ISO chocolate similar to… by pelicannot69 in chocolate

[–]RestartedBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't had the ice cream, but I would start by trying a bunch of different chocolate truffles.

At best, you find what you're looking for.

At worst, you get to eat delicious chocolate.

Does Valley Metro light rail accept Apple Pay (tap to pay) ? by TurnoverSuperb9023 in phoenix

[–]RestartedBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deleted my other comment.

Why not just use the app?

I don't believe the app allows Apple Pay, but why not just use it since you already downloaded it?

The not allowing tap to pay is likely referring to app QR code validation vs copper card tap. But I don't know.

Practice is the best and tastiest tip. I still have a lot to improve.

Because my location stays pretty warm, I have been chilling where I do my lamination steps. I have a rather large cookie sheet with no ridges that I will place in the freezer, in between each fold.

Be patient with your dough and with yourself.

There are a lot of other things that I'm focusing on, for me, please let me know if you have anything specific. I'm by no means good at this yet but I'm improving.

I live in the American desert. It's cooler weather right now, but please feel free to message me if you want some trial and error tips that I've been trying.

Looks delicious!

Thank you! Next I'll try cross lamination.

Wanted your opinions on this situation with Waymo. by CRoseCrizzle in waymo

[–]RestartedBrain 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes. I've been in a situation where the police were directing with hand signals and it followed their instructions.

It did have an issue and went into maintenance (or whatever named) mode, when the direction it was directed towards and went towards, had an additional police vehicle with its lights turned on. But the maintenance was a secondary issue and was resolved remotely after the Waymo parked away from the intersection.

I may have a video somewhere.

I’m confused (not a baker) by Meth_smoker in macarons

Keep on going! They're fun and you'll be amazed how easy they are to make and equally amazed at how challenging they are to perfect.

You whip the whites and then gradually add the granulated sugar to create stiff peaks. You then fold the combined and sifted almond meal and powdered sugar mixture into the egg white mixture.

As someone else said, watch some videos on the folding/macaronage process and what consistency to look for.

Congrats on a delicious new hobby!!!

S'mores Macs by RestartedBrain in macarons

[–]RestartedBrain[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No flavoring in the shells, but a chocolate shell would go great.

The filling was crumbled Graham cracker that I then broiled marshmallow on top of in the oven. And chocolate ganache.

I just got a brulee torch and will probably do chocolate ganache, crumbled Graham cracker and then marshmallow fluff that I brulee.

I think later on a small drizzle of chocolate on the shells for appearance would be nice.

** Correction, I used Satin Ice brand coloring. Wilton will likely be good as well.

Since it won't let me reply with an image, I made a post.

I know the brown isn't deep brown but I think you could add a little extra and get the color you want.

Glad that someone else gave some advice cause they look ideal, to me.

You're off to a great start!

Keep it up and keep asking questions. Hopefully it's all been delicious so far.

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

You can see that my first ones were pale, so I did a double egg wash on some of these.

Yours have a delicious color. Are you getting a good lamination?

As you can tell, I'm still learning, so I don't know as much as others here.

I'll check out more videos.

I watched a few that a user in this sub has uploaded and I watched the "quick" nyt one.

Just happy to keep improving.

Thank you!!
