What's the difference between English Muffins and crumpets?

both are sort of puck shaped. english muffin is like normal bread but extra good for cutting lengthways and toasting. crumpets are sort of chewy and spongy and have lots of holes in them.

the main difference is i like a bit of crumpet but i don't like a bit of english muffin

Sorry for the crappy photo. Making cassoulet tonight and it's turning out pretty good I think. I just misunderstood the time involved in this so I'm going to be up pretty late checking a pot of beans for like six hours.

joke_explainer


Ended up great. The chicken was still moist, but tender to falling off the bone. The beans really absorbed the flavor of everything that went in. Duck fat definitely made a difference in the initial searing. One of the best meals I've made in a while. Really easy setup, the only difficulty is that it takes like 5 hours in the oven after everything's cooking and I wasn't quite prepared at that because I finished putting it together at midnight.



Here's the recipe: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2014/10/traditional-french-cassoulet-recipe.html

joke_explainer


Super easy to make. The only cost is time investment in checking on it every 30 minutes for five hours. I should go to sleep now. Good night.

joke_explainer


I mean, the ingredients cost money too, now that I read what I just wrote. But chicken legs and thighs? 2.99 a pound even at whole foods. Cannellini beans are very cheap too, and so is salt pork and sausages. Tho not all grocers carry salt pork, I think you could get away with bacon no problem if you can cut it into lardons. Or even not, i don't know. It's not super complicated. Then some carrot, parsley, bay leaves, and celery to initially stew for 45 minutes with the beans before you put all that seared meat back in. One of the cheaper meals here I think overall.

Having made cassoulet in a restaurant, it's easy enough to make the beans on a separate day, like on a Sunday when you'll be home for 5 hours doing chores anyways, and cool them on a cookie sheet, and have your chicken confited/ roasted or whatever and cooled as well, then on the day you actually want to eat it it's 20 minutes to season and get hot and all.

I didn't read this specific recipe cause I've got pretty solid duck confit cassoulet in my head, but I'm sure it's easy enough to turn it into a two day process, prep day and quick pick up day.

joke_explainer


Yeah, it was my first time making it (or cooking at all in a while.) It was a way simpler recipe than the duck confit style you see in restaurants, using salt pork, sausages, and chicken, and cooking with duck fat to add some of that flavor to it. I just didn't realize how long the plan was after it went into the oven, heh. It ended up delicious though, even if it looks too browned from the photo it was great.

carmelized onions and goat cheese rolled in everything bagel stuff

the dough ended up a little wet on account of the extra moisture in the onions and i ended up overworking it trying to get it shaped so it didnt spring much. it's good but i think it could use a little rosemary or something

Top tip for going to a fancy dinner party where you're expected to bring a bottle of vino.

- buy a bottle of Sainsbury's Red Cooking Wine and steam off the label

- find out what's being served and pick a nice bottle of wine to accompany

- stick the Sainsbury's label over the original

- bring the 'Cooking Wine" to your party and enjoy the whole bottle yourself guilt free

Woe to you of chop and stick,
For the devil sends his wood with wrath,
Because he know you'll get annoyed..
Let him whom have patience master the art of chopsticks,
For it is an inhuman art, the art of eating sushi.

Tomato basil bread! Almost all of the water in the dough was just fresh ripe tomatoes. It's good but not great, came out just a bit too sour imo

If I'm ever rich I'm going to hire someone whose entire job in the world is to bake be a different kind of bread every day for the rest of my life

i flunked out posted:

Well it's sourdough for starters. The sour flavors normally present in sourdough come from lactic/acetic acids produced by bacteria in the starter which usually take a back seat to the yeast since they feed mostly on sugars and alcohols produced as waste by the yeast as it consumes flour. In this case I think the bacteria got off to a much more active and early start on account of all the sugars present in the tomatoes. Tomatoes are also fairly acidic and all the acids inhibit the yeast. It's still tasty bread but I'd have liked more of the tomato sweetness to have come through in the finished product.

joke_explainer


Maybe dry the tomatoes first? Concentrate the flavor and the final moisture mix would be closer to normal since you'd just take the tomatos out of the dry weight in the ratio.
