Got a recipe here from a girl over in the USA (hope I’m allowed to post this, if not, just delete me already)
The American Wind
YOU'LL NEED:
Sponge:
8 egg whites
10 oz powdered sugar
3 tbsp white vinegar
Filling:
8 egg yolks
5 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
25 oz walnuts
25 oz margarine
HOW TO MAKE IT:
Sponge: Whip those egg whites into a super stiff meringue, adding the powdered sugar bit by bit, then stir in the vinegar one spoonful at a time until it's all mixed well. Split the batter into three parts (aim for about 10 or 11 tablespoons per layer). Bake each layer separately in a greased cake pan lined with parchment paper. Throw them in the oven for an hour at 300°F. Filling: Whisk the yolks with the sugar and flour, then cook that mixture down in the milk. Once it cools off, fold in the walnuts and some creamed margarine. Then whip in 4 containers of whipped cream—maybe toss in some Cream Fix if you want the topping to stay extra stiff. Assembly: Layer the sponge, then the cream, then the whipped cream, and just keep repeating that pattern. For the final layer, smother the top with whatever cream and whipped cream you have left over.

Grab a test! (For anyone wondering if they're pregnant)

Look, I get it, but I’m just freaking impatient!
I'm three days behind already, but I'm terrified to take another test just to see a negative result again. I know I'm probably just making everything harder on myself, but if my period doesn't show up by Monday, that's when I'll finally bite the bullet and test again.
THANKS 👋

Hey everyone!
I’ve been lurking here forever, but this is actually my first time jumping in to say anything. Honestly, I see so many women popping up on here doubting if they’re pregnant, only to come back a few posts later posting those positive results.
Me? I’ve been trying to get pregnant for ages, but nothing. I was pretty sure my fertile window hit earlier this month and thought, "Okay, this is finally it," but then I took a test and... just one single line. I even checked it again after ten minutes—which I know you aren't supposed to do—but there wasn't even a faint, pathetic little shadow of a second line. Nothing at all.
Now, I should probably admit a couple of things: I took this test a week ago, and my period isn't even due until tomorrow or the day after. Yeah, yeah, I know, I know... I just couldn't help myself.
Also, this is like my sixth or seventh test already. My hope is basically hitting zero at this point, and honestly, I don't even have the energy to follow the instructions perfectly anymore.
Anyway, that's the update for now. I don't want to be typing all night!
BTW, big shoutout to everyone in this thread, and huge congrats to all the moms-to-be out there! 😘 😘 😘
