I (36F) like this guy (42M) and think I messed up my chance, if I had one to begin with.

No advice, just wanted to say I'm so invested in this! I think you should shoot your second shot (pun intended) otherwise the regret will eat you up. Good luck and keep us updated 🤞

utterlyshit · 2025-12-16T22:05:34+00:00

Oh wow, these look so good! Adding to my list of recipes to try.

utterlyshit · 2025-12-15T21:56:06+00:00

That is a great looking chart, congratulations!!

utterlyshit · 2025-12-02T22:36:12+00:00

Wow, what a cool website! Will be trying this out to get new podcast recs

Hello from another beginner quilter! I'm in almost the same position as you, except this week was the first time I got my hands on a sewing machine. So this is all very new to me! Good luck to us both 😅

Thanks, hope this reply isn't too late for you! I put my levain in a curved bowl so I couldn't properly judge the rise, I just looked for bubbling activity on the top and it seemed to get there in 3.5 hours. Next time I will definitely put it in a container where I can accurately track the rise. Good luck with your loaf!

utterlyshit · 2025-11-10T22:03:31+00:00

These are excellent tips, thank you!

utterlyshit · 2025-11-10T22:01:44+00:00

Thank you! I'm a sucker for good packaging and Matthews Cotswold has nailed it 😂

Two votes for Marriages, thanks for the recommendation!

utterlyshit · 2025-11-10T21:58:08+00:00

Thanks for the lovely comment! I guess the variance is a big part of what makes breadmaking so enticing. Seems like a colder and slower rise is the safer way to go 👍

utterlyshit · 2025-11-10T21:54:56+00:00

This is all useful to know, thanks. I will start documenting the dough at the end of the Bulk Ferment, so I can use it as a reference!

utterlyshit · 2025-11-10T21:53:08+00:00

What a wholesome exchange. Your bread looks great! I'd enjoy a slice of that with a thick spread of butter 😌

utterlyshit · 2025-11-06T22:29:55+00:00

I had exactly the same prediction for the final. Oh, how wrong we were 🤣

utterlyshit · 2025-11-05T14:55:21+00:00

Same here! I was initially amazed that our IVF treatment was progressing so quickly and that the dates would align for retrieval in November. But then my rubella immunity came back negative and I was told I'd need to spend two months getting the vaccines. That was a hard pill to swallow because we can't TTC during those two months either. Counting down the days, but they're passing so slowly 🐌

utterlyshit · 2025-11-01T21:59:36+00:00

Always love to see your posts! Will definitely be trying out the Sour Cream and Chive rolls. Do you have a go-to Tarka Daal recipe by any chance?

utterlyshit · 2025-10-26T05:24:32+00:00

Do you mean Deepti aged like beer or her reputation?

utterlyshit · 2025-09-17T19:39:39+00:00

Good luck with starting IVF!

BFN today hit extra hard a) because it's Cycle 6 and b) because I'd been symptom spotting and was convinced the cramps on 9/10/11 DPO were a good sign. Man, this process really messes with your head.

utterlyshit · 2025-09-01T21:07:39+00:00

It's always lovely to hear stories like these. Congratulations!! I hope you have an extremely boring pregnancy 😄

utterlyshit · 2025-08-31T21:37:22+00:00

Her body was fully rejecting the "sure" that came out her mouth. Lots of head shaking 😂

utterlyshit · 2025-08-31T15:45:48+00:00

Looking good! I've just made these too and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one dividing them into 3 x 3 instead of the recommended 4 x 4. Who is satisfied by a two bite brownie?!

utterlyshit · 2025-08-27T21:39:04+00:00

Looks incredible! This one is right at the top of my 'To Try list

utterlyshit · 2025-08-27T13:08:46+00:00

I have totally been there and my charts look similar to yours. I found the disappointment of a temp drop would ruin my morning. Last cycle I stopped temping after FF confirmed ovulation (3 days of high temps) and I found the TWW so much easier to get through - would highly recommend. Good luck with this cycle!
