As per the last ask about no in-betweens, Machete is s strawberry filled powdered doughnut due to his nose bleeds. Had to get that thought out into the world given they seem to keep morphing into food
Genuinely impressed these turned out as good as they did because SOMEONE (me) used twice as much butter as necessary for the cookies. Can't wait to try this one again the right way!
Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies - 3.75/5
These taste good but they're so much effort to make. Just find a really good snickerdoodle recipe you like more tbh, unless you want cookies that look cuter.
The reason why you never see me making posts about Vi and Jinx relationship is not because i don't care about their plotline. I am just unable to write a single paragraph about them without bursting into tears mid sentence.
I don’t remember being much of a Christmas person before. Life always got in the way, like the time I had to sit a university entrance exam on December 23rd. I was either busy working retail or wrapping up the school year and/or being deeply, clinically depressed. I rarely had the time or energy to put up Christmas decorations. Eventually I stopped doing a Christmas tree and focused on my nativity scene instead, which felt more meaningful to me for a variety of reasons. And then my dad died the week before Christmas and I gave up on the whole thing altogether. It took me a while to feel like doing even that much again, and sometimes I don’t end up doing it until December 24th.
Can’t even remember what was the point I was trying to make. I feel a touch disconnected from the seasonal mood, I guess. My dad was fun to buy presents for and got me truly special things. It’s just not the same without him, that’s just all there is to it. We adapt and choose what makes the most sense
Cheap substitute ‘milk’ exported from Europe into West Africa is hurting the region’s local dairy industry.
A collaborative investigation by Noteworthy and Nigerian news outlet Premium Times into Irish dairy in Nigeria has found that large volumes of cheap European exports into West Africa have outcompeted local milk on price.
This, according to NGOs and traders, has pushed many Nigerian dairy farmers out of business. -Daniyan Abimbola, a commercial dairy farmer from Ondo State in the southwest of the country, said this competition is the reason “some dairy farms are forced to shut down less than five years after they are established.”
Our investigation examined the export of fat-filled milk powder (FFMP). Though butter and cheese exports are more valuable, FFMP is Ireland’s largest dairy export in terms of volume.
But, according to European Commission regulations, were it to be sold within the EU, it could not be labelled a milk product.
The European Commission told Noteworthy that this product “can not bear the term ‘milk’ in their denomination” as according to EU regulations “milk products have to derive exclusively from milk”.
Consumers in Nigeria seem unaware of that fact, according to market research Noteworthy has seen that was commissioned by An Bord Bia.
The Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine (DAFM) told Noteworthy that “Ireland is committed to global rules-based international trade and is subject to EU agreements such as the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with West Africa”.

Just another example of neocolonialism. Practices like this only increases the number of migrants heading to the EU. They join the migrants whose lives have been devastated by the climate crisis.
watching korean bakeries' process videos on youtube is so. stressful. one second they're pushing the boundaries of confectionery by reinventing what a buttercream can be via culinary alchemy. next second they're mixing american cheese into creme anglaise
Imagine in a great mentor universe, when reader is pregnant, she orders a donut from Dunkin or whatever but they accidentally give her the wrong one and she doesn’t realize till she’s back at home and then she calls Andy while he’s at work just crying about her donut and how upset she is and he’s like “babe…it’s just a donut” and at first that makes it worse lmao, but then at the end of the day (or maybe he even leaves work early) he comes home with the donut reader had originally wanted🥹 I saw a tiktok similar to this but it’s soooo Andy coded 🤭🤭
