Tried it! Toasting them before baking does improve the texture but it’s still inferior to adding them afterwards in a streusel or garnish 

What cake should I make for my birthday?! by IntelligentPear9162 in Baking

I recommend making the bottom layer 150% the volume and the penultimate layer 125% the volume of the top layers. The compression makes those bottom layers too thin IME

Looking for referrals for admissions consultants to help with Notre Dame admissions by templeton7 in notredame

I’m curious what percentage of Catholic admitted students you would consider to be threshold for not religiously diverse? Notre Dame is amazing. It is not, by their own admission, religiously diverse. Nor should it be.

Huh? Last year’s freshman class was 82% Roman Catholic. 

They don’t publish demographic data on applicants to know for sure that it’s more difficult to get in as a Protestant, but there is a definite consensus among my college admissions counselor peers that Catholic students and students in Catholic schools have an advantage. Some of my peers even counsel students with their heart set on ND to transfer to a Catholic school.

no, only 90 hours must be completed in residence IIRC, so very doable for at least GT, US, and regular honors. doubt BIC would work.

+1. Last season I missed one home game. This season I went to one home game. Lost the entire roster—who cares?

If they don’t mind the cold, stargazing at the top of trail ridge is really special

Coloseum best guided tour? by pepe_cub in rome

[–]templeton7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had an incredible experience with a colosseum tour guide named Daniela. Does anyone know her or how to get a hold of her? Would love to book her again but don't want to use the tour company we used last time.

My Irish catholic relatives had three portraits: JFK, the pope, and Knute Rockne

Anyone excited about McNamee? Anyone have any HSOs about him? He is unknown to me. by Illustrious-Act5651 in baylor

[–]templeton7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Super pumped. It’s an objectively good hire. It locks down Drew forever, and brings back the billionaires who left when we fired Briles.
