Reply to comment by nunnies in Best tiramisu in Pittsburgh/surrounding areas by Thin_Business4893
Most recipes are the same, the only decisions you need to really make are:
- Do you want to use alcohol (Marsala wine which is more traditional, or Rum which is less, or no alcohol which is how I make mine).
- Do you want to use raw egg (only yolks, or raw egg white, or pasteurized eggs). Raw egg is the traditional way, but most people don't like eating raw eggs, so they'll use no egg, or pasteurized egg. Raw egg can cause salmonella, so if you use it, don't blame me if you get a foodborne illness, but raw egg is the traditional way to make tiramisu.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tub of mascarpone
- If no egg:
- 2 tubs mascarpone, or
- 1 tub mascarpone + 1/2 the amount of ricotta, by weight, or
- 1 tub mascarpone + 1/2 pint heavy whipping cream + 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- If no egg:
- 1/2 packet of Savoiardi biscuits (Around 20-30 biscuits).
- 2 Tbsp white sugar
- 1.5 cups cold italian espresso, brewed in advance (let cool naturally, don't dilute with ice), in a bowl.
- If adding rum or marsala, add a couple tablespoons of it to the cold espresso.
- Coca powder for dusting.
​
For the creams:
- Add egg white + 1 Tbsp sugar to a mixing bowl, whisk until foamy. (Electric hand-blender recommended).
- Add egg yolk + 1 Tbsp sugar to a separate mixing bowl, whisk until foamy.
- Add 1/2 of the mascarpone to each bowl, fold mascarpone into the egg.
​
For eggless cream (remember to add your 2 Tbsp sugar if you do one of these):
- If you are omitting egg totally, replace the egg with heavy whipping cream + vanilla extract and make homemade whipped cream instead, by whisking with your electric mixer, then fold in mascarpone.
- Alternatively, you could whisk mascarpone + ricotta cheeses together to make your cream, this is normally what I do if I'm making mine eggless.
- You could also do 1/2 and 1/2 (1/2 mascarpone + ricotta for bottom layer, 1/2 mascarpone + whipped cream for top layer).
- Lastly, you could just whisk mascarpone and only use that for your cream (I don't recommend this way, but it's an option).
​
I use an 8x8 inch dish, but you can use whatever size you want depending on how many layers you want and how much mixture you have.
​
Tiramisu:
- Dip your Savoyardi biscuits in espresso (with optional added alcohol) 2-3 seconds, and layer sugared side down in your dish. Press biscuits together lightly so there isn't a gap between them, but don't squish the biscuits.
- Once you finish one layer of biscuits, layer your egg yolk mixture on top, smooth.
- If using an alternate cream, add half of your cream instead.
- Add another layer of biscuits, same as before, dipping them in the espresso, then placing the sugar side against the cream.
- Layer the egg-white cream (or remaining half of cream) on top of the biscuits, and smooth.
- Dust with cocoa powder (I use a mini hand strainer for this) until you can't see any white on top.
- Cover with plastic wrap, place in fridge overnight.
​
After 24 hours, you can remove from the fridge, slice, and eat. It lasts in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Reply to Is Xfinity internet bad in Pittsburgh? by jayx468
Xfinity really sucks if you're used to FiOS. I don't see it mentioned here, but it was an issue when I had Xfinity; they have data caps unless you use their modem or subscribe to unlimited data. It was an extra $30/month for me because I didn't want to rent their modem that's significantly worse than the one I already owned.
As others have mentioned, the upload speeds are pretty bad and the internet will probably be slow during peak hours. It was an issue for teams calls.

Severina in West View! It's a new Italian cafe that makes incredible coffee and pastries.
Just be sure youncall.ahead of time, because like an authentic Italian cafe they can sometimes have changed hours and there js never a set menu. Sometimes they have it sometimes they don't.

Late 30s, I say it.
Asked my 10 year old if he knew what it meant, he said no, then stared at me confusedly while I tried to explain...because he never wears pants other than sweatpants.

Just those 3 things? Do I need to send it to the dmv by mail or just bring those in with me? Also I've read that I have to fill out some sort of form and have Google doesn't give me a clear answer if I have to print it, fill it out, and bring it with me or if they'll give me said form at the dmv

No idea, but they treated my AML when i was 17/18 and every single person on the staff, from my Oncologists to the Janitors were fantastic people.

Wait until it sinks in the stern to reach the same angle as the sinkhole bus. (Maybe someone can help that happen quicker.)

She fell off her perch and injured her cere… Bleeding was minimal, and stopped. The worry is why did she fall? This happened once before about a year ago… Scared us pretty good, then the next day she was back to normal and fine for a year… This morning after seeing her injury I watched her all day and she fell twice more… Can’t tell what caused what, but something’s wrong. She is the oldest of our group, and the sweetest, with the most personality I’ve ever seen in ANY pet… My daughter, and the rest of us too, will be heartbroken if something happens to her. Moved her to a smaller cage, (not as high) just in case she falls again. Other than that and ‘wobbling’ a little, she seems fine. Going to be a stressful couple of days until I can see someone.

Does Bloom’s Cut Rate in McKeesport still exist? Never went in there, just drove by it for a decade and a half and still not convinced it’s even a real place, might just be a Christmas diorama that nobody ever bothered to take down.

OK, thank you. Quick question what do I need for the real ID? Birth certificate, social security card, and anything else?

Reply to comment by GargantuanWitch in Is Xfinity internet bad in Pittsburgh? by jayx468
Yeah, that was basically it. Comcast had higher service availability than Duquesne Light for their respective products and since both are typically used together I gave Comcast the bonus.
I suppose awarding them a bonus based on a comparison to a different class of product is unfair. The below list is restricted to residential ISP services I have used ranked in order of preference:
Xfinity is showing gigabit options in the Pittsburgh area now, so it appears they've upgraded their network since I last pondered their offer page.
