Today's NIKmuffin turned quite good - best in looks so far (not in taste because I didn't bother laying the bacon strips out evenly so that each bite would have included some bacon in it)

Is this still using a weird eggmaker?
nope.
2019-08-01, 6:17 AM #123
Oh yeah, it's the McMuffin (or NIKmuffin) maker.

Remind me why this Nikumubeki guy is supposed to hate `merica? I'd say the man would very much enjoy a bacon cheeseburger.

Looking at the mirror, I think I've enjoyed a bit too many of those.

Does your mirror somehow get fat when you eat too much?
Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.

Yes

Excellent.

Nice.

can you get english muffins in Finland, or would you have to make them yourself?
2019-08-02, 9:49 AM #132
Based on a quick look, you've got to come up with them yourself. Unless you want an actual McMuffin.

That's too bad. It's basically an overproofed high-hydration bread (>85%) so not quite the easiest things to make.

(if I had to guess, English muffins probably came from someone frying up sourdough discard for breakfast)

I'm still amazed that English muffins are called muffins in the first place.

Alas, I use weird burger(ish) buns for my egg-bacon-concoctions https://public.keskofiles.com/f/k-ruoka/product/6413467412608?w=400&h=250&auto=format&fm=jpg&fit=max&q=40&dpr=2

Most english food names have strange etymologies. Muffin once exclusively described flatbreads, now it means cupcake without frosting. Pudding once exclusively described kinds of sausage, now it describes starch-thickened sweet oozes. I think porridge comes from pottage, which once described viscous, slow-cooked, typically savory food sludge, but now basically means any kind of cooked breakfast cereal.

I'm a little worried about what stew and chili will mean some day. Especially considering some Americans put cinnamon, cocoa and sugar in their chilis.

I'm eating fried chicken and burgers from the local southern fried chicken and burger joint, and your European fat jokes will not stop me.

I can't help but feel that the legend of The Most Polite Massassian Era of FGR has seen an underground Massassi Discord revival or something.

Massassi discord is where we ****post about octonions and people who ****post about octonions.

On #massassi, I've taken to equating the Massassi Discord with pre-2017 #massassi (mainly the Holonet version) and these forums.

So in practice, if Kroko tries to get me to talk about some non-Nikumuboring topic, I'll say something like "what's this, the Massassi Discord?" or "Sure got https://forums.massassi.net/vb3/newreply.php?do=postreply in here" or "/server irc.holonet.org /join #massassi" and get back to talking about hangnails or itchy lower eyelids or something.

I think it's weird how much more common English muffins are in North America compared to the UK.

I genuinely had no idea what they were until I was in my mid twenties.
nope.

So tonight I'm at my parents house and I'm going to make carbonara with fresh handmade pasta. Except I make the pasta with a 3d printed drill bit that runs the pasta machine because im lazy. Anyone else like to make pasta? All purpose this time but I like whole wheat noodles.

I don’t like the whole wheat flavour in pasta, but I do make fresh pasta, but I don’t have a pasta laminator so I have to roll it and cut it by hand.

I too prefer AP pasta but noodles are easier to get down than whole wheat berries to fuel my rowing and other habits. TBH the machine doesn't produce drastically better results if you've got any amount of practice at it which it sounds like you do. Do you do noodles or sheets or cut it into crazy bits?

Usually something between fettuccini and pappardelle depending on how lazy I am, but I’ve also made more extra stuff like fusilli, farfalle, and cavatalli and have literally always regretted it about a quarter of the way through.

I intend to get an attachment for my stand mixer at some point, so I will probably make pasta more often after that.
2019-08-08, 3:44 PM #155
I've considered getting an attachment for my stand mixer too, but I'd prefer one of the extruders with the brass dies rather than the roller type.

Kenwood were actually doing an offer where you could claim a free attachment if you bought a mixer within a timeframe a while ago, but I found a still sealed mixer for sale on ebay for less than the cost of one from a shop less the attachment price so eh.
nope.

I need to find a stand mixer. Recently scored a gasketless pressure canner and one of the nice old food processors.

IDK, the unglazed version looks appealing to me right now. Reminds me of English muffins. I haven't had an English muffin in forever.
