Is there a particular brand of those lever juicers that's better than the others, or are they all the same?

I cannot say if one is better than another, I got a refurbished one and still needed to tighten it with an allen wrench. But even then, I love it with a passion. It weighs a metric gently caress-ton and does most of the work just with gravity and a weak wrist pushing it down.

I am going to venture a controversial opinion: I like margaritas both with and without triple sec. I think they are both good drinks and as long as the model of margarita machine you have can be programmed to cater to either taste, you'll make tasty drinks.

If I'm on margaritas they're usually being consumed with purpose too quickly for me to wonder over if the flavor would be slightly better with minor changes.

I would guess because that enormous manchild Christopher Kimball is a huge baby about spice, so when he taste-tested recipes he would frown and grumble about his delicate palate so they had to de-spice them. Now that he's gone (from ATK at least, I would imagine CI as well), they might get a little more aggressive with their heat.

One meat substitution / dish I found that works awesooommmmeee is using the Morningstar breakfast sausage patties to make white gravy for biscuits and gravy. Add in a little more butter to fry them up in, chop them up and crumble then throw back in for a little crisping then toss in your flour and milk and it's great. Very very close match in flavor and texture to standard white gravy for biscuits.

I forgot to reply to this, but I've done this, and it comes out amazing.

This is also where I got my inspiration to combine seitan and TVP for making mock meats, because pretty much all of the Morningstar Farms mock meats are based on a combination of the two.

I had a sub to CI for over a decade, then ended up dropping it when it seemed to be repeating itself. I hadn't heard about the falling out with him and CI and ATK, so thanks for that. What do CI editorials look like now, are they actually about food and not rambling stories about Vermont and how some curmudgeon's tractor broke down and what a good horse ol' Freckles was before he saw a spice and died?

Coincidentally, I happen to have just gotten the first issue of Milk Street, Kimball's new magazine, from a friend. Let's look!

Inside cover: "Milk Street travels the world to bring you the very best ideas and techniques with no lists of hard-to-find ingredients, strange cookware, or all-day methods to slow you down."

Page 2: Use a falafel scoop to make cookies, only $12 on Amazon. (As opposed to, I dunno, a loving spoon.)

CI taught me many things, but goddamn does Kimball make me irrationally angry.

edit: also, in case you're curious, of course the editorial page features an illustration of Kimball looking smug as gently caress

My mom had an issue of Milk Street laying around and he had some recipe for beef stew or whatever and the whole intro was about how browning meat is just suuuuch a burden and he doesn't know why anyone would intentionally put themselves through that, so here's stew recipe where you don't have to brown anything. He's the world's biggest weenie and seems to be proud of it too.

I'm pretty sure the main point of contention between Cooks Illustrated and Christopher Kimball was whether he got to keep writing folksy essays or not

The review section of Christopher Kimball's new magazine only list items that he recommends. I find this less useful, because Cooks illustrated not only told you what was good, but which ones to avoid as well.

Beef stew without properly browned beef sounds awful. :barf:

Yeah, his take was that fish sauce, soy sauce, peppers, herbs, ginger and animal fat are good enough to stand in for browning. C'mon now.

I was thinking about writing a defense for Kimball and how he brought a lot of good cooking knowledge to the general uneducated public in the 90's, but then I looked over my Milk Street posts and snapped out of it

Coconut oil's melting point is 76°, so no. You could do coconut magic shell for ice cream, or you could do a base of something else and just put a bunch of coconut in it.

Sorry, I meant coconut flavored icing. Like for drizzling over biscotti. I'm not much of a baker so I don't even know if icing is the right term.
