How Greek Style Yogurt Is Different from Regular Yogurt: Since the Whey How Greek style yogurt is different from regular yogurt: 1. Texture – Greek yogurt has a smooth, rich and thick consistency that tastes too good to be true! Part of what makes Greek yogurt different than regular yogurt is that it is strained to remove the whey, giving it a dense texture. 2. Versatility – Greek yogurt can be used for both savory and sweet dishes. Due to its thick texture and rich taste, many people use it as a substitute for milk, sour cream and even crème fraiche when cooking or baking. 3. More Protein – With more protein than the average American yogurt, Greek yogurt is a protein powerhouse. Since it is strained, the protein content is concentrated, providing an average of 20g per cup as opposed to 13g per cup for the American style. 4. Easier to Digest – Greek yogurt contains less carbs than regular yogurt and therefore less lactose, the sugar in dairy products that can sometimes upset people’s stomachs. 5. Fullness Factor – Greek yogurt is dense and so high in protein that it keeps you feeling full and satisfied Since the whey is strained from the yogurt itself, the result is a yogurt with less lactose with fewer carbohydrates than regular yogurts, and the protein is more concentrated. Greek yogurt is a blend of cream and milk, so it has a much higher percentage of milk fat (butterfat)—anywhere from 4% to 10%, compared to regular whole milk yogurts that generally don’t exceed 3.5% milk fat. Make sure you get 2% or fat free as regular Greek style yogurt has more calories and more fat than regular yogurt; however, it also has more protein 12 grams per 8 0z serving Another benefit of cooking with Greek yogurt is that it is thicker and will not curdle and separate making it a great choice for making creamy sauces and dressings. .

Smith CMU-LTI-08-005 Language Technologies Institute School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University 5000 Forbes Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15213 www.lti.cs.cmu.edu SOUR CREAM: Toward Semantic Processing of Recipes Dan Tasse and Noah A. Smith School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University [email protected], [email protected] May 2008 1 Introduction We present preliminary work on SOUR CREAM (System to Organize and Understand Recipes, Capacitating Relatively Exciting Applications Meanwhile). The aim of this project is to develop new techniques for semantic parsing by focusing on the domain of cooking recipes. This report details the MILK meaning representation language and CURD, a database of recipes annotated in the MILK language. We also detail preliminary efforts at semantic processing using this dataset. 2 MILK: Minimal Instruction Language for the Kitchen In this section we present MILK, the Minimal Instruction Language for the Kitchen. In designing this language, we aimed to create a concise, yet complete, set of instructions that represent the actions demanded by imperative statements in recipes. MILK is based on first-order logic, but there is a notion of temporal order and creation/deletion of ingredients. It will provide a basic machine-readable target language for our parsing efforts; the MILK framework should allow a variety of useful applications. We have aimed for a medium-grained representation: a MILK translation of a recipe cannot identify in detail each action that occurs during cooking, but it will offer some useful information about each step in the recipe.

  • Cream Ingredients
    Cream Ingredients Cream is prepared from milk by centrifugal separation. United States standards require cream containing a minimum of 36% fat to be labeled “heavy whipping” cream. Cream used as an ingredient contains 36% to 40% fat. By standardizing with skim milk, cream of different fat levels can be produced. Light whipping cream and light (“coffee” or “table”) cream contain 30% to 36% and 18% to 30% fat, respectively. Specific homogenization and heat treatments bring about desirable grades of viscosity in cream products. Cream should be stored under refrigeration. It can be quick-frozen and stored frozen until used.

It can be pasteurized or ultrapasteurized and may be homogenized. The titratable acidity, expressed as lactic acid, is not less than 0.5%. If nutritive sweeteners or bulky flavoring ingredients are added, the final product must contain not less than 8.4% milkfat.

Johnny Morris commissioned local Ozark craftsman Danny Schwartz and his family members to carefully disassemble the barn and its 46-foot timbers, numbering each piece, transporting and re-erecting the barn at Top of the Rock to serve as the golf pro shop and a second restaurant. Some of the timbers from the barn – which included the now extinct American chestnut – are so old, Top of the Rock historians are carbon dating them. When the barn was built 150 years ago, some of those timbers were already well over 100 years old. From Arnie’s Barn, guests enjoy magnificent views of the practice facility along with unique memorabilia and golf gear found nowhere else.
