Math Nerd Tip

You know this diner has been waiting for a long time to do this. The tip is below 15%, but maybe it was carry out or a buffet. I wonder if pie came with the dinner! Link

The linked twitter account is for someone who lives in The Netherlands. If you took the minimum wage there and paid it to someone in the USA, they'd be receiving a base 66% tip on everything they do. In this case they get another $3.14 on top of that! :)

I'm in on this but. . . I researched some, a lot actually (big rabbit hole) and I think I'll be changing up the recipe.

Most others that I found have you cook the sugar mixture to 250D or as high as 260D.

You don't need cream of tartar. It's purpose is to prevent the sugar from crystalizing which is what lemon juice or citric acid will do. Adding it to the cornstarch mixture does nothing.

You've got to be careful with the stirring. Too vigorous and the starches break down which prohibit gelling.

Need to read up some more but for now, I'm going with this: https://aegeandelight.com/authentic-turkish-delight-recipe-from-narnia/

Pretty sure it's that one - I've got a lot of open tabs here. . .
