Text of the page (random words):
re yourself blogosphere for my wordy non expert communication of my very favorite ideas par for the course will be narrative about what i ve been up to for the past five six years protein structure and function 101 ranting against bad science education and probably many more disclaimers about what i m not sure of than i really need to put in my writing but at least it will be something and then at least once i am off at college and am doing nothing but studying the information will be right here ready to be read by you so that these favorite ideas don t have to stay heart breakingly locked up any longer so it is time for me to start writing this post wasn t that hard the next one couldn t be much worse posted in uncategorized 4 comments aromatic rings posted by susie on may 19 2008 last friday in my organic chemistry class there was a take home test about benzene chemistry due i for the first time in memory had finished the test a day early so instead of staying up all of thursday night in order to finish my test i made the decision that there was going to be a donut party in class the next day this is a food pun which i have been resisting since the end of gen chem and i simply could not hold back any longer so i whipped out my kitchen notebook reviewed some of the literature and began planning my synthesis i was going to make some aromatic rings don t you feel like you could go furan aromatic ring right about now method i based my donut dough on this recipe which was posted on vegan hedonism about a year ago i always use some variation of it whenever i feel like making donuts i left out the egg replacer and used all cold soymilk instead of the mixture of water and warm rice milk called for by the vegan hedonism folks the dough was mixed around 8 pm thursday fermented it in the refrigerator until 8 am friday then sectioned into 3 5 oz round balls of dough placed on a floured pan covered and returned to the fridge to rest proof when i got back from my tech writing class at 11 am i removed the pan from the fridge and let the dough warm up while i prepped my icings and started heating my oil when the oil was 375 fahrenheit and the dough was sufficiently spongy i stabbed each dough ball through its center and pulled it out into a nice donut shape into the hot oil they went two at a time they fry on one side for 90 seconds then get flipped with a skewer and then fry on other side for 90 seconds before lifting them out with the skewer onto some waiting paper towels i like to throw in the next two donuts at this point to get them started then glaze the first ones while i wait for it to be time to flip the new ones i glazed half of the donuts right out of the oil and left the other half to cool so i could dunk them in the thicker frostings i was in a bit of a hurry when i was frying and decorating these so i didn t record the weights of the glaze and icing ingredients i used i will have to make donuts again some day and document it as a tutorial for you all transition state discussion despite the horrible awesome mockery of my beloved food science there was some real live aromaticity going on in these donuts all of the icings contained your favorite and mine 3 hydroxy 4 methoxybenzaldehyde aka vanillin the major molecule responsible for the flavor of vanilla 3 hydroxy 4 methoxybenzaldehyde the pink icing was spiked with benzaldehyde which is what makes bitter almond extract taste like bitter almond extract benzaldehyde i ve always been more interested in using food science to affect the structure of bakery foods rather than the details of flavor chemistry but now that i m almost done with this school year of o chem flavor chemistry is starting to seem more interesting to me probably because i can understand parts of it now two years ago if i looked at these funny stick drawings i kind of spaced out now my mind fills with thoughts of resonance sterics functional groups and pka values i tentatively think this is kind of cool but i guess i will have to get back to you on that look shiny so all in all i think its safe to say this synthesis was a success the yield was 100 and the solvent was able to be filtered and reused so these are some pretty damn green donuts yknow and the best part is theres only 50 kilocalories 1 per 6 022 10 23 donuts and they are organic 2 1 about 50 kcal down to cyclohexene and really i do not feel like going and remembering how to calculate the rest of the c c and c h bdes so lets just say 50 kilocalories because i m sleepy i had a physics test this morning and have already done all the thermodynamics i feel like doing thankyouverymuch 2 sorry that wipes out my pun quota for at least a month right posted in uncategorized tagged food science aromatic rings blog posts of pure joy donuts food that looks like other food organic chemistry science vegan 14 comments the deal with the egg replacer thing posted by susie on april 14 2008 so i ve been swinging a lot of hints and promises around for the past three weeks and i figure that i should just tell everyone what the deal is at the beginning of spring break three weeks ago i had come to the decision that i would put an end to making everyone wait and wait for the mystery egg replacer that i ve been talking about forever and ever i resolved to write up a summary of all the things i ve tried what my logic was for trying them why the egg replacer is not perfect yet and my thoughts on possible solutions to the persistent problems i felt guilty for not being able to put as much time into the project as i would have liked while i was doing other things in school and everyone else was waiting on me so i thought it would be best if i created a summary of the past five years of work on this egg replacer so that anyone who was interested would be free to mess around with trying to solve the problems that i was too busy to solve so i put some time into figuring out the best format for presenting all the information i ve accumulated the things i ve tried and the thought process that led me to this current obsession that took about a week but i finally decided on a format i was satisfied with then i started to outline and to organize my information and to trace my process of developing this egg replacer over the past five years i found all the really badly taken notes on experiments i conducted years ago when i had no concept of experimental design significant digits or of good scientific note taking practices the fact that i did these experiments anyway and even took notes on them was a bit nostalgia inducing then after three ish years of making outlines intending to write something on this subject i actually started writing however by the time i started making sentences the outline that i had made myself for this document had become much more than a short summary i was not writing at the speed i had imagined i would write at either after writing researching thinking only of this document for about a week and a half straight by the last friday of spring break i had to face the fact that i was not going to finish this short summary by the time spring break was over spring quarter started a week ago today and i have been working on this when i get the chance but i still am not even halfway done with a rough draft i don t know when i might finish this project as i m taking 16 credits again and i feel like its only a matter of time before i have no free