In non-shitpost news, I love this recipe for mu shu pancake dough. I guess the boiling water ups the gluten? And rolling two together gets them really thin? I want to try those two techniques with tortillas to get very strong DIY tortillas. Has anybody done this with, say, half flour half masa?

Here's the above pancake but done with Food52's cabbage and mushroom filling:

Useless etymology: the term soup originally referred to bread dipped in broth, a usage whose remanent is the rustic `sop'.

One of the European antecedents to the sandwich was the practice of using trenchers---planks of stale(ish) bread used as plates---which would soak up bits of the meal and then be consumed (or tossed to the dogs) when on the verge of losing structural integrity.

So yeah. Soup in a breadbowl pretty much exactly satisfies the original notions of both `soup' and `sandwich'.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

I haven't hung out with my own dad since he moved to Arizona back in like ... 2009~ish? So having an honest to goodness dad to hear dumb dad jokes from is kind of giving me home-like feelings. Casa de Wroughtparents is kind of great. They built me a "dino-larium". Which is like a lair. In which your local Dino lives.

Does anybody know what would happen if I threw chunks of peeled horseradish in with the potatoes and mushrooms in a pot roast? I can't fine any information online about what happens when you roast horseradish. I know it would lose most of the bite. Would it turn out nice, like sunchoke or salsify? Or would it get bitter and ruin the roast?

I've just seen a few roast recipes with horseradish so I don't think it'd go bitter. I'm curious. Report back please!

Milk Street Radio just did a thing on how to calm down horse radish. They said it mellows to no flavor at all after a day, but that was raw minced and mixed in with mashed potatoes. Roasting may eliminate those enzymes and make it last longer??

If you're concerned, I'd roast it separately wrapped in foil a day ahead, then taste it before adding to your dish to see where it ended up.

Turns out horseradish is sorta stringy and definitely develops a pretty intense bitterness once it's been roasted. However, it flavored the braising liquid very nicely, so in that respect it's sort of like cooking with big chunks of ginger. I'd call this a modest success.

We are all drinking from the highball glass of ideology.
Once when I was 12 I was tasked with making the seder horseradish dip. I was told I'd need vinegar, salt, and horseradish root. So I put all of that (an entire root) into the giant food processor in the church kitchen and hit high. It was a good 30 minutes before anyone could go back into the building.

Welp that's my horseradish story.

Ok, about a month late, but here is my winter squash haul.
The three on the left were from my dad's garden. So far I've eaten them all but one.
I'm pretty sure the green one that my old man grew is Japanese Pumpkin (kabocha), but he had some goofy white-people name for it.

I feel like whenever I grate fresh horseradish it’s not that hot. It takes a couple hours to wake up.

I put horseradish through the zesting wheel on my Magimix - the same one I use for parmigiano, etc. I usually wear a mask while I do, because it gets pretty uncomfy around that machine for a while.

I bitched on Twitter at SeriousEats at the end of November about how it was easier to browse for author-specific recipes through their Feedly than on their incredibly lovely website and it looks like they got rid of the (xml? or is it rss? ... I don't know web stuff) feeds a little over a week later.

Probably unconnected but how nice of them to again make it more difficult to browse for inspiration.

I just use google, but it does make it highly unlikely you'll ever find anything there you weren't explicitly looking for in the first place. There's been a few food/recipe sites that insist on repeatedly redesigning what started out as a perfectly functional albeit bland portal and end up with something that's increasingly difficult to actually use in any capacity. I am angry about this.

Also pouring one out for lucky peach, it had the highest production quality I've seen in a food magazine in a long time. May it Rest In Peace.

SeriousEats decline started when they brought in some "consultant" to tell them how to make more money around 2012 or so. They got rid of all location based content and the community/forums features and turned it into more of a Pinterest look. Besides kenji and the founder, those are about the only editors who survived that redo.

When I need to find a specific recipe I know is food lab I just google "Kenji" along with it

Did he say your opinion was useless because you wouldn't spend hours performing double-blind taste tests with your baking steal and write an article for his site in exchange for the $25 freelance fee and so you forfeited the argument? He did that to a guy about blade grinding coffee a while back. That was fun (Coffee dude looked to be a bit of a douche himself).
