    Slightly smelly cod

    Thank you for a very informative post. Is it advisable to 'de-gas' all fish using this method before consumption?
  2. So I made my two mini lemon bundt cakes using the whole egg. Thanks everyone for responding to my question. Picture attached - they were tasty little things, although my glazing skills leave a lot to be desired.

    If I may ask, what are the quantities of each ingredient you use for your ribs?
  4. As mentioned, I looked through a bunch of threads and posts on egullet and did not see your post or else I missed it. I decided to just go with using the whole egg as suggested by the others and see what happens.
  5. I have looked through this site and have done some googling but can't find a definitive answer. I have recently started buying eggs directly from a farmer and they are jumbo size. They weigh between 70 and as much as 76 grams. Today I am planning on making 2 mini lemon bundt cakes. The recipe calls for 1 large egg. Can I use the smallest jumbo egg that I have or should I blend the egg and not use part of it? A lot of the sites I looked at said if a recipe calls for 1 large egg it is okay to substitute 1 jumbo. Other sites say to blend the egg thoroughly and then weigh out the amount needed, but I would rather not discard any of it if I don't have to. Thanks for your help.
  6. Anna, that looks fantastic!

    Taco seasoned beef stuffed into pasta shells, topped with cheese and tomato. Served with salad on a chipped plate. I need new plates.

    Anna N beat me to it. I did cut the sugar in half as I found the full amount too sweet. But maybe that's just me.

    Dinner tonight was pork tenderloin SV at 135F then seared in my cast iron pan, Berkeley mushrooms, duck fat roasted potatoes and corn that I had frozen from last year's harvest.

    What are diner peas?
  17. Well, what do you know! I just hard boiled and deviled some quail eggs, also as an appetizer for before Easter dinner. I think I would rather have made your recipe. How long do they have to stay in the pickling brine as a minimum before they can be eaten? Are you deep frying the Scotch eggs?

    Hellman's on the right.
  19. The last time I made ice cream I got out my vanilla beans and found they had completely hardened to the point that the one I took out of the bag snapped in two. I stuck it in the cream anyway and by the time the cream had warmed up, the bean was supple. So I scraped out the beans and carried on.
  20. Thank you for answering. Do you use an equal substitution? By that I mean, if I make something that calls for 1/4 cup cocoa powder, would I use the full 1/4 black cocoa in it's place?

    I've only ever let them sit a couple of hours at most and it does draw a lot of the moisture out.
  22. I'm curious, because I have a bag of it in my cupboard which I bought without really thinking about what I was going to do with it - what do you use black cocoa for?

    Kayb, would it help to salt the sliced zucchini and let them drain a bit before roasting?
  24. I'm in Canada and I can buy them here. The first time I had them they came in a take out order from Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse, NY and I have been buying and cooking them ever since. Can't get too much more northern than where we're at.
  25. Neat experiment. I'll try just about anything once. Do you remember what the fat % was of the yogurt you used? Was it a Greek style yogurt or a regular one? I used to buy cultured butter all the time but stopped when they started charging over $7 a pound.
