New York-Style Bagels

The New York-style bagel is truly iconic. When I lived in NYC I couldn’t get through a week without a few of these! When I moved out of the city, bagels were among the things I missed the most. Luckily, they are super simple to make at home.

Bagels were brought to NYC by Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants from Poland in the 1800s. Overtime, they became a widespread local staple, and they’re still a popular mainstay to this day. New York-style bagels are distinctive because they are boiled before baking. This is how the famous chewy texture is achieved.

I’ve included a recipe for “everything seasoning,” but these bagels are also great plain. As far as fillings, these bagels are perfect with just cream cheese and chives or with the addition of smoked salmon, capers, pickled onions, and dill. 

Ingredients:

Bagel dough:

 297 grams/320ml water 90F/32C

10 grams dry yeast 

23 grams white granulated sugar 

500 grams bread flour / Manitoba

6 grams/1 1/2 tsp salt 

1tbsp baking soda/malt syrup (optional)

Egg wash:

1 egg

1tsp cream/milk

Everything seasoning:

Makes 3/4 of a cup - so there’s some leftover!

2 Tbsp + 2 tsp white toasted sesame seeds

2tbsp black toasted sesame seeds

4 tsp Maldon sea salt flakes

2 tsp poppy seeds

2 tbsp dried minced onion

2 tbsp dried minced garlic 

Method

Whisk in the yeast and sugar to the warm water, and let it rest for about 10 minutes or until frothy. 

In a large bowl, whisk bread flour and salt together. Add in the yeast mixture and stir until the dough is shaggy. Once everything is well-combined, turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for about 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth and pliable. You can also do this in a mixer with the dough hook. 

Put the dough into a lightly-oiled bowl. Cover with a damp towel and place in a warm place away from drafts (I use the oven with the light turned on), Let it ferment for about an hour or until doubled in size. 

Then, punch down the dough to deflate it and turn it out onto your bench. 

Before you move on to the next step, put on a pot of water to boil and pre-heat your oven to 218C/425F. You can add baking soda or malt syrup to your water, but this is optional. 

With a bench scraper, split the dough into eight pieces that are roughly the same size. I cut it in half, then quarters, then eighths. Pinch each piece to create a seam and then place it on an un-floured work surface (seam side down) and move your hand in a circular motion to tighten it into a ball. 

 Place the dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper or a silicone mat. Cover with a damp towel and let them rest for 10 minutes. 

When your water is boiling, pick up a ball with a floured hand and poke a finger straight through the middle. With two fingers in the hole, slowly turn the bagel to widen it. Then carefully drop the bagel into the water and boil for 1 minute on each side. Drain well and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. 

When all the bagels have been boiled, whisk the egg and the cream together and brush the bagels with the egg wash, covering the surface well. 

Sprinkle a generous amount of everything seasoning on top of the bagels. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bagels are golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Enjoy with your favourite toppings!

Hey Inka, I hope you're having a lovely day! For the soft asks: 4, 13, 23

4. What flower would you like to be given?

Hmmmmmmm………. I quite like wild flowers, mostly poppies, I like that they’re fragile but also very bright Ann strong in their colour

Although one day a woman gave me a red rose in a restaurant in Edinburgh and to this day I still feel emotional about it, so I’m not picky about which flower people give me

13. What’s your comfort food?

Okay, I think that might just be super boring, but I love white rice with sesame oil, soy sauce and grilled sesame seeds sprinkled on it, and then whatever vegetable + scrambled eggs. But really it’s the rice that I love, the sauces make it so cosy, you know?

