I've looked on google and youtube, but I either find reviews or recipes that don't look like cigs
I want to know how to make a cilinder shaped candy, with a base of about half a centimeter, and how to color it part brown (for the filter) and part white, maybe with yellow at the tip.
I want to have the cigs stored in a box, like a real cigarette box, and the box in my pocket. I also want to have it for a little bit in my mouth, so I don't want something that would melt easily in the mouth or in the pocket

I rarely use ghee because of the smell. I mean, I love butter, but the three types of (Indian) ghee I used so far all had the same sort of sour cow smell (I worked on a farm and the cow shed comes close). All there bought over time from different Indian grocery stores.
To me it's a very unpleasant smell that goes into the taste too. However, just last week went for Indian food, had butter naan with it and they had a normal butter taste.
Online I saw two fixes:
fry with yogurt (and strain)
fry/cook with pepper corns and gloves
I like to collect some comments from frequent ghee users.

I made a sauce tonight with lemon juice, cream and butter (plus some Calabrian chili paste), it had the texture of burre blanc and was so good, but is it still burre blanc if I didn’t use shallots + wine? I’m an enthusiastic home-cook, but don’t necessarily know what everything is supposed to be called. Thank you! 😀

This is my first time posting a question in this sub, so I hope I'm on the right track. Please forgive any posting mistakes, or let me know and I'll fix them. If this is too general for this sub, again, apologies, and let me know.
I am planning to make a wild leek (ramp) vichyssoise with a ramp infused oil garnish. Typically I would experiment until I get the best results, but I don't want to decimate the local ramp population on my land. Thus I don't have a current working recipe.
(I believe harvesting them sustainably is incredibly important. I don't forage pounds at a time to sell for profit - I forage what I need, preserve some, and move on to what's coming up in the next season. Morels if I'm lucky!)
This dish will be part of a presentation to a client, and I want to get it right. I'm a private chef to a few local families around me, and this client in particular owns a winery/tasting room. They are hoping I can help them expand their food pairings, and are heavily focused on local, regenerative cuisine.
Researching recipes has me hesitant to start without asking someone with first hand experience to weigh in. Techniques vary greatly. Honestly, I lack experience making infused oils in general, so that's on me, but I'm trying to learn.
The best recipe my instincts agreed with is from Forager Chef. Basically putting 3 cups of ramp greens in a Vitamix with 1.25 cups of neutral oil, a touch of salt and blending for 60 seconds. Removing the oil to chill in a metal bowl over an ice bath, and letting the flavors marry overnight, refrigerated. Staining, but not squeezing, using layers of cheesecloth. Yielding about .75 cup.
My goal is clear, vibrant green and punchy flavor.
Does anyone have input to help me be successful and not waste ramps due to my inexperience? Am I on the right track?

Fox News host Tucker Carlson discusses 'Populism and the Right' during the National Review Institute's Ideas Summit at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel March 29, 2019

Tucker Carlson criticized then-president Trump on his prime time show for breaking campaign promises.
Carlson mocked Trump's habit of calling to head off on-air attacks, The New York Times reported.
In one instance, Carlson declined a call from Trump, a Fox News employee told The New York Times
Despite promoting Donald Trump's platform issues on his prime time television show, Fox News host Tucker Carlson privately mocked the former president, according to reporting by The New York Times.
Carlson, who has topped ratings charts with his inflammatory rhetoric surrounding immigration, white supremacy and replacement theory, has some connection to Trump, though the nature of their relationship is unknown. Carlson has, on occasion, criticized Trump and his policies, despite generally promoting his presidency on prime time.
Carlson also influenced Trump's decision to endorse JD Vance, Rolling Stone reported, and the former president regularly appears on Fox News shows, including "Hannity." But The New York Times reported that Carlson criticized Trump for breaking campaign promises on-air and, on at least one occasion, declined a call from the former president, who had called to pre-empt criticism of a foreign-policy move.
"In private, Mr. Carlson mocked the president's habit of calling to head off his on-air attacks," The New York Times reported.
Justin Wells, a senior executive producer of Tucker Carlson Tonight told Insider: "Tucker Carlson programming embraces diversity of thought and presents various points of view in an industry where contrarian thought and the search for truth are often ignored. Stories in Tucker Carlson Tonight broadcasts and Tucker Carlson Originals documentaries undergo a rigorous editorial process. We're also proud of our ongoing original reporting at a time when most in the media amplify only one point of view."
In his Thursday show, Carlson lambasted the reporting of The New York Times, but did not comment on his relationship with Trump.

