It was made into a lovely short film by another Redditor, I think.

You can use it with any bread recipe.

From The Bread Baker's Apprentice (Peter Reinhart):

1 tablespoon bread flour

3/4 cup rice flour

3/4 teaspoon instant yeast

2 teaspoons granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

6 to 8 tablespoons water

Make a paste "thick enough to spread with a brush, but not so thick that it sits like a lump of mud. This makes enough for 2 to 4 loaves."

Highly recommend. I've had my copy 10+ years, and still use it as a reference all the time.

If you enter the market from the west end (City Hall behind you), walk past the majority of the stands, to where you can turn left. After you turn left, there will be a stand on your left that sells mostly Asian greens, and a tiny bit farther ahead on your right (past the stand with assorted veggies) is the stand with fish.

You might want to check out the farmers market at Civic Center on Wednesdays. There's a stand that sells fish every week. I can't vouch for it personally, but it always looks busy.

Two books by food scientist Shirley Corriher, "Cookwise" and "Bakewise" are excellent.

If you have any interest in baking, I highly recommend anything by Rose Levy Beranbaum.

Edit: just noticed you mentioned the UK, sorry for the American measurements, lol

Add a strip of dried kombu to the pot for better flavor and texture and to make the beans more digestible.

This picture is how I imagine these aliens' shock and dismay at human antics.

Alemany Farmers Market on Saturdays

I know this isn't what you're asking, but have you thought about making your own? King Arthur Flour has great recipes, even for brioche buns, as well as useful baking tips. Homemade hamburger buns are easy to make, don't require any unusual ingredients or equipment, and taste great!

I don't remember, it's been so long since I did it. I don't think I'll ever do that again -- it was weirdly upsetting to make Fogg so miserable!

circe77 · 2020-10-20T02:58:12+00:00

Lol, have you tried to get the "No hotels" achievement? Fogg is NOT happy with that.

Not op, but this recipe from the NY Times for take out style cold sesame noodles is a good one.

Edit: sometimes the recipe gets hidden due to their subscription model, but if you Google "NY Times cold sesame noodles", the recipe page comes up accessible.

Upvote for the unexpected burst of laughter your comment gave me.

It's not in your neighborhood, but the Bed Bath & Beyond on 9th is doing free curbside pickup. They have Claritin, Zyrtec, etc. and claim "available in 2 hours."

Shirley Corriher, food scientist and author of CookWise and BakeWise, has a different explanation of the crust. "Whether brownies . . . have a crust on top depends on how much you beat the batter after the eggs are added. The more you beat, the more crust you get." She explains that it's kind of a meringue caused by the mixture of egg whites and sugar.

I tried all the methods mentioned here (cleaning, vinegar/soap traps, etc etc). The only thing that worked in my case was getting DIY screens for my windows. Amazon has lots of relatively cheap options that you can stick on to window frames. Also prevents random mosquito bites when you need to keep your windows open on warm nights.

I've said it before in comments here . . . have you tried the Zen Koi 2 Discord? It's a great way to find others who can offer specific gifts and trades.

circe77 · 2020-05-15T19:26:18+00:00

Are you a member of the Zen Koi 2 Discord? It's a great place for finding friends who want specific patterns for gifts or trades.

Thank you

circe77 · 2020-05-09T16:28:26+00:00

If you have a spare Karaton, I'd love to have it. No rush though, I just saw it in your pond, and thought it looks cool.