23. Favourite piece of clothing?

Welp. I’ve never given that much thought. I guess my long coat might be my fave. It’s a wool coat with square shoulders and a slender sort of cut, very elegant. I wear it every day when it’s cold

Chili Crisp Chicken Tacos with Spicy Mango Salsa 🌮🌮

➡️ Ingredients:

For The Tacos:

1 pound ground chicken 🐔 1 tablespoon olive oil 🫒 1/4 cup butter 🧈 4 cloves garlic, minced 🧄 1 teaspoon chili flakes 🌶️ 2 tablespoons sesame seeds 🌾 1/3 cup curry paste 🍛 1/3 cup soy sauce 🍶 1/3 cup pickled ginger 🌿 12 hard shell tacos 🌮 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese 🧀

For The Mango Salsa:

1 mango 🥭 1 jalapeño pepper 🌶️ 1/2 cup fresh cilantro 🌿 1/4 cup fresh basil 🌿 2 onion, chopped 🧅 1/4 cup lime juice 🍋

For The Avocado Crema:

1 avocado 🥑 1/4 cup cilantro 🌿 2 teaspoons honey 🍯

➡️ Directions:

1️⃣ Make the Chili Crisp: Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and chili flakes. As the butter turns golden, the garlic will start to crisp up. This is the magic! Just watch it so the garlic doesn’t burn. Once it’s perfect, add the sesame seeds, remove them from the heat, and pour them into a heat-proof bowl.

2️⃣ Cook the Chicken: Now it’s time to cook the chicken. Heat olive oil in a pan and add the chicken. As it cooks, break it up into small pieces. After 5 minutes or so, when the chicken is browned, add the curry paste, tamari sauce, and 1/3 cup of water. Then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the sauce coats the chicken—about 5 minutes. Then add in the pickled ginger and a splash of its liquid and let it cook until the ginger caramelizes—about 2 minutes. Finally, add 2-3 tablespoons of chili crisp. Trust me, this is the magic.

3️⃣ Assemble the Tacos: While the chicken is simmering, preheat the oven to 425°F. Line up the taco shells on a baking sheet and bake for 5 around minutes to get them crispy. Then, divide the chicken mixture among the taco shells, top it with cheese, and bake it for 10 minutes. This melts the cheese into gooey goodness and gives the tacos a crunch.

4️⃣Make the Mango Salsa: While the tacos are getting all cheesy and crispy in the oven, make the mango salsa. It’s easy, just combine all the salsa ingredients (sweet mango, spicy pepper, fresh herbs, and tangy lime juice) in a medium bowl. This is going to be amazing on top of your tacos.

5️⃣ Make the Avocado Crema: For the final touch, make the avocado crema. Blend the avocado, cilantro, and honey in a blender or food processor until smooth. Add a pinch of salt, and it’s done. This crema adds a rich, creamy layer that balances out the spice and crunch of the tacos.

6️⃣ Serve: Now top with a spoonful of mango salsa and a dollop of avocado crema. Serve and enjoy the flavor bomb! There’s nothing like that first bite.

i need to roast something to make myself laugh. and when i say “roast”-

yeah.

i found this list. “50 signs you’re a good cook” because i like to torment myself and twist the knife into my own pain.

parentheses are my responses.

1. Can rustle up anything from scratch (yeah, i mean, growing up poor, i don’t think “save our souls” when i see “s.o.s.”)

2. Loving to eat as well as cook (so much for the 100 pound weight loss, i can’t be trusted, i guess…. … don’t get it? look up the phrase “never trust a skinny chef”)

5. Always being able to whip something up when there's virtually nothing in the cupboard (fried bread, bitches!)

6. When making a roast dinner everything finishes cooking at the same time (yeah, probably because i roasted the carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms with it, how else would it finish simultaneously?)

