Why is pineapple pizza the best pizza in the world? The answer is yes.

[tight dagger]

No. Stop that. Ew.

[frank fulcrum]

Malasadas today

[simple breach]

my local papa johns has a hawaiian bbq that i enjoy. bbq sauce as the base with pineapple, chicken, bacon, onion

[valid mirage]

[undone quiver]

[undone quiver]

I love the Papa John's version too. With the garlic sauce

[simple breach]

yeah idk why people see pineapple and immedaitely ick without trying it. it adds a nice sweetness to everything else

its not like i'm putting sauerkraut on it or anything

[valid mirage]

I’m allergic to pineapple.

It was my favorite fruit.

[simple breach]

that sucks

[undone quiver]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[undone quiver]

It's just haters gonna hate 😄

[valid mirage]

I appreciate your empathy. 🙏

[simple breach]

youll never get to experience bbq sauce dripping off a nice slice with that onion bacon chicken bite and then the sweet pineapple ending to close it out

[undone quiver]

The Italian immigrants in New York popularized pizza. Then Italy went to claim that they invented the 'real' pizza. Eventually a Canadian got inspired by sweet and salty Chinese food with pineapple (which in turn was inspired by Hawaiian food, of course) to add pineapple to pizza.

It was a beautiful story of amalgamation of different cultures. Some people just want things "pure" for some reason, when no such thing as the "original" pizza actually existed

[simple breach]

went to a nice italian place in ocean city this year. best pizza ive ever had

[frank fulcrum]

Is the Chinese food thing real? I hadn’t heard that part

[undone quiver]

Yes, sweet and sour chicken in Americanized Chinese food

And also pineapple fried rice

[cloud yoke]

possibly political take on food, but pineapple is good on pizza, just not canadian bacon

[undone quiver]

There was a time (I think) in the 1950s or 60s when people started experimenting with food, as gelatin and various food ingredients, once considered expensive, got a lot cheaper due to world trade

[frank fulcrum]

Totally makes sense, super interesting!

[valid mirage]

Omg I thought I was alone in this specific pineapple on pizza opinion!!

[undone quiver]

(Also lots of terrible food was also invented in the post-war era, such as Ambrosia Salad)

[cloud yoke]

you want something that contrasts the sweetness and canadian bacon doesn't do that. Pepperoni does it better! BBQ flavor is good too though :D

[valid mirage]

I did meat lovers with pineapple.

[cloud yoke]

oooh okay that's a good one

also spicy items with it work well :D

[frank fulcrum]

I like fig/honey/blue cheese….

[undone quiver]

With that said, pineapples were not even from Hawaii, despite the name of Hawaiian Pizza. It's just that the colonists introduced that from Latin America, and there were lots of plantations for pineapples as a result

[undone quiver]

Great combination of fruit and cheese!

If you put goat cheese, fig, and honey on a cracker, that's just French Hawaiian Pizza 😂

[frank fulcrum]

I can get behind that too 🤣

[undone quiver]

The enzyme in pineapple also tenderizes meat, which is why it's such a good combo as a marinade or sweet and sour sauce 😄

It also tenderizes your tongue as you eat them

[frank fulcrum]

Madelena are you actually a pineappleGPT program? Do we need to move to #machine-learning ???

[cloud yoke]

haha

[undone quiver]

Fun fact! Pineapple used to be an exotic expensive food fit for the royalty!

[tender kayak]

Oooh. Are we talking pizza toppings?

[worthy sluice]

Not saying it's bad

But I just woke up

[cloud yoke]

ooooooh

[tender kayak]

Banana, peanuts, curry powder and either salted ham or chicken.

If nothing else, it usually gives the pinapple fighters a common enemy.

[visual ember]

what is wrong with you people.

[ripe lichen]

You're the second person I've seen with banana on pizza recently

[worthy sluice]

Okay so I have baby mais

And some teriyaki sauce

I want to make lunch

What's good to get to make this nice

[hazy bison]

stir fry the baby mais, add teriyaki sause

do you have any more ingredients 😛

[worthy sluice]

I am going grocery shopping because I need chicken schnitzel for tonight

And the mona is in the aanbieding

So if there's something small I can add to make it nice

Hey all!
Im drowning a bit in the discor-reorg .. I am looking for a hangout for developers of custom components / integrations, since I have a related question for the integration im building. Where do I go?

[hot jungle]

Some of me and my wife creation

Could I join this club about kitchen?

I've also a small question

I've "several" devices, entity and stuff but it start to be a mess, is there some nice and really organized people for get some idea about naming conventions?

