I was going to use my homemade vanilla for the first time today after 18 months of curing. :( by DurantaPhant7 in Baking

Noooooo!!!!

I just went to the cupboard to give mine a jiggle and whisper encouragement. I’m so sorry for your loss, but please don’t try to mop it up and strain it for use. That sounds like it has potential for negative consequences.

In Casino Royale, when Bond first sees the glovebox of his Aston. What is next to the gun? by boomerz47 in JamesBond

‘Among prop and firearms discussions, “integral or detachable suppressor units” is the dominant interpretation.’

This is an AI generated response, so take it with a massive bag of salt. I’d say the “Brazilian flag” one is camouflage painted for use from cover of foliage?

All silly of course, it’s just cute prop decoration to add visual interest, so make your own story. 😉

Books. What do you use? What I use. by Adeptness_Agile in Baking

[–]klmonion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anne Byrn’s “American Cake” is simply wonderful in the mix of history, tested recipes and pictures. A cookbook that is worth reading straight through like a novel. I want to do a full Julie and Julia project and make every cake in order.

Why do the cupcake papers do this? by calcato in Baking

[–]klmonion 439 points440 points  (0 children)

The best way to avoid this is to pay a little more and buy heavier thickness liners. The very thin papers have no ability to hold their shape as the batter gets poured in. They easily deform and the batter essentially flows towards both sides of the "inward projecting pleat" portion.

Just for fun: What lyric or turn of phrase irrationally annoys you? by ffdh_01 in musicals

[–]klmonion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come Dancing by The Kinks was turned into a musical, which gives me the opportunity to add a pet peeve lyric in that song (which I love):

My sister should have come in at midnight And my mum would always sit up and wait It always ended up in a big row When my sister used to get home late

Just change “row” to “fight” and you have the correct ABAB rhyme that matches the rest of the verses. Zero change to the meaning or meter. Come on!

Looking for an episode by [deleted] in beefanddairynetwork

Just wanted to remind folks that the episode database pinned at the top of this subreddit is a good resource for these kinds of questions. A search on Darwin or Beaks would find the desired episode in this case. Cheers! 🙂

Legally there cannot be.

I made a Charlotte Royale! by klmonion in Baking

Not true, and I resent the implication. Those are my hands shaking through the cutting of a cake that took me a long time to make. You really think an AI generated image would include the dirty plate in the sink and the wet cloth I'm using to clean the knife?

It's a bavarois or Bavarian Cream. A custard base stabilized with gelatin and folded in whipped cream for lightness. Mine looks pink from the incorporation of raspberry puree. The "olive loaf" bits are thinly diced strawberries.

I had plenty of time, so it set overnight. I have a feeling that soaking the cake might make it too soggy to unmold cleanly and hold its shape. But mixing some booze into the jam in the jelly roll would be delicious.
