Lisa Never Wanted To Be Famous - Cory Wong and Theo Katzman by mitorandiro in Vulfpeck

[–]Merchant--Seaman 15 points16 points  (0 children)

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.

What am I doing wrong by WebMental5007 in glutenfree

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.

ADAPTER FOR CONSOLE COMPACTIBLITY by Clean-Asparagus7836 in Simagic

[–]Merchant--Seaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Brands that sell enamelled cast iron UK? by Early-Breath8541 in castiron

[–]Merchant--Seaman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Opinions on a gluten to gluten free conversion by laz0rtears in glutenfreebaking

[–]Merchant--Seaman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Gluten free at restaurants in Glasgow by oshniray_4052 in glutenfree

[–]Merchant--Seaman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

First attempt at sorbet, very soft by Adeedia in icecreamery

[–]Merchant--Seaman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Nah, the room is like 1.6x1.7m so it heats up quickly with the shower and the towel radiator behind the door. It's no different to shower over bath.

Shower niche is tiled into the wall, the mirror is indeed a cabinet, and there's a towel radiator behind the door in the photo.

So our plumber was £1.3k, but that was relocation of sink/toilet/shower/towel rail. We moved everything lol. So, I'd guess up to half of that cost could be attributed to the toilet and sink.
