What Kind Of Salt Do You Use For Cooking? - Yahoo Recipe Search
YummlyCustard, sponge cake, and coffee — tiramisù is about as classic as you can get with Italian desserts. It's made with soft, coffee-dipped cookies layered with a rich mixture of mascarpone cheese, sugar, and eggs, and topped with a dusting of cocoa powder. Though it's a celebrated dessert, trying to trace tiramisù to [its origins](https://www.eater.com/2016/10/24/13314196/tiramisu-history) won't give you concrete answers, but we do know three things: it is delicious, it is Italian, and the literal translation of 'tiramisù' is **not** "pick-me-up," despite what the internet tells you. However, this recipe can be considered a pick-me-up and with a little bit of background on this confection, you can whip it up so easily, you might consider yourself an honorary Italian for the day. ## Dessert Structure There are three major elements that make up tiramisù: the fluffy egg and cheese mixture (yes, this is a dessert!), the cookies, and the coffee. It's not hard to put it all together — this recipe is fool-proof; it only requires a few simple ingredients and the step-by-step instructions are easy to follow to complete it in 30 minutes. But if you're making tiramisù for the first time, it's helpful to be comfortable with a whisk and an electric mixer. ## Eggs And Cheese The eggs and cheese are transformed into a fluffy mousse-like layer to top the cookies. 1) First, the eggs are separated. 2) The whites are then whipped into foam and the yolks are whisked with sugar and gently heated over a double boiler (a heat-resistant bowl that fits over a pan of simmering water) to make a loose custard. 3) The cheese (mascarpone) is whipped to soften it. 4) The egg whites and the custard are then folded into the cheese. ## Ladyfingers If you're not familiar with ladyfingers, you're in for a sweet treat! Called 'savoiardi' in Italian, they are sponge cake cookies shaped to (kind of) resemble fingers. Made with just a few simple ingredients, they're fairly easy to make. [This recipe](https://www.yummly.com/recipe/Ladyfingers-1505090) makes about three dozen but to cut down on cook time for tiramisù, you can find ladyfingers at most grocery stores. ## Coffee Vs Espresso In Tiramisù Most traditional tiramisù recipes are made with Italian espresso, but you can use either coffee or espresso for this recipe. If you don't have an espresso maker but want the true tiramisù experience, strong coffee is best, but you can use decaf coffee if you want the flavor without the caffeine. This recipe calls for sugared coffee, so you'll need to add a spoonful of sugar to your brewed coffee or espresso. Some recipes you see for tiramisù call for instant espresso powder, but in this case, you'll need a full cup of coffee. ## Recipe Notes There is no one recipe for tiramisù — there are many ways to make it. Here are a couple of ways to make yours a little different. _Swap mascarpone for ricotta:_ If you don't have mascarpone cheese on hand, or prefer the flavor of ricotta, feel free to use that instead of the mascarpone. _Add zabaglione:_ Many tiramisù recipes call for zabaglione (zabaione or sabayon), which is kind of like custard made with marsala wine, egg yolks, and sugar, but it's a bit looser than custard — in Italy, people even use it like cream in their coffee. In the case of this recipe, you are making a crème anglaise which is zabaglione without the wine, so if you want to make it slightly boozy, you can add up to 1/4 cup of sweet wine to the egg yolks and sugar before combining everything with the mascarpone. _Mix in chopped nuts:_ To add a bit of texture, feel free to add in a 1/2 cup of chopped nuts to your mixture, and sprinkle over the top of your tiramisù. _Make it vanilla:_ For added flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream mixture. Vanilla blends wonderfully with the ladyfingers and the mascarpone. ## Storing Tiramisù Tiramisù will keep well in the fridge for up to four days, but not much longer. The bubbles in the eggs will start to deflate and the ladyfingers can become slightly soggy after a few days so while the flavor deepens the longer you leave it, it probably won't hold its shape. ## Serve And Enjoy This dessert would be the perfect ending to a big Italian feast. Follow your pasta dinner with a cup of espresso and a serving of homemade tiramisù, or enjoy it for a holiday dessert. It's delicious all on its own.Food52This recipe was inspired by my maternal grandmother, an amazing woman, and a real mentor to me in the kitchen. She taught me so much through her love of food and cooking. She loved preparing full meals for her large extended family, which she did until she was ninety years old. I can't recall a single conversation with her that didn't begin with us both discussing what we had cooked (and eaten!) that day. - cookinginvictoria Many of the dishes that my grandmother cooked celebrated her Mexican heritage. As a child, I remember her making homemade flour tortillas on her immense gas stove, which was a novelty to me at the time. Everyone else I knew, including my mother, cooked on electric ranges. My grandmother also made red chile enchiladas, posole, and tamales. But her most acclaimed dish (at least to me, my sister and my cousins) was her pork green chile. This is not fancy food by any means, but simple and rustic Tex-Mex home cooking. Many years ago, I asked her for the recipe. She told me about the ingredients in the dish, but she didn't give me any real measurements -- it was a little bit of this, a little bit of that. I'm not sure she ever really measured ingredients -- she was an intuitive cook. Over the years, I have made my own version of her green chile. It is not quite my grandmother's recipe, but