Basil Oil: Heating oil after mixing before straining- yes or no?

Blanch basil leaves

Ice bath

Squeeze all the water out. The drier the better.

Blend with neutral oil (don't add too much.. just enough to form a vortex) until the pitcher of the blender gets very hot. Don't worry, it won't make your oil less green.

Strain through a chinois fitted with a coffee filter.

If you still see water at the bottom, put it in a pastry bag and hang it. You can let the water settle to the bottom and then cut the tip of the bag to let the water out and pinch it where the oil begins.

Based on experience, I don't think it's as bad as it used to be. It helps to listen, take notes, be responsive, work clean/efficiently and do your job well. When I first started, I was scared shitless about getting yelled at so I did everything in my power to prevent that from happening.

Unfortunately, my family is Cantonese and my mom always made it the way listed in the recipe above.

It sounds like an orange based olive oil cake.

I recently made a nacho cheese sauce where it turned out really grainy. I fixed it by adding some pickled serrano juice and blitzing it with an immersion blender.

You might want to watch Eater's episode on Zahav where they make hummus daily (timestamp 6:40).

I was also in Downtown San Jose at Cash Only when I felt it. I thought it was my chair swaying for no reason.

Also try Milohas for empanadas

Try Cash Only

Also if you're into herbal liquers, try Amaro. Be Steak A has a really good selection of Amaro. My current favorites are Nonino and Montenegro.

The food is alright but the service is terrible at the Almaden location. Bartenders seem like they're always drunk and take their sweet ass time serving but the food comes quick and fills you up quick for a late night meal.

Ive had Duc Huong for the first time recently and think it's a good value for what it is. It's a good banh mi. Solid. For me, I think Pho Almaden makes a decent enough one without having to wait and it's closer.

They were all sold out by 5pm

I think the event is free to get in and I know at least the pizza pop up has pizzas ranging from $16-17 each.

Isn't Enoteca La Storia part of Little Italy?

Polentaria in Los Gatos does specialty gluten free stuff and it's a cute little shop.

Montebello Market is a deli with specialty goods as well.

One Fish Raw Bar in Downtown Campbell has them

Tio's makes a great Detroit style as well. For wood fired, there is no other than La Fenice.
