norajean_sf: I'll save log while folks check out the
jelly roll blends that make good mini food. Cut raw
Kris
norajean_sf: saving log, brb
bonsaikathy: ok
huntmommy: will it not squish?
bonsaikathy: if it's too soft you can stick it in the
fridge temporarily
huntmommy: ah, thanks for the tip
norajean_sf: ok, log saved
bonsaikathy: it's a good one to remember as it will
make things stiff enough that you can do that
rschneiter1963: I gotta question
norajean_sf: yes
bonsaikathy: ok well you were saving log I was able to
go feed her real quick, she was doing somersaults, lol
bonsaikathy: high in the air

huntmommy: :))
rschneiter1963: say I actually had a leaf cane and I
wanted to slice it real thin how do you do that? it
seems when I slce that I get thin at the top and
thicker at the bottom
norajean_sf: let the cane rest, or put it in the
fridge for a bit
norajean_sf: rotate the cane between slices
norajean_sf: break the surface of the cane like when
you slice tomatoes, then bare down on the blade, use a
sharp blade
norajean_sf: when the surface tensions isn't broken
first there's a chance for smearing
bonsaikathy: and it's a good idea to not try to slice
right after you work with it
bonsaikathy: it's too soft and mush at that point
usually
norajean_sf: just saw a bit on the edge of the cane
and then bare down on the blade
huntmommy: so you can actually slice cane raw and save
it
huntmommy: i always thought you had to cook first
norajean_sf: I have mini food cane that's years old
norajean_sf: raw
huntmommy: this is soo good to know
norajean_sf: if I need some hard boiled egg I pull out
this hella old cane
rschneiter1963: would razor blades be good?

rschneiter1963: thanks
beadyeyedbrat: Kewl
beadyeyedbrat: Ze plug!
bonsaikathy: for those just coming in, NJ has done
color mixing, easy breezy blend and then jelly roll

esther_reeves: I'm doing the bouncing thing tonight :(
bonsaikathy: ok NJ, I missed a step there somehow so
I'll have to have you describe what you just did, lol
beadyeyedbrat: Squished da plugs
bonsaikathy: I was doing that earlier in msn Esther,
it's really frustrating
norajean_sf: I made a sandwich of light green and dark
green
norajean_sf: for the separation veins between the
segments of the leaf
norajean_sf: also for the center vein and surround
sheet
norajean_sf: I mashed the jelly roll blend and topped
it with the separation sheet
norajean_sf: cut it in half and am going to cut it
into smaller sections and stack for the chevron flip
norajean_sf: I'll take questions at this point
bonsaikathy: thanks
everclay: Kathy mentioned easy breezy blend
everclay: is that a skinnerblend?
beadyeyedbrat: Everything she does is easy breezy
everclay: lol
norajean_sf: LOL
beadyeyedbrat: So the rest of us can do it.
norajean_sf: instead of just folding the two colors in
half and pressing in the pasta machine
norajean_sf: I roll the two colors up and twist them
like a wet wash cloth
norajean_sf: and then press
norajean_sf: instead of 24 passes on the pasta
machine, it's 6

raven_hill_wench: ooh we are making leaves?

beginner class
beadyeyedbrat: Thanks for the idea NJ
nefret111: kay is back, after putting a meatloaf with
pinon nuts into oven
bonsaikathy: ok after slicing in equal length
portions, then you stack them
beadyeyedbrat: <holdsoutplatetokay>
nefret111: here y'are!
beadyeyedbrat: thankee
nefret111: raw, but should be good
norajean_sf: now to do a chevron flip you slice
diagonally across the lines, whether it's just stacked
sheets or stacked mashed jelly roll blends
beadyeyedbrat: I have a microwave
nefret111: good
norajean_sf: this is where the flip comes in
nefret111: drum roll when she flips
norajean_sf: turn one half around to make the chevron
bonsaikathy: lol was just ready to describe it
bonsaikathy: thanks
beadyeyedbrat: NJ has flipped!
huntmommy: <:-P
rschneiter1963: NEAT!
nefret111: nice
norajean_sf: before I reduce this I'll add a center
vein
beadyeyedbrat: Way cool
morganalilith387: woo hoo :D
little38chevy: nice
bonsaikathy: and you can either leave it that way or
add center vein right?
mommaclara2001: Oh Wow. I always get messed up there.
bonsaikathy: she took stacked sheet of the two green
colors and put between the two lengths she just cut
beadyeyedbrat: T says it's looks like a fern
bonsaikathy: so now when pressed and reduced that vein
will show up as the center vein
norajean_sf: now I'll use the rest of the sandwich
ribbon for a surround sheet
bonsaikathy: starting at the wide end point, she
placed iton the stacked sheets with the dark on the
outside
beadyeyedbrat: good stuff
bonsaikathy: and rolled until it came back together

everclay: try use a little bit of mix quick to help
softening
huntmommy: i don;t have any
nefret111: hm, some people whirl it in a little,
dedicated food chopper
everclay: or mineral oil
huntmommy: k
everclay: a few drops for 2 oz will do
everclay: chop up the fimo
everclay: fine
everclay: put in plastic baggie
beadyeyedbrat: If it's too crumbly to stay together in
your hands, you need to add something.
everclay: add drops of mineral oil
everclay: and shake |