Hey friends, I currently work in a Japanese restaurant in a semi rural town, the owner opened another location across the state and is very preoccupied with it. He’s made the decision to switch our location to more American type food, as we really don’t satisfy the demographic out here.
Anyway, we’ve settled on a chicken wings and beer type of place. I love wings, I make them at home often but I’m unsure of how legit wing places crank them out effectively.
There’s some awesome places that I frequent in the neighboring town but I don’t feel like I can call them and ask them everything that I want to know, so here I am.
I’m thinking that maybe we bake them until mostly done, find some sort of warmer like those shelf cabinets you see at subway that keep the bread warm, then flash fry? That’s mostly what I’m wondering, like what the best flow is when cooking large amounts of chicken wings. The owner is still busy with his other shop so this is mostly on me.
I’m also wondering about the sauces, so places keep them in a warmer, or just room temp before tossing the wings in and serving?
Lastly, how do they make things either mild, medium or hot once the sauce is selected? Is it just by adding cayenne or something?
If anyone can help answer these questions, or if you have input that might be helpful let me know. I appreciate you guys!

Elon Musk sold 4.4 million Tesla shares worth $4 billion over two days this week, SEC filings show.
The billionaire is raising funds to complete his $44 billion deal to acquire Twitter.
"No further Tesla sales planned after today," Musk tweeted after the filings were made public.
Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk sold $4 billion worth of Tesla shares over two days, five SEC filings on Thursday show.
The sale of 4.4 million shares took place on April 26 and 27, just days after Twitter agreed to the billionaire's $44 billion offer to take the company private.
"No further Tesla sales planned after today," Musk tweeted after the filings were made public.
The sale comes as Musk raises funds to complete his Twitter acquisition.
Musk needed to use his Tesla stock to raise $21 billion in equity to fund his $44 billion takeover of Twitter, Insider's Aaron Weinman reported previously. Some $13 billion will be from debt, while another $12.5 billion will come through a margin loan with his Tesla shares as collateral, per the report.
Musk's latest purchase is unnerving Tesla's shareholders, some of whom are retail investors. They're concerned that Twitter's inability to generate income will in turn force the billionaire to turn elsewhere to raise more money to pay the debt needed to finance the privatization deal, Insider's Linette Lopez wrote.
Tesla's market value has been shrinking ever since April 4, when Musk disclosed a 9.2% stake in the social media platform. On April 26, the day Musk struck a deal to buy Twitter, the electric carmaker's share price fell 12%, per Lopez's report.
Tesla's shares closed at $877.51 apiece on Thursday before the filings about Musk's offloading of his stake were made public.

