His Divine Shadow posted:I'm looking for a long lasting dairy delivery method for my coffee at work. I've tried bringing a small coffee cream package and keep it in the company fridge, but it gets pilfered by coworkers (apparently they drink it black but if I bring cream they'll use it) so I've been thinking about powdered creamer that I can keep in my desk drawer instead. Is there any such product that is not vile? I actually was looking at whole milk powder on Amazon the other day, and a lot of the reviews mentioned using it in coffee: http://www.amazon.com/Peak-Whole-Milk-Powder-900-Grams/dp/B004K0862K

Hello old friends, So I'm flying out to Boulder for a weekend right before Thanksgiving. I've never stepped foot in Colorado before. Where should I eat? I'll have transportation and such.

Gonna roast me a chicken this weekend. Normally I've done keller's brine from ad hoc and cooked it that way but his ingredient list for the brine seems pretty ridiculous. Anyone got suggestions for an easier brine?

Per gallon of cold water, I like 1c kosher salt, and 3/4c of brown sugar--dissolved in about two cups of (additional) hot water first. To the hot water you can add whatever kind of flavorings float your boat--peppercorns, bay leaves, ginger, orange peel, any herbs--whatever. Pick a couple flavors you want to highlight. I like to let them steep in the hot water for a little while before mixing with the cold water, so the flavors come out. Cut out the sugar entirely and use a gallon of apple cider instead of water if you want something a little fruitier and different. Use maple syrup instead of sugar and pair it up with peppercorns and orange peel. Or use honey and pair it with ginger and orange peel. Do a traditional bird and use the Simon and Garfunkel herbs. Brines cam be as simple or as complicated as you want them to be, but even if you just stick to water, salt, and a sugar product, your bird will still be delicious.

I was doing some shopping today and I noticed something strange. Does anyone know why every shape of pasta has 16oz of pasta in the standard box but farfalle only has 12oz for most of the major brands? The only theory I have is that maybe there is a more complicated process involved in making farfalle and that's how they even up the costs.

I seem to remember farfalle being the same weight as regular pasta, but the tri-color rotini being 12oz. But maybe I'm not remembering right. I really do love farfalle though. I admit I usually buy the store brand pasta so maybe that's why? Edit: I had to go to the store for some medicine so I stopped by the pasta to see and it looks like you were right. The store brand was in 12 oz, but the name-brand (barilla) was in 16 oz, so maybe I've been duped the whole time! Eeyo fucked around with this message at 06:21 on Nov 1, 2013 |

I want to make Foie Gras Royale. Does anyone know if using canned foie versus lobes will impact the results? Also there seems to be dozen variations, does anyone have a particular recipe they recommend? I am looking on that is on the more delicate side.

I'm categorizing some recipes in an app and need some help on their taxonomy. I'm trying to keep things accurate but not too overly specific. Pancakes: Griddle cakes? Dutch Babies aren't really griddle cakes because they're baked. Is there something that covers pancakes, crepes, and Dutch babies, or are Dutch babies in some other category with things like popovers? Is a lasagna a casserole? Are tortillas a bread? I don't feel like it they're a bread, but I could be wrong. Are they in the same category as something like dumplings? Are dumplings in their own category, like biscuits, or can they be breads?

Yeah, lasagna is a casserole. Tortillas are bread. Dumplings, I would classify more as a pasta. Biscuits are bread.

# ? Nov 1, 2013 18:44 |

I would say tortillas are a flatbread, yes. Unleavened flatbread, like matzo, lavash, and roti. (note, this makes tacos a sandwich) pancakes are quick breads. biscuits are also quick breads. One can tell by the use of baking soda/powder as leavening. lasagna is a casserole. Dumplings are not breads nor sandwiches. The wrapper was never intended to be eaten by itself, and in some cases isn't even eaten at all.

What about chicken and "dumplings"? I would argue those dumplings qualify as quick breads. Then you have steamed dumplings, which in some degenerate forms have no filling so are closer to yeast bread while still being derived from dumplings. I guess what I'm arguing is that there is always a food you can go say "yeah but..." when you try to categorize things. So I would say tortillas are dumplings (since a lot of the time we fill them) Lasagna would then obviously be a large dumpling, since it's a wrapper filled with stuff, but the topology is different from classical dumplings. Just eat more dumplings I guess.

How do I make mustard greens tasty? I tried cooking them last night with red onions and it just came out really bitter. I cooked them in a skillet using olive oil, cooking them until they wilted, but they still came out pretty drat nasty.

You gotta cook hardy greens longer. Also use acid.

Tortillas are also eaten as a side accompanying dishes like a bread. They are most certainly flatbreads not dumplings. Dumplings are also enclosed. Wherein I can see the argument of a coordinate transform for sandwiches to wraps, one of the traits of dumplings is the full enclosure and since there is no such thing as an infinite lasagna, one cannot make the transform from spherical to Cartesian so lasagna is not a dumpling.

But once you fry a tortilla and make a taco with it it becomes a sandwich.

Was PRADA SLUT referring to dumplings as in the filled kind, like gyoza, or in the "chicken and dumplings" kind, which are basically strips of dough? I assumed the latter, which is why I lumped them in with pasta.

They're not talking about Asian filled dumplings. They're talking about Southern throw-it-in-some-soup dumplings. The sort that are just dough, and which get flavor by absorbing broth. Those are probably a quickbread. E:

I have two sheet pans worth of pumpkin seeds, ive dried them for 24 hrs but I wanted to ask if anyone has a good recipe/method for roasted pumpkin seeds before i give it a go. The last time I tried making some they were just dissapointing.

Toss them with sesame oil and sea salt, and whatever spices suit your fancy. Toast in the oven at 300 until they just start to brown. This year I did cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and paprika on my pumpkin seeds and they are awesome.

What are some good ideas for a non-traditional thanksgiving meal? I'd like to stray away from turkey/goose/duck. Birds in general and see if I can't "wow" some people with something different this time around.

Adjust cooking time based on weight and if its bone in though. Do it for less people with a standard pork shoulder/butt that doesn't take as long to cook first for practice though
