Thank you for the tips! The recipe I was using mentioned the dangers of yolk in the white also, so I had a three bowl system. I didn't break any yolks though--this time!

Thank you so much! Looking at your egg whites, I don't think I beat mine enough. The instructions I had said to beat them until medium peaks formed, and that I'd know because they would make a peak, but then fall over half way. Since I'd never done it before I didn't have a visual reference of...

Well...chiffon cake did not go so well. It baked up very nicely in the oven, but during the cooling phase it seemed to deflate a little. Not enough to be a problem, but definitely noticeable. More problematically, it stuck to the parchment paper and broke apart in my efforts to get it off. My...

Let us know you're safe as soon as you can @baymule!

Phaedra, thank you so much for sharing these!! I am going to try and make a lemon roll cake, using a chiffon style cake. If rolling is successful, I'll try that rainbow cake again. I'm so grateful to you for sharing your baking. It's really helping me learn!

Got the ingredients for an experimental chiffon cake! I don't know when I'll find time to bake it, but hopefully this week. Got all my cold weather crops that need to be started indoors planted, and potted up some tomatoes!

This makes so much sense why it didn't work now. Thank you! I may try a regular chiffon cake just to see if I can do it and then go from there.

Oh my goodness! You know how to make cake rolls! I tried to make my daughter a rainbow cake roll, I don't believe it was this recipe, but something like this: https://www.dessertnowdinnerlater.com/rainbow-cake-roll/ I tried to bake it three separate times and no matter what I tried, the cake...

It looks so neat and tidy! You do a great job with your plants.

I have no idea! My mother-in-law showered me with gifts this Christmas, and one of them was a giant stack of these! I suspect they're a bulk buy off of Amazon. She gave me a really nice pepper dome last year (as a just because gift) and I took such a shine to them, she bought me about 50 for...

The garden is really coming along! My tomatoes almost entirely sprouted, and are just getting their true leaves. I think I need to move them a touch closer to the light, but they seem to be doing really well. I'll probably pot the bigger ones up soon. This is my pea plant timelapse, and I'm...

Yes I can! At least on future ones anyway. I didn't know how long it would take to see movement, so I had it set to add a frame ever 3 hours. This next one is set to take a picture every 2 hours. If that's too fast I'll try every hour. :)

But what about the 957 more plants I want to grow?! 😂

I just set up the new time lapse! I brought in some photography lights. It's a bit dim because my big ones won't fit, but at least it won't be super shadowy. I have 3 pea plants growing in it, all planted at different depths. I'm looking forward to seeing it!

This is fantastic! It actually showed me the proplifting one too...I guess they really want to encourage me to take home more plants!

My first time lapse is finished! Check it out here: I'm going to try again but bring in the light box to try and deal with the lighting issues. This is awesome!

Thank you!

I think every area has its problems. My house is wonderful and well protected from most threats, but there's no room. :(

Working on hot peppers! Last year I had great results with grandpas home, so I started a whole flat of them. Last year I had a problem with little helpers replacing my labels, so this year my husband hit on a great solution to label the base. We photographed it so even if the yellow labels get...

Yikes! Hope they have flood insurance. :(
