Some dried mushrooms, ground ginger, onion powder, and a stock cube all ground up in the spice grinder. Then just add to water. Maybe add a spoon of gochujang and/or miso.
I think edible decorations are a better idea. Plastic things are cute, but they will end up in the trash. For a bakery, that would be a lot of plastic* *oops misread it as you starting a bakery! Still fun ideas ahead:
Depending on what you need, there are nuts, fresh or dried fruits, shaved toppings like coconut, cookie cutter shapes of chocolate or cookies, colorful drizzles, chocolate chips, marshmallows, pretzels, crackers, graham crackers, swedish fish, any candy really**, real flowers and foliage, cocoa powder or other powder dusting, seeds like sunflower or poppy, jello, pudding, mousses (uhh, the yummy toppings pronounced moose), sprinkles. **I’ve seen a lot of unique candy I’ve never seen in a big store at, well, another big store lol. If you have a store with a giant bulk section where you scoop what you need, they could have some funky cool looking edible things to use :)
More work involved could be 3d molded chocolate shapes, cakepop art, baking a soft super thin cake as a blanket over (you can punch patterns into it, and you can decorate on top of that) ((cool: use dye to make it a conrasting color!)), carving/making edible stuff into flowers and other designs, making mini versions of the cake to put on top,
If I need to sprinkle sugar on my poppy seed breads, I like to use fat granular sugar and sprinkle it right out the oven so, along witb a little extra sweetness, the granules stick and don’t quite melt all the way so there’s this satisfying texture on the outside like the softest sandpaper. I’m sure other kinda chunky melty things could do cool stuff.
Another benefit of garlic is that you can actually plant it in late fall, so it has just enough time to sprout roots before going dormant. That way it springs right up when the weather starts to warm, way before you’d have other garden plants ready to go.
I have a couple of Aerogardens and I’m growing different herbs in one and tomatoes and cucumbers in the other. Never thought to try garlic. Might have to give it a try.
It really will grow almost anywhere, and it costs you nothing if you use the redheaded stepchildren, smallest cloves for greens. (You probably can’t say that anymore, but since I am one, evs yo).
I don't know how to feel about this. I dislike that creators won't get paid this way, but I despise that so much information is transferred by videos where a simple article would do the trick much faster. That's what was great about the reddit hobby communities, but fuck spez.
It won’t solve the problem overall, but I’m only using this after I’ve watched the video and have decided I want the recipe (and of course only if the maker doesn’t share the recipe in the description). Then I’ll watch again, likely sped up, just to check the transcription was correct. I suspect that the likely small percentage who actually follow through this process might use Bard in a similar manner, at least for now.
Unless you gave it something that isn’t a YouTube video and it worked there’s no way it isn’t just using the transcript. It’s not “watching” the video.
It’s kind of “watching” as it views visual information (don’t want to make this a semantics discussion), though at the moment it does a pretty poor job with watching as I haven’t been able to get it to answer a simple question correctly, such as what color shirt is the host wearing. It tries to answer, though. The exciting part is this will be the worst it’ll ever get.
This is Bard’s response to my query about how it “views” YouTube videos:
“I am able to process and understand the information from YouTube videos in two ways:
Transcript analysis: I can access and process the transcripts of YouTube videos, which are text versions of the spoken audio in the videos. This allows me to understand the content of the videos, even if I cannot directly see the visual elements.
Limited visual processing: I have some limited ability to process visual information from YouTube videos. I can identify basic objects and scenes, and I can track the movement of objects in the videos. However, my ability to process visual information is not as sophisticated as that of a human, and I may not be able to understand all of the visual information in a video.
Overall, I am able to understand YouTube videos through a combination of transcript analysis and limited visual processing. This allows me to provide helpful and informative responses to questions about YouTube videos, even if I cannot directly see the videos myself.”
I wouldn’t trust an AI to explain how itself works. Also there’s no way it could respond in a reasonable amount of time if it was analyzing every frame of a video in real time.
I don’t trust most humans either, but here we are, having discussions, exchanging ideas.
I don’t automatically trust that the system knows exactly how it works, but it seemed to know what it was talking about. Or, at the very least, a response to my question was preprogrammed, as it seems to be a major feature, and there’s bound to be many people asking about it.
“Cooking” (i.e. reheating) a city ham (i.e. fully cooked , Easter-style ham) sous vide this year. Just me and the partner this year,so a turkey doesn’t make sense, especially since I’m usually underwhelmed with turkey anyway.
It’s just my mom and me, and neither of us is big on turkey. I found a recipe for pomegranate rosewater chicken thighs so we’re going to try that this year. Also not making a ton of sides. Salad, bread sticks, green beans and a pear walnut crumble for dessert
the dark meat is great for chicken and dumplings. I’ll usually break it down because it’s about $5/pound here. (verse like $10 for 2 breasts…) so if you’re not needing the full bird for something, you can always re-freeze whatever you’re holding. And the chicken and dumplings are great for family meals. you can make most of it ahead of time, reheat and drop the dumplings when the family is ready to go.
It is a lot. but, the prep is spread out over several days, so there’s that. makes things manageable.
For me it was pretty much meat cuts like steak or pork chops. My parents erred on the side of making sure it was safe, so the steak was medium well or even well done and the pork chops would have little internal moisture left. I grew up thinking I just didn’t like those meats. I’m still not a big fan but I do understand that they can be cooked better now.
Though to balance it out, my mom was Italian and we had enough good pasta that I took pasta being good for granted.
Though to balance the balance, her tortiere was also very dry and she’d get offended if we wanted to add any sauces.
I miss her risotto with turkey giblets. Thanks to that (and maybe a lack of having it in other forms), I grew up liking organ meat.
If you make green bean casserole well, it’s my fave thanksgiving dish. It is a mushy mess but either it’s pretty solid sometimes, or everything else at my childhood Thanksgiving was terrible garbage
After seeing your comment I looked at some recipes for it. I had no idea it was a Thanksgiving dish, this was in weekly rotation at our house, but we literally never had it at Thanksgiving.
For a significant portion of my childhood, any and all food my mom made was made in a slow cooker. There are many great meals you can make in a slow cooker, but there are also many things that should never be slow cooked. Just because you get results if you Google “crock pot pasta” does not mean you should ever get pasta anywhere near a crock pot.
Re: green bean casserole, that’s sounds similar to the logic around the “egg in the cake mix” thing. Basically, the minimum effort to make something “homemade”.
I have the same reaction when I see people doing instant pot pasta now. It isn’t any faster than boiling it on the stove and almost certainly will overcook.
I’ve never seen someone do pasta in an instant pot, but yeah, sounds horrible. Pasta on the stove might take 10 minutes, while an instant pot would take a few to get up to pressure, a few to cook, and a few to cool down. Best case scenario, you save yourself a minute, while completely throwing away your ability to control doneness.
There was this recipe my mom got from a magazine like Country Living or Women’s Day or something called “Garden Skillet”. It was shell noodles with sautéed onions, zucchini, stewed tomatoes, and Campbell’s cheese soup. I hated it. I’d try to scrape the cheese stuff off the zucchini and eat that and as few noodles as possible. I have never tried to recreate it. 🤢