21. Doesn't need Oxo to make gravy (who’s out here using oxo for gravy? it’s butter, flour, stock, water, and maybe some green onions. full disclosure: i actually didn’t know what oxo was so i saw this and went “oh okay”)

22. Will offer for extra people to stay to dinner at a moment's notice (never happened to me before, and frankly, the way i get comments in the hellofresh group and the bread making group on facebook, i don’t think this’ll happen, either)

24. Knows exactly how long to cook a perfectly poached egg (without looking it up… 5 minutes?)

25. Knows how to peel fruit and veggies most efficiently (i’ve been peeling potatoes and carrots since i was 6, it’s more second nature to me than geography)

31. Know when a cake is done without having to stick a cocktail stick in it a hundred times (once is enough, dumbass)

32. Knowing measurements without having to actually measure (bro, it took paul hollywood 25 years to do this, sit down)

33. Owns good quality cook-ware (our poor pots and pans… my stepbrother’s girlfriend abused the fuck out of our utensils when they were living here. i’d love to have some new shit as i’m sure anyone with half a brain would).

34. Writes a detailed list for the food shop (YES I’D LIKE APPROXIMATELY FIVE GRAMS OF EXTRA FINE SALT FROM THE BELLEND OF A MONGOLIAN WILDEBEEST)

35. Knowing which wine to pair with certain meat or fish (buckle up, earthlings, we’s cooking with grape squeezins!!)

42. Can always add in just the right (…what? it just said “the right”, it didn’t say anything else after that 😂)

43. Knowing what 'Bain Marie' is and having the perfect pans for it (*sigh* just use a big bowl over a saucepan with about an inch of water over high heat, you’ll be fine)

44. Knowing the correct pronunciation of unusual or exotic foods (i don’t know… i don’t know if i can pronounce “horse rib and rectum sausage” very well—yes, that is a thing, i shit you the fuck not)

45. Knowing which wine to drink with meat (hey, don’t assume that because i live a couple hours away from paso robles that a sober country bumpkin like me knows absolutely bubkes about wine)

46. Can flip a pancake perfectly (what, tossing a pancake in the air with the skillet instead of a spatula like a peasant?)

47. Knows how to prepare celeriac (you mean celery root? what’s with everyone and celery root lately? i mean, it’s okay, it’s pretty good, but y’all need to stop with making certain foods fads and then doing them to death à la pistachio or almond)

48. Mum goes round for Sunday dinner rather than the other way round (she doesn’t really have a choice, so-)

49. Always read food magazines (because racing magazines are full of drama, music magazines can’t all have alex skolnick or joey belladonna, and science magazines are full of ads)

50. Owns set of fancy knives (they’re colorful, and my favorite is the blue one, does that count?)

Health benefits of Kalonji seeds

This article is originally published on Freedom from Diabetes website, available here. Seeds are a powerhouse of nutrients and we all know the importance of seeds in our diet.

A cold press oil machine, also known as an oil expeller or oil press, is a mechanical device used to extract oil from various seeds or nuts. Unlike traditional methods involving high heat or chemicals, cold pressing uses a hydraulic press or a mechanical screw to apply pressure without generating additional heat. This process helps to maintain the natural taste, nutrition, and quality of the oil.

Here is a basic overview of how a cold press oil machine works:

1. Feeding: The seed or nut is fed to the hopper of the machine.

2. Pressing Mechanism: There are different types of cold press machines, but the most common ones use hydraulic presses or mechanical screws to press the seeds.

Hydraulic Press: This type uses a hydraulic cylinder to apply pressure to the seed. The seeds are placed in a container, and hydraulic pressure is applied to crush them.

Mechanical screw: This type employs a screw mechanism that rotates to crush and compress the seeds, expelling the oil.

3. Oil Extraction: As soon as the seeds are crushed, the oil is extracted. It flows from the machine's press cage or vessel, leaving a residue (known as cake).

4. Separation: Oil and residue are separated. The oil is usually collected in a container, while the residue can be used for other purposes such as animal feed or further processing.

Cold press oil machines are often used to extract oil from sunflower, soybean, sesame, rapeseed, and more. They are popular in small-scale or artisanal oil production because they preserve the natural qualities of the oil.

Since cold pressing is considered a gentler extraction method than heat-based methods, it may not be suitable for all types of seeds or nuts. Some seeds may require specific processing techniques to effectively extract the oil.

