The only person I've known with crohns ate a diet of about 90% cheeseburgers but he also complained about his crohns a lot.

Re: a page back about subbing oils for baking- in a lot of things the oil is oil but butter can be a little tricky in some recipes because butter contains both oil and water, and some recipes rely on releasing steam from butter as a part of producing the desired results.

Also you could like sub in eggplant for lasagna sheets (bake/fry them in a gluten free dredge if you like) and that'd be cool too.

Were the eggs pasteurized? Then they're probably safe.

Cool, thanks. She really misses pasta, since even 90% of the Italian restaurants around here can't make gluten free pasta without it sticking together. The one place that can is really expensive, too.

Bit late for this, but it is very reminiscent of Quebec's fèves au lard, which are usually slow cooked for hours (i.e.: overnight). Basically, the longer you cook it, the thicker it gets, so it's up to whether you want your beans more liquid.

This might be an odd request but I need some advice from goons with serious cookie game. I am working on a project to produce custom cookies using multi-piece 3D printed cutters; I'm trying to hit the local wedding and corporate gigs and make some spare cash this summer. I am looking for some cookie mixes with minimal 'slump' or deformation during baking, so that details like logo imprints or text remain legible. I do a lot of cooking, but cookies and cakes are fairly new to me.

For a bean dish that's more meaty and less sweet you might try Bean Jar - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guernsey_Bean_Jar

It's pretty much our national dish (tied with a species of Abalone we call 'Ormers'), probably derived from breton bean cassoulet recipes originally. It's hearty stuff, traditionally cooked in the ovens at your local bakers over night. Which is where the name comes from, you would take your family jar down to the bakers at closing, pick it up in the morning and eat it for breakfast. My tip is to use beef for the stock but pork hock for the meat, cook until the beans break down quite a lot and the dish thickens. Also leave out the carrots, they can ferment a little in the very slow cooking and give it a weird flavour, especially on re-heating leftovers.

Springerle cookies seem like what you're looking for:

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/150123/traditional-springerle/

You allow them to dry before baking them, which lets them keep their shape very well.

Gingerbread would probably work well too, you can cut that that into shapes, bake it and make houses and stuff out of it:

This was just eh for me. Maybe I messed something up because I never got a crust, and the chicken and sausage were overcooked at the end of the suggested cooking time.

The gelatin is key to the crust, so if you didn't use that then it's a must, unless you're using homemade stock that practically turns to jelly in the fridge. I didn't notice any overcooking, but the depth and intensity of flavor in the gravy/broth/whatever that mushy, creamy bean liquid is outshined the flavor of the chicken to me, anyway.

I try not to judge a recipe after just one attempt, but the effort involved in this one could be very discouraging. I hope you try it again! Another tip for the crust formation, I suppose: keep the oven shut as much as possible. Don't check on it for longer than suggested if you're having trouble getting a crust.

I measured out the rice and water into the rice cooker last night for today's lunch but forgot to set the timer so it's just been cold soaking since about 7pm last night. Is anything odd going to happen to it or can I just start the cooker when I get home this evening and have it for dinner tonight?

I have no idea but you should try it anyway and report back with your results.

I can't imagine it'd do anything aside from maybe make the rice a bit soggy.

hogmartin
Mar 27, 2007
Yeah, might as well. I'm guessing it won't hurt it too much because if I'd set the timer, it would have been sitting there for about ten hours anyway, and the timer on that particular model will let you delay it out to 15 hours. What's another 6 on top of that?

I tried researching it a bit and came up inconclusive -- my gut feeling (:haw:) is that since it's not a problem with dried, uncooked rice, but it survives cooking and then thrives, the presence of water must be what's allowing it to develop.

But I am not a biologist.

There are rice cookers which will purposefully do exactly what you did in order to try and germinate the rice.

That involves warm water though and multiple days.

I did use gelatin. I have newly made homemade stock in the freezer that is very very thick though, so maybe I'll give it another try. I agree that the effort messes with me a lot especially since my dutch oven's seasoning got hosed up hardcore by the cassoulet last time I made it and I had to do it over.

There's a restaurant here that makes a delicious lasagna. I asked about it a few months ago, but they finally have it on their online menu. The menu lists ingredients as sausage, tomatoes, pecorino, mozzarella, ricotta, bescamilla (bechamel?) and basil. Does anyone have a good recipe with approximately those ingredients? I was asking about gluten free lasagna a few days ago, and that's the type I was thinking of. It's absolutely delicious, but it's $24 per serving, and I could do a lot better than that.

Update - first recipe in the book came out good, just a basic cookie with lemon, although I'd probably double up the lemon flavouring next batch.

First impression, har


Tried this one at ~175 for 11 minutes, overshot on pretty much everything; especially temperature and thickness. Detail, however, is flawless.

Next batch rolled out with two wooden spatulas as depth stops for the rolling pin for a nice even thickness, thinner than the first test. Rolled and cut directly onto the paper this time (duh).


160 for 10 minutes. Extremely promising, very pleased. Next to try will be actual 3d detail, maybe I'll try a scanned face or something.
