There's a lady over to the island who comes to the market, a mushroom farmer. I've been kind of curious about her mushroom kits, mostly the lion's mane ones.

It's probably wildly expensive per pound but it seems like a neat little thing to do.

I was gifted a North Spore lions mane kit last year. It was pretty fun when there was nothing going on with the pandemic. I have a black thumb otherwise but got a good first flush and made some “crab” cakes with it. I enjoyed it so much I bought an oyster kit as a gift for someone else.

If you think you might like a fun little hobby thing like this then you probably will. I’m definitely interested in growing more.

Anyone ever try hot pot or Shabu shabu at home? One of my best dining experiences ever was at a shabu shabu place in San Francisco. Only other ones I've found have been Chinese and it's not my favorite. Wondering if anyone has tried the devices they sell for it on Amazon. Is this the dumbest thing I could attempt at home as a general purpose white person?

Hotpot is pretty hard to mess up as long as you have a portable burner, buy a bunch of ingredients and go in

I haven't personally made it but I know you need very thinly sliced meat for it so that it cooks really quickly when you dunk it in the hot broth.

We do hotpot probably once a week. I have a little induction burner and divided pot so I can do two broths. It’s an easy meal to prep and there’s really no limit to ingredients. Really fond of beech mushroom ms, tofu skins, bean sprouts, tofu puffs, and rice vermicelli. Lately I’ve also started poaching an egg for each of us in the broth, and that’s pretty great too. Pork belly and flounder have been the only things I didn’t really like in it, but ymmv.

Based on this post I am actually Flash Gordon Ramsay. Tofu skin totally my favorite thing, along with napa cabbage. The Ranch 99 I go to has these great little fuzhou fish balls that are stuffed with pork that we toss in sometimes as well.

Most asian grocers will have these presliced and frozen, and it's definitely worth getting that over trying to cut thin enough slices yourself (you won't be able to).

Just a trick if anyone is going to try to cut it themselves - freeze the meat first (or close to frozen), the stiffness makes it way easier to cut thinly.

Can someone who knows what they're talking about make an effortpost thread for pretty cakes? I'm starting to dabble and want to see baker goons talk shop and post pictures of their gorgeous decorated cakes. There is an ancient thread from like 2008 but most of the images were on waffleimages

I would love to contribute to a thread like this, but absolutely don't have time to make it.

I'm not the best cake decorator in the world, but I've gotten paid for it before. :v:

I'm in an area with lots of asians and the hot pot meat is generally thawed and in the meat case.

Can anyone give me recommendations for hot pot broth? Most places here do "house special spicy" broth. Is this just some sort of mix I should be looking for at 99 Ranch or what?

mystes

Yeah I don't think I've seen it frozen at markets.

You can buy Sichuan hotpot mix packets or you can just find recipes online (it's not hard or time consuming, but if you're already at an asian market I think they're like $1 so easier to just grab one probably). It's just dried peppers, spices, and stock basically though.

I buy the Angry Lady brand mix when I want spicy hot pot, then add extra garlic and stuff on top of it.

Yeah LGM hot pot mix is aces, way more of a distinct Sichuan peppercorn note than any of the other hot pot mixes I've tried. I use it more for making dry pot than hot pot but w/e.

I made the king arthur lemon meringue pie recipe on their website which uses a pie crust that's just made with vegetable oil. I knew the crust wasn't going to be good and -surprise- it wasn't good so now I'm complaining about it here because I guess that's my gimmick now.

Dunno about vegetable oil but I make most of my pie crusts with olive oil and I have people tell me my pies are the best they've ever eaten, so I'm not sure oil-based crusts are always something to be leery of.