time left also in addition to writing this summary of my past research i m also still testing and acquiring new ideas of how i might be able to make the necessary transition from super promising egg replacer with a few kinks to work out to hey this stuff is easy to prepare non industrially and it works just like egg in everything so please accept my apologies for underestimating the amount of time it would take to write a summary of my egg replacer project i realized a while ago that there is no reason to be secretive about this anymore the only thing in my way is the difficulty i m having with distilling five years of experimentation conclusions and unanswered questions into an effective communication i mean i could post a recipe that everyone would try only to be disappointed by a lengthy process that gives mediocre results and that doesn t say why despite its imperfections that it represents a whole lot of potential as an egg replacer if the imperfections can be overcome and what those imperfections are and what doesn t work to solve the problems that persist and what might work if only we had the time or resources that is why i m taking so long typing this thing and why i ve not just said so please by all means if anyone out there just read through this ramble and has any sort of opinion i would love to hear what it is and i will keep you posted about the status of the document i am working on rest assured that i am hellbent on getting this project to you all and that given enough time i will susie posted in uncategorized tagged egg replacer vegan meringue writing 14 comments spring break i ll show you my brioche à têtes posted by susie on april 5 2008 i made some orange dark chocolate brioches the other day this time i used measuring cups to weigh out my ingredients so i have a volume unit recipe for you all enjoy the chocolate orange flavor combination was suggested by the recipe that came with my pretty new brioche pans i didn t bother veganizing that recipe but instead i just added chocolate and orange to the added gluten brioche formula i developed in january the orange zest and bittersweet chocolate chunks made for the most outrageous yeast dough i have ever been in the presence of normally yeasted bread doughs are not known as being irresistable but this dough was orange chocolate brioche à têtes made four short brioches i think if i had made two maybe three bigger ones they would have been better starter mix together the following ingredients in a stand mixer with a spoon until uniform allow starter to ferment for 20 30 minutes 3 tbs bread flour 1 5 tsp dry yeast 1 4 cup 1 tsp room tempurature unsweetened soymilk dough after starter is done fermenting place a dough hook or paddle attachment on the stand mixer add the water and lecithin to the mixer and mix to break up starter thoroughly add flour gluten orange zest and sugar to mixing bowl and mix on the lowest speed until all the flour is moist continue mixing and begin adding the earth balance brand buttery sticks to the mixer waiting until each addition is fully incorporated into the dough before adding more take your time adding the fat going too fast will result in an incoherent dough note there is no salt in this recipe on purpose the high amount of salted margarine provides all the saltiness that is needed starter from above 1 4 cup 3 tsp water 1 drop liquid soy lecithin a pinch of lecithin granules would work 1 5 cups bread flour thats the scoop and shake method for those who might otherwise do it right 4 tsps vital wheat gluten 4 tsps sugar zest from one large washed orange 1 5 sticks earth balance buttery sticks chocolate add the chopped chocolate to the dough and mix thoroughly 1 4 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate i chopped 1 2 of a large lindt bar in a blender but you could use a knife or a food processor or prepackaged chocolate chips but i really liked the variety of size of chocolate chunk i got from using the blender some powder to make the whole dough chocolate y tasting and some big chunks to be melty gooey and wonderful fermentation remove the dough hook from the mixer cover the mixer bowl with something airtight and let the dough sit for 3 4 hours at room tempurature form the brioche devide the dough into pieces of the desired size and place them into the pans you wish to bake them in for traditional brioche à têtes place a small ball of dough on top of a larger ball anchor the small piece by rolling it out a little to give it a tail make an indentation in the large piece with your thumb and connect the two pieces you can also form brioche as loaves and use a plain bread pan or you can use muffin pans as long as you give this fragile dough something to hold itself up with i wouldn t recommend hearth brioche except maybe if you are making a ring type thing the possibilities are only limited by your creativity keep in mind the dough will almost double but filling your pan to near the top will only result in impressive high rising brioche i should have made mine bigger chill and proof the shaped brioche cover the shaped brioche with something air tight put it outside in the cold or in the refridgerator for 2 3 hours larger brioche will need more time bake the brioche preheat the oven to 350 f for smaller brioche and 325 f for larger brioche take the brioche out of the cold and let it set at room tempurature for a while half hour ish less if you re in a hurry more if it doesn t seem to be that poofy no time at all if it is overproofed prepare a xantham gum egg wash with a teensy weensy pinch of xantham in soy milk or soy creamer leave out the xantham if you don t have it and wash the surface of the brioche right before placing them in the oven take the brioche out of the oven when they have a golden brown color on the outside my 4 6 oz mini brioche à têtes took 50 minutes to reach the perfect crust color yours will take about that long if they are a similar size less time if they are smaller and more time if they are larger if in doubt if its not burning five minutes longer won t hurt it posted in uncategorized tagged brioche chocolate orange recipes vegan 7 comments slacker posted by susie on february 14 2008 that would be me of course as you all were way too aware i m sure well as a weak try at an excuse i suppose the reason i ve not been posting more of my baking baking science blog posts is that i ve been doing waaaaay too much science and really no noteworthy baking when i do find the time to throw any flour stuff in the oven its only purpose is to provide me with something nutritive i can wrap in tin foil and eat at school during my super long days where the only thing i have available to eat is soy lattes nasty vegan nutrition bars they sell at the same place as the lattes and whatever i have the foresight to bring with me even then its usually two apples that i stuff in my backpack one for each apple sized side pocket and not fancy schmancy baked goods so yeah school is good though o chem ii biology biochem genetics development and physics w calculus i all with their respective labs i mean so far so good i haven t gone too insane but on the other hand i didn t sleep last thursday night this one take home test nmr puzzle thing problem was being a pain in the butt and took me something like 10 hours to finally get an answer to sheesh of course its not just all been homework i ve been occupied with with the example of some
