Inbetween jobs at the moment. Previous job burnt me out. Miss most of the peeps I worked with though.

Just don't tell the Italians you added garlic 😉

You can add a bit of the pasta water with the butter to create an emulsion, then finish it by mixing in a bit of parmesan, and you've basically created alfredo sauce.

Nice, how did it taste? Norma ended up being my favourite pasta at the italian restaurant I worked at. And I used to hate aubergines.

Just finished Well of Ascension and started listening on Hero of Ages of the Mistborn series. I preferred The Final Empire to most of WoA, but the ending made me want to listen to HoA all day while cleaning today.

This is the first Sanderson series I have read, and so far really enjoying it.

Meidän perheen kissasta oli muistini mukaan mukavaa pureskella näitä lehtiä. Oksenteli sitten jälkeenpäin. Ovat tosiaan kasvaneet valtavasti ja ongelmitta.

Jep, saisi vielä fuugan kohdalta viimeisteltyä niin pääsisin jo lähes koko työmatkan pelkästään pyöräteitä pitkin.

En ole itse löytänyt mitään muuta keinoa kuin terässienellä ja suolalla hankaaminen tarpeeksi pitkään.

Hyvä vinkki. Pitää muistaa kun omat pehmikkeet hapertuu liikaa.

Yeah, I've been using firefox for as long as I can remember. Sad to see it go this way.

I switched to LibreWolf after seeing these news. It's been working just as well as firefox and you can adjust the privacy functions as much or as little as you want.

We've really enjoyed playing Slay The Spire on Tabletop Simulator. It's really fun to try and combine your abilites for the best results. And the roguelite makes it fun to play over and over again, just like the pc game. I would have already bought the physical game if it wasn't around 150€ here

 

This week I was put in charge of making a new vegan raspberry sherbet.

We had a recipe, it was straightforward enough. Add everything but the oat yogurt together, bring to a boil, handblend that and the yogurt together and pass it and freeze.

While getting all the ingredients into a pot, I ran out of sugar, so I had to go refill the box from dry storage and add the last 200g of sugar to the pot. Which I did, and put the pot to boil while working on my backlog of prep

What I hadn't noticed was that our dishwasher had been cleaning the dry storage during a quiet day, and they'd accidentally switched the lids on the salt and sugar containers, both of which are clearly labeled "SALT" and "SUGAR".

We realised what had happened when my coworker tasted the stuff in the pot and said "boy, you put salt in this." With a bewildered look on his face. I know he wasn't the kind of guy to make a joke like that so my heart sank when I realised I'd fucked up somehow.

While my sous chef was shouting about how "we're chefs we should know these things" we tried coming up with how to fix it. 200g of salt ended up being around 3% of the total weight of the product. So we decided to try adding more beetroot juice, lemon juice, vegan cream and finally combine it with the oat yogurt to make an end product that was still pretty salty, but closer to 1%

Next day, when we had frozen it and rolled it in the pacojet, the end result was a savory beetroot sherbet, a pretty unique flavour that somehow ended up working out really well. Very different from the raspberry sherbet we were going for though.
