I'm so sad that political opportunism has real consequences.
Going to Bulrush was a marvellous adventure –– and here I was hoping @Alex and @Chris Hennes would organize another field trip soon!
For shaping some kind of pasta which will be filled (stuffed) in the space left by the green thingie. Possibly those metal prongies expand the space or something.
@Shel_B, when you get interested in the Instant Pot say so on the forum somewhere and I, and others, can point you to some really helpful accessories for the IP. I.e. that could make cheesecake easy in the IP.
I think @Duvel was suggesting that you reduce the recipe by the number of whole eggs (i.e. divide everything by 7, then multiply by 3 (or 4) to get a half-size cheesecake.
Jo, truly, I love you. Thank you for your adventures. They're so impossible that they're almost funny. I'm sorry for your troubles, and I will continue to read every darn thing you write.
My pizza cutter has both a metal and plastic blade. When cutting pizza on the aluminum pan, I use the metal blade (chewy pizza crust). When cutting pie dough on a coated 1/4 sheet pan, I use plastic blade. Makes sense to put parchment paper down first.
I have a book about making various pestos and mint is one of the additions used. I think you could throw in a teaspoon's worth and see how well it works.
A couple days ago I baked chicken thighs and added a thick smear of fig/date mustard under the skin — it was delicious. So, perhaps some experimenting with under-the-skin pastes. Say green olives and garlic and dried mint?
