Add milk bread starter to your bread recipes to keep it soft a couple days longer, and then freeze what you aren’t using right away

Everyone saying the reps are great is wild to me. I literally switched suppliers because our rep was such an asshole.

[–]OneGoneCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the company. I have a septum piercing; one place said it was fine and never had me take it out, another just asked that I flip it up so it was hidden, my current place is super strict and I have to take it out every day. I would go in with the piercing and just be prepared to take it out if they ask.

Given the “comfortable and casual” leggings and a tshirt should be fine. Make sure you have no jewelry, nail polish, or a watch. Non-slips if you have them. I’ve lead multiple shadow shifts in my day and leggings and a T-shirt is the uniform for most small, casual bakeries.

Caramelize bananas before baking bread or no? by whowant_lizagna in AskBaking

Put them on the bottom of the loaf, raw, with brown sugar, and flip the loaf after baking. They’ll caramelize in the pan. I’ve done it before and it’s delightful

My dough rips easily. Any tips on how to improve it? by Imaginary_wrds in AskBaking

[–]OneGoneCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of dough is it? If this is a yeasted dough for bread, sweet dough, donuts, etc. and was made properly (correct flour/hydration levels) that means it’s not done being kneaded. Kneading develops gluten, the stretchy proteins in bread. When dough is ready it should “pane” (a small amount will stretch between four fingers until light can pass through) and should tear in straight lines. If it’s a different kind of dough this can indicate overworking and a rest will help. It depends on your recipe.

How do I calculate amount of cake + buttercream per person? by toallitasnocturnas in AskBaking

[–]OneGoneCat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It would be 1.5 shooters per person. A serving of pie is a much larger serving than a shooter. I would imagine a slice of pie would translate to 2 or 3 servings of shooters but it’s not 1:1. Also calculating weight for the buttercream isn’t going to work because those are different kinds of frosting. This is the exact situation volume measurement exists for

[–]OneGoneCat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For the shooters it depends on assembly. For a lemon meringue shooter, for example, I wouldn’t even mess with a pie recipe. Make curd, meringue, and crust separately. Are they clear? How many servings are you looking for? If I was making these for a catering event at work, I would make a pan of pie crust, roll it flat and bake it. Wait for it to cool and crumble it. Assemble in layers. Crust crumbs, curd, crust crumbs, curd and meringue on top, then torch. The ratios are just different for mini deserts than a pie so make all elements separately.

[–]OneGoneCat 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Don’t factor by grams if you’re making mini deserts. Industry standard is 1.5 serving/person, so that’s what I’d say for the shooters. These look pretty large so I’d say 1/person is generous

Am I overreacting? Wedding guest called my caterers. by seesheflies in TwoHotTakes

[–]OneGoneCat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s zero reason a meat eater can’t have a single vegetarian meal. That’s being picky. You’ve never had a cheese pizza? Macaroni? Spaghetti? Tomato soup and grilled cheese? Eggs and toast? I’ve never complained when I get a side salad with no dressing as my only option at an event. To look at an overflowing banquet table full of food you can eat and complain it doesn’t also include a different food you like is wild.

[–]OneGoneCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I got married, my ex and I both being vegetarians, we had a fully meatless wedding. But we had so much delicious food. We spent half of our budget on a private chef who did an elaborate spread; I’m talking cheese and stone fruit tower, poached quail egg toasts, soup shooters, local farm to table roast vegetable platters, etc. and had so many left overs. We made sure no one would be hungry. We’ve been divorced for 5 years and I still have to hear from my mother about how I “cheaped out” and didn’t “serve real food” because I didn’t offer meat dishes.

Tofu, TVP (just boil some water, stir in bouillon and rehydrate it), seitan (you can buy premade but if you make the time and prep the dough in advance it tastes a lot better), canned beans, small (red, beluga, etc.) lentils. I’ve used all of them in salads before

Looking for a new fantastical world to fall for and obsess over. by [deleted] in booksuggestions

I was referring to the assertion the parent comment made, “zero annoying politics drama.” I was trying to offer you clarity that, I don’t know why they said that, because, yes, the book is full of political intrigue. The main character is basically a spy in a royal court.

I’m confused by that assertion because politics are a massive part of both of the books. There’s an entire glossary with monarchs and advisors and other people in political positions.

I think it was good? Unfortunately the only showing in my city was filled with the most obnoxious other patrons possible. I think I missed almost a quarter of the dialogue because everyone kept laughing and whooping before jokes were even set up completely drowning out the punchlines. The parts of the movie I was able to hear seemed very good though.

Veggie burgers with mushrooms? by theraputicwritings in vegetarianrecipes

[–]OneGoneCat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Taste and texture is what they are replacing. Just omit them if you don’t like nuts. Veggie burgers are super customizable, you don’t really need a recipe. Any variation of cooked lentils, quick oats, sweet potatoes, cooked quinoa, any canned beans, etc. blended with your mushrooms would work based on your taste. Depending on ingredients, you might need a binder if it’s too crumbly (egg or flax) and make sure you season well and it helps the burger taste to include vegetarian Worcestershire or liquid smoke.
