Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm watching Palladia, and there's a video by this group Mgmt (I think) called Kids, and they're tormenting a toddler in it. The kid is fucking terrfied, and there are all these people in monster costumes grabbing at him. I don't get how people let that happen. Make that happen.
Exactly my reaction. That video appalls me.
That video appalls me.
I couldn't finish watching it. Hysterical toddlers are not entertainment.
Baking soda doesn't go bad, does it?
I think it eventually loses potency. But I don't bake a ton, so I'll have the same can for years.
Baking soda doesn't go bad, does it? Because that's possibly part of the leavening issue.
It can lose effectiveness but it takes a long time, iirc. There's a simple test to see if it's still good, if I can remember it or find it again...
Subbed 1/4c cocoa powder for flour (ran out) when making my scotch(or bourbon or whatever) choc chip cookies and I think I've made chocolate cake donut flavored cookies. They are amazingly delicate in flavor.

Add some to some vinegar?
baking soda loses potency with age (insert joke here). Easy enough to check: just mix a teeny bit with a little vinegar. if it does a volcano impression, there's nothing wrong with the baking soda.
Add some to some vinegar?
Yeah, that's it. Too simple for me to remember.
That sounds delicious, sarameg. I've had a mild craving for cake donuts for a couple of days now and I don't know where to find any to buy or how to make them. Alas.
Wasn't what I was expecting, but it works. Can't really taste the scotch unless you know it is in there because the cocoa is so strong, you wouldn't realize the slight smokiness is from the scotch.
Loki's decided something fascinating lives in one of the speakers. He really wants to take the fabric off the front. He's so noodgey tonight and it is too damned cold to take him for a walk (he wouldn't go, anyway. He lasted on the deck for about 10 seconds before wanting in.)
I had a craving for Milano cookies. So I actually left the house and went to Target. On a Sunday. I think I grossly overestimated both my energy and my health.
Now I'm back in indoor pants and a sweater. I hate being sick during gorgeous weather.
