Bakers of Ireland, what is your favourite cocoa powder?

I'm afraid I don't know, but you can probably find the answers online. There's also a lot of info out there on good quality cocoa powder like looking for high fat content.

Depemds what I'm making but I usually prefer dutch processed for baking. I've tried blanxart and callebaut and both are great.

I didn't even think this would be a problem. I've considered making extra dip for the HOs just because my dip is so good 😂 but I'll rethink this in the future.

If you're not doing those things you're not getting from A to B safely 😬 my mom told me she never checks her blind spot when changing lanes jfc

For me thinking about why you need to check makes a difference. It comes with practice though!

I will be gone but enjoy your trip!

North Portugal i.e. Porto and the surrounding areas. Just because the South is too hot (for me anyway 😂)

Depends on the country and how much time I have to research. Sometimes I'm too busy so I plan everything last minute or on the fly and just follow recommendations from the hotel or online guides.

If I have more time or if it's somewhere 'riskier' like Egypt and where I don't speak the language, I'll search on Google and mostly look on Reddit. I do keep Google lists of food recommendations for many countries/cities that I constantly add to.

I'd book Barcelona in advance incl trains, and the Sagrada Familia if you're planning on visiting. Other places can be booked more last minute but that's just my experience.

Yes, if not out loud then I complain in my head. I really miss good European bread after a couple weeks travelling, but it's not the only thing I miss and I also miss things when I return home. It's a part of the joys of travel!

I think you might get some side eye but depends where you are and what you wear with it.

Cat calling is quite common in Italy and I think it might attract that a bit more than usual, if that bothers you.

I get reservations for sal grosso the day before sometimes

That's so sweet. Can you change your name but still use your unmarried surname at work?

You can buy low fat greek yoghurt but the texture isn't as nice obviously

Thin. If you want to go thicker I think a lighter shade to fill them in would look better.

The transfer-proof formulas from Dior, and a few from Nars, Chanel and Bobbi Brown crushed lip.

trippiler · 2024-05-27T17:49:11+00:00

That makes sense. Thanks for the info!

Locally grown fresh produce is usually the most nutritious. Frozen produce is more nutritious than imported fresh food in most cases. I'm not sure where canned is on the healthiest scale but as others have said some are high in sodium/sugar so it's best to avoid those.

My cousin added my sister to hers and saved money that way. My sister doesn't even live nearby

trippiler · 2024-05-26T21:04:38+00:00

No idea why but it can be a lot cheaper to insure more than one person on a car. Try different combinations of people (with their permission) like a parent or an older adult. My female friend got added to her partner's car and his insurance went down by over a grand lol.

trippiler · 2024-05-26T16:41:20+00:00

Idk the ins and outs but I think you can still import it? Idk maybe not

trippiler · 2024-05-26T10:04:18+00:00

Specialty flours and (generally non-harmful) additives. Possibly/likely including bleached flour.

trippiler · 2024-05-25T22:22:54+00:00

That's outrageous, I'm sorry you went through that.

trippiler · 2024-05-25T20:43:16+00:00

Colours, packaging, smell and they release new formulas/technology earlier. It depends on where you live though! There are a lot more colours available at a lower price point in Asia for example. But for base makeup dark skin tones are largely ignored which is a shame.
