Whenever I use silicone moulds to make chocolate, I start to get this powdery residue after washing. I've tried soaking them in boiling soapy water, I've given them a good scrub with the sponge, but it remains. I've seen one post online saying it might be cocoa butter? But I can't find anything definitive.
Does anyone know what it is and if it's harmful? It only appears after I've made chocolate in it a few times. If it makes a difference, I used plain chocolate with additional mint or orange oil. Sometimes I put it in the freezer to help it set faster.
May the 4th be with you.
TIL that in 2001, my old tripod.com site was hacked.
I was looking up my old site, because I was trying to remember an old #freeware #DOS game that I used to play that never got past the demo stage.
And after I looked up my site on the #WaybackMachine, this popup came up. And while I wasn't above putting joke popups, this is not my style at all. I took my site very seriously!
I must have had a third party hit counter or something that was compromised. The 2004 capture doesn't seem to show it and I later migrated to my uncle's domain (when he complained about my site trying to install a dialer on his computer), before abandoning the site completely after a few years. Man, it took me 25 years to find out my website had been hacked. Nooooooooo! I still have the html files I think, so I'll look up my code.
Why the heck has #Telegram added AI to the mobile app? And you can't even turn the damn thing off.

Omgggg I've been wondering if there's a way to search through my own posts and I just saw a tip today on how to do it.
Just type from:@[your full user id] and then your search term.
Holy carp.

YouTube makes it difficult to copypaste long comments, so please refer to the original video if you're unable to read the screenshots.
I am trying the pause method, but I think the only reason it's been working is because I'm in a slump and just less inclined to talk in general. Oversharing is a big problem for me, and I have the issues these commenters talk about. I really wish I knew how to control it all the time, but sometimes it's such a strong impulse, my inner voice is saying "Shut up!" but my mouth just runs away.
I had it right when I was fully mute 😪

Edit: it's from a book, not a newspaper clipping.
I usually make my own pizza from scratch, but there are reasons why I prefer to spend as little time in the kitchen as possible these days. So I've been relying on Lidl's frozen vegan #pizza when they have it in.
Anyway, my supply has run out. Napolina used to sell plain pizza bases, but I couldn't find any. I had to make do with these flatbreads as a pizza base.
They're plant based and contain extra pea and wheat protein.
Yes, I use tomato puree as the sauce, fight me. Come on, come say that to my face. Yeah, that's what I thought.
I'm not super keen on these flatbreads as a pizza base though. The taste isn't bad, but it's not what I was hoping for. I also prefer thicker bases, rather than the thin, crisper ones.
But it'll do as a substitute until I can get my own kitchen. Then I can start making my own bases, and who knows, I might even upgrade from tomato puree to a proper pizza sauce. And have an oven with a thermostat that works, because it hasn't been damaged by a tower of pans and tawis.
Imagine. An oven that is an oven and not a freaking cupboard. I've never in my life experienced that outside the food tech kitchens at school.
@JorisBohnsonPM@mastodon.social tangential, but relevant.
