So I had my very first allergic reaction in mid July to strawberry ( throat started closing)

As of now, the only foods I've had similar reactions to are cucumber, strawberry and oranges.

After having my first allergic reaction, I decided to schedule an appt with an allergist to make sure what I had was an allergic reaction.

Well I had my food allergy test and enviromental.

Everything in yellow / anything 2+ is something I reacted to in the test. For the next 2 weeks I have to take all of these foods out of my diet and then introduce them back in again to see what is causing my symptoms ( nausea, vomiting etc)

Here's the problem, I'm vegetarian and have never eaten meat. I tried pork and fish and I just don't like it. I hate how it tastes

Im so terrified of this possible future where everything I loved, now can no longer eat. I'm in my mid 20s, I'm so confused how this can just happen

I legit had oranges on the 30th of August and didn't have a reaction and on Thursday I had a reaction to it. I'm legit so confused by all of this.

Sorry for the rant. This is all new to me.

I'm not sure what to expect as no one in my family has allergies. Any tips would be great, I live in the US where everything has corn too😭

So i'm a little confused

Finally got my first rover review. It's not on my account at all. When I look at my reviews I just see the reviews from people who reviewed me previously when i set up my account and sent them my link.

Does that mean they just gave me a star rating and left it at that? Idk who gave me this rating either, I'm so sad :(

I love this lil lady so much😭

I've been watching her for a week now and she's so funny

so much character. Every time i come back from either work or doing something outside she takes my shoes!! It's so cute.

I was holding my phone after texting someone and around the same time a house sitting request came in😭 safe to say they stopped responding... I apologized and everything!!!

I hate this feature. Is there a way to turn it off?

So if you saw my last post

I posted about how I was using King arthur bread flour for the first time after mainly using their all purpose flour for most of my loaves.

It turned to straight liquid so I added 60g extra of flour

( recipe is

• 510g flour ( plus the 60g extra which makes it 570
• 100g starter
• 10g salt
• 20g honey
• 390g filtered water)

This is the recipe I used a lot and it always gave me beautiful loaves. In my post history I posted about some other loaves I made but those were from me testing a low hydration.

Well after adding the extra flour in the mixer and stretch and folds/ slap folds ( i added pimento olives and blue cheese [my dad requested this I hope it tastes good..] during the last set of stretch and folds bc I forgot to add it earlier lol) . I use the temp chart as a rough estimate and it says 14 hours ( dough was 68F , house is 70F)

I was at work so my dad couldn't get to it til 15 hours BF and it looked good so it went in the fridge. In this video it was in the fridge for almost 2 hours..

I'm going to bake it tonight so Let's see how it goes!

So this is the same recipe I use every time.

390g water 510 flour 10g salt 20g honey

I've done this recipe several times and it's given me great loaves. The only difference is I always used arthur red bag but decided to switch to blue bag to see the hype!!!

I'm not sure what to do. This is right after mixing it on my stand mixer for a few minutes. Which i have also done before and have gotten good loaves. I'm letting it rest for an hour and I'll see how it is, instead of stretch and folds I plan to do slap and folds to build more gluten.

should I add more flour?

So my normal every day starter started growing mold bc I forgot to put it back in the fridge, so i pulled some starter from my discard jar and started making bread as normal/ feeding it before I made bread etc. The last 2 loaves have been dense as hell.

If you look at my post history it'll show how this one looked after fermenting. I'm trying to strengthen my starter rn by feeding it every day and leaving it in the oven without the light on. I feed it a 1:2:2 every day and it still smells like nail polish after. I did a 1:4:4 today so hopefully that will help. Should I do something else

Here's the recipe for the pics above !

125g active starter 320g warm water 10g salt 20g honey 525g bread flour

Once I mixed the starter/water and salt together I started my timer. Kneaded in stand mixer for 10 minutes after mixing it together.

Let it rest an hour and started my stretch and folds every 30 mins. Transferred it to the plastic bowl and checked the temp, It was 74F. So i figured using the temp chart as a guide it should be ready in about 5.5 hours or so ( it had already been 2.5 hours and with a temp of 74F it said it would need 8 hours to ferment)

Well at midnight, the 5.5 timer went off, it didn't look fermented at all. It barely doubled so I was going to give it another hour. Well I accidentally slept through my alarms and woke up at 5:30am.... Thank god I forgot to turn off my work alarm or else it would have fermented until 11:30 am when I usually get up on my days off lol

At 5:30am I put it in the fridge and was planning to shape it when i woke up ( i work mornings so there was no way in hell I was going to wake up and do stuff this early on my day off) and then put it in the fridge longer after shaping!

( reposting here, accident posted it in Depop not depoop 😭)

But i feel like this shouldn't be allowed? right?

So i got this a week ago, and if you look at my post history you will see my navel piercing that was done by the same piercer. I posted it looking for advice but found out i dont have the anatomy ( realized i didn't get a floating navel like the piercer said)

Well i decided to get it checked out by a different piercer and he was shocked that she even did my navel and said I didn't even have the anatomy for a floating navel.

He said the industrial was done far too high and both jewelry is externally threaded and he thinks i might be having a slight allergic reaction to the metal.

I got it done 8 days ago and im still in a lot of pain. Like just touching my ear hurts a lot.

I had this weird piercing/ shooting pain going from my belly button piercing up my body.

Do i take both out? Even if i switch the navel to a floating?

i legit don't know what to do, how can i even try to get my money back😭 i spent 160$ on these 2 piercings so im so mad i wasted all this money.

So I got what I thought was a floating naval piercing on the 28th. I'm about to book a jewelery change with a different piercing shop this week because I posted this in the piercing advice reddit page and 2 people said it would reject . Before i spent more money on new jewelery. Will it reject?

The second last pic is of me sitting with poor posture. The last pic is of me with better posture.

I go back to work in 2 weeks after being on med leave and decided to treat myself to my dream piercing.

I'm worried because I have to wear jeans at work (sbux barista). Anything I can do that prevents the jeans from causing any problems ? i got it done on the 28th!!

I've been wearing low rise jeans/ just pulling my pjs lower lol .

any tips in general would be great!!!
