Got my new bean cellar in today, a much more premium version of the previous six-station one I used. Features of this one:

  • metal, one way valve metal caps with silicone ring
  • much wider aperture to pour the beans in
  • 22g max capacity per tube
  • base is like, REALLY nice - walnut, finished well, grippy silicone feet
  • comes with a perfect little collapsible funnel
  • 12 tubes in total.

do you freeze your beans? Batch freezing and grinding straight from freezer?
These look like a set up for that.

@coffeegeek @coffee @espresso
I had looked into freezing based on reports that beans colder when grinding were more consistent - but not sure I had a good enough grinder even for that.

Chemical structure won't change (though idk maybe some isomerism - but no need to get that complicated). I suspect more of a lipid phase issue that may impact extraction. Maybe (akin to) freeze-fracture of lipid bilayer

A case of a researcher's thesis being plagiarized in a journal article. She needs a good #copyright lawyer. If you wrote it and someone else uses it, it's #plagiarism. You're still the creative author.
IMHO the fact the people who wrote the journal article just copied big chunks of her work show lazy work.
Sounds like the universities and the journal aren't taking this seriously enough.

"In response, the Nutrients editorial office said “It is considered that this is not plagiarism, because thesis materials are not classified as prior publications.” "

Wut?! A thesis is a publication! Dartmouth Health better start protecting their researchers' IP...

It's very disappointing that our millions of snarky, sophisticated comments haven't fixed all the problems yet.

Putting the okonomi in by using some Sapporo in the batter
(I like cooking with beer, sometimes I even add it to the food - WCF iirc)

Scallops, a prawn and a rasher of 🥓 per person and an egg/2. Made 2 of these so everyone gets half.
Been a while since I ed at home so not the best flipp and reflip - but a bit of sauce to glaze, aonori and katsuoboshi easily covers.
(Nearly out of the Kewpie so don't mind the abject squeeze failure)

A glorious brown mess with crisp bacon showing at an edge of a circular heaped pancake topped with fine and bigger flakes of katsuoboshi

I got into making okonomiyaki at home after partner and had it in Osaka on a trip in 2016. I've made it regularly enough that kids have grown up with it - and finally had it last year at the same spot*

Anyways, if you want to make okonomiyaki it's pretty easy - get some otafuku brand flour mix - tastes just like the stuff in Osaka (and I've tried grated nagaimo and all that, but don't bother). The sauce, well otafuku is ok but

For okonomiyaki sauce - otafuku is fine but once you taste you'll realize fairly easy to make your own: mostly ketchup, Worcestershire, soy (maybe a small bit of hot sauce for spice and touch of tartness). Hey it's okonomiyaki after all.

(Oh I do like to put the teeny dried 🦐 in with the batter, cabbage - skip the tenkasu tempura scraps).
Do what you like!

Enjoy!

This Ie Island is from the Single island series. It was the only one I could get - besides the all island blend bottle, in my too brief ¾ day in
Here's their webpage on this rum (translated)

Ok so I did make that
2 oz
1 oz fresh squeezed lime juice [wish I had shikuwasa]
¾ oz rich simple syrup

Oh dear f$expletive deleted me - in a well chilled coupe, took a sip and this is exquisite. Close my eyes and aware of the back of my neck calming.
Didn't expect that. 180⁰ from a more upfront sugary rum.

@Deus Nothing extravagant - the Ie Island Rum was 4400¥ (for 500 mL); same store (in Japan) had Old Monk for ~5500 (750 mL). But that's an import there.
The Cor Cor - can't remember but similar, in that range I think.
