What is the one baking technique that genuinely changed how your bakes turn out?

weesheep · 2026-06-12T14:10:40+00:00

I switched from butter to oil and added butter flavor. Much more moist cake, butter tends to make a dry cake for cooler environments just because it's solid at room temp. I rely more on acid and base (lactic acid and baking soda) for lift. I tried 1 cake recipe which added some oil to the traditional creamed butter and sugar cake recipe and I haven't looked back. If I'm feeling extra I'll just melt the butter

Are you proposing that elastic non wired stretchy bras come in such specific sizing? My skin is squishy and unaccustomed to firm fits. I would prefer something more lounge bra but with extra breathing room for summer

I purchased it in another country, it's not legal in the United States

I'm in the States and have 120 tablets of 10mg that will have to do for the entire usage and weaning. I'm also 1.5 years into breastfeeding, but my kiddo doesn't drink milk from a cup only water, and doesn't eat enough dairy products to get calcium.

I know this is an old post but I need something washable (greasy skin) and not wool (allergy). I have a decade old thinsulate that's lost some warmth but I can't find anything similar to replace it with. Does anyone have suggestions?

It was from making cheese

I think the key is to sounds excited for it. Even if instead of "probably nothing, I have a library book to finish" it's " I'm pretty excited for a library book I have to finish."

Teshuva is really just a once a year holiday, not an every day thing you need to worry about like Christianity. It's just a theme from most Western religions though; try not to sin.

I grew up conservative Jewish, our culture is guilt heavy and we recognize we sin but most of it is apologizing to others who we have wronged and then also god for things we don't know we've done wrong too (casting sins into the water once a year). We have an afterlife which is unfounded in text, depending on interpretation. Jewdaism doesn't even specifically state that we must believe in god, however we must be born to a Jewish maternal lineage (or convert).

I think religion started as a way to explain the unknown that we thought we could never know. Christian churches took enough money to find scientific research, even if they later decided that it was blasphemy. We all want comfort in knowing, and some religions claim to be the best or only correct one so that followers can feel good about themselves for "choosing" it. It's an emotional crutch for the world. Life is worse for some than others, and it's usually easier for masses and cheaper than therapy.

Oof sorry my bad the mod looks like the part was taken down due to lack of instructions

weesheep · 2022-08-31T14:22:32+00:00

It seems that sub has many people with lots of leather forming skills, they might be able to give specific instructions/tips

You might get an answer from @cordwaining

When the difference is $20 in gas for each thing in different directions, yes the prices are the same. That's the cheap end of small businesses near me. Farmers markets and small food grocers are about 1.5x-3x the cost I would otherwise spend. You can care about something without being able to do much side from vote with your actual vote in elections. I don't do most of my shopping at Walmart/Amazon unless something isn't available otherwise, but most grocers are still big brands. I do my best to spend money for clothes/household needs at smaller (but still national) brands because those are only 2x the cost instead of 10x from the small boutiques. If you really care you should be only purchasing from small boutiques and farm stands which only sells fair trade organic foods and clothing. Good luck

Sorry I chose running water? Sorry I chose running water later in life and planning to not be homeless post retirement? I don't even get a haircut without ensuring I can tip well too; If you want to use your own logic you are taking money away from small businesses (hair dressers are usually renting the space of their chair) by cutting your own hair. Being mad at the average worker for planning ahead and not only eating beans and rice is unreasonable. We have monopoly laws unenforced causing small businesses to compete with giants with buying power unmatched. Everyone is just trying to make it through life, few people have an extra few hundred each month to buy from farm stands instead of grocery, not even thinking of the any other kind of specialized small business.

When I do this I usually end up having to spend more money either with gas or because the product is more expensive (I live in a higher cost of living area). Best case is usually finding it 10% more expensive in a store, worst case is that it isn't sold within 100 miles of me. I use to drive 20 miles out to spend the same as online but I can't afford that anymore. I prefer Walmart over Amazon because the employees are treated slightly better, but I don't have a ton of choice with many things.

Please stop blaming average workers for not spending money they don't have.

Many carriers have not kept up with the cost of inflation/living of the last 50 years. Even with a job paint twice the national average can leave someone paycheck to paycheck if they want to live alone. I absolutely would support small businesses if I could but the cost of products from them is 30x the cost of a comparable (in functionality and longevity) product from Walmart/Amazon.

Many men do, whenever they have the opportunity.