(Around 282 devices and 1300 entities... but it's a total mess 😆)

[valid mirage]

Hmmmm! That's a really good question! I would think you'd want to talk to people about that in #home-and-garden (it being related to your home) or #the-workshop (it being related to the hardware you're using). But I'd also allow dashboard/organization advice in #the-water-cooler.

[valid mirage]

ANYONE can join!

[valid mirage]

Excellent, that is the content I am here for.

[hot jungle]

Let me find one which was very good

Home made shawarma with home made Algerian Kabyle revisited bread, hummus and grilled peppers

[valid mirage]

Just plain garlic hummus?

[hot jungle]

Ofc

With in law olive oil

@wheat thistle come here

[wheat thistle]

Oh now we are talking.

[hot jungle]

This is food

Actual food

[wheat thistle]

I see.

I would hate to disappoint you but hold your horses 😁

[hot jungle]

It's just "fast food"

🤣

[wheat thistle]

Definitely looks good for fast food. Been ages since I had fast food.

[limpid linden]

i like how the shawarma is presented lol

[wheat thistle]

Me too.

[hot jungle]

We don't go, we cook home better than resto so...

[limpid linden]

im gearing up to sous vide some beef ribs for tomorrow 🤤

[hot jungle]

Never tried already

But I've a funny story

We do have induction

And I'm a coffee lover

Even the weird one

[limpid linden]

thats always my dillema when going to a steakhouse lol

[limpid linden]

once i started to use the sous vide i pretty much started to live by it lol

[hot jungle]

Fire for coffee 🤣

[wheat thistle]

Singaporean Chilli Dungeness crab. Short grain rice in Buffalo ghee, roasted cashews with pandan leaves. I like to cook fusion dishes

[limpid linden]

at fisrt i was like hookah coals?

wow that crab looks great!! thats one thing i havent cooked at home yet 🙂

[hot jungle]

We can't find those crabs where I am

Our are smaller

In what area do you live to find these ? I did see some big as this when in Redmond

But in France you can't

[wheat thistle]

Ask me about crab lol. 3 to 4 times a week or else I will do a back flip.

[wheat thistle]

LA.

[hot jungle]

Make sens

American style crabs are bigger

But I didn't like the way it was served in the resto, on the table no plate nothing ... 🤣

[wheat thistle]

Pinot grigrio reduced, garlic butter clamps with home made French bread.

[hot jungle]

Ah looks great

[wheat thistle]

I eat about 2 to 3 kilos of crab at a time. Crab is about being messy.

I wouldn't want to have crab at Michelin star restaurant no matter how it tasted.

Pair of shorts, no shirt, pan and crabs. Life!

[hot jungle]

You know, I'm French, for us, eating with the adapted material is really important

This is Turkish Iskander

Zlabia

[wheat thistle]

Been to almost every 3 Michelin star over there. But sadly crab is not for that. People who talk about table manners and Crab, haven't had real crab. Just a fact.

[hot jungle]

Yeah, I know, but at least, put a plate 😆

I don't like the taste of the wood of the table

"Crepe" cake

[wheat thistle]

Oh no. Crab is always pan to mouth

[hot jungle]

Then the pan on the table

I'm ok with that

But not on the table directly

[wheat thistle]

It's on the table. Of course not stove > pan > mouth. Come on now.

Lmao.

[hot jungle]

[hot jungle]

Once I've been kicked of a Chinese

[wheat thistle]

That's a thing. 😁

They didn't think a guy around 1.80 m for 55kg

So 5 f 10 for American

121 lbs

Will eat more than the rest of the table alone

[wheat thistle]

Nothing like tropical fruit. Young coconut and Rambutan 😍 @visual ember your favs

[amber grotto]

I haven’t had those in forever, they are expensive here

[wheat thistle]

We have plenty in LA. But the best quality ones are at Costco

[visual ember]

@wheat thistle want some steak?

glutten-less mashed potatos

[wheat thistle]

It's 2024 people still eat potatoes?

[visual ember]

only people with common sense

[wheat thistle]

There's no common or uncommon sense about eating potatoes ATM

[visual ember]

oh? is that another thing tainted in Mordor?

you guys can't catch a break it seems lol

[wheat thistle]

I usually skip places that serve tatoes

[visual ember]

with your taste buds, I can understand

[worthy sluice]

How do you recognize those

[wheat thistle]

Carefully

[amber grotto]

Good potato is delicious

[worthy sluice]

At home I hated mashed potatoes with a passion

Now I live on my own and the trick is to use butter and use a bit of milk

[rain scaffold]

ah the good ole "my parents suck at cooking" thing

My mom is a health nut, makes great food, but it's always super healthy which means no butter or additives usually. When I left the house and started eating non-healthy things, I was like "WTF is this shit, what have I been missing????"

