Right now, mine is buying the fancy expensive dark chocolate 🍫
On a big desserts kick right now. Just made a Black Forest gateau. Better than getting drunk.
Recommend me recipes? My problem is that I enjoy the baking more than the eating though haha
I highly recommend basically anything from Sally’s Baking Addiction. I’ve never had one of her recipes fail, and they’ve always come out absolutely delicious to the delight of my family and friends. I also like her site because she actually covers a lot of details about what’s important to pay attention to in each recipe, which substitutions work & which don’t, qualitative as well as quantitative criteria for each step, and both metric and US customary units for ingredients.
Recent award-winners include her Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, Seriously Fudgy Brownies, Maple Pecan Tassies, Gingerbread Cookies, Very Peanut Butter Cookies, and multiple cheesecakes based on her classic recipe.
I also recently made Claire Saffitz’s chocolate layer cake that was featured in NYT Cooking.
Thanks for the detailed response! Saved it, will pick something to try when I next go to the grocery store
I went through a chocolate period and that was fun. At this point, uh, buying liquor. Not even the expensive stuff now though.
I want to say be careful but I don’t want to sound patronizing. Alcoholism scares me
Alcoholism isn’t required for drinking liquor. It’s optional.
Fair enough
I buy a can of rice pudding, eat it out of the tin
Simple pleasures
mood
And lick it clean.
Kit-kats and a jerk session. 2 for before and 2 for after
Chocolate is definitely different with that spicy jerk sauce aftertaste.
Fruits
Oh man I am treating myself with white nectarines rn!
Found a neat trick, the house is freezing so I didn’t want to bite into a cold nectarine so I threw it in the oven at the lowest setting for like 10 mins and it came out SO JUICY AND SWEET!
Like roast apples I guess.
Fruit rules!
Fruits!
A decent steak. Cooking it is as rewarding as eating it.
Getting my nails done!
I love painting my nails too, but I can never keep it looking nice for more than 3 days 😔 any tips?
Honestly my nails are so thin and brittle they break if I look at them too hard and painting them myself never stays on for more than a day. If you have strong nails get a gel manicure and if your nails are like mine I get gel with acrylic nails and fill them in every 3 weeks.
Spending time here.
Yeah actually this is it for me
I feel ya, I enjoy talking to cool folks online. What are your favorite spots on Lemmy for good conversation?
This community and the two ask lemmy subsections. For everything else, it depends on the circumstances.
The coconut waters that have the additional pineapple flavor.

Getting a monthly massage
I’ve never had one, but I’ve been considering getting a sports massage. Do you have a specific type of massage that you like? What do you look for in a masseur/clinic?
You’ll have to try different things to find what you like! I get a lot of deep tissue and therapeutic work done.
I also am a massage therapist, so I’d be happy to answer any questions!Thanks, I will look those up!
Hmm, I guess my main question is what I should know before booking a massage and what red flags to look out for? I also recall reading somewhere that you have to get massages regularly to get the full benefit of them, like weekly/monthly, is that true?
Going to Lidl to see what new continental sweet foods they’ve got that day on the middle aisle.
Every now and then our Lidl (in Germany) has a French Week. The Muffins they sell are amazing. They are filled to the brim with chocolate cream and the amount of sugar in these things will hit your brain like a truck.
Incredibly unhealthy. But I don’t care. They are like sweet crack.
Turning my phone off and playing computer games all night.
Same but with books for me
Many many packs of nori and a few beers.
Crunching away like a goofball
😋
Crunchy foods are fun
Getting wrapped in a blanket, sitting in front of the PC with a bowl of Nachos with Cheese and playing Factorio while watching or listening to true crime videos/podcasts.
The factory must grow
📈
A hot bath. Or if I need extra, a night at the local Kabuki-style bath house.
I love taking baths when I’m sore! Too lazy to take them otherwise. Do you have any special bath time rituals or anything you do to make it more fun?
It’s easier some times than others. If I’m engrossed in a book it makes a great pairing.
My partner also takes baths for relaxing a lot and he will put a computer on a chair and watch TV while soaking.
