Oat Cakes



So these oat cakes are a little less "chunky" than other recipes, but still have a bit of soft tiny pebble texture in them when they are done. If you prefer even less pebble texture, you can try to grind the oats into a dry powder before starting. You may need to increase the amount of oats of you do that, I'd start with another 20g.

Ingredients:
  • 80g rolled oats
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder (about 0.5g)
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon (about 0.5g)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 60ml unsweetened applesauce ( or a 4oz by weight container)
  • 30ml milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 15ml lemon juice (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 15 ml melted honey (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 egg
  • oil for frying

Instructions:
  • Combine Ingredients: In a tall blending container, add all the ingredients.
  • Blend: Using an immersion blender, blend all ingredients until smooth. You might pulse a few times for a slightly chunkier texture. (Food processor or beverage blender also works)
  •  Cook: Heat a pan over medium heat until you can pass the water test.  Add your oil after the pan is hot. You can divide this into about 4 cakes. They may take about 3-4 minutes each side - they probably won't bubble like you are used to with wheat batters.
  • Serve: Enjoy warm with maple syrup and your favorite toppings.

Tips:
  • If you find the batter too thick, add a little extra milk.
  • For a stronger lemon flavor, increase the lemon juice or add a pinch of lemon zest.
  • I added some frozen small blueberries to my cakes when they were in the pan, delish!

Today, I went to WAR!

 I played a little Pioneer today for a Degen Supporter Event.  I had a good time, got completely lost with renting a deck from cardhoarder.  But I got that completed, sadly they didn't have 4 cards I needed for the list I chose, so I made a last minute replacement and it didn't go so well: 0-3 so I dropped out after match 3.   I ended the night, after getting frustrated with a Bant Angels deck (not a lot of interaction with), I thought what the heck, I might be able to make an Explorer deck... I'm going to WAR! The deck kind of came to me as I recall reading some article about how Opt was a good mechanic in Explorer/Pioneer so I started there.  Then thought, What kind of cheaper CMC planeswalkers could I try?  Enter: Wizard's Aren't Reasonable (or WAR). This should have in no way grant me any sort of wins - so I'm not gonna be upset if I just lose 3, but I did really well in Standard Unranked matches.  So I thought, what the heck, I'll take it i...

I think "Good dinner, Bad movie" nights have ruined my recommendations

Image
Infinite (2021) So for the past year I've been learning a lot about machine learning, algorithms, and generative AI. Studies often look at recommendation systems for reaching the basics of different types of algorithms. One of the issues I have with these systems is that the recommendations can vary widely between systems. This can happen from a number of factors, the most obvious being that the systems providing the recommendation have access to different data. They are recommending based on your preferences and the preferences of others that the algorithm has associated with you. So a new system that knows nothing about you will recommend different things than a system that has more data on your preferences and activity.  Another trait I have noticed is that recommendation systems usually come with one flavor. By that I mean when you're looking at ratings and reviews on Amazon Prime, you can only see them as they are modified by the Amazon process and algorithms. ...

Add the carrots. You'll cook these for and 7-10 minutes. While they are cooking, make your glaze. You'll zest and juice the clementines into a bowl. Add the honey and dark rum, mix very well to incorporate the honey into the mix. Add this to your skillet after the initial 7-10 minutes. Cover, then cook for another 10 minutes. Then, take cover off before adding in your wineberries to finish it off - your want the glass to thicken. You can season at this step as well with salt and pepper. For the wineberries, leave them in for about 3 minutes. Double that if they are frozen. Put them in your serving dish and top with some fiber chopped parsley (I used dried parsley).