I could eat sticks of butter if someone asked 🤣

[worthy sluice]

Their lack of spices annoyed me

[rain scaffold]

Are you German?

isn't that a stereotype?

[worthy sluice]

Dutch, so close

[rain scaffold]

My wife's family recipes are German, they are all pretty bland... I don't tell her that though 🤣

[worthy sluice]

I mean they would throw together an onion, mushrooms, bell pepper and cook that and be like

[wheat thistle]

Wagyu time

Time.....😆

[pure crag]

Meat eggs?

[sullen heath]

I think it needs more garlic.

[amber grotto]

That’s massively overdone! 😝

Best wagyu I’ve ever had was as sushi. Slightly touched by flame.

[wheat thistle]

You mean A3, A5 or Olive Wagyu. This is not that. Lol. I would dare put A3 and above in a cast iron. 😆

[amber grotto]

It was Japanese grade A5 hida beef

Would be nice to put that in a cast iron actually but only for a very short moment, just for a very very slight sear

Hot pan. Just a few seconds

[wheat thistle]

Blow torch much better.

[amber grotto]

Yeah… i don’t have that. I don’t have my own wagyu either though

[wheat thistle]

If you like A5 try Olive

[amber grotto]

I need to find some good wagyu where i live actually (Canberra, Australia)

[amber grotto]

I’ve noticed what A5 means varies a bit outside of Japan

[wheat thistle]

Olive is A5, Olive fed.

[amber grotto]

Ah, i see.

[wheat thistle]

I do like Australian wagyu as well.

[amber grotto]

Unfortunately most people in my area aren’t into wagyu so it’s not easy finding excellent cuts.

Yeah i understand we have like the second best wagyu. But i need to find a butcher that has it and good cuts at that, not a sad sealed bag of grey meat.

[wheat thistle]

Wagyu is mainly an online thing. Maybe you can find a good supplier that ships fresh and not grey

BTW Costco carries them from time to time.

[amber grotto]

I’ll have to keep a closer watch at Costco!

Would be far too much but then again … would be a treat

I’m close to Costco these days

They have the best meat in the area actually

[wheat thistle]

They have the best of anything.

My costco had it for $90 and was a steal. But haven't seen since early summer.

[amber grotto]

Local butchers tend to favour local tastes… which are for very lean meat.

[wheat thistle]

Kagoshima prefecture

[amber grotto]

That does look excellent.

This is the only wagyu at Costco here, and online only at that, with no price:

Says business delivery so it might be only for business and not regular folk

It has barely any marbling at all

I expect restaurants would be ordering that and locals would enjoy the lean meat, which would be cooked medium

[wheat thistle]

Yes not much marbling

We do have a wide selection at costco next day air stuff

[amber grotto]

So jealous! That would be absolutely delicious

Would still be excellent meat but disappointing the lack of options. There is one on the other side of the city that might have some i can get.

[wheat thistle]

Local costco single piece ones I miss.

[amber grotto]

Your Costco does them in single pieces!?

Ours only does massive bulk

[wheat thistle]

Yes

Vac-packed

Anyway good night 🙂

[rain needle]

is this a good place to ask about HA compatible wifi meat thermometers?

[tight dagger]

Not really. #1284966353798697001 would be a better spot.

[valid mirage]

Eh, no, I disagree.

[tight dagger]

???

[valid mirage]

Some quick questions like that are pretty easy to answer. But also we have #the-workshop for those who want to talk hardware that's compatible with HA without looking for support.

[tight dagger]

(I have an answer ready 😛 )

[valid mirage]

You could go be the Apollo Preacher you already are.

[tight dagger]

Psh... whatever! Quit knowing me so well!!! lol hahaha

[tight dagger]

So, what's the question?

[rain needle]

I have an Inkbird ibbq-4T I've been using, that I recently connected to HA via local Tuya, but the other night I made a steak, and almost lost it because suddenly the probes were popping on and off, I think the inkbird may be dying. Lookign for recomendations

[tight dagger]

Gotcha. So, as @valid mirage eluded to, I'm a HUGE fan of Apollo Automation. They are getting to release (probably in the next week or so) their TEMP-1 sensor that will have a grill/meat probe. https://apolloautomation.com/products/temp-1-waterproof-temperature-probe-for-home-assistant

There is a channel in their discord where we have been discussing the sensor itself.

