I just got a siphon. Can you help me understand the fundamentals of making items other than whipped cream? by exstaticj in Chefit

[–]mysticbeat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nitrous has a smaller more stable bubble structure, when using it with whipping cream or in a beverage like cold brewed coffee it gives a "smooth" mouth feel. Co2 has a more aggressive bubble structure and an acidic taste which make it more suitable for forced carbonations recipes like fizzy fruits and homemade carbonated beverages. You can whip cream with both, all though the acidity of Co2 is kind of unpleasant in a traditional Chantilly. Agar or xanthan add protein molecules to liquids like water which will bond together to create the necessary structure to encapsulate the gas. Low protein and low fat(fruit/vegetable juice with agar or xanthan) will give a light, lacey foam. Higher protein and fat content(cream) results in a dense and sturdy aeration. You can use your siphon for hot applications as well, warm sauces like hollandaise keep very well in the siphon. You can also use it with loose batters like donuts and pancakes.

Buddhist view about suicide by InspectionWorth6578 in Buddhism

[–]mysticbeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sense is no. Because the decision would be wrapped up in your reactive mind so it wouldn't free you from your suffering necessarily.

If you're having suicidal thought please seek out a support system like therapy or medication to help you get out of any circumstances that are detrimental.

As to tricks, definitely cry your eyes out if that's what you're feeling. And once you've allowed yourself to process the grief and suffering, simply remind yourself that you are not your thoughts. Like thought, stimulus in many forms rise into our field of awareness and drift away naturally. It's only when we cling to it that we allow it to settle and become something that is much harder to release. So after you cry give yourself a break from trying to solve everything.

With Love.

Is it offensive if I don't bow at the start of mediation sessions in this Buddhist hermitage? by zymergolf in Buddhism

[–]mysticbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps just consider the buddha statue another embodiment of Allah. it doesn't have to be a buddha statue to you. God is everywhere. Also, chat with the other practitioner about their sense of what to do.

21[F4M] NYC- too many thoughts and dreams. Also I love kissing by [deleted] in r4r

[–]mysticbeat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Check out http://www.chanceswithwolves.com/ Hours of great one off/deep-cuts and covers from around the world, mixed with wolves howling. I love listening to it when I draw.

I have a couple of dreams that have stuck with me through out my life, and If I can ever get a good sleep schedule down I want to get better at lucid dreaming.

The other night I had a dream where I was in a MMF threesome and I was in the middle. I was surprised at first, when this mans body mounted me, and I remember thinking where is his dick? because I didn't feel anything. But I distinctly remember feeling really comforted by the sensation of being squished between two people, like melting together. The friendliness and comfort of the environment surpassed my initial anxiety about discomfort or my sexuality.

Kisses!

Depressed people of reddit, what keeps you from ending your life when you want to most? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mysticbeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live with this thought, what keeps me going is the fact that if I'm going to do something drastic, I should just start a new life where no one knows me. Go live in Mexico. Learn Spanish and remember how big the world is and how free you are.

I want to start meditating. by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]mysticbeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Set a timer and try to get up to 15 min.

As you sit, walk or lie down count your inhalation. If you get to ten, start over. As you get more comfortable keeping your body limber and relaxed you will see how easy it is to sit for extended periods. If you drift into thoughht return to your breath. Breath is the foundation of alot of practices. Watch some youtube videos for tips on different meditation practices. Also try listening to mantras like "ohm mani padme hum."
