I apologize if this is a topic-- I did search and couldn't find one that exists.
I am cursed with weak teeth and often have uncomfortable dental procedures and/ or oral surgery.
Tonight my mouth was numb for hours and I was exhausted from anxiety and nitrious that I made a box of Betty Crocker's Scallop Potatoes.
I didn't want soup in case the numb half of my mouth didn't allow for consumption without a bib of some sort.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who deals with the need to eat after an uncomfortable dentist appointment. What do you all eat? I've found slowly nibbling on a grilled cheese to work, mashed potatoes of course are easy but sometimes you want protein so scrambled eggs are the only thing I can think of.
Suggestions are welcome as I had a temporary cap put on and will have the permanent one to deal with in two weeks.
MetsFan I'm Dental Surgeon in Brazil. I am periodontist and studied oral and maxilofacial surgery in Japan.
In the first 24 hours after the surgery prefer cold and paste or soft food. Like yogurt, ice creams, gelatin. Avoid chew int the surgery side. Cold compress in the face and cold food will avoid to increasing face edema and pain in first 24hours.After 24 hours the cold compress and food have a opposite effect. It will cause the edema that exists longer decreasing. After 24 hours soups, risotos and warm and hot paste food will help you. In the first days.
After 2-3 days you can eat on the opposite side most of the food, avoid cruch and hard food.In most cases in one week you will can eat without restricitions.

Those manjuba are cute little fish, @Auro. Do they have any flavor that is distinctive? For instance - are they oily, strong, mild, salty? Your sushi platter looks delicious.
Smithy manjuba forms large shoals for mating in the spring.
They have a mild, oily taste.In Brazil the Caiçaras, the traditional population of the coastal regions of the southeast and south of Brazil.
Eat they fried.
It's a nice fish and tasty to eat in sushi.

Please do post about it, if not in this topic then in another. The ravioli idea sounds excellent, and I'm still working up to long cooks like 72h short ribs.
The inspiration of this dish is in the 46 minutes.
I will change a lot off ingredients, but the ideia is make a yellow polenta base, a short ribs and in the top a raviolli filled with a great wine and sage sauce.-

I'm cooking beef short ribs stock in the thermocirculator.
I don't like use plastic bags and bones in hight temperature. So I used a pan inside the cooler. The water level is very important to keep the right temperature in the pan, But works very well.
Leftovers
The sotck had a fat layer, that was cooled and removed.
The stock will be used in a short rib and wine ravioli recipe.
I'll try make a 72h sous vide short rib with wine sauce, and make a wine and sage gelatine to stuff a raviolli.

Tokyo Sushi Academy is a Sushi school in Japan.

Labor day Holiday I went to the Beach.
Is fall in Brazil and the temperatura is very pleasant.
We had a high Tide and a ocean storm last week so I can't fishing from the Beach.
I decided go to the fish market and find good stuffs.
I found BACUCU, bacucu is a mussel that grows in the mangrove inside the mud.
It's smaller than the ocean mussel and the taste is a bit stronger.
Beautiful oysters.
White Shrimps.
The fishermans can catch tree specimens of shrimp here.
The 7 barbas shrimp, white shrimp and pistol shrimp.
I prefer the white shrimp it have a sweet taste.
My family don't like raw oysters...
So I made with a bechamel sauce and gratin in the oven
The bacucu I made a tipical caiçara (brazilian native shore comunities) recipe.
Arroz lambe-lambe our lick-lick rice.
The tradicional way you have to cook the mussel with the rice and lick the shells when you eat.
And the shrimps was a fried with garlic

Some times I reard a frase our a coment and start to think about this.
I was looking the interview off a brazilian chef Alex Atala and he said that the world think that tapioca is an asian plant. And banana is a american plant.
Tapioca is a brazilian plant used for long time by the indians.
Thinking this I started with a research off asian food witn tapioca and found the vietnam Ban Bot Loc.
The base off Ban Loc Boc is an tapioca translucedent pasta, like a cristal ravioli.
Starting with this I thinked in a brazilian dish, The moqueca.
Is a tradicional dish with 2 versions, a Moqueca Baiana and Moqueca Capixaba. The Moqueca Baiana use coconut milk and the Capixaba not.
I made the Moqueca Capixaba, and wrapped in the tapioca pasta.
Made a Dende Oil farofa (another conversation) and a coconut, moqueca stock with xantana gun.
In this case I started with an ingredient, and an ideia to say a history with my food.

Some times I like to start with an ingredient. And wanted like a snak in a party or a friends dinner.
I wanted to star with quail eggs. Tried fried, cook, sous vide and poached.
The poached egg had the texture and aparence that I liked.
The base was a rice cracker. With homemade lard, the mix off the egg and lard was to much oily. So I added a gari flower (japanese ginger preserved).
The craking base, lard and egg taste with the acid gari, with a touch off red pepper was nice snak.
Most off the time I start with one ingredient, think in an ocasion, and pairing the textures and flavors.

I cooked Cupim this week.
Cupim is a brazilian cut of meat found in Zebu Ox .
It's a nicely render fat meat and wonderfull taste, but if cooked in a pan or fast in high temperature, the meat becomes very hard.
The brazilian way to cook cupim is in barbecue grill for several hours envolved in cellophane paper.
I tried in sous vide for the first time and the results was very good.
Cleaning the silver skin and excess fat.
Front side of the Cupim have a nice render fat in the meat and the back side is less faty.
Look the nice fat meat.
I seasoned with salt, pownder garlic an pownder onion.
85 celsius degree for 24 hours. I believe that is too much. I want to try 80 degrees for 24 hours.
After sous vide 250 degrees in the oven. And done.
Served with Farofa de Banana, a tapioca roasted powder with banana, onion, celery, and fried potatoes. And grilled vegetables in olive oil and salt.
The result was a melt in mouth meat.

Dry ageing fish techniques, Japanese style?
in Cooking
Posted
I had a few articles, but lost...
Sorry.
I remember that temperature is crucial. 3 to 5 graus celsius.
Drain the liquids, keeping in towel paper changing every day.
