good news: found a brownie mix free of both gluten and corn derivatives and it does not make me sick!!
bad news: it’s made with cassava flour and therefore probably arsenic and lead so nobody should eat it

Note this doesn’t mean wheat: the dough can be masa, cassava, rice, whatever

I call it taking a Wiki Walk and it’s so lovely. Let the curiosity flow and take you where it will. Will you start at the history of cassava and somehow end up at a super black paint only one person in the world can use? Who knows. Follow the links and just let go of expectations.
Sometimes i get sad at those “I wanted to look up what kind of horse pulled medieval wagons It’s three hours later and playtex bra sewers made spacesuits i have a problem” no. No, you don’t. Hydrate and get back in there
I strongly recommend everyone do research sometimes 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘯.
Look something up on Wikipedia. Go to the little citation. Follow it. Read the article it's referencing. Follow links to the original interview. Read the paper written by the interviewee
It genuinely makes you appreciate journalism

When David McLagan’s team sampled mercury isotopes in cassava, maize, and peanut crops grown downwind of a small-scale gold-mining operation in Nigeria, the scientists discovered that the plants were taking up mercury from the air, not the soil or water. cen.acs.org/environment/... #chemsky 🧪
How gold prices cause mercury contamination in crops
As small-scale gold mining increases to meet demand, local crops absorb gaseous mercury emitted by the illegal and semilegal operations

Trialing a yeasted cassava-masa pancake idea while David's doing an elimination diet. It's gluten, dairy, and egg free, but the big challenge/concern is that it not be too goopy from the cassava

Really fascinating article. Prior to 2019, there were no GM crops in Nigeria. Now there are success stories for drought and pest resistant maize and pest resistant cotton+ cowpea, with ongoing trials for low nitrogen rice and nutritionally improved cassava.

Hitch lines up his melons. He dials up Christopher Lee. One by one, Hitch stabs each melon while holding the phone close to the action, so that Lee can hear. After the cassava, Lee intones, “It’s that one.” Hitch asks, “Are you certain?” Lee tersely replies, “QUITE.” #Psycho #tcmparty

So what worked best was waiting until the top was no longer shiny before flipping, then cooking until steam had very nearly stopped coming off it. Also cooking at medium to make sure the outside didn't cook too fast. Still sl gooey inside, but not intolerably so

I used a 1:1 cassava to masa mix, so it's possible different proportions might work better, or maybe using rice flour for part of it, but overall I was pretty happy with these

Forgot to post this because it was too good. Can't beat Padang food but you absolutely need to pick where you get them. Not all place is equal. Ordered an assortment of meat and vegetable curries with a side of paru balado (fried cow's lungs with red sambal). #goodlunch

Also you have to have good soil. Most people never, ever get their soil tested. This year we've had multiple warnings about cassava products with high lead contents because of bad soil.
My brother's in-laws grow lettuces every year and we all refuse to eat them because they are unnaturally bitter.

It's also lead:

I found out that my ancestors found a way to ferment cassava and starch potatoes that could last up to years, it’s astounding that kind of knowledge and it’s shared around the world in different cultures, the future is indigenous !!!!!

In große Pommes schneiden, Wässern und kochen um die Blausäure los zu werden. Dann frittieren. Mega lecker. Glaube nennt man auch Yuca oder jetzt hier in NL Cassava.