A video that appears to show Rep. Madison Cawthorn being groped by a male staffer is going viral on Twitter.
Chris Seward/AP Photo
A viral video appears to show Rep. Madison Cawthorn having his groin groped by a male associate.
FireMadison.com also posted a screenshot of Venmo payments it said were made by Cawthorn.
The payments made to the same male associate include labels like "the stuff we did in Amsterdam."
A widely viewed video on Twitter appears to show North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn being groped by a male associate.
The undated clip shows Cawthorn being filmed in a vehicle by another man.
"I feel the passion and desire, and would like to see a naked body beneath my hands," says Cawthorn in the video.
The man doing the filming then responds, saying, "Me too. I'd like to see that as well," while turning the camera on himself. The comment causes Cawthorn to burst out laughing, and the other man then films himself putting his hand on the lawmaker's groin.
The video was shared late on Thursday by the Twitter account of MeidasTouch.com, a super PAC dedicated to "protecting American democracy, defeating Trumpism, and holding Republicans accountable."
Since its posting, the video has been viewed over 520,000 times and received over 10,000 likes. It has also been retweeted over 6,000 times.
According to FireMadison.com, the other man in the video is Cawthorn's scheduler, Stephen Smith. The site is operated by the American Muckrakers PAC, whose self-described sole objective is to ensure Cawthorn's "first term in office is his last."
David Wheeler, the president of American Mucrakers, also uploaded a copy of an ethics complaint he filed against Cawthorn. The complaint alleges that Cawthorn had "not properly filed House financial disclosures regarding gifts and loans to Mr. Stephen L. Smith."
Wheeler's complaint also claims that Cawthorn and Smith are living together, appending various screenshots bearing Cawthorn's registered address in Hendersonville, North Carolina, and cross-referencing them with Smith's registered address on FEC filings.
Wheeler also posted several screenshots of what he claimed were records of Cawthorn and Smith's Venmo payments to one another. The images shared showed messages between the duo dating from June 17, 2018, to January 9, 2019 — before Smith joined Cawthorn's campaign for Congress as an aide in January 2020.
In the screenshots, some of the payments sent from Cawthorn to Smith included labels like "Getting naked for me in Sweden," "The stuff we did in Amsterdam," and "The quickie at the airport."
Meanwhile, some of Smith's payments to Cawthorn were labeled "For loving me daily and nightly" and "Nudes."
"The committee is requested to investigate whether any House Rules or statutes were violated by the relationship between Rep. Cawthorn and his House employee Mr. Stephen L. Smith," Wheeler wrote in his complaint.
Insider was unable to independently verify the Venmo screenshots. Insider also did not immediately receive a response to requests for comments from Wheeler, Smith, or Cawthorn's representatives.
Cawthorn has recently been involved in a string of controversies.

The miscount came after Twitter launched a feature in 2019 allowing users to link multiple accounts together to more easily switch between accounts, the company said.
However, "an error was made at that time" where these linked accounts were counted as separate "monetizable daily active users" even though they belonged to a single person, the earnings report said.
According to its findings, the company overstated its daily users by 1.4 million to 1.9 million per quarter.
After adjustments, Twitter said it has 229 million daily users, which is still up by 15.9% from the same time last year.
But as The Verge writerJacob Kastrenakesnoted, the error is "one final embarrassing slip-up for Twitter as the company wrangles a deal to be taken private, at which point it will no longer have to share these figures publicly." On Monday, Twitter accepted a buyout offer from billionaire Elon Musk for $44 billion in a deal expected to close this year.
This is not the first time the social media platform has incorrectly tallied its users. In 2017, it admitted that it had been overstating its user figures by about one to two million for three years, per TechCrunch.