Otherwise, the Govee grill sensors are supposed to be pretty good and have an integration into HA as well.

[rain needle]

Apollo's is coming soon (TM) ?

quick google for govee and it appears to be bluetooth. How does that work? I"d need some sort of bluetooth device within range of my grill?

even a zigbee meat thermometer should be good for me. I wonder if any of those exist

[tight dagger]

Yeah, rumor has it in the next week or two.

[tight dagger]

I think they might be WiFi too, but I don’t know tbh.

[tight dagger]

The problem with a zigbee temp probe is the reporting lag. Most of them should report quick enough, but not always.

[rain needle]

Ah I see. My HA box is definitely out of Bluetooth range from my grill, what do people do to use Bluetooth devices in that case?

[rain needle]

I actually think I may have accidently figured out the problem with my inkbird. One probe in particular. The other three seem to be working fine by themselves, add the last one and it goes all wonky.

[violet scroll]

People use ESP bluetooth proxies to extend bluetooth range over wifi: https://esphome.io/components/bluetooth_proxy.html

I was in Paris with some colleagues last christmas and one guy had steak tartare. And the waiter was soooo worried.

We ordered, and he was like "oh... k..."

And then he came back. "You know what that is, right?" "Yes, we have it in Sweden too."

[frank fulcrum]

ooh, Paris.

[tender kayak]

And then he came back again. "You know it's not actually cooked, right?"

ok then you don’t, here have some wine

No.

Oh man, I finally enjoyed wine yesterday

But that was only because we drunk wine with sprite

[frank fulcrum]

You are now banned from Spain, Italy, and France

[fervent isle]

But you know, asking plate modifications is really a cultural thing from the US. “Can I have this but without that”
Most French restaurant will be like “fuck off go cook if you don’t like my menu”

plate modifications make me cringe so hard. I want to crawl under the table.

Oh. Ordering a Café americano is always fun. When you get the water in a tiny pitcher beside the coffee - because they're sure not going to do it.

Honey, frozen beer

Or frozen honey beer

I did have one beer that I genuinely enjoyed

[cloud patrol]

Hi, is anyone using home assistant with their cooking? I've just linked my recipe organizers timers to flash lights in my kitchen when they're done.

The idea is that I can often zone out when there's a slow cook going on and I might not catch a regular alarm.

Just wondering if this seems useful to anyone else, or just me (as I posted the same on reddit and there didn't seem to be much traction).

[valid mirage]

I think a lot of people could benefit from something like that! But maybe not many cook. 🤔

This is essentially what I want to do for my son and reminding him he’s supposed to be doing some cleaning in his room. 😆

[cloud patrol]

Yes, seems not many cook. Well, if anyone wants to combine the two I've got it set up at https://somefinefood.com . There's now a setting for home assistant server and webhook id for timers to call when complete.

👋🏻 any acaia integration users here?

[thorny iris]

questions about integrations go in #1284966582375813201

and I suggest starting with the question rather than asking if anybody is using it

[valid mirage]

Lol Rob I pointed them here. #the-water-cooler message

[thorny iris]

it was impossible to tell from the vague question 🙂

everybody is ready to party

[clever jasper]

lemme rephrase then: anyone using the acaia integration and got any cool uses for the data? 🙂

[valid mirage]

Fair, also new member.

I ASSUMED YOU WOULD READ ALL THE CHANNELS, MY BAD.

[thorny iris]

I'm regrettably not all-seeing or all-knowing. Still on my todo list

[valid mirage]

Why do I keep you around then, jeez.

[thorny iris]

I have 4 Acaia devices (2 scales and 2 ion beams) and none are actually supported by the integration 😦

[frank fulcrum]

Josef said they might be-- he only had 2 models to test with

[thorny iris]

they all show up, but everything is unavailable

yeah, I kinda expected it. I'll dig into it at some point

[frank fulcrum]

which scales do you have Rob?

(seeing if I can avoid testing)

[thorny iris]

I have a Lunar and a Pearl, but the versioning they use is super annoying

like, do I have an AL008/AL009/AL010 or AL001/AL006/AL007?

I have to turn it on and look at the firmware version to tell

I think I have the original Lunar (not the 2021 model)

[frank fulcrum]

I've never paid attention to that (I have a pearl too); now I'm curious

[thorny iris]

and the Pearl, not the Pearl S

[frank fulcrum]

same

[thorny iris]

they're all detected right away

[valid mirage]

I wonder how I would use the data from the scale?

I've been thinking about that since Beta day and I knew it was coming.

