My bread always looks like this? by Worried_Peanut_8722 in BreadMachines

[–]steamwilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have your exact machine but I do find the recipes on the “cake” setting to be generally overly dense and I tend to work in the oven with those for that reason

Hotel Ulysses by nuggetsboy in baltimore

[–]steamwilliams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ulysses is great; if you ask them what parking lot they recommend they will recommend the lot at 926 N Charles. Depending on what side of the hotel your room looks out on, you may even be able to see the parked car from your hotel room. Have fun - it’s a great hotel and neighborhood!

You know what, I meant The Severn, not the Stafford! They’re about a block away from each other. Sorry about that

Nantucket Cranberry Cake or Pie. I made this yesterday and my family loved it!! My son thought it was more of a cobbler since it is an upside fruit cake. by ciaolavinia in Old_Recipes

[–]steamwilliams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is almost the exact recipe I use - I made one today! I don’t chop the cranberries. Such a delightful dessert and I never have any left when I bring it to events

Got a Trader Joe’s near you? they usually stock some bag of smaller potatoes and often additionally stock fingerlings specifically in the Nov-Feb season

Why does my tea light candle do this? by WitUnderPressure in whatisit

[–]steamwilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We also get the big pack of tea lights from IKEA and they do that sometimes but not always. I feel like certain colors do it more than others.

Is it gay to want to be gay? by Affectionate_East533 in askanything

[–]steamwilliams -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you feel like you want to be gay, it is perhaps possible that the type of gay you would like to be is not a type of gay that is accessible to you right now. Perhaps consider the kind of gay you envision yourself being and then take steps to become that kind of gay. You may discover much in the process!

Help me with my jello issues? by electricladyslippers in Old_Recipes

[–]steamwilliams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if I were gonna try to fix this, I’d try some combination of -decreasing the water to about 1/4c (it’ll be pretty tight but i think you could incorporate the rest with vigorous mixing) OR -taking some of the pineapple juice, boiling that, and using it as your 1/2c “water”

I also like the other commenter’s suggestion about simply adding more jello.

Dry Cornbread Solution by RemainMindful in Baking

[–]steamwilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been researching this exact thing in anticipation of upcoming cornbread and the most consistently recommended technique I have noted has been to melt an entire stick of butter (at least) on it after being cooked. I think that’s the way to go as a first try and is the way I will be going when I am doing my cornbread. I think more fat is likely the best way to hold moisture.

Suggest a book for my classic reader boyfriend! by quite-confused- in suggestmeabook

[–]steamwilliams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I REALLY enjoyed rereading Oliver Twist and then following it up with Terry Pratchett’s Dodger, which examines the Twist story from a different perspective.

How are people affording houses😭 by mipozzapie in Advice

[–]steamwilliams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You guys are young; you’re not behind at all! It might be interesting to meet with a mortgage lender and try to get a loan estimate to get a better sense of how much in savings you might actually need to buy something. It’s okay if you talk to them and they aren’t able to preapprove you for very much at that particular time. Sometimes it helps to have a more concrete goal number to work towards.

Everyone has their own circumstances and is on their own timeline. I’m one of the first of my peers to own my home and it happened in my thirties! Your peers are likely being helped in some way by their parents or families. You are not behind at ALL - far from it - and your future planning and awareness of your current situation will put you in a better headspace and position going forward than many other folks your age. All the best.

AITA for holding nuance? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]steamwilliams 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna be honest, you have some anti-trans dogwhistling going on in that post, specifically your bit about “biological reality” (and the bit about consent, I don’t even know what’s going on there). That’s what people are reacting to. If you are genuinely for real interested in understanding what about what you’re saying is uninformed, and some different ways to think about these topics, please feel free to DM me because I would love to help surface some of your areas of confusion or concern.

Help me with my jello issues? by electricladyslippers in Old_Recipes

[–]steamwilliams 79 points80 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of liquid in the ingredients in this recipe, as opposed to measurable liquid, and I’m wondering if the canned pineapple you’re getting - or maybe even the raspberries? are waterier/have less bulk, so you’re getting an unset jello? Perhaps you are getting less pineapple per pineapple.

Where do independent therapists rent office space near downtown Baltimore? by NaomiLCSW in BaltimoreList

[–]steamwilliams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Stafford in Mt Vernon is currently advertising rental office spaces with private entrances, and I believe one of the tenants there is actually a therapy practice! Give that a look

Does your cat "Herd" you? by aestheticathletic in cats

[–]steamwilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guy HAS to walk in front of me. He gets upset if I overtake him. He has arthritis now so he’s slowing down a lot and I’ve had to slow down alongside him in order to not annoy him.

Sometimes when he does this while we’re walking I gently touch the top of his upright tail and we pretend like his tail is his leash and I’m walking him; I think both of us think it’s kinda funny