Some Russian banks have been banned from SWIFT, a cross-border messaging service for banks.
India was reportedly considering a Russian proposal to use the SPFS for payments in rubles.
Moscow is also working with Beijing to connect to the Chinese messaging system.
In the aftermath of Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, some Russian bans were banned from SWIFT, the Belgium-based messaging service that lets banks around the world communicate about cross-border transactions. The ban has hampered cross-border transactions for Russia's trade and financial systems, isolating the country economically.
Now, both Russia and China are looking to establish alternatives to the US dollar hegemony.
Russia is touting an alternative ruble-based payment system called the System for Transfer of Financial Messages (SPFS). The system was set up in 2014. In late April, the country's central bank said it would start keeping the names of participants secret.
China's Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) — which processes payments in Chinese yuan — also has potential to replace SWIFT. The system has an expansive network of 1,280 financial institutions, said Peter Keenan, the cofounder and CEO of Apexx, a payments provider that used to work with Russia's domestic Mir payment card. That's compared to SPFS' much smaller network of 400 users.
There are few alternatives to SWIFT, Keenan told Insider: "This is one of the reasons why Russia is looking to CIPS and an alternative for Asian payments specifically."
Here's how China and Russia's SWIFT alternatives could cause disruptions in the global payments system and the dollar's dominance.
How do China's and Russia's alternatives to SWIFT work?
China's central bank launched CIPS in 2015 with the aim of internationalizing the use of the yuan. CIPS still relies largely on SWIFT for cross-border messaging, but it has the potential to operate on its own messaging system, said PS Srinivas, a visiting research professor at the National University of Singapore's East Asian Institute.
Russia's SPFS, on the other hand, has been limited to domestic use. New members are not likely to join now, as the move could be construed by the US and its allies as trying to help Russia evade sanctions, Srinivas wrote in a March report. But Moscow is working with Beijing to connect it with CIPS to work around the SWIFT ban, Reuters reported.
"To get rid of risks associated with maintaining trade turnover, establishing cooperation between the Russian and Chinese financial messaging systems is needed," said Anatoly Aksakov, the head of the financial committee in Russia's lower house of parliament, per Reuters.
What do the alternatives to SWIFT mean for the US dollar?
But if CIPS were used to settle more trade, it would create a Chinese-yuan driven alternative to the dollar-dominated SWIFT system. China does have ambitions to make the yuan the most dominant reserve currency in the world, but it has a long way to go, mainly because Beijing still manages its value tightly. It also isn't fully convertible to other currencies on the global market right now.
Russia's demand of energy payments in rubles is significant because the country is an energy powerhouse — so the rise of an alternative currency for the industry could cause knock-on impact on a world trading system dominated by the dollar. However, experts say Russians won't allow themselves to become so dependent on USD, and instead expect a pivot to China.
"The role of CIPS for bilateral trade settlements between Russia and China for yuan transactions will likely grow over the medium term," said Rajiv Biswas, the Asia Pacific economist for S&P Global Market Intelligence.
The Indian government was considering a Russian proposal to use the SPFS for payments in rubles, Bloomberg reported in March. It's also mulling using the Chinese yuan as the currency to reference the rupee-rubles trade, India's Mint media outlet reported last month. Meanwhile, oil giant Saudi Arabia was also in discussion to be paid in yuan instead of dollars for its oil sales to China, according to a Wall Street Journal report from March.
Still, many factors constrain wider use of CIPS, as the yuan accounts for just 3% of global trade while the greenback and euro still account for 77% of total global payments, Biswas told Insider.
What would a shift from the dollar mean for the US economy?
The US dollar is the world's reserve currency used widely as a default base of foreign exchange. This status allows the US to borrow money overseas more easily and at a lower cost.
If the dollar loses its dominance, it will hit the US economy.
"It would likely hurt the value of the dollar and create inflationary pressure on the prices of consumer goods," Allianz Global Investors explained in a 2018 report. "Ultimately, the United States' loss of reserve-currency status may only limit any further decline in wages, and there is a good chance it would also make US consumers a lot poorer."
If the dollar weakens, imported goods will get more expensive. It will also get more expensive for Americans to travel to places where the dollar has weakened against the local currency.

I understand charcoal, you're getting that carbonized smoky taste from the charcoal smoke. But gas has kind of confused me, is it just that it's a hotter temperature? Being on a metal grill vs a pan? Would it taste "grilled" if I just set a piece of meat on a gas stovetop? Is it temperatures? Is it that we can get a decent maillard effect without making our kitchen a smoke cloud? I've just not understood how it can taste smoky while it is just cooked on clean gas.