[thorny iris]

I think the main espresso use case is stopping the espresso shot when the scale reads a certain weight

that's built into a special Acaia scale and works with some La Marzocco espresso machines, but could be universal managed through HA

[frank fulcrum]

I forgot how horrid the native app is

[thorny iris]

my espresso machine is volumetric and automatically stops at a certain volume (which tracks weight pretty well), so I don't have a use case. That's why I haven't pursued it yet

their updater app is terrible and annoying. The one that gives you a remote scale is equally crappy and outdated

but I do really like their scales

[frank fulcrum]

same

[thorny iris]

they actually took my complaint and suggestion seriously and released a new firmware with what I asked for

[valid mirage]

Oh, interesting!

[thorny iris]

I got sick of the scale stopping early due to a slow flow rate (like dripping espresso) and they released a new firmware that doesn't stop within the first 10s or so of the shot after the first drops are detected

I sent them many videos and complaints and they implemented what I asked 🙂

[frank fulcrum]

I just want HA to alert for battery levels more than anything.

[frank fulcrum]

That's pretty great

[thorny iris]

the pourover mode of the pearl is pretty good, too

it makes it much easier to calculate extraction ratio because it does the math for you

[valid mirage]

That really would be nice seeing as so many other devices have the ability to.

[thorny iris]

that's not usually such a big deal for me because it tells me when the battery is low when I turn it on to use it, and I just plug it in after the shot

[frank fulcrum]

My favorite shop has said the same about this.

[thorny iris]

I mainly care about battery levels for devices that I don't interact with and won't notice a low battery

I thought the flow rate measurement would be interesting for pourover, but I haven't found it to be useful at all

it just doesn't matter at all

[paper burrow]

If they are detected they should (theoretically) work (since b4, did a whoopsie before), as I'm doing a test connection to pull BT characteristics.

But I guess there’s something not right

And of course you got one - well two - too Rob, should’ve expected that 😂

[clever jasper]

i have a lelit bianca (so not volumetric/integrated) and am trying to use the acaia integration to "track shows", somewhat flow profiling vs. taste

but similarly working out how to use the super cool data

[worthy sluice]

You're both awful 😂

[thorny iris]

I'm ashamed of the amount of unused coffee stuff I have, but I use those scales everyday. I'll see if I can figure out what's wrong

[paper burrow]

Love you too 😘

[thorny iris]

@paper burrow I think I was a victim of the issue in the beta that you mentioned earlier and had somehow ended up with two separate HA devices for each of my Acaia devices. I just removed everything and rediscovered them and now both my Lunar and Pearl work with the integration

[worthy sluice]

https://youtu.be/aHrxGxWNIv4

[thorny iris]

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing!

I tried KerryGold and found it to be dry, crumbly, and annoying to use, but it could have been a bad batch. I liked Plugra, but they stopped carrying it at my supermarket. Challenge is good

[valid mirage]

I haven’t watched it but I love making my own butter. It’s always better.

[rustic hawk]

No, it's butter.

[paper burrow]

Interestingly Kerrygold is sometimes cheaper than the local ones here

[granite burrow]

This is really tough work... I always got bored of it 😄

[valid mirage]

There’s a cool tool you can get that makes it so much easier!

[thorny iris]

[valid mirage]

https://www.amazon.com/Butter-Cheese-Cloth-INCLUDED-Churner/dp/B0C4W3SG4R/

[clever jasper]

ok anyone with an acaia scale, i have been entirely too fixated on getting interesting data from it (cc @paper burrow ). with a combination of some helpers, a template to count the duration of flow, and the google sheets integration, i can now have every shot i pull added to a google sheet automatically

i'm not entirely sure how i will use this, i might find a way to pop up a form or later on add a 'taste' rating, and maybe the bean inputs, so i can track what the best grind settings are for each bean

i suspect i could use something like zapier that when data is added, it sends me a form to fill out... although the forms may get tedious. need to work out how i gather the bean/grind/taste inputs 😁

[clever jasper]

Durations are different since i need to tweak the threshold for "shot being pulled" (HA was looking at the scale reporting greater than 0.01g and the scale itself registers only on >0.1g) but basically working 🙃

Happy holidays.

I'm looking into buying a new oven. Currently eyeing AEG og Miele. WiFi is a nice-to-have but I would like for it to be locally or being able to run locally. Miele seems to have some connection with HA but I can't find anything with aeg. Has anyone seen HA/third party with AEG/Electrolux?

