![]() You don’t want the cake to over-inflate while baking and then fall when you take it out of the oven.Įxtracts: You can use whatever flavor you like but I’ve learned to combine vanilla and almond. It’s critical to use room temperature milk, only. I use half milk, half water (since I only keep whole milk in my house). Milk: Milk adds additional fat to the recipe, which gives the cake an incredible richness. And guess what? It really enhances the flavor, as well. It gives the cake a sturdiness that makes it absolutely perfect for stacking. Vanilla pudding: The addition of instant pudding along with the dry ingredients really makes the difference in this recipe. I use four egg whites in place of the whole eggs. A box of cake mix calls for three whole eggs. ![]() (There have been times when I’ve skipped the butter altogether and used only oil, but I love the creamy, rich texture that butter brings.)Įgg whites: One way I keep the cake bright white is by using only the whites of the eggs.

That said, I needed my white cake to be extraordinary. (And let’s be honest: it’s a safe bet when you’re wanting to feed a big crowd.) They knew that their guests would appreciate the simplicity. In the end, though? People asked for white (vanilla) cake. And yes, my Cookie Butter cake got some rave reviews. (It ran a close second, along with my Ultimate Chocolate Cake). Sure, people loved my Italian Cream Cake. I took more orders for white cake than any other. How do I know this to be true? I ran a cottage bakery for years. (I’m a fan!) But the most popular cake by far, the one you see most often at weddings, anniversaries, or even birthdays, is a simple white cake with some sort of berry filling.

Nearly every cake project starts with a box (and I’m partial to Pillsbury because it’s the right density for stacking). When I’m in baking mode, I’m usually putting together a lot of cake layers at once. I love starting with boxed mixes, and not because I’m lazy. It’ll do in a pinch, but this doctored boxed mix will always be my first choice, no questions asked! It Starts with a Box I baked eight cakes before I found even one that came close to this one.

Her deep, deep dive into a confusing world where gigantic torrents of cash swirl between unknown and frequently slightly alarming places. When the FT’s Patricia Nilsson started looking into who owned the biggest company in the global porn business, she was stumped. Spin-off podcast Ten Thousand Posts with Hussein Kesvani and Phoebe Roy goes further into the intersection of Twitter and Facebook and British culture, and how 'poster's brain' – the need to say stuff online which no normal human being ought to, simply because it sounds good online – has infected the commentariat and political classes. Only here will you get reminders that Angela Rayner was once asked on Question Time whether the Labour Party would nationalise sausages. It's a lot funnier than that makes it sound. Instead, everything is refracted through the lens of tech and social media, and the slow degradation of our political system over the last two decades. Making sense of things by looking at YouGov polls and whatever the lobby hacks are hearing can only explain things so far, and Trashfuture is about as far from the usual spoddy, insiderish British politics podcasts as it's possible to get.

Pay careful attention to employees throughout the collection process.Listed below are the DOT’s 10 Steps to Collection Site Security and Integrity which all collectors must follow for all collections: If any outside person enters the restroom between donors, the ExamOne collector must do a full inspection of the restroom and re-secure. Collectors will be responsible for securing the restroom prior to beginning any collection event and again between each donor.On average, one collector is able to complete approximately 6 to 7 donors per hour. If multiple collectors are requested, there must be a dedicated restroom available for each collector. If a multi-stall restroom is used, only one (1) stall will be used for the event as only one (1) donor is permitted in the restroom at a time. Single stall restrooms are preferred although multi-stall restrooms are permissible.The only individuals permitted in the restroom during the event are the collector and each individual donor. Restroom must be dedicated to the collection event and not available to the general public during the event.In order to ensure the security and integrity of the collection process, restrooms must meet the following minimum requirements: The information that follows outlines the facilities required as well as the instructions that the collector’s will be following.

By the end of level two, students know several verb tenses, are able to recognize and use important grammatical particles, and have mastered hundreds of high-frequency vocabulary words and phrases. The first two levels in the Korean language program at LanGo focus on learning and practicing the beginner basics of the language. The third line provides the English translation. The second line shows the transliteration using Revised Romanization with dashes (-) to denote select morpheme boundaries (e.g., particles, grammatical affixes, and verb endings for the informal polite speech style) and dots ( For each story, the first line is in Korean (i.e., written in Hangeul). This post highlights the impressive final projects created by our beginner Korean students, who put together everything they’ve learned so far to produce the awesome collection of Korean short stories below. Particularly fascinating (to us as learners) is finding nuanced cultural differences in classic stories known around the world that have been translated into another language.įor these reasons, one of our favorite ways to assess learner progress at LanGo is through fun, but challenging, final projects that involve stories. They impart interesting cultural information, like storytelling styles in your target language, the types of characters that are salient, and the kinds of behaviors and values they embody, as well as common scenes and conversations that play out in daily life. Stories in any language take you to an imaginary world created by the author(s), in turn taking your mind away from the process of studying and enabling you to learn more naturally and intuitively. Once you know the beginner basics of the language, it is a very rewarding feeling to be able to draw on that knowledge to read, or even write, your own Korean short story.įinally, stories transmit cultural values and information. Learning a language through stories boosts your confidence and gives you motivation to reach the next level of study. Simple storylines give context to the vocabulary you know, while the repetition and visuals used as the story progresses make the words and phrases stick in your mind. The same goes for easy and short Korean stories. ![]() If you find that K-pop songs are earworms that help you easily remember words and expressions, it’s even harder to forget the stories, songs, and nursery rhymes that we learned as children! Bet you still remember the simple lines and catchy rhymes from the short stories that helped you learn the basics of your first language (e.g., “Goodnight Moon,” “The Very Hungry Caterpillar,” “The Giving Tree,” etc.). They help you build your foundational skills in the language, and help you put together the building blocks that you need to thoroughly understand before advancing to more difficult skills and concepts. Just as they worked for learning your first language, stories are invaluable for learning another language. That’s because stories build and reinforce your language skills. Learning a language with short, easy stories is a fun and very effective way to practice what you have learned in your target language.
