@dunelm yep tripadvisor is the way to go and @DCUKMod I get these Starbux ones from time to time in an airport, and can almost guarantee you that the recipe includes no techniques I don't know what they are (sous vide for example, and yes I looked it up with IP and it seemed to involve plastic bags?).
@Chook er... my cremated father lies in a grave, as do my parents in law. But I knew what you meant. Sometimes people buy huge fancy caskets for open casket funeral, and then cremate the whole shebang afterwards. So there would be a funeral with flowers. In some US and Americas cultures, the funeral is extremely integral to life, and the best you can afford is a sign of respect towards the deceased and their community.
@maglil55 glad you had a short respite on the legs anyway, and that your numbers are trending better. Sounds like your pastry will be a triumph sooner or later. I think that a specialty pop-up restaurant would be well liked! I'd go for sure.
Since I had a snack of many doll-house ladles of skyr and almond butter last night, I figured today I'd try ? @Listlad 's ? @dunelm 's ? chocolate gelato. And while I'm at it eat lunch too.
Bfast caution to the winds two eggs, (too filling), 1/2 avocado, DWSAC.
Lunch son made pulled chix barbecue with a mustard sauce. Very good. Sauce 9 carbs/2 tbsp serving, so that might have been a 5 carb hit. Cucumbers/onions in vinegar no sugar, and our family standby Vermont Cabot super aged cheese. They seem to be sliding into LC but I'm not mentioning that! DIL made, to compensate, chocolate peanut butter cookies. (You do know that if you have a diet Pepsi with your Snickers bar, they cancel each other out!). I had another slice of cheese. Celery.
Came home and made the gelato. Can already tell it will be so much too good that I can't make more. Licking the spoon was an adventure in dangerous living.
Supper should be small, yes? We'll see.
Off to stir the gelato. My freezer is very cold it seems. I like the flavor of erythritol-- to me, the menthol-like chill is a good thing. Confectioners' sugar does the same thing to my tongue.
Busy week coming up of Mom, music, church, church music, Mom church, church music with Mom, normal Holy Week mayhem.
Don't panic, and always carry a towel!
In the IP, I wouldn't do plastic bags, and only do proper sous vide, sealed bags when I sous vide. I'd use something like any of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/slp/silicone-egg-poacher/937q5nb2ndrc8jo , or more likely, these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alftek-Sil...eway&sprefix=instant+post+acc,aps,143&sr=8-22
I have a set of the former already, but were egg bites going to feature regularly, I think the latter would be more stable on the trivet, and easier to get in and out of the pot - especially when hot at the end.
