where skin porn and food porn collide

where skin porn and food porn collide 03/23/2005 10:09 AM

It's fun to use google and see what it returns when searching for 'sticky buns' as, well, the imagination is a poor substitute for reality. When food and skin porn collide it gets fairly ugly pretty quickly. Sticky buns are likely the source of inspiration for the Finnish bostonkakku which are served like a pie rather than the individual buns. One of the guys at work quipped that it is served this way because you can feed 20 instead of 8 people.

I figured that since I was making dallaspulla that I'd make the inspiration for texaspulla and bostonkakku so that my test subjects would know just what they had been missing all these years. :) The dough is a snap to make even without a mixer and is much easier to work with than the pulla dough. The only drawback is the time spent waiting for the dough to rise. With a four-day weekend approaching where absolutely nothing will be open and we'll likely have crappy weather given that it's a holiday, what could be better than making a pan of sticky buns and eating them instead of chocolate eggs? These are, by far, the best cinnamon rolls I've ever made and my test subjects consumed them in a shark chum feeding frenzy. Two guys even asked me for the recipe.

Sticky Buns, a.k.a. caramel rolls or cinnamon rolls

Makes: 12 sticky buns
Time: ~30 minutes prep, 3 hours for dough rising
Source: Cook's Illustrated

This recipe has four components: the dough that is shaped into buns, the filling that creates the swirl in the shaped buns, the caramel glaze that bakes in the bottom of the baking dish along with the buns, and the pecan topping that garnishes the buns once baked. Although the ingredient list may look long, note that many ingredients are repeated. Leftover sticky buns can be wrapped in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 3 days, but they should be warmed through before serving. They reheat quickly in a microwave oven (for 2 buns, about 2 minutes at 50 percent power works well); they can also be put into a 325F/175C-degree oven for about 8 minutes.

Dough

• 3 large eggs at room temperature
• 3/4 cup buttermilk (2 dl piima) at room temperature
• 1/4 cup (.5 dl) granulated sugar 
• 1 1/4 teaspoons table salt 
• 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast  (1 packet sunnuntai dry yeast)
• 4 1/4 cups (10,5 dl) unbleached all-purpose flour, plus additional for dusting work surface
• 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled until warm

1. In bowl of standing mixer, whisk eggs; add buttermilk and whisk to combine.
2. Whisk in sugar, salt, and yeast.
3. Add about 2 cups (5 dl) flour and butter; stir with wooden spoon or rubber spatula until evenly moistened and combined.
4. Add all but about 1/4 cup (1/2 dl) remaining flour and knead with dough hook at low speed 5 minutes.
5. Check consistency of dough (dough should feel soft and moist but should not be wet and sticky; add more flour, if necessary); knead at low speed 5 minutes longer (dough should clear sides of bowl but stick to bottom).
6. Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface; knead by hand about 1 minute to ensure that dough is uniform (dough should not stick to work surface during hand kneading; if it does stick, knead in additional flour 1 tablespoon at a time).
7. Lightly spray large bowl or plastic container with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer dough to bowl, spray dough lightly with cooking spray, then cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap.
8. Set in warm, draftfree spot until doubled in volume, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

Caramel Glaze

• 6 tablespoons or 85g unsalted butter 
• 3/4 cup (1,75 dl) light brown sugar, packed
• 3 tablespoons corn syrup, light or dark
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream 
• 1 pinch table salt 

1. Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for glaze in small saucepan.
2. Cook over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until butter is melted and mixture is thoroughly combined.
3. Pour mixture into nonstick metal 13- by 9-inch (33cm x 23cm) baking dish.
4. Using rubber spatula, spread mixture to cover surface of baking dish.
5. Set baking dish aside.

Cinnamon-Sugar Filling

• 3/4 cup (1,75 dl) light brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
• 1 pinch table salt 
• 1 tablespoon or 15g unsalted butter, melted
• Raisins (optional)

1. Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in small bowl.
2. Mix with a fork until thoroughly combined, using fingers to break up sugar lumps.
3. Set aside.

To assemble and bake buns:

1. Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface.
2. Gently shape dough into rough rectangle with long side nearest you.
3. Lightly flour dough and roll to 16-inch x 12-inch (40cm x 30cm) rectangle.
4. Brush dough with 1 tablespoon melted butter, leaving 1/2-inch border along top edge; with butter remaining on brush, brush sides of baking dish.
5. Sprinkle filling mixture over dough, leaving 3/4-inch border along top edge; smooth filling in even layer with your hand, then gently press mixture into dough to adhere. Add rasins if you desire.
6. Beginning with long edge nearest you, roll dough into taut cylinder.
7. Firmly pinch seam to seal and roll cylinder seam-side down.
8. Very gently stretch to cylinder of even diameter and 18-inch (45 cm) length; push ends in to create even thickness.
9. Using a serrated knife and gentle sawing motion, slice cylinder in half, then slice each half in half again to create evenly sized quarters.
10. Slice each quarter evenly into thirds, yielding 12 ~1.5 inch (3,75 cm) buns (end pieces may be slightly smaller).
11. Arrange buns cut-side down in prepared baking dish.
12. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and set in warm, draft-free spot until puffy and pressed against one another, about 1 hour.
13. Meanwhile, adjust oven rack to lowest position, place pizza stone (if using) on rack, and heat oven to 350F/175C degrees.
14. Place baking pan on pizza stone; bake until golden brown and center of dough registers about 180F/82C degrees on instant-read thermometer, 25 to 30 minutes.
15. Cool on wire rack 10 minutes; invert onto rimmed baking sheet, large rectangular platter, or cutting board.
16. With rubber spatula, scrape any glaze remaining in baking pan onto buns; let cool while making pecan topping.

Pecan Topping

• 3 tablespoons or 50g unsalted butter 
• 1/4 cup (.5 dl) light brown sugar, packed
• 3 tablespoons corn syrup, light or dark
• 1 pinch table salt 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract  or vanilla sugar
• 3/4 cup (1,75 dl) pecans or walnuts, toasted in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant and browned, about 5 minutes, then cooled and coarsely chopped

1. Combine butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt in small saucepan and bring to simmer over medium heat, whisking occasionally to thoroughly combine.
2. Off heat, stir in vanilla and pecans until pecans are evenly coated.
3. Using soup spoon, pour heaping tablespoon of nuts and topping over center of each sticky bun.
4. Continue to cool until sticky buns are warm, 15 to 20 minutes.
5. Pull apart or use knife to cut apart sticky buns; serve.

An excellent report on "T he State of the Commons 2003/04" (PDF) was prepared for the Friends of the Commons by the Tomales Bay Institute. The principle of the commons in Western common law was first codified in the Magna Carta, and was previously discussed on MeFi here. [Via I-Merge.]

BBC to use Creative Commons licenses

BBC to use Creative Commons licenses 05/26/2004 06:16 PM
Digital Lifestyles is reporting that Larry Lessig has been named to a BBC advisory board and that the BBC's Creative Archive project (which aims to put the BBC's archives online for non-commercial re-use) will use Creative Commons licenses:

Professor Lawrence Lessig, chair of the Creative Commons project was clearly excited: "The announcement by the BBC of its intent to develop a Creative Archive has been the single most important event in getting people to understand the potential for digital creativity, and to see how such potential actually supports artists and artistic creativity." He went to enthuse "If the vision proves a reality, Britain will become a centre for digital creativity, and will drive the many markets – in broadband deployment and technology – that digital creativity will support."

Cory Doctorow: Edward sez, "Becky Hogge has written an excellent article about the launch of Creative Commons in the UK. She discusses the problems faced by CC in the UK, the institutions supporting it like the BBC, and how Creative Commons will become a household name in the UK."

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), the most influential public service content provider in the world, has been behind the project from the start and is using the Creative Commons ideology as a lynchpin for its core digital project, the Creative Archive. Beyond this, institutions such as OfCom, Research Councils U.K., JISC, the Museums Libraries and Archives Council, The National Health Service, and the British Library are all making mention of CC in policy documents mapping the future dissemination of knowledge and culture. It may just represent good timing, but Lawrence Lessig's thinking has emerged as a framework for a country looking to maintain its lead role as a global content provider in the digital age.

By contrast, the commercial creative industries have raised the kind of misinformed objections to Creative Commons that will be tiresomely familiar to those engaged in the IP debate in the States. Although, during his research, Tsiavos received a warm welcome from many of the U.K.'s copyright revenue collecting societies, themselves keen to modernise practice for the digital age, the music business press in particular have been incredibly skeptical about the value of Creative Commons. Key concerns voiced have been that Creative Commons somehow undermines traditional copyright protection, that through taking part in what is in the U.K. a novel "registration process," creators may unwittingly give away their rights irrevocably, and also, in a wonderfully pitched recursive argument, that signing a CC licence could result in musicians being discounted by a music business hostile to CC. For the time being at least, the idea that, as Tsiavos puts it, "commons are not against markets; they only create new ones" appears to be falling on deaf ears.

Connecting two projects together - teh Creative Commons has put into beta a servcie which uses the open source spider/search engine - named Nutch. I believe Gordon Mohr works on that.

Here's the post from John Batelle.....

Doug Cutting reminds me that his Nutch open source engine is powering a beta version of Creative Commons search. This is a great example of a domain specific search application, in this case, the engine crawls and indexes all CC licensed sites and lets you find stuff by how you might want to use it. As Doug points out, there's no way the Creative Commons could have built an engine like this had it not been for open source. Cool....