Cushman & Wakefield did not always follow "internal quality control practices" when appraising properties for Donald Trump, a Manhattan judge found Thursday.
The rebuke is buried in an order that requires C&W turn over additional appraisals to NY AG Letitia James.
C&W had fought the subpoena, saying 'thousands' of clients' confidentiality could be compromised.
Appraisal giant Cushman & Wakefield did not always follow its own "internal quality control practices" when appraising properties for Donald Trump, a Manhattan judge has found.
"This Court has reviewed numerous documents in camera," meaning in private, the judge wrote, "demonstrating that C&W was not consistent in adhering to its internal quality control practices when conducting appraisals on behalf of the Trump Organization."
The rebuke is included — almost as an aside — toward the end of a court order released on Thursday. The order requires that C&W turn over stacks of additional appraisals to New York Attorney General Letitia James' probe of Trump's business.
The firm has until May 27 to turn over appraisals not only for Trump properties but for other properties "comparable" to the Trump assets they have valued.
Thursday's written ruling expands on what the judge, New York State Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, had ruled from the bench on Monday, when he found that C&W must comply with James' recently-expanded subpoena.
The AG "has an independent investigate interest in determining whether there was a pattern and practice at C&W of failing to adhere to its internal quality control practices," Engoron wrote.
C&W had fought the expanded subpoena, saying it could potentially require them to turn over "thousands" of "utterly irrelevant" appraisals for clients whose confidentiality rights would then be compromised.
But Engoron, who is presiding over a host of subpoena squabbles in the AG's Trump probe, said that the additional appraisals James wants are very relevant.
James' office "has satisfied its burden of demonstrating that the materials sought from C&W are not "utterly irrelevant to its inquiry," the judge wrote.
He quotes from one of James' own arguments, which had said, "It is plainly germane to an inquiry into choices related to key appraisal variables, whether the same appraisers made similar or different choices for other clients in comparable circumstances."
The judge continued, "For example, although appraisals of adjacent buildings on the same date will be completely different based on their respective sizes, ages, condition, occupancies, the assumptions for the rate of inflation should be the same."
James is probing how Trump valued at least ten properties over the past decade. She has alleged in court documents that she believes he overstated valuations when he wanted to use the asset as loan collateral, and minimized some of the same valuations to lower his real estate taxes.
Many of the questioned appraisals were done by C&W, including for the Trump family's Westchester County estate, Seven Springs, the Trump National Golf Club near Los Angeles and the skyscraper at 40 Wall Street in Manhattan, where Trump's stake "doubled" in value from 2012 to 2015.
C&W has denied wrongdoing, saying in a statement earlier this week, "Any suggestion that Cushman & Wakefield has not responded in good faith to the attorney general's investigation is fundamentally untrue."
The statement continued, "We stand behind our appraisers and our work."

I've been trying to get a tonkotsu broth going slow and veryyyy low on my stove before I crank it up to a full boil, but it's been jostling so much even at the lowest heat. I realized the issue might be the burner, so I moved it over onto a wide, single plate burner (front left), and it's been giving it that perfect little kiss of heat I wanted. We'll see if it stays that way as that area of my stove heats up, but what gives? The burner I had it on (front right) is a small plate, with another ring plate around it, space in between, with flames comping up from around the center plate and the ring - is that the power burner? I guess it makes sense to me that a wider plate would disperse heat more and be less of a direct blast, but I always thought the big plate was the power burner.

Militarized dolphin pens were seen in satellite photos of a Russian naval base.
Animals in military marine mammal programs are trained to detect enemy swimmers and sea mines.
The dolphins could foil Ukrainian special operations attempting to sabotage Russian warships.
Satellite images captured by Maxar Technologies show two pens containing trained dolphins belonging to the Russian Navy at the harbor of Sevastopol, Crimea, a major port on the Black Sea.
Russia has deployed the militarized dolphins to protect its Black Sea naval base by foiling Ukrainian undersea operations aimed at sabotaging Russian warships, USNI News, a news and analysis site by the US Naval Institute, reported.
According to the report, the pens were moved to the naval base in February following Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
The Russian navy has operated a trained marine mammal program in Sevastopol since the Cold War, with the units being transferred to the Ukrainian armed forces following the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, USNI News reported. Russia regained the units following the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and expanded operations ever since, according to the report.
Animals in marine mammal programs — ranging from dolphins and beluga whales to sea lions and seals — are trained to find enemy combat swimmers and detect bottom mines and moored mines, according to H I Sutton, an expert on submarine and sub-surface systems who first reported on the dolphin pens in Sevastopol.
Four countries are known to run such military programs, including the US, Russia, Israel, and North Korea, according to Sutton.
