Thank you! That’s a great question! I open mine daily to wipe down the condensation from the glass. I also checked to see if the paper was still moist.

The cold oil helps the warm agar agar droplets to cool down and set. Thanks for the question!

Thanks a bunch! Soak the tube in water for thirty minutes and it should be easy to tear it into small pieces. Good question!

Thank you for the kind words!

Super funny!! Thanks!

Thank you very much! That’s very nice of you to say.

Ha ha! That’s funny! Thanks!

Did you read the instructable? I used techniques that are quite prominent in the world of molecular gastronomy. Spherification, making gels, and sugar works are known techniques that chefs use to transform meals using science.Check this out for more information:https://www.gourmetfoodworld.com/molecular-gastronomy-techniques-15249

Here’s the science:Gels:https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/bring-science-home-gooey-gels/Spherification:http://scienceandcooking.seas.harvard.edu/Spherification.htmlSugar works:https://www.exploratorium.edu/cooking/candy/sugar-stages.htmlHere is also the contest description and request for entries as listed by Instructables:“Put on your lab coat and make some Instructables that employ scientific processes and principles to create culinary wonders. For inspiration, check out the topic of molecular gastronomy.We want to see projects that employ things like vacuums, flash freezing, distillation, infusion, emulsification, and crystallization (to name a few possibilities).” I believe my entry meets the contest description 100 percent.

Thank you for your interest.

Lol When I transformed this meal, I was wondering about how much of our food experiences are based on perceptions or preformed ideas. If a Happy Meal doesn’t look like a Happy Meal, would we interpret it differently? Now, I did do some things that would make it taste differently, but it is interesting to think about.Thanks for looking!

Looks tasty! I think I’ll make some tomorrow!

Very nice! I like the way that air can flow through the bin.I had an enclosed one in my yard and got some rats living in there. Yuck!Yours seems like a good solution!

Very nice. Looks great! I practice “lasagna gardening” in my raised bed and it helps me get rid of leaves that have fallen off the tree. I also put food scraps in there and I now have onions growing from the food scraps. LolI love your project!

Just beautiful! I love it!

With kids around, this is very good information. Thank you so much for sharing!

That looks terrific! I’m going to try this in my smoker and see what happens. Thanks for the great recipe.

Thank you very much!

That’s so nice! Thank you!

Hilarious! You nailed it! That’s what I was thinking.“Gourmet Chicken Nuggets”!Bah ha ha!

I couldn’t agree more!Thanks a bunch!!!

Thanks a bunch, 38ren! It was super fun; I hope you get to try it soon.

Thanks, Penolopy! It was really fun!

Thank you very much, Penolopy. It was really fun to create.

https://www.tangeroutlet.com/fortworth/store/kitchen-collection-outlet-stores/56Good question. I bought that mold at a kitchenware retailer near my home for $5. I have linked to it above. However, I have seen some others online: https://www.newfrog.com/product/4-holes-diy-ice-cream-maker-silicone-cake-ice-ball-mold-round-ball-ice-cube-tray-maker-mould-kitchen-bar-accessaries-tool-185188#group=animal&photo=0The mold that I have created spheres that are approximately 2.5 inches in diameter. Just be sure to buy one that is rated for high temperatures. I hope this info is helpful.

That’s very kind. It was a delicious meal and worth the effort.

You’re “cracking” me up! Thanks for the “runny” compliment, I mean punny.

Thank you! I got a new mold and then I made up a recipe. After I saw it, I named it because it reminded me of the Earth. My degrees are in biology so there’s always a chance a little science will pop up in my projects. Lol!

Thank you very much, Malicity. I really appreciate your interest and kind words. It was a very fun project.

Day 5! Happy!

I think this is wonderful! I love the video when your shoe comes off. You did a really good job! The little dog wants to go with you so much! Cute!Way to be creative!

Day 3: still a happy plant! Woo hoo!I think I should give him a name...any ideas?

Thank you!

Thank you!�

After 24 hours...looking good!

Hi Penelopy,Thank you for your question and nice comment. I just made the necklace today so it has only been about 5 hours. I used the plant Henbit (Lamium amplexicaule) which is actually a weed, although I think it is pretty. It should do okay because it can survive in less than ideal conditions. I attached a picture of one that is growing in the sidewalk down the street.I will be reporting back here after a couple of days to show it’s progress. Keep your fingers crossed.Thanks again!
