kaberett1. Vegan waffles. What do? We've tried this recipe with almond milk and it stuck to the waffle iron hideously, even greased; we reduced the sugar some and it stuck less, but still stuck. We are a bit reluctant to Invest in flax seed etc etc etc so would be Interested In Your Recommendations. Our default eggs-and-dairy waffles are smitten kitchen's & very happy with them we are, too.
2. Bathroom grout. PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME THE WAY OF THE BATHROOM GROUT. It seems to me that living in a hard-water area there is Nothing One Can Do to stop it getting grotty, and if one scrubs it it... scrubs off... and needs replacing... and is even grottier in the meantime... and I am intimidated and dismayed by all of this, basically, but I want to learn how to Fix It and indeed if there is any way to stop the problem arising in the first place. (Presumably a better option than scrubbing the scale is to apply descaler and then very gently & tenderly remove it when the sponge side of a sponge?) (In related news: turns out I was avoiding cleaning the bath because I felt A Moral Obligation to use up the Open Bottle Of Bath Stuff, of uncertain vintage and provenance, in spite of the fact that I was allergic to it, resulting in... never cleaning the bath... until I peremptorily summoned A in the middle of a shower last week to Request that he tell me to be Sensible. Bath: now clean.)
3. ... oh right that was my third How Adulting question: I have some hiking trousers that have unhemmed themselves & torn a bit. I've stuck the hem back up with the ironing webbing Stuff (i.e. got A to do it when I got scared of the iron) but I also want... to do it a bit of a hem... and I'm intimidated. I have access to a basic sewing machine and also a desire to learn some hand-sewing principles. Advice & guidance?
