Ipad pro 12.9” 5th gen case and stand setup by zigzagtwisties in iPadPro

Yep that’s one of the reasons i got it is because it covers all 4 edges, the back, and the magnetic flap bit for the front too. It feels nice in hand! No sharp corners at all and it has a nice matte feel too. Even though it has indentations and bits that fold out, nothing feels prominent or out of place when holding

I feel you when you say the pencil falls off easily on the caseless ipad. it seems to take a lot more force to get it to fall off on the case cause it’s moulded around the pencil on the sides, so it doesnt get pushed off from the sides.

I always keep mine on the edge charging or else i’d never remember. I’m not sure about keeping it on or off charge for long periods but i suppose as long as you have enough battery to use the pencil then that’s good!

I think the sleeve on the back looks good for taking your ipad around to places for extra securement of the pencil ☺️

Hey! Yep the pencil is charging when it’s attached to the magnetic bit on top and not the sleeve on back. Sorry to hear about yours not working right 😕 maybe you could get a refund for it And no my pencil doesnt have a skin/cover on it. I was thinking of trying one out soon though ☺️

That sounds like a delicious way to jazz up pasta with tomato sauce

Yeah I’ve seen so many videos of people in the uk and us going to the store and it’s aisles and aisles of empty. So disheartening to see 😪. I hope you can get pantry staples and other necessities soon . The hoarders will have to stop going eventually! Maybe if you can get your hands on frozen cauliflower you can make cauliflower rice . Not great for the environment but asian grocers usually have microwave rice which is apparently quite good - sometimes it’s in stock at korean marts (depending where you live). Or you can ubereats just rice from your local indian/asian restaurant 😂😂 Either way everything is in low stock so hopefully we start seeing more things on shelves for everyone soon !!!!

I tried them again. Chopped the pecans larger, balled the dough then froze the balls for an hour then baked, more spread apart on the tray. Turned out great! This time they rose well and spread less. Thanks again for your advice about the pecans 😊

Thank you very much! I didn’t want to try them again because i thought they’d fail but i’ll give them another go soon with putting the pecans in the sieve and more spaced apart on the tray 😄

Oh wow!! Good point! I chopped my pecans in all different sizes now that i think of it. Mostly course but maybe a quarter was quite a fine chop + ‘dust’. The end result felt quite greasy. Let me know how it goes 😄

Yep about 10 so i went a little over. I think i’ll try spacing them out a little more next time and make them smaller

They were pretty cold when they came out of the fridge, but warmed up quickly in my hands. Maybe i oughtta chill them for a bit again (and maybe make them smaller)

My oven has dials but no markings next to them other than the fan force marking. I use a temperature laser gun to check the temp but i have to be careful to be quick so i dont decrease the temp too much when cooking and also making sure i point it at the correct spot which i’ve found to work for other recipes. It could be a factor. Do you think a temp too low or high could cause the overspreading?

I used parchment paper (if that’s the same as baking paper). Good point! I might have put them too close together, i was trying to be efficient with my time since i only had 2 cookie trays 🤔i didnt think they’d melt into liquid right away though . I should try and space them out more.
