FaradayCage posted:Unrelated to the current topic, I saw someone post chiles en nogada except they used almonds instead of walnuts for the sauce. Claimed almonds are less bitter and cheaper. Flavor wise, it should be fine. 90% of the elaborate prep for the walnuts are remnants from the fact that Castilian walnuts are especially bitter. Peeling the skin off the walnuts is more to make sure the sauce is as pale and smooth as possible. You can skip that step with no change in flavor and just a slightly less smooth sauce. That said, Nogada is walnut in Spanish, so it's like making trout almondine with pecans. Delicious, but not really almondine anymore. Either way, you can skip the dental pick unless you're dead set on a perfectly white sauce with no brown flecks.

Bit of a weird question, would the calorie content of soybeans change by much during tempeh fermentation? I'm logging my calories and I was just going to put in the soybeans basically, but I actually don't know if the nutrition is significantly changed by the fermentation.

I once made cherry pit ice cream, and yet I still cannot think of somebody I love enough to peel the skin of walnut meats for.

I had to look that one up. The cherry pits infuse the ice-cream with that wonderful almond flavour found in all stone-fruit pits. Isn't that flavour cyanide?

Same thing as peach pits, which are also used to flavor Southern Comfort and creme de noyaux

Kind of. This is one of those things where the ingredient is toxic, but unless you consume a lot regularly it probably won't kill you. It takes around 50 bitter almonds (which are substantially less common and very unpleasant to eat raw) to kill a grown person; the incredibly small fraction of that used in a traditional Sicilian almond granita isn't going to hurt anyone.

What are people's favorite ways to use smoked trout? I impulse bought some, and other than on crackers or flaked on potatoes with a white sauce, I haven't done much with it.

If you’re up for the effort, making crispy smoked trout wontons is my favorite use. Thoroughly mix 1:3, trout-cream cheese, wrap in wonton skins and deep fry, serve with sweet and sour, or just straight sweet Thai chili sauce. Besides that, there are certainly things that are good, but on crackers with caper/dill sauce is, to me, the highest calling for smoked trout.

This was actually a Chez Panisse* recipe that paired cherry pit ice cream with cherry sorbet. Once was enough. *a silly choice on my part since I do not have sous chefs. Cherry pits bouncing all over the kitchen.

A simple French omelette with some smoked trout and chives is my go to. If you're feeling more ambitious, grape leaf rolls with smoked trout and pine nuts is amazing.

Oh, lots of good ideas. I had to Google Ochazuke, though! Winter I tend to be more about cooking, because in summer, that bandwidth is taken up by canning. There is a pretty good local brand of smoked fish though, and I am trying to eat more fish in general.

There are also kits you can use with commercially available gas canisters I guess but that seems more complicated I think there is one other company that sells something similar to sodastream but I can't remember what it's called.

Do ISI canisters charged with CO2 absorb pretty quickly? The nitro chargers I've used tend to take some refrigeration and settling

There's always Drinkmate, and they get bonus points for making the omnifizz designed to be washable so you can fizz juices/things that would void your sodastream warranty. https://idrinkproducts.com/

Scythe posted:Get a siphon (isi’s is good) and generic (food grade) co2 cartridges. That's on the range of one half liter per $0.50 cartridge. Sodastream and Omnifizz seem to be about $0.50 per liter, so half as expensive per liter as 8g cartridges. Full DIY is around $0.05 per liter. Does require the space for the big tank and the confidence to attach a regulator, but there's 1,000 high school kids learning how to do that in your local restaurants every year. If their managers trust them not to explode the franchise, you got this.