Or if anyone knows their stances towards open source. Seems that Electrolux have a developer portion but since I can't find a plugin I guess they could suck

https://github.com/albaintor/homeassistant_electrolux_status

[neon spade]

the house I bought came with a Miele extractor hood that claimed to be "smart", but in the 4 years between that extractor hood being installed and me buying the property, the old hood wasnt able to register against Mieles new service and zero documentation about getting it updated. I wouldnt trust them one iota to provide a meaningful sustainable integration

Or frittata

Tortillas have none of those things

[neon spade]

Every Tortilla I ever had had these things. The recipe is from my wife's close friends for decades from Spain ...

are you people thinking of Mexican Corn Tortillas?

[thorny iris]

Or flour

[neon spade]

yeah, different continent, same word

completely different thing

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortilla?wprov=sfti1

I see the note at the top

[neon spade]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_omelette

no-one I know from spain or southern europe would call this an omelette

but its probably like "Berliner" which are called "Pfannkuchen" in Berlin, while almost everywhere else "Pfannkuchen" is what Berliners call "Eierkuchen"

[digital current]

whats funny is.. if you're in spain, and just want a plain egg omelette .. its a tortilla francesa .. or.. french omelette

[neon spade]

(and these Pfannkuchen are usually Dutch Style pancakes which are different than American pancakes)

[digital current]

they're closer to crepes

(i used to brunch.. a lot)

[neon spade]

they are much thicker than crepes, but less thick than american pancakes

[thorny iris]

Just finished my regular American cheese omelette

0 potatoes

I decided to modify a flatbread recipe on the fly last night and asked Alexa for help.....

Q: Alexa, what is the baker's hydration percentage for yogurt?

R: The baker's hydration percentage for yogurt is around 60%. This percentage can vary based on factors such as age, sex, and body type of the individual. It is important to maintain a healthy
hydration level when baking, as it can affect the quality of the yogurt.

I'm with you, dude

[digital current]

really it isn't because White Claw is kind of marketed towards the younger crowd, and the younger crowd doesn't drink alcohol as much

[thorny iris]

White Claw exists because somebody wanted to sell sparkling water with alcohol

and then they removed the alcohol 🤷

[digital current]

so, it's actually good marketing... buy the alcoholic version AND the non alcoholic version, and most people won't even know which version you're drinking.. they'll see "whtie claw" and know to just avoid you completely

It's called Grapele. gray-pull, grape and purple merged.

Tonight, I made pizza. This time I made the sauce myself, but used a lump of dough I got from my brother's girlfriend's sister, who manages a pizza joint called Manolo's on campus here. This was spectacularly good. Only downside was giving it a hull breach with the spatula when releasing it from the cast-iron pan.

I made pizza last week too, but I used dough made by my brother's girlfriend with Rao's pizza sauce. Was not overly impressed with the Rao's...It tasted like Chef Boyardee. So, next time it's home-made dough and home-made sauce...And, if I can come up with one, a larger-diameter cast-iron pan.

I am picky about my pizza; I like the deep-dish, casserole type stuff, like you get from Lou Malnati's or similar, and that's what I was going for.

I would go pay money for pizza like this, even if I stuck with the sourdough crust. Really looking forward to trying the basic flour-dough recipe again.

[cursive scroll]

Even my wife liked it...Which is rare. She does think it has too much sauce. She's here for the extra-cheesy pizza; I'm a sauce guy.

[digital current]

why am i 10 minute sinto a 40 minute video about rice..

[modest ledge]

I've been quite enjoying having his videos on as background noise while I'm working

[hot nimbus]

its actually interesting ill admit that

[thorny iris]

I was thinking that that was terrible for that nice camera above the cooktop and then it overheated 🙂

I was thinking it would be covered in oil

[thorny iris]

I've never thought of sous vide rice 🙂

[modest ledge]

If only chamber vacuum sealers were cheaper

Bag full of water doesn't work so well with the other kind

[worthy sluice]

because its GOOD

[hot nimbus]

Missed an opportunity to call it chicken fridge rice

[worthy sluice]

oh but wait, you missed this video

This guy makes amazing deep dives

[hot nimbus]

Yeah I watched halfway through it while I was cooking pasta lol

I've always just been a "stick the rice in the pot and follow the instructions on the box" kinda person

[worthy sluice]

He also made a video about pasta!

[hot nimbus]

But the science behind food is always interesting

I'll have to check more of how stuff out

[worthy sluice]

[hot nimbus]

Ooh I've actually asked myself that question before

I'll check it out

Oh my gods I had a raspberry white mocha from my local cafe and

I guess this technically belongs in here. 🤣 Scan the QR code for the full Pi recipe and also a real pie recipe!

