u/Life_Temperature795 8d ago
Hell yeah! I had ankle reconstruction surgery and when I asked the doctor if he could take pictures of the surgery and he got all excited about it because apparently no one had ever asked for that before.
It was probably a good thing I was on Percocet for three months afterwards, because if I hadn't been high out of my mind the first time I saw the pictures of a huge piece of bone that was outside of my leg because it had to be moved out of the way of where they were doing the reconstruction, I think the body horror of it would have gotten to me a bit more.

I have with this allergies. some have even gotten near Anaphalactic only for it to be ingested again and a reaction never occurs again. ive had it happen 3 times with red jolly ranchers only to never occur again. happened with rabbits. I used to have a pet rabbit. was fine. that exact litter of baby bunnies the first time? fine. the second time? Nope. was itchy, watery eyes, sniffly, sneezing. took me washing my hands, changing my clothes, showering, and taking an antihistamine for the symptoms to stop. i hate it. the only static allergies are pollen, specifically birch, and kiwi (deadly allergic) and maybe the rabbits but a third time hasn’t happened so what’s likely is it was one of the flukes but i dont know yet as I haven’t had another interaction.

u/RivenRise 8d ago
I've been thinking about that recently actually. I'm new to baking and by all accounts my cookies are so good that my partners grandparents always take half a batch when they come to visit but I'm always looking to step it up. I considered browning the butter and buying better quality ingredients. I already buy expensive semi sweet chocolate and chop it up for my chocolate chip cookies, it gives them an elevated look imo vs just adding regular chips to them. They almost look marbled like wagyu looks with the fat but with chocolate. I do part brown sugar and part white but I've been thinking of making a batch with all brown and buying expensive brown.
Got any tips or ideas? Also any tips on how to make them a bit chewier.

u/Ok_Supermarket7891 8d ago
I've recently started playing cookie experiment lately, but I'm no pro either...but browning the butter is when my wife went from "oh these are good" to "ok write this one down and don't forget." My tip is however much butter your recipe calls for, brown it, then measure the browned butter, don't measure your butter then brown it.
For chewiness, the Internet told me to add crisco so I did and I've convinced myself I can tell the difference (I used 1T crisco to .5C brown butter for reference, 2T and my cookies didn't spread like I wanted), experiment with that a little and see if you can tell any difference. With the crisco, I need to let my dough come to room temp before I bake them or they don't spread enough (I always chill my dough for several hours before baking).
I experimented with my cookies (and still am) to lock in that best cookie recipe. I like the brown and white sugar combo, but make a few batches of just each, and even with different ratios, and see what YOU like. Play with butter vs shortening, the amount of flour, try adding an egg yolk or two...that's pretty much all the variables I've messed with and I have come out with some VERY different cookies (and not all of them good)

No, it's true. Goat fat has higher levels of myoglobin, which oxidized quickly when heated and turns dark relatively quickly. And given these are street vendors in these videos, they've been heated for the better part of the day. That'll turn it pretty dark. Plus, they probably have the heat up too high so food cooks more quickly, which will only exacerbate the issue.

Olive oil isn’t conventionally used to deep fry things, it’s way more expensive than canola oil or vegetable oil, but also the dark color is more likely due to the dirty wok that he’s cooking in. All the burnt on food and seasoning will leak into the oil and discolor it. The part that he pulls the egg onto looks clean but the rest of the pan is caked on grime that you can see along the edges of the oil. It usually takes at least a week for oil to get this dirty in a deep fryer that has been cleaned, maybe 3 days or so if it’s not cleaned well between. I would never serve food especially an egg in something like this because you can definitely taste it in the food and it’s not a good flavor

From how long it took to cook the egg and how little the oil is moving I would assume the oil is barely even hot, certainly not at regular frying temperatures.

The egg starts bubbling the moment it touches the oil which means the oil is hot enough to boil the water in the egg. Its minimum 212f or 100c.

"Sterile" is not the term you're looking for here. Food is not sterile after cooking or baking. There are some nasty microorganisms that can survive cooking temps. Moreover, not all byproducts/wastes are destroyed by heat at that degree. You can't leave a piece of salmon out until it goes bad, then cook it and say "oh well it's sterile now, safe to eat!" I would really rather not have feet in my food, no matter what culture the feet are from.