If you are considering using a cold press oil machine, it is important to research the specific model you are interested in and follow the manufacturer's instructions for the best results.

Shani Trayodashi in 2023: Manifest Your Desires with Zodiac-Specific Charitable Acts

Shani Trayodashi Vrat, also known as Saturday Trayodashi, is observed when the Trayodashi Tithi aligns with a Saturday. On this auspicious day, devotees pay reverence to Shani Dev, the deity associated with the planet Saturn. It is believed that fasting on Shani Trayodashi can alleviate sorrow and troubles in one's life. According to the Panchang, when Shani Vrat coincides with Trayodashi Tithi, it positively influences the reduction of challenges linked to Saturn.

During the Shukla Paksha (the waxing phase of the moon) in the month of Ashadh, devotees perform Shani Trayodashi Puja and observe a fast. Additionally, Lord Shiva is worshipped with great devotion on this day. The combined rituals of Shani Trayodashi Puja and fasting are believed to bring blessings and divine protection.

By participating in the Shani Trayodashi Vrat, devotees seek relief from the difficulties caused by Saturn and aspire for spiritual elevation. It is a time to strengthen faith, offer prayers, and embrace positive energies that can bring solace and happiness into their lives.

On the propitious occasion of Shani Trayodashi, engaging in charitable acts specific to your zodiac sign can yield favorable results. Let us explore the recommended donations for each sign:

Aries (March 21 - April 19): Perform a water abhishek (ritual bathing) of Lord Shiva and light a lamp to seek blessings from Shani Dev.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20): Donate sesame seeds on Shani Trayodashi to receive special blessings from Shani Dev.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20): Donate black sesame seeds to please Lord Shani on Shani Trayodashi.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22): Perform a water anointing of Lord Shiva and donate oil on Shani Trayodashi.

Leo (July 23 - August 22): Perform an Abhishek on Lord Shiva with Panchamrit (a mixture of milk, curd, honey, ghee, and sugar), which helps alleviate any defects in your horoscope.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22): Donate green items on Shani Trayodashi and tie raw yarn to Lord Shiva.

Libra (September 23 - October 22): Donate black-colored clothes and mustard or sesame oil on Shani Trayodashi.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21): Light a lamp of mustard oil under the Peepal tree on Shani Trayodashi.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21): Worship Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva and donate food to the poor in the evening on Shani Trayodashi.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19): Donate black sesame seeds to receive auspicious blessings from Shani Dev on Shani Trayodashi.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18): Donate mustard oil after seeing your shadow on Shani Trayodashi.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20): Donate black clothes and feed the poor on Shani Trayodashi.

By adhering to these recommended donations based on your zodiac sign, you can seek the auspicious blessings of Shani Dev on Shani Trayodashi. To gain insight into these guidelines and make informed decisions for your life, it is advisable to consult astrologers in order to choose the best path before it is too late.

Gary Null’s Show Notes 03 21 23 P

If you listen to Gary’s show, you know that he begins with the latest findings in natural approaches to health and nutrition. Starting this week, we will make some of those findings available each weekday to subscribers to the Gary Null Newsletter.

Multiple sclerosis: High doses of omega-3 reduce symptoms in animal study

Providence Saint John’s Health Center (US), February 20, 2023

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic condition in which the immune system attacks the fatty layer that’s known as the myelin sheath surrounding nerves. This, in turn, reduces the ability of nerves to carry signals. 

Some studies show that diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids are linked to lower MS rates and have beneficial anti-inflammatory and neurological health properties.

Recently, researchers investigated how omega-3 fatty acid consumption reduces inflammatory responses in mice. 

They found that docosahexaenoyl ethanolamide (DHEA), a lipid compound derived from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) found in fish oil, may reduce immune T cell responses and thus reduce MS-related inflammation. 

