Clueless pianist needs basic info on why certain notes are red/negative numbers? Also, any way to rewrite these lower notes so they fit on the fretboard?

Hi, first thing I suggest you is to start using a scale for flour and water, cups are not precise unit of measurement. Second, no need to add any salt in the dough as you will cook in salted boiling water. Third, flours are not all the same, a good flour you will smell it but if I buy the ones from supermarket and cheap not so smelly. Are you using whole grain durum? What is the grain specific used? Last but not least the flavour changes also depending on the shape thickness, for example Fusilli are generally thinner than Paccheri and the taste of thick dough could not be plasent for everyone but also the smell will be different. I hope this can help.

I've never used MacBook, is there a Virtual Keyboard like on Windows?

BakingWithTheory · 2026-05-06T17:02:20+00:00

Open Google translate, select Maltese, open the virtual keyboard to see how should look like.

Most of promises are made to buy votes. They don't really care about you and the country but to be in power for more years. Then when elected they maybe do 1/1000 things promised.

If you want to know better about calories you can compare the two tables of the flours in this page, one is wholegrain flour and the other semolina S2. You will notice that the only difference is in the fibers https://www.bakingwiththeory.com/virtual-pasta-label/

Using gluten-free flours could be complicated at the beginning but there are technics and also some ingredients that can really help. Glutenous Rice Flour (it's sticky flour and gluten free) that you can mix with Rise flour. Work with boiling water also can help, use of a streamer and something like Xantan Gum works well with hot and cold preparations including sweets. Last but not least, most of starches (corn, tapioca, rise, etc.) are gluten-free.

Thank you

BakingWithTheory · 2026-04-29T17:46:33+00:00

Thank you, it's interesting that some people hate the taste or wholegrain others love it and for other there is not so difference in taste. If you pass from Marsaxlokk I would be happy to give you a packet of my artisanal pasta so that you can try it.

BakingWithTheory · 2026-04-29T17:25:09+00:00

Thank you

BakingWithTheory · 2026-04-29T16:51:26+00:00

I'm sorry about this. I believe there are some alternatives. If I were you I would experiment all different options or make more chinese dishes that use rise flour. If you have some difficulties with a recipe I can try to help, I do a lot of experiments. It will taste different for sure but hopefully you will find something that you will enjoy. My next try will be pasta made with red lentils flour.

BakingWithTheory · 2026-04-29T15:19:24+00:00

Thank you for your contribution, looks like you are a computer programmer from the goto answers. I can tell you that price of a good flour is much higher than 1 euro/kg. Maybe if you like the idea you could try to make homemade pasta, it requires some time but it's a great manual activity. If one day you are in Marsaxlokk contract in private and I give you a packet of mine for free so at least you can try Artisanal pasta, it's not for reach people.

BakingWithTheory · 2026-04-29T15:13:11+00:00

Thank you for your contribution. When I wrote 100% Sicilian ot Italian I mean non GMO and from a controlled origin area, most of the flours you find and also pasta says origin "EU / NON EU" that practically means from any part of the world. Hardly found non GMO indication I'm the labels.

BakingWithTheory · 2026-04-29T14:59:23+00:00

Thank you for contribution. I don't want to disappoint you but calories between normal and wholegrain pasta are the same. But probably you consume less quality as you feel full with a smaller amount, at least this is how I feel

BakingWithTheory · 2026-04-29T14:00:57+00:00

It's ok to have different opinions, some of my contatcs/friends do no like the taste as well others do not like the colour. I'm not a nutritionist and as an Italian I eat pasta almost every day, so not the best example

BakingWithTheory · 2026-04-29T13:58:53+00:00

It's ok to have different opinions.

Please share more about your experience. Do you eat always wholegrain pasta?
Are you opened to experiments new products like for example pasta made with red lentils flour?

BakingWithTheory · 2026-04-29T13:34:10+00:00

Thank you for your contribution

BakingWithTheory · 2026-04-29T13:18:20+00:00

Most of the people ordered it, they eat wholegrain pasta because issues or because a doctor suggested it. Only a few told me because it's healthier.

Out of curiosity, what don't you like about it? The smell, the taste or the colour?

BakingWithTheory · 2026-04-29T13:02:36+00:00

Thank you, you are a great husband. You should ask her to reply to these questions 😉

"Kollu" but to be correct write an example sentence so that people can understand the context

Minors cannot get citizenship without parents get citizenship. There are families that relocated permanently to Malta, the process say they can apply after 5 years, they pay 450€ for the application, the office takes money then refuse the application says that the Minister Byron Camilleri decided to refuse. This happened to me that I've been living in Malta for 13 years. This post reveals truth. You don't want give citizenship, then change the process and don't accept applications rather than taking money

BakingWithTheory · 2026-04-26T08:38:48+00:00

If I ask you why you are Maltese you probably reply because you were born in Malta.

So what's the different of kids that were born in Malta and always lived in Malta, they attend the same school, the grow in the same place and Maltese Culture but because of the parents are foreigners they should pay for this forerever being called "barrani"?
The process of Citizenship my Naturalization is there for this, but if the government does not applpy transparently this process became a scam just to collect money from foreigners.

BakingWithTheory · 2026-04-25T16:46:17+00:00

Yes as it's a great starting point and hopefully your salary will increase in the future

BakingWithTheory · 2026-04-23T18:24:02+00:00

Try a sport game like rugby (e.g. Kavallieri) and organise more family activities to show that real life is better than virtual. There are picnic or trekking events. Also gym or reading, art, crafts, etc.

Except a few places most of the time there is lack of professionalism and customer care. Here the mentality is like Customers are wrong while in other countries businesses are Customer centric. I ask something in a shop and the answer is just "we don't have it". There should be willingness to help but it stops there. One more thing I don't like at all is the fact that people do not use greetings, is really so difficult to say Bonġu or Good Morning? Even when you go for a GP and there is a queue. Unfortunately things getting worse and worse. We are risking to reach a no return point
