This is how they wrap surgical sets before sterilizing them (in a cloth not paper...god I wosh the cloth is a pain in the ass) except when they tuck the last bit in, they fold it over so the end is poking out of the box (like a pull tab).

I wrap gifts in fabric, not paper, but this is a brilliant way to recycle paper or use fabric to wrap.

is there anyone out there with a nyt cooking subscription

will they send me the chamomile tea cake with strawberry icing recipe

[alexseanchai]

This buttery, chamomile tea-scented loaf is a sweet pop symphony, the Abba of cakes. A pot of flowery, just-brewed chamomile isn’t required for drinking with slices of this tender loaf but is strongly recommended. In life and in food, you always need balance: A sip or two of the grassy, herbal tea between bites of this cake counters the sweetness, as do freeze-dried strawberries, which lend tartness and a naturally pink hue to the lemony glaze. This everyday loaf will keep on the counter for 3 to 4 days; be sure the cut side is always well wrapped.

Ingredients Yield: One 9-inch loaf ½ cup/115 grams unsalted butter 2 tablespoons/6 grams chamomile tea (from 4 to 6 tea bags), crushed fine if coarse 1 cup/240 milliliters whole milk Nonstick cooking spray 1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar ½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt 2 large eggs 1 large lemon 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1½ cups/192 grams all-purpose flour 1 cup/124 grams confectioners’ sugar ½ cup/8 grams freeze-dried strawberries

Preparation Step 1 In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon chamomile to a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot melted butter over the chamomile and stir. Set aside to steep and cool completely, about 1 hour. Step 2 Use the same saucepan (without washing it out) to bring the milk to a simmer over medium-high heat, keeping watch so it doesn’t boil over. Remove from the heat, and stir the remaining 1 tablespoon chamomile into the hot milk. Set aside to steep and cool completely, about 1 hour. Step 3 Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with the nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper so the long sides of the pan have a couple of inches of overhang to make lifting the finished cake out easier. Step 4 Add the sugar and salt to the bowl with the butter, and whisk until smooth and thick, about 1 minute. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, vigorously whisking to combine after each addition. Zest the lemon into the bowl; add the baking powder and vanilla, and whisk until incorporated. Add the flour and stream in the milk mixture while whisking continuously until no streaks of flour remain. Step 5 Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake until a skewer or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean (a few crumbs are OK, but you should see no wet batter), 40 to 45 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack for 30 minutes. Step 6 While the cake cools, make the icing: Into a medium bowl, squeeze 2 tablespoons juice from the zested lemon, then add the confectioners’ sugar. Place the dehydrated strawberries in a fine-mesh sieve set over the bowl and, using your fingers, crush the brittle berries and press the red-pink powder through the sieve and into the sugar. (The more you do this, the redder your icing will be.) Whisk until smooth. Step 7 If needed, run a knife along the edges of the cake to release it from the pan. Holding the 2 sides of overhanging parchment, lift the cake out and place it on a plate, cake stand or cutting board. Discard the parchment. Pour the icing over the cake, using a spoon to push the icing to the edges of the cake to encourage the icing to drip down the sides dramatically. Cool the cake completely and let the icing set.

I really like when older folks make funny videos. There's no age cutoff for having a sense of humor or being silly.

Hospital.

This scene took like a month to do, and I almost gave up on it twice. But it’s done.

My shameful secret, and why this is not just a recreation of part one of the old comic I did, is that... I hate that old comic. Like. It’s terrible.

Thank you to @themornal for doing all the voice work.

[pauliedraws]

In the games, Maya would sometimes say, “We’re lawyers” and I always would go “no one in this game should be able to call themself a lawyer, especially you Maya.” Anyone who sees these videos probably thinks I don’t like Nick because I only exist to bully him. I love Nick. He’s great. He’s just so easy to bully. 

Thank you to @themornal and @8edhead for doing the voice work again!

im just saying if disney wants to make a disney princess crossover now is the perfect time to do it because mirabel’s reaction to everything is the funniest thing you could possibly give to us

like she’s in elsa’s special magic glacier house and she’s like “wow our encanto has never gotten this much snow. when my tia pepa makes it it really only makes a little pile before she calms down” and elsa’s like “i’m sorry when your tia pepa does what”

[whencartoonsruletheworld]

mirabel: oh, you have a sister? what’s her gift?

elsa, loves to brag about her sister: she’s really good at charades

mirabel, nodding: ah. she’s really good at charades. nice

elsa:

elsa:

elsa: wait do you think she has magic too?

mirabel: oh is she like. the candle-holder?

elsa: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???

[whencartoonsruletheworld]

rapunzel: yea my hair can heal injuries

mirabel: oh sick my mom’s arepas can do that

rapunzel:

rapunzel: im sorry what

[whencartoonsruletheworld]

mirabel: i can’t talk to animals but my primo can. i’ve gotten real close with the rats though

cinderella: oh i love mice too!! aren’t they so nice?

mirabel: oh i’m not sure. they just kinda hang out because tio bruno lived with them in the walls for ten years

belle: your tio bruno what

cinderella: that’s a great idea i should’ve done that

belle: ella no

[whencartoonsruletheworld]

mirabel is thrown by absolutely nothing in the entire disneyverse except the talking snowman. he walks up and says “hi” and she does exactly what anna did: screams and kicks his head off
