✨Pine and citrus fermented soda experiment✨

#fermented food #fermented drinks #I think this could qualify as wild yeast water kefir #I’m calling it citrus because the peel came from a fruit #that was originally a mandarin tree #but a lemon tree was grafted onto it #and it’s been left alone for so long that it’s reverted to mandarin shape #but they still taste like a lemon #it’s an experience #anyway #I have high hopes for this experiment #the little flowers are #onionweed #aka #Asphodelus fistulosus #I picked them right by the sea and they’ve been blooming for a week #I love them #personal

It's strange how much, when I have time off (e.g. tomorrow is ANZAC Day and I've booked the Friday after as annual leave so I can have a four-day weekend), I feel like "ah, normal life for a bit," because work-day life never really feels like life.

Anyway, this weekend is my mother's 70th birthday and she's having a party (catered ladies' lunch) and she's sad because her sister is sick and can't come but on the other hand her best friend has flown over from Australia for it, and I will spend a chunk of tomorrow baking two large and sumptuous carrot cakes for the occasion.

The best carrot cake recipe I've ever found btw: Carrot Cake III from Allrecipes.com. I make it without the pecans, because my sister's allergic to nuts, and instead of plain cinnamon I use mixed spice (called pudding spice in the UK and pumpkin pie spice in the USA). Otherwise, I just follow the recipe and I really cannot over-emphasise how nice this cake is. My sister and mother request it for their birthday cakes pretty much every year.

It's so moist you can make it a couple of days in advance with no noticeable deterioration (provided you store it wrapped up or in an airtight container, of course). The original recipe is for a 9x13 rectangular pan but it works pretty perfectly if you divide the batter equally between two medium-size round cake pans and then layer the baked cakes with the cream cheese icing, which is my normal method. This time, however, I'm making the rectangular version for ease of cutting and serving to a lot of different people.

And it's easy. You don't actually need an electric mixer, if you have a whisk or an egg-beater and some gumption that's just as good. I speed things up by grating the carrots in a food processor - as well as being quicker, I find this results in tidier grated carrots that don't leak and slop their juice so much. In my experience, three medium-size carrots usually yield three cups of the grated stuff, and I would recommend using a grater or food processor disc with smaller holes - thinner strands of carrot give you a better-textured cake.

And as you may know if you know me, I like carrot cake to be a simple and honest CARROT cake, and this one is. There is no secret, sneaky fruit involved.* Carrot it says and carrot it is and carrot it ever shall be.

I once made this with heirloom purple carrots as an experiment. It looked simply disgusting and tasted exactly the same.

*I don't mind if you want a carrot and pineapple cake! I just think you should call it a carrot and pineapple cake. Stuff you if you put sultanas or raisins in it though.

#airy bakes #food #my favourite cakes are carrot and lemon #I'm iffy on chocolate cake #I have one chocolate cake recipe I really enjoy #so many chocolate cakes just don't ring my bell though #gosh how I dislike mud cake #the texture is just foul - so STICKY - and I know that's the POINT of it that's the SELLING POINT of a mud cake #anyway the triple chocolate cake at sallysbakingaddiction.com is really great #she's trying to rebrand as 'sally's baking recipes' now #which sounds absolutely bland and anyway her domain name still says ADDICTION just own it Sally #the buttermilk and the coffee are what make it special I think #you can't taste the coffee at all it just boosts the chocolate flavour tremendously #also like the carrot cake iii recipe it uses oil rather than butter for the fat component and I just like how easily that mixes #she has a carrot cake recipe that has a huge slug of applesauce in it #i'm skeptical

this is my new reaction image

#period came over a week early i hate everything </3 #i was wondering why i was in so much pain but didn't want to take painkillers without reason #ive had painkiller insensitivity before from accidental overconsumption and they still dont work great #nurofen lemon flavoured painkillers you taste like shit

Can't let anyone forget about my practically obscene love of mushrooms. I will post about it constantly.

