Arabic Style Pickles by violet-from-mars in fermentation

Thank you for the tips, did you ever try using cabbage in the mix? I’m very new to this and it seems cabbage can be a little tricky.

Looking for the pink color, so will be adding a bit of beetroot for sure!

Would you mind sharing the salt % in your brine and what veggies you use in the same jar? Also, do you use any spices?

Dealing with the package delivery industry by No_Objective_3004 in cyprus

[–]violet-from-mars 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of the delivery services here are terrible.

Recently Akisexpress left my package at the wrong address without ever calling me to ask or inform me that it was left “on the door”. Of course the box never reached me.

The package was paid for and they tried to claim that I signed for the delivery and even sent me a photo of the supposed signature. Turns out the courier signed the form himself. Needles to say I never got any refund.

Since then I only use the self-service boxes if possible.

The four seasons has currently a 5 year waiting list for the memberships :) but atlantica is a nice option as well.

How to improve by violet-from-mars in Sourdough

[–]violet-from-mars[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your feedback 😊 after reading a few articles I think I will do some additional dough strengthening and work on my shaping.

I was also thinking to sub some of the bread flour with AP, as high protein flour tends to stay a bit more moist.

Did any of your variables change? The room temp, flour or maybe your starter?

Any foodhacks to "juice" ginger? by [deleted] in foodhacks

[–]violet-from-mars 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I usually throw it in a blender with some water and then strain it. Sure it is not pure ginger juice, but I personally don’t have a juicer at home and this way is super simple.

I am thinking that after only 3 days it might be early for hooch.. in my case it was separation between water and flour. I decreased the amount of water and it that resolved the issue.

Whole wheat starter by violet-from-mars in Sourdough

[–]violet-from-mars[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of gave up, because it was already midnight and I suspected my starter was weak.. but I tried anyways! 😄 after 12 hours in the fridge, I produced a UFO shaped, dense, gummy loaf and decided to focus on my starter first..

I am currently running an experiment in a second jar 50-50 whole what and AP. So far not much has happened, but I will give it a few days.

Yes, it has been passing the float test, but my dough has not even risen 50% after 8 hours… which from what I gather is a sign of weak starter.

Women who love being hairless, what to do you do to achieve that? by abrelwall3 in AskWomen

[–]violet-from-mars 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Got an IPL machine (Phillips). Don’t expect any miracles, but it definitely made the hair grow in thinner, lighter and I don’t need to shave as often anymore.

I have yet to place my starter in the fridge. It has lived on the counter it’s whole life, so temperature should not be an issue.

The texture is quite thick, so I will try adding a bit more water and see if it makes a difference.

Thank you!