[rustic hawk]

Technically belongs in #the-workshop. Culinary belongs in here. 😝

[valid mirage]

No no, there is a food recipe in there!

Well, I guess you have to dig for it.

BUT IT'S THERE.

[rustic hawk]

I guess this technically belongs in here.

It culinary belongs in here.

lmao

I get it now.

Went a bit overboard on the veggies this weekend.

[valid mirage]

Trying to get back into eating regularly and not just stuffing my face with processed food - I've gained more than I am happy with over the past year. (Remembering to eat is a common problem neurodivergent people have.)

These greek yogurt muffins are a huge hit in the house, and I'm gonna start making them to get better protein in the morning. Also gonna try making our own bagel sammiches so I stop spending $9 on one from our favorite cafe. 😆

[thorny iris]

That was my theory with coffee before I spent many $$$ to replicate that coffee at home 🙂

Profit!

[frank fulcrum]

You’re basically flushing money down the tube if you don’t have a coffee setup at home valued at $10k or higher. It’s basic math.

-# we pursued the fallacy of we can now make great coffee at home so now we won’t go out for coffee. We now just drink 2x the coffee, half at home half at our favorite spots 😂

[thorny iris]

it does give me the ability to drink as much excellent coffee as I want before I take a shower in the morning

[worthy sluice]

drink coffee during shower

[thorny iris]

Protip: shower water makes terrible coffee

[valid mirage]

If good beans weren't so fucking expensive, I'd not be using the Korean and Vietnamese instant coffees I use.

[thorny iris]

that's one of my recurring indulgences

[valid mirage]

Costco eggs haven't raised in price for the most part so making them with eggs won't be too expensive, but we want to make the bagels at home, too.

[thorny iris]

Mmm...Egg coffee...

I can easily go through 2 12oz bags a week myself.

[thorny iris]

I keep going back and forth between RDT and using my Ion Beam

they both reduce static, but the former can also gunk up the grinder and lead to beans sticking in the grinder opening

amount of water in the spray is key, and depends on the moisture content in the beans and the humidity in the air

As always, James Hoffmann has the goods: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLnB99VJ0HE

[modest ledge]

I liked his recent one when he did the Charlie Kelly conspiracy meme 😄
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4qDYsSvNIQ

[thorny iris]

yeah, that was cute

he took it to the extreme

I have my process pretty much dialed in so I almost never get channeling anymore

Fresh beans make a huge difference. They make or break everything

[frank fulcrum]

The GOAT

[valid mirage]

Considering to start roasting my own since green beans are fairly cheap all things considered lol.

[thorny iris]

That and surgery I leave to the experts 😉

[rustic hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/bh187-mr-bean-thumbs-up-i-got-this-you-got-it-gif-19287034

[thorny iris]

The good things about green beans is that they're relatively cheap and last for a long time

The roast is so important to the brew that I prefer absolute consistency over local control

[frank fulcrum]

You just need a full sized computer controlled roaster Rob.

[thorny iris]

I don't know why, but I just don't care about that at all

[thorny iris]

I think part of it is that it's another chore that I need to remember to do before I need the roasted beans

[frank fulcrum]

Yeah that’s totally fair.

[teal wedge]

time to upgrade to a larger burr 😏 no rdt needed

[thorny iris]

I'm at 98mm

going bigger is...big

[teal wedge]

monolith?

[thorny iris]

yes, Monolith Max & Max2

[teal wedge]

damn... and you still get static?

[thorny iris]

depends on moisture content of the beans and relative humidity

for espresso grinding, yes, there's always some level of static and associated mess

there's a big difference with a single spray of water, and using the ion beam is almost as good

[teal wedge]

interesting... i only get static on my smaller burr drip grinders. my espresso grinder (niche zero) never produces any static.

i pull mostly medium or medium-light roasts and buy them fresh enough that i need to let them age a bit before dialing in

[thorny iris]

darker roasts tend to have lower moisture content, so more chance for static

I'm currently using Espresso Vivace Dolce, which are darker and more oily and definitely make a mess if I don't do something

[teal wedge]

yeah, fair. just comparing the same bean across my grinders, i had correlated burr size with static.

bummer that Espresso Vivace doesn't do bulk

[thorny iris]

yeah

I have a subscription

[teal wedge]

1 kg is the smallest I buy these days and 5 lb is more common

[thorny iris]

I have a mostly dedicated freezer and set of mason jars for storing that much

[teal wedge]

yup, same

2/3 my beans and 1/3 my wife's decaf beans

[thorny iris]

I also like Caffe Lusso Gran Miscela Carmo and can get that in larger amounts. It's a lighter roast and I don't have as much of an issue with static

maybe I'll go back to that next time

I still get my pourover beans from them

<drinking some right now>

[teal wedge]

I used to recommend Redbird to folks who were looking for a more "Italian" shot (as compared to the medium- and medium-light third wave single-origins I trend towards) and a more affordable bean... but their quality has gone downhill and I haven't found a replacement for them yet.

