hot cocoa on the couch posted:bought some bagels over the holidays and the hole size was ridiculous lol. it was difficult to cut through them properly cause thye'd just fall apart due to lack of structure. id say they clawed back probably 1/2 the weight of a bagel from the middle. crazy Or maybe you finally got a proper Montreal-style bagel for the first time in your life. Embrace it.

Atopian posted:As I have produced adequate but underwhelming hummus in the past: please share your / her recipe. This is what she said. Ingredients: 1 can of chickpeas 100 g of tahini 3-4 tablespoons lemon juice (to taste) 2 cloves garlic ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon cumin 1 tablespoon olive oil ice cubes as needed In a food processor, add tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Boil the chickpeas in water with a small amount of baking soda until soft, then remove the skin. Then add the chickpeas and other ingredients into the food processor along with a couple of ice cubes (from my wife: "I read that is for extra light and fluffy hummus, that helps incorporate air into the mixture or something," which certainly seems to be the case). Continue adding a couple of ice cubes and running the food processor until you achieve the desired texture. I haven't made this recipe with her in a couple years, so I'm a bit hazy on recalling the specifics, and she wrote the recipe while looking after our 5-year-old, so if you have any questions, please just ask and I will get clarification.

i worked in the kitchen of a mediterranean restaurant a long time ago that had my favorite hummus and that was basically their recipe (minus cumin iirc, and with way more garlic). also they would soak the beans in water and baking soda overnight before boiling and finishing the rest the next morning. i cant remember why exactly you can then further improve the look (and to some extent the taste) by serving it with parsley, paprika and olive oil on top as garnishes.

On the bagel topic, it's likely been mentioned but I just want to vent about this Whipped Cream Cheese poo poo showing up everywhere. We're not stupid, we know whipped just = more air and less product. Started with the Breyers ice cream and now all kinds of poo poo have adopted it.

Some of that stuff has so much air whipped into it that it can't actually be called ice cream anymore, instead it's a "frozen dairy dessert"

Whipped cream cheese has been around for like 2 decades from what I've seen and sure it's a lighter texture but yeah... I should pay less for less weight.  Cream cheese in general has gonna up quite a bit. But then down again I guess. An 8oz container at one store a year ago was like $8 but I go to a different store now and can get a 16oz for the same price.

The two stores I went to were Festival (more expensive) and Piggly Wiggly. I'd imagine nowadays I'd have to do some detective work to find out who ultimately owns them like Charlie in It's Always Sunny with his delusion board. Yeah that's something that sure as gently caress got shittier. Monopolies. Like 3 companies owning all of the food products in the United States with 50 subsidiaries each.

Best cheese curds I've ever had in my entire life. Perfectly squeaky. We bought like 3lbs and ate one just on the way back home. And that's a big endorsement considering I'm from Wisconsin. The key is to get them fresh though and you can't get more fresh than the actual factory.

Weather predictions is something I feel is less reliable than before. Like I feel we used to be able to reliably predict trends over an incoming week, and now we’re down to “who the gently caress knows what two days from now will be”.

Weather predictions used to be able to use past decades of collected data, if for the last 50 years a cold spell usually happens at the start of Dec, you predict it will happen again. Now you can't predict poo poo. The cold spell happens in Jan or Feb now. The amount of times my area has been given Yellow or Orange warnings for storms/winds/rain, and nothing happens. Some other area gets it instead.