Creative Commons and The Plains

Creative Commons and The Plains 08/06/2004 05:00 PM

There's a been good discussion about music and Creative Commons licenses happening on the pho list the last day or so. The most novel post comes from Jim Griffin:

Here's an example from my new reality: In our neighborhood (The Plains, VA, population 266) and in our region there are many people who adopt for their land a conservation easement, essentially signing away (sometimes with certain modifications) their right and any future owner's right to develop the land outside some fairly restrictive parameters.

On a strictly financial basis, it makes little sense. The dramatic reduction in the land's value does bring lower property taxes, but this pales by comparison to the lost right to develop the land. And make no mistake about it: The Washington area sprawls, especially so with the restriction on the height of buildings in the city. Northern Virginia is a hotbed of real estate development, and plots of land of 30 or more acres go for a massive premium to builders ready to sell about 40 houses per acre. It is the OBS, the One Big Score, rivaling a hit album, or a string of them, in the financial payday it delivers.

Put simply, you'd be an irresponsible fiduciary to adopt a conservation easement on your land.

On the other hand, it is not uncommon for an owner to choose to do so.

Why?

They have a long-term perspective on their role in the community. They know they at most use the land during their lifetime, and they want to preserve its place in the "commons" that surround us.

The move to The Plains has been a journey from ME to WE, from the ego-sphere of Hollywood to the community grain silo, the volunteer fire department and a wave of the hand to and from the neighbors who share this valley. I can't remember my neighbors in Los Angeles; already I cannot forget those who share this place between the mountains.

So I guess I get the Creative Commons. Or I hope to. Or there is hope that I might, and that some of it may rub off on our son. And as I write this, as the fading twilight of The Plains reflects off the pond, Creative Commons makes sense. These songs, like this land, are ours for a time, and there comes a time we should pass them on to the community.

The Creative Commons story has many altruistic and pragmatic readings. Jim's story above adds one of the former. In the same thread Lucas Gonze adds an insightful rendition of the latter:

My own perspective on CC is that it doesn't matter whether licenses declare that files are redistributable or anything else in particular. What matters is that there is legal metadata.

A big part of the current impasse is caused by the need to automate clearances. We need to be able to write programs which look up rights, or at the least have a computer assisted method for looking them up by hand.

About the plains, conservationism and altruism, I personally don't see open media (or code) that way. Making your media more open gives you certain practical benefits, and if it isn't the selfish thing to do then you shouldn't do it.

Either, or, neither? Make up your own story. Keep those ideas around for the next contest. (None planned at the moment!)

Tragedy of the network commons

Tragedy of the network commons 08/09/2004 09:11 AM

A recent survey found that 75 percent of Dartmouth students have shared their network passwords. They like having people who know their password, explained Denise Anthony, a sociologist who spoke at the PKI summit conference I attended earlier this month. "They like having someone who can check their e-mail for them or log them in to places where they're supposed to be."
...
As security technologists, we’re easily dazzled by our shiny cryptographic swords. But while we’re brandishing our swords, our users -- like Indiana Jones in that famous scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark -- might simply pull out their guns and shoot us. Better security protocols alone can’t thwart such game-changing behavior. We need to understand what motivates the behavior and figure out which carrots and sticks will influence it. [Full story at InfoWorld.com]

The responses to this column expressed a mixture of hope and resignation. The hope: that in a token-based authentication regime, tokens will feel more like personal property than passwords do, and that as a result, there will be less promiscuous behavior. The resignation: that, as one reader put it, "there is no access control system that is so convenient that some significant percentage of users will not intentionally circumvent it in one way or another at least some of the time." ...

Creative Commons Europe

Creative Commons Europe 03/22/2005 04:43 PM

I had the good fortune to attend the Creative Commons Europe summit in Amsterdam this week. The meeting, part of the Creative Capital conference, was organized by the Waag Society's Paul Keller, the public project lead of CC-Netherlands. It was one of those great happenings, more and more frequent these days, that snap your eyes open to Creative Commons' long-term potential, and to how far we've come already: over 40 European Creative Commons project leads and volunteers from Spain, the Ukraine, and everywhere in between, brainstorming for two days about organizational structures, promotion strategy, and tough legal issues, like a free-culture EU. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing everyone -- many for the first time -- after so many email exchanges, and having the chance to listen to their stories about all their work. Paul deserves a medal (if we had those to give out) for pulling the event together, and there aren't words to describe Creative Commons' indebtedness to Christiane Asschenfeldt and Roland Honekamp for coordinating, over only the last year and a half no less, the development of such a great network of people. It was one of those events that feels both like a milestone and yet a beginning. Indeed, watch this space as we try to develop similar meetings around the world. (Photos will soon follow, too.)