I make Top Ramen on the stove, toss with garlic butter, and add some chilis in oil on top. Today I decided to add in a couple boiled eggs for protein.

Thought I was gonna be slick and be able to use the same water to boil the eggs for the noodles, but no. One of the eggs cracked while boiling and leaked itself in the water.

[thorny iris]

Today's eggs are like yesterday's truffles

expensive protein 🙂

[valid mirage]

Costco's 24 pack is still relatively cheap - I think they've only increased their price $1 at my store.

[worthy sluice]

How expensive are eggs bow

Now

[valid mirage]

My area is not reflective of others, I am on the high end of things.

A dozen is currently $9 in our regular grocery store.

Costco's 24 pack is $7, iirc (but my husband shops there way more than I do I don't go outside lmao).

[worthy sluice]

Thanks for reminding me of eggs btw

Was about to go for a stroll and grab an ice cream at the McDonald's

But now I'm going to make filled eggs

I'm also at the point where I need to order pizza twice before the end of the month

Because the pizza place I order at, has like a 10+1 free thing

And during my 2 years here, I already got 9

So if I now order one

The next one is free

[valid mirage]

Filled eggs?

[worthy sluice]

In fallout 3 it's called devilish eggs I think

I'll make a picture

[frank fulcrum]

Deviled eggs

[valid mirage]

I thought that’s what you meant.

[worthy sluice]

We just call them filled eggs

[thorny iris]

Filled with the devil!

[valid mirage]

I have no idea why they are “deviled” lol.

[wise swift]

Deviled is a food term for something filled with spicy things. I remembered something near this from chef training but I have to admit I had to search it to be sure. I haven’t done proper cooking things since first year of college, I’ve been HD mechanic for 14 years now 🙈

[worthy sluice]

TIL

[ornate slate]

EGGs.....yum

[rustic hawk]

@worthy sluice When?

[worthy sluice]

LOL

yes

[rustic hawk]

[gilded dock]

Hotwings were originally called deviled wings I think

[median hare]

Flapjack (oatmeal tray bake, not pancakes), chocolate and walnut brownies, and some cookie dough which will be made into cookies in a bit!

[thorny iris]

last one looks like chocolate chip cookie dough

[median hare]

It is chocolate chip cookie dough, with 2 kinds of chocolate chip!

[frank fulcrum]

This sounds so good. I made oatmeal, chocolate chip, espresso cookies a few weeks ago which were 🔥🔥

[median hare]

I'm now drinking Prosecco while I wait for the brownies to cool enough to cut and then I can make more sensible decisions about the cookie dough (namely: not eating it raw, or baking it all now)

[thorny iris]

they can cook in your stomach

I'm pretty sure that's how cooking works

[frank fulcrum]

Just wait for a fever to strike and you’re slow cooking

[median hare]

These eggs are safe to eat with a runny yolk

(Red lion FTW)

[thorny iris]

Your body adjusts its temperature based on what the food you just ate needs

[median hare]

But I think I should not eat 2 trays of cookies + a pan of brownies + a pan of flapjack in one sitting

[thorny iris]

that just sounds like dinner

[frank fulcrum]

Stop thinking— problem solved

[median hare]

I already ate a whole pizza

[thorny iris]

you're an adult and you can eat whatever you want

[frank fulcrum]

Seriously it sounds like you’re having an excellent night

[thorny iris]

sounds like you're on some kind of food-based game show

cook all these things and then you have to eat all of it

[median hare]

Honestly it's so much fun.
That may be the cocktails or the Prosecco talking, but this is the best part of being a grown up.

-# Also having a dishwasher to make the cleanup easier

[frank fulcrum]

https://tenor.com/view/pikachu-gif-13575853101874488635

What kind of cocktails?

[median hare]

Margarita and a whiskey and coke

[frank fulcrum]

That plus Prosecco and I’d be dead. Too much mixing

[median hare]

As long as I keep red wine out of it I'll be fine

Plus none of these have been large measures!

Lol, mid last week I'd had a particularly stressful day at work. Wanted some kind of cold drink.
Had no cold mixers, no cold beer.
The only thing at chilled consumption temperature was a bottle of limoncello.
