I'm not sure if they ripen further, but the lady selling em said they are ready to eat, and the videos I've seen of ppl eating em, it looks pretty much the same as what I have. It makes sense to me that its popular, a lot of Hmong dishes are to the extremes of flavor, there's gonna be dips and dishes that are insanely sour, or salty, or blow your rear end off spicy, and they're meant to be eaten in small amounts with piles of bland, like sticky rice and steamed or fresh veg.

I highly recommend it if you ever find any. It's a great amalgamation of Lao/Cambodian/Viet/Thai foods

it's probably unripe from a botanical perspective but when ripe it might be bland and mushy and thus nobody is gonna eat it then

I live near a little Laotian cafe and it's really tasty. My favorite thing there is this stew called Gang Naw Mai which is mostly pumpkin, mushrooms, and shredded bamboo shoots. It has this wonderful kind of velvety texture. I also love Gang Aw Lao which is another soup with lemongrass, eggplant, and tons of dill. I can't vouch for Laotian meat dishes but my wife adores the sausages they make there.

There's a Laotian place near me and their sausages are incredible though I don't eat pork anymore so I haven't had them in a while. Btw they have "laotian tea" which as far as I can tell/google is just thai tea. Is Laotian tea a thing?

It is when you drink it in Laos. Serious answer Laos has all sorts of interesting tea, usually fermented varieties. But they don't really get outside of Laos as far as I can tell.

my mom tried to convince me for months to register for one when I got married and I was all like "I don't bake! I just need a hand mixer" and I think I'm still mostly right but also that I'm getting increasingly less right as time goes on.

I use my mixer to mash/cream potatoes also and it works really well. On the off chance you don't just want to dump a kilo of sugar into your body in the next week. e: if it didn't come with this guy you should pick it up. It's not ESSENTIAL but it's nice to use. And remember not to put any of these things in the dishwasher because the uncoated raw metal part at the top where it mounts reacts somehow and gets gross. Something to do with oxidization maybe?

Yeah I know you are crazy into bread but it has a ton of appeal otherwise. has the forum really reached the point where every opinion must be preceded by "this works for me but may or may not be appropriate for others; please proceed with caution apace as ymmv" note that op specifically talked about it in the context of not baking much VelociBacon posted:I use my mixer to mash/cream potatoes also and it works really well. On the off chance you don't just want to dump a kilo of sugar into your body in the next week. one thing with these is to be very careful that it's hitting the bowl with the exact correct amount of force and no more; long term use of it being slightly off on mine stripped a gear and i've had to take my mixer apart to fix some of their accessories are dishwasher safe on new models: but these are shiny stainless steel and should tell you. using the white powder coated ones are technically dishwasher safe but all the coating ended up peeling off on mine. i like the kenwood attachments because they're just all stainless off the bat mediaphage fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Mar 6, 2021 |

Were you using the bowl from a different mixer or was it not genuine kitchenaid or? Just wondering because I don't want to gently caress mine up.

There are good videos of adjusting the whisk height too, for maximum aeration. Look up one that matches your model!

I use my stand mixer for loving everything. Meatballs? Stand mixer. Egg whites? Stand mixer. Bread dough? Stand mixer. If it can fit and it takes effort in it goes. Though I do pasta dough in the food processor and pastry or biscuits by hand.

Lionshead for instance, or even swedish tend to be beaten to form that springy mixture.

Top tip: get a spare mixing bowl. And the paddle shown above with the rubber blade is great, seconded.

Homemade marshmallows are also a good stand mixer choice because it’s easy and you’ll give them to people and they’ll be like wait what you can MAKE marshmallows? As though marshmallows are harvested from verdant fields somewhere.