I like to think that if she were here, she would recognize it. When my grandmother made her green chile, she mostly used pork chops. I like to use two different cuts of pork -- stew meat from the hip or shoulder of the pig and side ribs for a richer, more porky flavor. My grandmother always preferred Hatch chiles, which I am the first to admit are the best green chiles in the world. However, one of the drawbacks of living in Canada is that Hatch chiles are impossible to get here. So now I add two different types of chiles to make this dish -- Poblanos for their mild and smoky flavor and Anaheims for their heat. If you can source Hatch chiles, by all means use them instead. When my grandmother made this dish, she would bring a steaming bowl of green chile to the table, and we would eat it like a stew. She would serve plenty of her homemade tortillas for sopping up the delicious juices as well as rice and pinto beans on the side. When I make this dish for my own family, I like to stuff flour tortiillas with black beans, chopped avocado, diced tomatoes, julienned radishes, grated Cheddar cheese, and chopped cilantro. I then make smothered burritos and top each stuffed tortilla with lots of green chile. Another great way to use this chile (green chile is truly versatile!) is to make huevos rancheros. Eggs and chile are one of my favorite food combinations. I love how a soft egg yolk tastes when it melds with spicy aromatic, porky green chile. Served with a soft tortilla to absorb all of the chile's juices, this is the kind of breakfast, brunch or dinner that to me is truly sublime.Food.comI had french toast the first time when I was 10 years old and my aunt from America came over to Malta for a holiday. She Cooked the french toast for her children and me and served it with ketchup. This has nothing to do with her version of french toast which was the regular kind, but rather a quick meal in itself that can be prepared well ahead of time and baked at the last minute. This dish looks like pizza but without the effort. I always have toast bread in the house and this is perfect to use up the bread especially when it isnt so fresh anymore. feel free to change the toppings according to what you have at home, such as ham and cheese, olives, salami and cheese etc. Please do try this recipe and tell me what you think.Food52Before I began my career as a publicist, I spent the age of 15-21 as a waitress in restaurants which ranged from greasy spoon coffee shops to high end French couture restaurants. All these years later, I still have very fond memories of hanging out in the kitchen watching the chefs and line cooks puff up perfect soufflés, julienne a bucket of some exotic vegetable or sauce up a chicken fried steak. I really enjoyed watching the assembly line of prep and putting together of ingredients to be plated and toted out to the dining room. I learned about wines as my customers ordered bottles and gave me sips to experience along with them. The walk-in was a particularly interesting place, not only to catch my breath for a moment of solitude, but to steal a nibble of something that may have been forbidden for the wait staff to eat. I remember a giant English trifle of which attracted my spoon, dish and I into the refrigerator a few more times than I probably should. Aside from helping my Mom in her kitchen as a kid, these were the places where I was really was bitten by the food bug. Just curious really, I suppose. I learned that my preconceived notions were not foregone conclusions – “you mean there is no chicken in a chicken fried steak?” An aspect of myself which lives on today in my publicity work, I loved to make anything eccentric mainstream; once I learned what a coulibiac actually was, we couldn’t keep it in the kitchen. Many recipes came from those years which I hastily penned down on cocktail napkins and to this day, keep in a notebook, Scotch-taped to a three hole-punched piece of wrinkled paper. My apple tarte tartin is one, for which I am known to make every year for Christmas. And, so, upon you telling me `about your new blog, Amanda, and seeing you have a recipe submission button -- I’m contributing my high-fat, high-heaven apple dish to your community. Congrats on Food52; it’s beautiful. Along with William Safire’s great word soliloquies, I’m sad that you’re no longer at the NYT. I have relished your slightly quirky and always elegant take on the edible for the paper and magazine, but this seems like a wonderful endeavor. And, well, you are irreplaceable, so too bad for them! Alyson’s Apple Tarte Tartin 6 large green apples (in my opinion, the tartness of green is so much better than reds) 14 tablespoons salted butter (don’t listen to cooks who say you must bake with sweet butter – I like the salt) 2/3 cup white sugar 7 tablespoons brown sugar Crust: 2 cups flour (sift it!) 1 teaspoon salt 5 tablespoons lard 7-10 tablespoons ice cold water Or Use Pepperidge Farm’s Filo Dough (mucho easier, faster and perfectly delicious) Glaze: ½ cup white sugar ¼ cup water Condiment: Heavy cream Powdered sugar Cut apples in half. Cut out the cores in a “V” shape. Cut off both ends so they are square. Peel them. Combine butter, brown and white sugar into a thick paste. Divide in half. Using a high-sided iron Dutch oven, smush the butter mixture thickly on the bottom and sides of the iron. Note: you can use other kinds of pans, but the heavier the better and the sides should be a minimum of twice the height of the apples. Believe me, it took me years to figure out the perfection, specifically, of using a Dutch oven for this. If it overflows, the caramelizing procedure will create an incredible mess in your oven and you’ll create such a thick smoke in the house, you’ll smell it for