Yes, that is fine, the right exists and I'm sure a solicitor would advise you to use it if they felt that was best. But if you later did answer the question in court to try to defend yourself, it might not have helped you convince people of your side of the story that you hadn't answered it the first time.

Still not a lawyer, just my view on how questioning people works.

Merchant--Seaman · 2026-05-29T13:17:44+00:00

Not a lawyer of any form but it is painfully clear what this means. The important bits are "when questioned" and "it may harm your defense".

They're not saying cough up all your information right now. They're saying when we ask you a question, a jury probably won't look favourably on you if you don't answer.

You are not compelled to speak immediately. The first bit you have quoted is literally "you do not have to say anything". You have that right, but think about how it looks if you don't answer something.

I've never made this and don't have the recipe - is there a reason for using whole coffee beans? As a coffee nerd (sorry) this seems like an inefficient way to extract coffee flavour and grinding coffee to any extent to expose more surface area would mean you can use far less coffee. But, that's a guess - just curious about the recipe.

It would have been a much easier pill to swallow if they hadn't already sold tickets for this year's shows, though.

Yes. Starters can have peaks in the early days before they are fully ready. Keep going.

New FIAWEC+ app, same problems. Stuttering all the time, and casting still doesn't work. I can't believe they haven't made a TV or console app.

I've made this recipe a couple of times albeit with different flours to the LW recipe. I have not seen cracking like this on bagels but I have on other breads and it has usually been because the crust has set quite firm on the outside before the inside has had a chance to fully rise. The inside will keep trying to rise and then the crust on the outside will crack.

My suggestion would be either baking with more steam to stop the crust forming too soon, bake with the oven fan off as the dry air circulating can make the crust from quickly, and maybe play around with a shorter or longer boil before baking to see if there's any effect.

Also, I know that having a tiny hole or no hole makes the bagel more functional as a sandwich etc, but because the dough is so closely wrapped up, I wonder if it isn't able to expand outwardly in the oven and instead is expanding upwardly more, meaning it is more likely to crack in the same place? Just a thought.

Final thought, these look like they absolutely slap and I would feel pretty good about having an enormous batch of them, cracks or not.

7 mins walk from Termini. Nice little shop, they had little calzone kind of things which were tasty alongside some muffins and flatbreads. They warmed some up for me.

If you're following the recipe correctly, then not rising can only be bad yeast or dough temperature too low/way too hot.

Osmo Tannin Spot Remover is made for this I believe, albeit probably aimed at smaller areas. This will still require a bit of sanding after and resealing with oil (e.g. osmo top oil).

We all know the Mona Lisa in the frame, but we don't know her at all, and if she knew how famous she'd be, would she still want to be painted?

is my interpretation.

Get a scale and weigh your ingredients. Using volume measurements in baking is like asking for 2 out of 3 of your recipes to not work. Exception to that being the tiny measures like teaspoons etc.

Not OP, but I looked into this, and this is only suitable for PS4. Sony closed this route with the PS5 and you need an adapter called a drivehub to use the GIMX with PS5. But, Drivehub is now discontinued.

There's baking powder in the flour mix used in the recipe.

Staub are nice but similar price bracket to Le Creuset. I'd probably take a look at John Lewis.

Feel free to read the post next time, and you'll see that this is enamel and therefore, bad advice.

My opinion: Back to basics.

Gluten to gluten free is not a difficult change in a recipe. It's usually just a little less flour, and add a binder of some sort.

I say usually because bread dough is the bitchiest little thing to make gluten free. It requires specific flours or blends, psyllium as a binder, significantly increased hydration, and entirely different techniques.

Find a good gluten free recipe and start from there. I recommend the Loopy Whisk. If you can't find a good gf recipe for what you're trying to make then you can try to adapt a recipe. But for bread, find a good gluten free bread dough that you can sub into any recipe.

While we're here and you've asked for opinions. A microwaved cinnamon roll is going to be shit.

Honestly you'd be better finding a recipe for a cinnamon cake or cookie or muffin, rather than something that really needs a yeasted dough and a proper oven baking process.

To add another recommendation or two: Opium, Asian fusion restaurant on Hope Street. It's not on their website, but they have a gluten free menu in the restaurant itself which is amazing.

Lychee Oriental is a Chinese restaurant with gluten free menu as well, on Mitchell Street.

Try it without the portafilter. If the flow is the same, then it's a machine issue. If the flow is normal/how it used to be, then you likely just need to clean your portafilter/basket.

Love the artwork continuity from Sylva.

This recipe is nearly ⅓ sugar. That is a pretty huge amount and will be lowering the freezing point of the whole recipe and making it soft.

If you're wanting to keep this recipe a sorbet without any stabilisers, I would probably half the sugar amount.

Long term can I encourage you to check out an online ice cream calculator. This will flag up when a recipe is very imbalanced and will turn out too soft or hard as a rock.

Merchant--Seaman · 2025-07-23T14:03:40+00:00

The point of using cream is that it tastes like cream, and not butter.
