I made fudge with evaporated milk I made myself. Added this to butter and sugar and heated.  Added this to chocolate and stirred enough to mix.  Poured into 8x8 dished and left to set up. No such luck.  What I have is silky thick hot fudge sauce-like chocolate.  Kind of like soft caramel.  What can I use this for now or do y'all have suggestions as to how to fix it?

What is the best way to store fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro?  I find I have about the same luck with them whether they are left in a plastic bag or I put them in a cup of water.

Sometimes I see a recipe call for dried herbs. If I have access to fresh herbs, should I go for fresh herbs instead? Is there any benefit in using dried herbs with some recipes?

I wanted to make a Stevia-sweetened chocolate milk so I tried mixing some unsweetened cocoa powder with the milk and stevia, but I found that the cocoa powder doesn't mix with the milk at all. It tends to float on top, and even with a lot of stirring and mixing back and forth between two glasses it was a lumpy mess.  Any techniques or natural additives I can use to help the powder dissolve more like Nestle Quick and the like?

I want to make some whipped cream for millefeuille but I only have single.  If I added butter to single cream and whipped it, would that add enough butterfat to it to make it suitable for whipping?  Thanks in advance.

I live in a town where fresh or whole milk is not readily available. I was wondering if I could make cheese from UHT Milk. If so, what kind of cheese and what method I should use? Or rather, Should I?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to model the sphere-spiral here:    Is it possible to make this shape directly? Or do you have to make it as a cylinder and wrap it to a sphere?

My goal is create realistic foam. I mean really realistic foam with bubbles, no only SSS shader and done :-).   Use particle system's is not enough, because bubbles overlaps and black artifact's appear.  Any ideas? Some reference images and something about bubbles:    EDIT:  I want this for 360° turntable animation. Bubbles and foam does not to be animated, but should be good keep reasonable render time.  Of course, if someone know how to make it animated I glad to learn it and I'm sure I'm not only one. But my priority is realistic look, not animation.  Only for clarification: I don't need to know how to make bubbles in beer (there is very good tutorial by Andy Price), please focus only on foam. Beer is not important.

What are the general rules regarding when can you refreeze food that was frozen and then thawed in the fridge? and what are the reasons behind them? (Hygiene? Food quality?). Let's assume for the sake of the argument that the items were in a non-frozen state only a few hours.  To be more specific, I'm interested in the application of these rules for  - Ginger garlic paste - Dough - Indian Curries - Green Chilly paste - Frozen green peas

What is the point of throwing candy on the ground using the "Throw 10 candies on the ground"? All that seems to happen is that the text under it becomes more and more disappointed in me. ಠ_ಠ

Today I cut open a garlic bulb only to discover that the core was mostly black powder. What on earth was that? I've never seen it before in my life. From the outside the bulb seemed to be fine. It wasn't obviously rotten or dark or anything like that.

I'm relatively new. I know how to make a water bottle starting with a circle and extruding upwards while using a combo of extrude and scaling to make indents, but how would I do something like this? I'm still trying to wrap my head around some of the photos I see out there. This is such an incredible program. Thanks for your help!

I already tried several ways to create Mist in Blender, but it never worked 100%. I use Blender 2.78 and I want to create Mist like in this scene here.  What are the exact steps?     Here is what I have tried so far:  I already tried this:  but it simply did not work .. I dont know why.  (EDIT: I managed to fix it: Check out this graphic:   Until now I already used objects successfully as Mist-creators (Volume Scatter under Volume Material). The bad thing about using Objects as Mist-creator is that they dont have an endless mist range + the mist can not be bright. Normally it appears grayish result is bad..  Check it out  Please help

Essentially I want to turn a material into a kind of night-light. For this character I'm working on, I wanted the crystals on him to glow in the dark... And I got them to glow using various shader nodes. However I can't find a balance that looks bright enough in the dark, and not washed out in the light. So I was thinking perhaps there might be a node that could change the light emission of the crystals depending on the amount of light from external sources. In truth I don't even know if this is the best way to go about accomplishing what I want... Which is to have only barely semi-transparent crystals that glow brightly in the dark and appear as solid colors with a slight emission  when in the light. The other question is... will something like that carry over into unity? Because if not I'd rather save myself a lot of heartache. Here's a picture of what I have so far:

I was tearing open individually-wrapped cough drops in the dark, and noticed that when I pulled apart two adhesive-joined pieces of silvery plastic film, small flashes of light were produced. It was not a reflection--it was pitch dark.  What causes this?  The product is Bee M.D. Organic Honey Throat Drops--kind of gooey, old ones (laugh). They contain menthol and eucalyptus oil. I did some more experimenting and think the the flash could actually be separating the plastic from the cough drop itself rather than pulling apart the adhesive. The item is small, the room is dark, my finger has a wound, and all in all it's hard to tell for sure.  I don't know if this is a physics or chemistry question--it depends on the answer.

I have been offered a position with a US-based company. This role is initially located in Massachusetts, but the company says I can live anywhere in US, as long as I am not too far from an airport.  My question is about whether public drinking water in Massachusetts is safe to use for coffee, tea, to drink straight from the tap and things like that, or should I buy bottled water from grocery store or invest in some kind of a filter?  Also, since I do not yet know where in USA I will settle permanently, it would be great to know this detail about other states, such as Florida.
