A couple of milk making pictures + cake

August 20, 2007

There’s not much I can take of it, but here’s what I gots!

Beans and soy lecithin in the basket:

I’m going to try beans + LSA (linseed, sunflower, almond meal) this week, as I’m out of lecithin.

Don’t forget your filtered water:
water!
Mmm, water. I fill it up to the minimum level, so the milk is a little thicker/richer.

The machine blending and bubbling away:

That was hard work!… or not. Thanks, Mr Milk Machine.

Then I stir in a few extra things… oh noes, additives!

Eh, they aren’t so bad. :)

Vitamins to fortify the milk with:

B12 & a wee bit of calcium. I love my mortar and pestle. Smashing things in it is rather FUN.

Last week I attempted to make/invent a gluten-free mostly-organic double orange & coconut cake.

Cake in the oven

I looked fantastic in the oven, but it sunk when I got it out… sadmaking. Cooking it for longer on a lower temperature ought to fix the problem! It wasn’t fluffy, but it still tasted great, which is the main thing. :)

If you forget to add the tapioca starch, the bread comes out looking pretty normal… but it gets pretty damn crumbly when you slice it up…
