I'm wondering if the queue for STM going to roll over into the general sale at 3PM, or if it's going to be a separate thing. Anyone know?

Welcome to peach week! Here are three fun peach facts:

• Although (American) Georgia has dubbed itself the Peach State, this particular stone fruit is actually native to Northwest China. The majority of the world's peaches are still grown in China.
• Despite Georgia's moniker, its neighbor South Carolina outproduces it 3:1, and California's production dwarfs them both.
• While many people think of them as different entities, the peach and the nectarine are both varieties of the same fruit!

Here are a few different ideas to get you started:

• Peach cobbler and peach pie are both delicious ways to get your dessert fix this week. There are tons of recipes out there that can work with eithe

This week is all about camping! While you could use this as an excuse to get off the grid and rough it for a week, you could also just take inspiration from this pastime and the great outdoors. Here are some ideas (and things to keep in mind):

• You could take a classic camping dish—take s'mores, for example—and elevate it. Try your hand at s'mores creme brulee or s'mores chocolate mousse!
• How would you adapt your favorite recipe to be camping-friendly? What shelf stable substitutes could be made for the more delicate and perisha

Folding is a technique used in cooking and baking to combine ingredients without knocking air out of the mixture. You often see it in recipes that involve egg whites or whipped cream—think soufflés, mousses, macarons... anything with an airy texture.

Folding can also refer to part of the process of creating laminated dough, where you layer butter and pastry to lock in the fat.

You could also think about trying empanadas, calzones, dumplings, quesadillas, hand pies—anything where some sort of doughy shell is folded over a filling.

Still confused? David, I cannot show you everything. You just fold it in.

This week's theme depends on where you are—and on your whims! Which border you pick is up to you. It can be as close as the next town or as far as the next country (or maybe even an adjacent continent!). Here are some examples of what "across the border" could mean for different people:

• If you're in the US, you could try to make the most iconic food of an adjacent state.
• If you live in the EU, you could take inspiration from a country just outside its borders—is there a Ukrainian dish you've always wanted to try? Or maybe you can take inspiration from a country like Switzerland

It looks like they just rolled out an update in the last 48 hours that defaults some registries to only showing items sold from the Babylist store, and showing that as the only way to purchase them. Users have to toggle to "All Stores" in order to see prices from other retailers. Items that aren’t sold by Babylist won’t show up at all unless you’re in the All Stores view.

Here are some screenshots of the new UI.

I'm pretty upset about this update from a usability perspective and I’ve written them with my thoughts.

This update hasn’t been pushed to all users, but if you’re affected, I highly recommend adding something to the blurb above your photo instructi

This week is all about limes! Let's look at some of the most common varieties.

• Persian limes - This is the most common variety of lime, and the one you probably have in your grocery store. Fun fact: Persian limes are actually a cross between key limes and lemons! You can use limes to make guacamole, lime soup, ceviche... there are hundreds of options out there. As far as drinks go, you could make some refreshing limeade, or use this week is a good excuse to p

It's forbidden fruit week! There are, as you've probably already seen, a multitude of ways you can take this one. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• This theme was originally inspired by a suggestion in last year's thread for a "something your spouse hates" week. Does your partner hate coconut like mine? Use this challenge as an excuse to tackle coconut cake or macaroons.
• Numerous fruits have been forbidden in various religions and mythologies. You can take inspiration from the apple in the garden of Eden (even though it was more likely to be grapes or a fig than an apple) or Persephone's pomegranate.
• You can opt for a literal interpretation as well. Get your hands on some durian

When you think about foam (at least in the context of food), a lot of us probably think of molecular gastronomy. Take this recipe for white chocolate clouds in the form of gelatin foam, for example. Foam can also be used to elevate more common recipes—you can make blue cheese or sriracha-ranch foam. A lot of these recipes use whipping siphons (metal containers that pressurize liquids, often with nitrous oxide) to achieve a foamy texture.

There are a lot of different typ

Here are some ideas to get you started this week!

• Breakfast: Everyone should experience a full English breakfast at some point in their life. Common components include bacon, some form of eggs, fried or grilled tomatoes, fried mushrooms, toast, and sausages (or "bangers.")
• Afternoon tea: Pinkies up! (But not actually.) Afternoon tea is a light meal typically eaten in the afternoon, and it's become a sort of special occasion for many people. You're typically served an assortment of finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream, and tea cakes—all paired with tea, of course. If you choose to serve champagne, it becomes

Vegetarians and vegans rejoice! This week is your time to shine. There are tons of meat substitutes ("meat analogues" if you're feeling fancy, or "fake meats" if you're decidedly not) out there for you to explore this week.

• Tofu: This is probably what most people think of when they hear "meat substitute"—or at least it used to be, before processed meat substitutes were more common. Tofu gets an undeservedly bad rap for being flavorless, but the truth is that you have to imbue flavor into it. Break out the marinades!
• Seitan: Seitan is a meat substitute made from wheat gluten. You can even make your own at home!
• *Tempeh
