October Make Something Month: Week 2
October Make Something Month: Week 2
Howdy y’all! Another week has flown by. This is the second update post, so comment below with your progress, challenges, and next steps. See you all next week!
Hey! It's my first post, I missed the first one. I found my first IT-related job, and I am really enjoying it.
The thing is that I am almost certain I'll go back to study
This is because I am spending 4h on public transport to arrive at the place (2h go, 2h come back) and it's not the kind of job you can stay in forever. Low salary and almost no possibility to promote.
What do you all think? There are more things to tell, but I want to hear other voices :)
I am in the last semester of my studies which I resumed again because my current job had no room for growth. It was a huge amount of money that had definitely upgraded my knowledge and abilities, but I'm not convinced it will translate to a better job, at least right away. Will probably take 6-12 months to find a better role I am anticipating
Are your studies related to the job you have quite (or planning to quit)?
If not, I think the waiting would be a fair price to get a job in which you are happier in my opinion
I haven't gotten to make more caramel, but I did eat my last batch. Definitely the right chew, but so pale it looked like raw chicken, and the fat didn't emulsify so it was, as my SO immediately described it, "gweasy." Picture: https://postimg.cc/qtY5kV6g
Recipe was as follows:
- 192g sugar
- 65 ml canned coconut cream
- 28g vegan butter
- Salt and vanilla to taste
- Put sugar in a pot with just enough water to fully wet it, along with the coconut cream
- Heat over medium heat to firm ball temperature
- Remove from heat, add butter, salt, and vanilla.
- Pour into pan lined with parchment paper
I'm going to try again with the same ingredients but try melting the sugar dry, then adding the coconut cream. That would at least help with the color of nothing else. Failing that, I have another recipe I can try that uses corn syrup and brown sugar along with sweetened condensed coconut milk.---