#speculation nation #im a little freak actually so i hope my collection of new followers r fine with that #loving mushrooms is not freak material but the level that i love them kind of is #this isnt even getting into my other odd eating habits. of which i have many. #or my habit of sampling anything and everything at work so long as it's Technically edible #up to and including plain matcha concentrate and rose concentrate and vanilla paste #and hazelnut extract and vanilla extract and caramel extract and #ive eaten plain coffee beans before and in fact DELIGHT in taking the lemon ginger shots. just plain lemon juice mixed with ginger juice #ginger juice as in just juice from the ginger. not a ginger beer no just straight ginger concentrate. i love that shit. #let's see what are other things ive sampled at work...? #plain sugar syrups. always awful. hate sweet shit like that. i will still sample them tho if i get some on me #uhm. boba dough. which ive heard unprocessed tapioca is uh. toxic. but i think ours is processed? #i havent gotten poisoned from it yet! and handmade boba dough is actually pretty tasty #raw store bought boba is one of the worst tastes and textures ive ever experienced tho #which yes i have sampled that too. and spat it out bc i couldnt bring myself to swallow. awful awful awful. #it's kinda a running joke at my workplace that i will sample basically Anything #i cant help it 😭 the other day there was a lil bit of vanilla paste left over on the tablespoon #so i just went and dripped it into my mouth w/o thinking on my way to put the tablespoon in the dish area #& the employee just saw me physically cringe. drop the tablespoon at the sinks. then rush to the hand washing sink to rinse my mouth #& he was just like. 'did you just SAMPLE that????' #& i had to be like. '....yeah😭😭😭😭😭' #to b fair some months ago he saw me sample the rose extract. run to the sink to rinse my mouth #then 15 mins later. not learning my lesson. sample the vanilla extract. then run to the sink to rinse my mouth. #the vanilla extract was slightly nicer than the rose extract. bc at least it didnt make my tongue numb (like the rose did) #Flavor Shock. that shit's real man #anyways ramble post is rambles. i just dont want anyone to think im cool or anything lmfao

If your a music hater or make fun or anyone for liking xyz band becuase it's cringey or 'faded out' die 1000 deaths. Music is beautiful and we shouldn't be fighting over it

#saw somthing about tumblr bands and like. huh no shit the oddly specific demographic of tumblr would have weird music taste who cares #so what if i still like a few lemon demon songs. i could make fun of you for thinking your cool for lisitng to some shit underground band #just say you hate the idea of liking things others like and grow up. music is the shit no matter what song it is

If I were the last surviving member of a failed expedition in the arctic I wouldn't choose to keep living there. Like, one main factor of doom was that there weren't plants around and after all that suffering you choose to keep living without leaves in your life? without fruits? without apples and oranges and peaches and berries? without vegetables? No more eggplants or peppers or corn or onions? No man, when I hear Ross talking about his shot of lemon juice to fight scurvy I'll remember how good even a green salad tastes and pack my bag. Rip Francis Crozier but I need garlic in my life

#I might be biased as I've been vegetarian and then vegan for years but damn #I smelled an orange today and it felt like a dream #Imagine living the rest of your life w/o tasting fruits ir veggies ever again #marmelade #I get the guilt and the self imposed torture but never tasting strawberries again? #No that's too much #Did you guys ever had one of those mixed salads with oranges apples seeds tomatoes salad arugula carrots lemon juice pepper?? That's top 3 #🍉🍊🍋🍑🍎🍓🥝🍍🍆🍅🌶️🥒🥦🥗🍞🥐 #Like probably there are some eggs somewhere in the arctic but not very common #Even if we take in account only the plants available in the 1840s crozier is still missing common things like #Oranges! Baked potatoes! Tomatoes #If they brought a few plants with them they'd been alive now #Well not now

candied lemon tea update: I can tell why lance made this his entire personality

#although idk maybe I made this slightly different since it kinda just tastes like hot lemon water?? #it's still good though! #at least I have an easy tea i can make for when I start to feel yucky #next batch ill try the version that uses honey and see if that changes anything #nameless posting #nameless the one thing you must recall

There's a certain tragedy regarding the simplicity of lemonade and the frequency of people fucking it up.

#hyperbole but w/e #like making good lemonade isnt that hard to the point that having good lemonade isnt really an accomplishment #however the amount of bad lemonades out there in the world makes the lemon lover in me cry. #anyways: how to improve your lemonade. 1st taste along the way. 2nd instead of adding sugar directly to water instead make simple syrup #simple syrup is 1 part sugar to 1 part water. boiling the water speeds up the solution. #2:1 sugar:water makes it shelf stable if you want to use the syrup for cocktails #anyways after you dissolve the sugar and heat the water turn off the stove and put the zest from your lemons youre using in the syrup #this will steep and draw out the oils (which have a lot of lemon flavor). this lets you strengthen the taste of your lemonade w/o the sour #but still use the juice for the tartness because tart lemonades are great #in fact you can actually throw other stuff into the syrup to steep if theres a lot of flavor in the oil #i sometimes put chopped mint and green chilies. thats makes good lemonades #you can also do ginger; cardamom; anise; honestly any spice #just fucking treat the hot syrup like it was tea. hell put tea in the syrup #as long as you strain the solids out of the syrup you just use it in place of the sugar when combining it and the juice and water #How To Drink youtube channel has a vid all about making syrups; both conventional and not #you can also make more fruity syrups by throwing fruits in a pot like strawberries with a bit of water; heat it; and just smash the bastards #strain the solids once again; reduce and you have syrups that you can then add to your lemonade #add sugar too to your fruit syrups theres not enough natural sugars to make the quantity you want #if you keep these syrups in little bottles you can honestly mix and match for all kinds of drinks #like club soda + these syrups and this is just normal soda but with funky flavors #you want to drink a god damn black pepper soda you cam #i think this escaped me #the power of syrups is potent
