Fiction Kitchen #1 - Blue Milk Macarons (The Mandalorian)

 Welcome to the Creation Station's Fiction Kitchen.  Each month we will show you how to recreate food from popular books, games, tv shows and movies.

This month we'll visit Miss Michele's kitchen in a Galaxy Far, Far away and she shows you how to make Blue Milk Macarons the were recently feature in season 2 of The Mandalorian.  Grab your Baby Yoda, and let's get cooking!

A curved spatula 

A hand whisk 

2 plastic piping bags or plastic food storage bags

Parchment Paper

Baking Sheets 


Directions:

1. Combine Almond flour and Powdered Sugar with hand whisk

2. Sift mixture 1-2 times and throw away large granules

3. Separate egg whites into mixing bowl and and cream of tartar and salt

4. Mix on medium speed, when foam appears, gradually add baker's sugar

5. Mix on high speed until stiff peaks form

6. Fold meringue into flour mixture

7. Add flavor extract and 2-3 drops of blue food color, fold

8. Line baking sheets with parchment paper 

(Optional: Draw circles as guides on the underside of the paper)

9. Fill Piping bag halfway and pipe mixture onto the baking sheets

10. Carefully drop baking sheet from 2-3 inches onto counter, spin and drop again to release air bubbles

11. Let rest for 10-15 minutes

12. Pre-Heat oven to 300F or about 150C

13. When oven is ready, bake for 18-20 minutes

Montana Mask - Makerspace Live! Relevant Links: Make the Masks for the STL files: https://www.makethemasks.com/ Ultimaker Cura is the Slicing engine I used: https://ultimaker.com/software/ultimaker-cura Transcript: William: "Hello Makers! Today we're going to be 3D printing a filtration mask using a small, budget printer. For this project we will need elastic bands (though I have string pictured), and we'll need some filtration material like a cutoff from an N-95 respiratior. We're printing in black and white [Oops, black PLA] on a Monoprice Select Mini. Be sure to check us out on Facebook and in person when we resume operation! Today we'll be printing the Montana Mask which can be found at Makethemasks.com. The Montana Mask is a 3D printed respirator which can be used and is designed to help stretch out the supply of N-95 respirators.  You can find the files under the "Make the Mask" subsection of that website, un

Makerspace Live! - Pi/Arduino Blink A Transcript REFERENCES: https://raspberrypihq.com/making-a-led-blink-using-the-raspberry-pi-and-python/ Transcript:       Will:  "Hello Makers! Today on Makercraft Live we're going to make some LEDs blink! Blinking LEDs on and off is a common introductory task when learning about microcontrollers. We will be performing the same blinking LED example on both an Arduino nano and a Raspberry Pi 4 in order to show that although there are fundamental differences between these microcomputers they may also be used to produce similar results. We will also walk through the very basics of setting up a Raspberry Pi. We may occasionally venture into topics which are outside of the scope of this tutorial but we will try to keep it simple. Be sure to visit our Facebook and other social media and be sure to come in once we are again open to the public. Here's the stuff you're going to need: A Raspberry Pi: any edition sh
