The joys of transferring pizza dough into a small domestic oven

Still tasted absolutely delicious 🤷🏻‍♀️

Pickled pepper pizza snack (250/2)

Mushrooms plus pepperoncini = THE best vegetarian pizza topping. Something about the spicy, briny, slightly sour pepper crunch in combination with the almost meaty charred mushroom is just delicious. And it's much leaner, and slightly healthier, than any deli meats. Full fat mozzarella too, which pulls so nicely.

165 for one wholemeal pita bread (70g), split open

3 tbsp pizza sauce, ~10

20g grated mozzarella, 66

1 sliced raw mushroom, ~ 3

1 sliced pepperoncini, ~ 10

The unspoken brief in the s22e6 challenge

Also, the unspoken winners were obviously Christian and Molly, who completely redesigned Brian's look for him.

She's a toothless, geriatric bouncer backer (17-ish)

Two months ago we thought we would have to put this old lady down. Always spry and active, she woke up one morning disorientated with bad coordination and weak back legs. She had trouble emptying her bladder and got very constipated, we were at the vet almost every day, going back and forth on admitting her for a catheter or not, given her high blood pressure and heart disease. Urinalysis and x-rays were inconclusive. She got pain meds, muscle relaxers, antibiotics, laxatives, B12, and other stuff I'm sure. I had a whole spreadsheet for the medications so I wouldn't forget any, and her toilet visit diary. For the first time since I found her in 2011 she had accidents outside the litter box, although her going at all was a huge relief. Nothing like desperately digging in litter for clumps while sobbing! We got new, extra accessible toilets, and every variety of food and treat under the sun so she wouldn't stop eating. Including lightly whipped cream, not liquid, not too stiff! Still, she was either lying down on the floor, or pacing and complaining, not jumping on anything, not climbing, not scratching, or grooming herself. Just miserable, and smelly, and miserable about being smelly. She's always been a meticulous, poised lady, with a strict regiment for showers and manipedis. I was terrified she would stagnate and this would be the end, as I couldn't accept that quality of life for her.

After about a week she started to slowly improve, but she was still very anxious, and unable to jump. Once she was more stable we started her on Solensia, and she improved almost overnight. It's amazing to see her enjoying life again, jumping up to all her favourite spots, including all the places she's not supposed to go, and using her senior litter boxes like a champ. We never found out what exactly caused the episode. More extensive testing would have required putting her under, which is too dangerous at her age. I'm so happy our vet didn't give up on her. She might not have any teeth left, but she's got grit 🩷 and hopefully many sun filled years to come.

S23E3 winning collection - no discussion?

I wanted to see way more of that collection? It was the clear and obvious winner IMO. I even ended up loving the babydoll, which I thought was cuckoo bananas ugly in the workroom. Couldn't they have cut out 2 minutes of wailing instead? 😡

Another frosting option: chocolate creme pat

I'm always looking for less sweet frostings that don't require icing sugar, and I'm impressed by this one. Full disclosure, I ended up sweetening it with a glug of maple syrup once cooled (no grittiness, plus shine) and adding a bit of salt. I also think the chocolate could be even punchier so I'm gonna play with the butter and chocolate content, maybe reduce the cornstarch a touch. I used soy milk as the base and naturli block as butter.

How to pipe this onto cupcakes but avoid 💩?

This is a lovely chocolate pastry cream that has a pipeable consistency but it's 2am and I would love to avoid too many attempts. Any advice on piping tips? Should I just spackle it on? It's so hard to avoid that classic stool sample look and I don't want to end up on r/poopfromabutt 😬🥹 also I'm not like... the bestest at piping.

Pecan pie spelt galette

Not the season for it, but I ate all the fruit I originally planned to put on it. The crust recipe is from the free magazine our grocery store puts out, which is surprisingly good! 50% wholegrain spelt flour, 50% all purpose, brown sugar, vegan butter, ice water. I used this recipe for the topping, but only added enough maple syrup for a not too liquid consistency: https://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/easy-vegan-pecan-pie/#recipe

I also toasted the pecans beforehand because I like them extra crunchy and intense.

Would 100% make this again, super easy to put together, very tasty, not too sweet because the filling is fairly thin. This is my second wholegrain spelt pastry crust, and I find it very easy to work with if you add water by feel and keep the crust chilled. I'm already pondering savoury galette options.

Weight loss surgery for brain calories?

While I have of course stopped *consuming* c%£&ries (ew), it's hard not to think about them. I have a lot of nutritional values memorized, and I'm worried they're literally **WEIGHING** me down! Is there a skinny legend lobotomy? Maybe I can contract some sort of brain eating disease? Please don't suggest tape worms, they're simply too rich and nutritious.

/uj why can't I remember people's names or my family's birthdays but I know how many calories are in a cup of herbal tea or a Lindor truffle, that's not gonna be useful when wwIII breaks out, is it.

My horrid (fat!!!) wife ate the middle out of my special birthday bread 😭

I'm just so sad, the middle is the best part!

eta: it's not an AI pic, I just have nice light in my kitchen and access to top tier snacks.

Gewalt ist doch eine Lösung!

Es geht ihr wieder besser, und das wird schamlos ausgenutzt. Sie quakt und tatzt im Zweifelsfall einfach, bis ich das Arbeiten aufgebe und sie hochhebe. Ansonsten wird entweder im Flur oder der Kammer auf dem Boden geschlafen. Einfach neben mir sitzen und entspannen? Viel zu durchdacht. Ich hoffe, dass wir ab der zweiten Solensia Spritze auch mental eine Verbesserung bemerken 😬
