It's never the same. It's way too hard. frozen yoghurt is supposed to be like ice cream.

[Anonymous No.7090779]

You should stir that every half hour so that there's less frost crystals OP. It will be much smoother.

Yeah. This brand (Zoi) isn't as bad as some other ones. Oikos often freezes into a solid block which I have to chip at for a while with a spoon. I usually end up dislodging it from the case and biting into it like a yogurt ice block.

Out of Jelly or Jam. I was caught in a snag. Really wanted a PB & J and was all out. Thankfully I had in my fridge some cups of sugar free Jell-O, in my cabinets xanthan gum, and Splenda! It's amazing the ideas and ways of combining separate things just to create the one thing you are most desperate for. Anyways , desperation jelly isn't an exact science. I measured based on the consistency of the end product, but the typical sugar free jello cup should get no more than 2 packets of Splenda. Xanthan Gum is a tricky beast! Add by the half a teaspoon and give it a HARD MIX or else YOU WILL get unappealing whites chunks of xanthan in the finished product. I also add a splash of water. It is hard to get the consistency just right. I've done this in the past and resulted in what looked like a slimy spinach porridge. But when done right, it can be good enough to stick in a PB & J.

Season your pasta water with Knorr Stock Pots™. People ask me why I don't use salt in my water. Knorr Stock Pots™ make your pasta taste better. You should try it.

Putting crushed red pepper flakes in a pepper grinder will give you a bit spicier end result, and a finer grind.
Great for pizza.

[Anonymous No.7094352]

Like using fried herbs for garnish, but hate trying to keep them from folding over while frying?
Use your microwave.

Cover a plate tightly with plastic wrap (to create flat surface), dip herb leaves in oil, then lay flat on plastic. Microwave for 5-10 minutes.
Sometimes you'll have to poke tiny holes in the plastic if it starts to dome.

Growing fresh herbs from seeds? Not enough sunlight to get the seedlings started? Put them in the fridge because the light in your fridge never turns off so your seedlings will get plenty light and they'll grow faster! Plus your fridge will smell nice.

What if someone makes a tumbler or something like that, that they use for slurpies, but it's designed for home use, so you flip this thing on and put it in the freezer for a bit and when you come back your frozen yogurt has been kept in motion the whole time and is nice and creamy (probably not as nice as the store, but similar?)

The entire point of measuring spices with tea spoons, is so when you make something similar, you have a good grasp of how much was used to create flavor.

While this is true, you're better off eating the young leaves in the spring before the flowers appear. Older ones are tough and bitter. Also, do not pick edible plants from roadsides or other areas that may have been sprayed with pesticides.

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!
