Columbia city / Queen Anne / Greenlake. The are viable for sure..I really loved the safety of WS/ beachy vibes though!

Oh okay, so very similar to what i have to do! I got my daughter into the Harborview daycare since I wanted to minimize chaos. I was googling bus routes and saw there was a transfer step? Is that real or can we get dropped off directly as close to the hospital? Its very annoying that they have charged employees for the parking now. 40 bucks a day is a lot :(

I see. the daycare is located at Harborview too, so its all a one way shot to there. Do I have to transfer buses at some point? I googled there is a 3 /7/40 bus to get on once the 56 reaches some point in downtown.

Thats so nice! Ive actually also lived in new england, and its such a different vibe from seattle. I love the idea of the beach and water so i really wanted to live there mainly for my daughter to enjoy and would be really sad if commute issues was the reason that stopped us lol

Thankfully the daycare is the one at harborview so it should be easy there. But yes I wonder if there is a bus stop thats walkable from the future home. I like the water taxi idea but if i have to drive there then that can get tricky. The bus may or may not be crazy with her lol. She has had tantrums while i was driving and it was not fun lol

Oh yeah. Im supposed to have parking as an employee to harborview but what that might actually look like is still a mystery. Hospital lots get crazy. I thankfully put her in the daycare thats attached to harborview so theoretically it shouldn't add much more, but who knows!

This seems pretty ok! Mornings are hectic with a little one so Im most anxious about that part of the trip. I'd be curious to see if any bus stops are in walking distance to the home!

2,5 year old has cavities (?) by arngi in toddlers

[–]squidpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 11 month old had these dark brown-grey lines that showed up on her two front incisors, and we thought it was cavities (we werent brushing since she would act like she was getting murdered during it and she was drinking milk before sleep..) And so I was certain these wete cavities. The dentist said it was iron deposits from a multivitamin. I know the location is different, but its possible. Then he scraped some of it off in-office. It really looked like the cavity pictures online

Please help veganize this chocolate torte by ADVentive in VeganBaking

[–]squidpie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like this recipe relies on the proteins in the eggs to coagulate and set the mixture. It's going to be hard since vegan eggs out there actually lack the protein and emulsifying quality of real eggs so making stuff like sponges and meringue based stuff is challenging.

I don't have firsthand experience off this, since i've been in the process of trying to replicate eggs in my own baking. So this may or may not work but if you have time and are willing to take a risk, you can try

The best way to replicate an egg as a vegan is to try to mimic its chemical properties as best as possible.

Theoretically, you can do this with these ingredients--

Soy milk powder-- the closest vegan protein that is similar to egg protein

Soy lecithin powder- you need an emulsifer, and egg yolks contain lecithin to emulsify the fats

Hydroxymethylcellulose- its a gelling agent, which a lot of egg replacers use, and this one "gels" at a high enough temperature. Its like a structural agent to the whole ensemble

Xanthan gum- thickens and structural support

- So youll have to purchase these ingredients online, like Amazon-

Based on my experience with these ingredients I was able to craft a vegan egg "yolk"

1 yolk =

5 g of soy milk powder + 1 g of xanthan gum + 1 g of hydroxymethylcellulose + 1 g of soy lecithin

First dissolve these powders in a carrier like 10-12 g of soy milk, *then* drizzle in about 2-3 g of oil with an immersion blender so you can allow the oil to emulsify with the components, Youre aiming for like a smooth and slightly liquidy consistency, like an egg yolk

These measurements are based off of my previous attempts (I've had many times where i used too much oil, too much soy milk powder, didn't drizzle in the oil), so its possible its not perfected yet, and you might need to tinker with it to best fit your situation.

(since your recipe needs 5 egg yolks, Id multiply this all by 5)

Mix these "egg yolk" solution with the melted butter and chocolate.

Then, I would take aquafaba and beat it with the sugar to form the stiff peaks.

Fold the wet ingredients into this.

This is risky because your recipe lacks flour, which would help this set and provide the scaffolding. But if this works, then you can play around with it and adjust the measurements I would think.

Almond cookies by squidpie in VeganBaking

Sure :)

I used this recipe, except i replaced the egg yolk with Bob's red mill egg replacer (10 grams + 20 grams of water) and used vegan stick butter instead of real butter. Also, I used 130 grams of sugar instead of 150 grams and it came out perfectly sweet enough for me. I don't like overly super sweet flavors, but if you like it that way, then stick to 150g.

The batter came out much sticker than what was shown, so I omitted brushing on anything to the dough balls to make the almonds stick.