“DHEA has been shown to have immune-regulating properties, and at certain concentrations, be able to significantly suppress the production of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), a cytokine that plays a pivotal role in chronic inflammation associated with autoimmune disease, including MS. This study found that DHEA might also inhibit T-cell responses- another important precursor to MS.”

The researchers found that DHEA levels are at their highest concentration in mice when in remission from MS, indicating that DHEA may dampen inflammation linked to the condition. 

From further experiments, they found that mice who were treated with DHEA had fewer inflammatory markers than controls. 

The results, noted the researchers, indicate that DHEA likely reduces inflammation and, thus MS symptoms by reducing number of pathogenic T cells in the nervous system. 

They further noted that treatment with DHEA did not affect the immune response of healthy mice. They wrote that this suggests DHEA influences the immune response outside of the brain in mice with MS, and not in healthy mice.

The researchers concluded that DHEA may reduce the severity of MS and thus may be added to diets to complement existing treatments for the condition. 

Tahini Shown to Promote Heart Health Significantly

Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences (Iran),  February 20, 2023

Tahini, a paste made of sesame seeds, is a staple in many Middle Eastern cuisines. Raw and unprocessed tahini, without any additional oils or additives, could be a superior food-medicine for preventing heart disease and the risk factors associated with it.

A study from the Archives of Iranian Medicine reveals tahini as a possible substitution for risky drugs like statins, drugs prescribed for heart health and known to come with potentially dangerous side effects.

The study looked at the effects of tahini in type 2 diabetics—people who are known to be at a greater risk of cardiac mortality due to higher than normal blood lipids, high blood sugar, and insulin resistance.

A group of 41 patients was divided into two groups. Group A was given two tablespoons (28 grams) of tahini with their breakfast every day for six months. Group B functioned as the control group and didn’t receive tahini at all. Aside from that, the number of calories in their breakfast and throughout the day were kept similar. The groups were tested at the beginning and at six weeks for various cardiovascular risk factors including: blood pressure, triglycerides, and total cholesterol levels. After only six weeks, significant changes were noted:

“After six weeks, there were significant decreases in serum TG (15.3 mg/dL) and AIP (39 %) in group A. Moreover, slight decreases in serum TC, LDL-C, and other atherogenic lipid parameters and a mild increase in HDL-C also were observed during Ardeh supplementation. Anthropometric measures and blood pressure were unchanged during the study period in both groups.”

A 39% decrease in atherogenic index of plasma is significant, particularly since the only thing that changed in group A was the addition of tahini. The tahini used was “raw” or not combined with any oil or added ingredients—it was pure, ground sesame seeds.

This is far from the first study to implicate sesame seeds in positive health changes. Sesame seeds are comparable to NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) in the treatment of knee arthritis—able to reduce pain significantly without any side effects. 

Excessive screen time linked to suicidal behaviors in US preteens

University of Toronto, February 27, 2023

Amidst the worsening teen mental health crisis and new legislation proposing to ban children under 16 from using social media, a new study finds that greater screen time among children 9-11 is associated with a higher risk of developing suicidal behaviors two years later.

The study, published in Preventive Medicine, finds that each additional hour of screen timeis associated with a 9% higher risk of reporting suicidal behavior two years later. In particular, each extra hour spent watching videos, playing video games, texting, and video chatting led to a higher risk of suicidal behavior.

"Screen usage could lead to social isolation, cyberbullying, and sleep disruption, which could worsen mental health," said senior author Jason Nagata, MD, assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco. "More time on screens often displaces time for in person socializing, physical activity, and sleep."

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among adolescents. The study collected screen time data for 11,633 children 9-11 years who were followed for two years. The children answered questions about their time spent on six different screen time modalities as well as suicidal behaviors.

"Screen time can have important benefits such as education and socialization, but parents should try to mitigate adverse mental health risks from excessive screen time. Parents should regularly talk to their children about screen usage and role model screen behaviors," said Nagata.
