It's beet juice gelled with agar agar so that it's fairly solid. I just cut it out like that and then wrapped a carrot scarf around it and thew a golden beet over its head.
Last weekend I made Belgian Liege waffles. They were amazing, especially with ice cream on top. This weekend I made homemade spaghetti. Only boiled a small sample so far, going to make a big meal with it tonight. I think it will only be OK. Not knowing anything about pasta dough previously it was a learning experience. I totally fucked up my pasta roller with dough that was too moist at first. Then I had to go back and save the rest by remixing with more flour. I can see there is a feel to the proper consistency, and next time I will be able to do a lot better.
of course not! But I couldn't put much in, it's about 3oz in 3 cups total liquid volume. .5 cup simple syrup, 2.5 cups tonic, 3oz gin, 2 juiced limes and lime zest. It's mostly limey. Proof that the internet has everything, I was trying to think of something that would make an interesting and refreshing sorbet, came up with gin and tonic, and googled a recipe.
My basil plants have done pretty well, but they keep trying to set flower, which usually means that the plants are on their way out. I would like to harvest the leaves all at once and be done with them. What does the TNL braintrust say that I should do with them?
