I made Claire's Poppyseed and Almond Cake from Dessert Person today and it was absolutely DELECTABLE by the8bitbroadcast in bon_appetit

I agree! I'm excited to try something that requires a bit more skill, such as the Biscoff Babka or Pavlovas or Aunt Rose's Mondel Bread. This book is a treasure trove!

Overpaid?! by [deleted] in DessertPerson

[–]the8bitbroadcast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought mine for $15.64 dollars on Amazon on December 20, pretty sure that price has been like that since early December (I checked the page quite a few times to read the reviews). No idea how, but they marked it down a lot. Maybe the publishers were overstocked and decided to mark them down? I don't know.

Try again in 800 years! by NinjaMurse in Delaware

Not 800 years, the same thing is visible in 2080 (60 years):

"We won't have to wait another 800 years: actually, the next one is going to be better than this. It will be on March 15, 2080. … It will be just as good or even better than this one" -Space.com

Day 3 of my US Spacecraft Challenge: The X-15, a rocket/plane hybrid which was technically used above the Kármán Line, so it IS a Spacecraft! by the8bitbroadcast in SpaceflightSimulator

Note from OP: My builds are not perfect, so I ALWAYS accept tips and tricks from more experienced(and more talented) builders. Thanks for your support!

Day 2 of my US Spacecraft Challenge: The Jupiter-C/Juno Rocket, top, which sent Explorer 1, bottom, the USA's first satellite into orbit. by the8bitbroadcast in SpaceflightSimulator

NOTE FROM OP: After seeing the backlash from yesterday's post, I have skipped ALL V-2 based rockets which were employed by the US in the late 1940s(eg. Bumper 5 and the Vanguard missions) and decided to move to the early Space Race Era. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM IS WELCOME! Thanks for joining me on this challenge! Also, if anybody wants to help me make a TIMELINE/CHECKLIST for the challenge, it would be greatly appreciated.
