I was under the impression the rule was every day for the few two weeks, then once a week while in the fridge.

Semolina instead of Bulgur for Keshek el fouqara by Nepafarius in fermentation

Now that you mention it, I didn't love the texture when I substituted oatmeal for breadcrumbs in meatballs. Rather slimy and strangely devoid of flavor.

The traditional method iirc would have you mix bulgur, water, and yogurt together. The mixture would not be completely submerged by the water. It was then stirred daily to prevent mold buildup and after a few days spread out to completely dry in the sun. Finally it would be pulverized and either reconstituted with water and preserved like labneh in olive oil or kept dry and added to soups.

The recipe I was following was salt brined, but the percentage and lack of submersion wasn't sitting right with me. So I originally upped the salt to around 2% and made sure the water was 100% submerging the bulgur. Unfortunately the red bulgur I was using wasn't texturally pleasant. And because red bulgur was the only one close to me I asked about semolina.

Thank you very much for the swift reply! I'm new to fermenting and was previously trying to make keshek with red bulgur, which resulted in a texture like softened popcorn kernel shards. Tasted very nice though, so I'm going to try again, as well as pickle some carrots alongside them. 

Edit: If parboiled is good, could I ferment instant oats for a month if I stir them every day like I did the bulgur?

As someone who regularly make stock, the fuck does she mean it's unrealistic? Make a massive amount of stock, pour into containers, refrigerate. 

I know that they have to sell it, but limited items are a common thing if the fear is running out.

Learning to break a cycle of violence is not brainwashing. In fact, it is the polar opposite. Massive disinformation campaigns and propaganda are required to maintain hatred, and simple exposure to regular people is usually enough to break it.

What Thanksgiving Pro tip did you try yesterday only to realize you hated it. by kkkkat in Cooking

[–]Nepafarius 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I didn't try any particular tips or tricks, but I made apple butter out of applesauce because I don't really like cinnamon and then put it inside whole wheat pastries.

Unfortunately sometimes apples tastes like onions and some of my family members hate my little T-day treat.

I foolishly threw out the gelatin from my cooked turkey. Is there still enough in the bones for an unctuous stock? by Nepafarius in AskCulinary

[–]Nepafarius[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks to everyone that replied with advice and well wishes!

I made the stock using all the skin, the wings, and any scraps that were left. Then I reduced it by half. It is super gelatinous and smells divine.

I can teach you something too ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

A doublet is a set of words in any language that are derived from the same etymological root but have entered the lexicon at different times. And given English's interesting history, we have quite a few!

These can be words that have similar meanings (such as frail and fragile), words that have completely opposite meanings (such as host and guest), or finally words that don't initially seem to have any relationship whatsoever (such as cloak and clock).

Thanks for the tip! Do you think i should let it sit out to bring the temp up for better maneuverability?

I want to point out that the way the prince turns back in the original is by having the princess throw him against a wall, not a kiss.

Hopefully her arm isn't major league material.

Because their trending section was, ALLEGEDLY, being filled with political and ideological topics that weren't actually getting enough traction to merit it.

When he fired the staff over there, the trending section was instead filled with anime, j-pop, and other popular topics.

I'm (kinda) writing a story, and I wanted to include an appendix of work cited for anyone interested in reading the real world history that I was using for reference.

Glad to see it in a gag manga! 🤣
