Braised Eggplant with Parm Vibes (Start Here) - Very good although my broiler does not work. I am a big fan of Eggplant Parm, but the real thing is a bit of effort to make. This is a great 30 minute/less fussy version. I really loved the texture of the eggplant as they didn't get mushy at all. Maybe add some toasted bread crumbs before serving to increase the Eggplant Parm vibes.

Rosemary Garlic Focaccia (Dessert Person) - Excellent. I don't own a stand mixer so this was about 15 minutes of kneading for me.

Walnut Brown Butter Chocolate Chip cookies (Start Here) - It's a chocolate chip cookie, maybe not the best one. But very good nonetheless.

Beet Brioche (Justine Cooks) - I used a precooked & packaged beet here, so the bread wasn't as vibrant as the picture. The bread was very delicious though. I definitely want to retry this with a fresh red beet.

Future Brownies (Start Here) - My partner absolutely loved these. He called them grown up brownies. The mochi texture is very unique and don't skip the cocoa dusting on top. (Maybe add a tiny bit of powdered sugar to the cocoa dusting as it is quite bitter)

Hen or rooster?

Two different chickens and can't decide if they are hen or rooster. The are a mix of Polish, Millie fleur D'Uccle, and Cochin.

The first one (slide 1&2) has the comb, but is really docile and doesn't really act like a rooster. The second one(slide 3 &4) spars a lot with the other two roosters in the bunch.

They are both about 12 weeks old. I'm trying to figure out if I have 2/6 roosters or 4/6 roosters... my guess is 4/6 haha

Let me know your thoughts please 🙏

Does anyone have experience with these brown beetles near the silk areas of corn?

Sorry I only have a crushed beetle.

They stink. They are brown, not irridescent like Japanese beetles. I have more photos below.

How to remedy?

Xmondo Super Red on Level 5/6 (dark) hair

Hi all,

I haven't colored my own hair since I was a teenager. I went with a semi permanent dye so I wouldn't have to commit and I wanted some practice before doing something drastic like bleaching.

This product was applied on dry hair that was washed the day before.

I ended up using the entire container of product in one sitting. I saw online that a container should have 2-3 uses, but I have longer hair. Just a heads up if you have hair longer than mine, I would get a 2nd container.

This is after the first rinse, so I haven't shampooed. I will update this post at a later date on how it's held up for anyone looking for color results if they are wanting to buy this product.

So far, I am happy with the results. I expected the color to be dark since I didn't prelighten my hair.

Hope this post was helpful to someone.

Am I eligible with Project Coordinator experience? Struggling to understand if my project portfolio is sufficient to qualify for the PMP.

Hi All,

I am trying to see if I quality under Set A Requirements.

- GED

- 2 years experience as a project coordinator working on mid-size to large scale construction projects. I worked under a PM, but I and my project team would say that I was a central driver for much of the administrative parts of the project from financials, contracts, submittals, and closeout.

- 4 years experience under title of estimator at a subcontractor although we didn't have anyone under the PM role. For many projects(multifamily and commercial), I was point of contact for everything from proposals, contract, submittals, orders, billing, and closeout.

- Currently procuring Google Coursera PM Cert and Udemy Andrew Ramdayal 35 hour

I understand "Helper" is not qualifying, but I feel like I have played a more than a small role on the projects I have worked on especially because PMs often delegate responsibilities in Construction.

Anyone with similar experience who can advise on eligibility?

Hi all, just sharing what I have planned for planting next month. I live north of Prescott in zone 7B.

Greenhouse has a lot of promising things in it. (I know the corn is a little silly to start ahead, but we have a lot of critters out here that eat baby plants.)

We are planning on keeping the annuals(tomatoes, peppers, etc) in containers/flood trays to save on water. (still need to set up drip system for automatic watering)

I have potatoes, volunteer peas, and wine cap mushrooms planted in the corrugated panel planter. (Planted in straw, old chicken bedding.)

Strawberries, onions, and radishes are currently in the stock tank planter.

The area with shade cloth will be primarily perennials like trees(figs, mullberries, pawpaws)/grapes and squash. We were going to buy a hoop house this year, but we were able to construct a shade structure with items we already had so that saved a ton of money.

Things will be going outside after mother's day when there's no chance of freeze, I can hardly contain my excitement for this year's growing season.

I dropped out of school in my freshman year of highschool due to personal/family issues. Not finishing highschool has always been something I have carried shame over, but I never pushed myself to getting the dang test done.

I watched getsummath for studies, but I did pretty well on my GED ready scores prior to studying.

My biggest advice is to just do it. Especially if you are scoring "Likely to Pass" on the GED ready tests. I am a chronic procrastinator who likes to trick myself into thinking I am a perfectionist. I kept telling myself that I would study harder to get a college ready + credit score, but I would never make time to studying.

I always love seeing people share their successes on here, so I just wanted to share mine.

Good luck on your tests!
