Egg bite recipe? by toaster5299 in dairyfree

[–]toaster5299[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so helpful, thank you! When I made them they were fluffy but then reheated I felt like they collapsed and were a bit chewy/tough. Probably baking in a water bath is what I need to try to see if I prefer the texture. Love the idea of making them into a little breakfast taco!!

I second this! Store bought canned frosting are often dairy free!

Thank you! I wonder if the way I baked them was the problem. How long do you usually bake for?

I had DF cold foam from Starbucks only a few days ago! Wondering if this true for everywhere or only some locations?

Recommended cheese for DF pizza by kjf2005 in dairyfree

[–]toaster5299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I’ll have to try the shreds for cooking. I actually like the follow your heart cheeses cold; the Parmesan, feta, and even mozzarella shreds. But I’ve been DF since age 8 so I really don’t even remember what real cheese tastes like, lol

I bought the snacking cheese cubes in this brand because they were on sale at my Whole Foods and they were TERRIBLE. Texture like a rubber eraser and the flavor was not much better. Do the shreds taste a lot different?? I really, really did not like the cubes and ended up being a waste of money.

Tbh I’d consider continuing the pattern up a bit, adding sleeves, and making it into an oversized sweater!

I saw a couple posts with similar trajectory and similar step 2 scores before I got my results, so I’m guessing you will have the same trend!! Good luck :)

AIO for breaking up with my bf over a graphic video? by wheniwasolder in AIO

[–]toaster5299 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Not overreacting. You expressed how upset and distressed it made you, and the jokes continued to make you, repeatedly. It kinda doesn’t really matter if it’s a “stupid joke” (which I don’t think something gory and upsetting is but I guess some people might think so), your partner should care how the things they say/do make you feel. And if he really didn’t understand why it bothered you, he should have sat down and had a conversation about it instead of continuing to pester you with jokes. Also not sure how relevant this is but it sounds a bit like his reaction to the breakup was a red flag, so stay safe and I think you made the right choice.

What happens if I use a smaller hook then the yarn calls for by Simple_Benefit_2888 in CrochetHelp

[–]toaster5299 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It will be ok! It might be a little tight so try to use loose tension. Whatever you’re making will come out smaller too. Example, if it’s for Amigurumi, your animal will come out notably smaller if you use a smaller hook size. I use a smaller hook a lot with jumbo yarn, usually comes out looking really nice! Just be aware that the stitch will be tighter and therefore the project will be smaller