weeks. You might even attract the fire department, which, if you’re single, may not be a bad thing…. Arrange apples with one of the cut, squared sides down, front to back until they are packed together in a petal like fashion around the edges of the Dutch oven. Think of how bodies might be squished together for a photo with people’s back’s pressed against other’s chests. There should be no space between them and tightly packed in. Do the same in a circle inside this row toward the center of the pan, until all apples are packed in on their sides. Take the rest of the butter/sugar paste and crumble over the apples. There should be plenty of paste; be generous with it. For your own dough, sift together flour and salt. Cut in lard and toss with a fork until combined. Add tablespoons (one at a time) of iced cold water and toss to form a loose dough. Gather dough into ball and roll out into ¼” thickness. Cut dough to cover apples (easiest to use the Dutch oven or baking dish cover to measure!). Cover applies with dough, tucking edges between the apples and the side of the pan. Slit dough in center to air to escape. Now, take the batteries out of your smoke alarms and make sure you oven is lined with foil. Preheat oven to 450. Bake, uncovered for 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Remove dish from oven and increase heat to 550. Cover dish and return to oven and bake for one hour. To check is tartin is done, tilt dish and liquid should have caramelized and look like dark brown honey. Remove from oven and cool. DO NOT REFRIGERATE, otherwise, you’ll never get it out of the pan. Keep it at room temperate for a couple of hours until pan is cool enough to touch with bare hands. Put a large serving plate over the Dutch oven. Over the sink – flip it. Let it sit until all the apples fall onto the plate. Carefully remove the Dutch oven and pray the apples are still in a nice petal-like pattern. If some are still stuck, carefully scrape out and try to fit into the pattern. If not, no worries, it’ll taste the same. I am famous for my crooked cakes, but also for how amazing they taste! Now you must refrigerate the tartin, which should now be seated on top of the dough. You must get the apples cool enough to grab the glaze and let it harden into a candy like texture. An hour should be enough, just make sure the apples are cool to the touch before adding the glaze. Combine ½ cup white sugar and a bit of water in a heavy small saucepan. Cook on high heat on stove until if caramelized. It should take 5-8 minutes or so, it will slightly smoke and turn color to a dark brown. As it starts to turn from a golden honey to a dark honey color and smoke a bit, turn down the heat and let it transform into a dark brown honey like color. It may appear that it’s burning -- it is actually, but there is a fine line between caramelized and burnt. Pour immediately over the tartin. The coolness of the apples will grab the glaze to harden into a candy like texture and hold the apples together. Place heavy cream into metal or glass bowl (not plastic as it will not firm up). Place hand whipper in at high speed until the cream begins to turn from liquid to a firm whipped cream texture. Add a bit of sugar to taste to the sweetness you like. Go easy on, as the sugar in the apples is intense and so a more plain cream is preferable as a condiment. Serve and repeat the story above. Tell them it was you. They’ll believe it, especially since by dessert time, your guests should have had enough wine to smile at anything you tell them.Yummly_Tender, flavorful turkey breast, made in under 45 minutes cook time from start to finish!_ If you’ve spent any time perusing the Internet for recipes in the last year or so, chances are you’ve come across the Instant Pot. As one of the newest trends in home appliances, the Instant Pot is marketed as being a multi-use pressure cooker capable of cooking a variety of foods with cooking times two to six times faster than traditional methods. It’s safe, energy-efficient, and versatile, and in recent years has been finding its way into the shopping carts of home cooks and professional chefs alike. _The Instant Pot: What can't it do?_ A quick browse on Pinterest shows that the Instant Pot is the Renaissance Man of small kitchen appliances. Users have been testing the limits of its capabilities, making everything from whole chickens, to mac n’ cheese, to corn on the cob, to cheesecake in record time with this do-all electric pressure cooker. The Instant Pot is exactly the kind of timesaving, multi-purpose appliance that home cooks of fifty years ago would have imagined having in the future, which is fitting, considering it looks like a small spaceship landed on your counter. _Start simple_ Depending on what model of Instant Pot you own, it may have up to ten different functions available, including "slow cooker" and even "yogurt." This turkey breast recipe uses only one, the standard “pressure cook” setting for high-pressure cooking, making it an easy and approachable recipe perfect for new Instant Pot users, or for anyone who is looking for a low-maintenance weeknight meal. The only hands-on preparation involved is seasoning the turkey breast halves, which takes approximately two minutes. The Instant Pot does the remainder of the work, and a savory and moist turkey main dish is on the table less than forty minutes later. _What is the best kind of turkey breast to buy?_ This recipe calls specifically for bone-in, skin-on turkey breasts, which are both more flavorful and economical than boneless turkey breasts sold as skinless cutlets. As the turkey cooks, the fat from the skin renders into the bottom of the Instant Pot, just like with roasted turkey in the oven. If time allows, these drippings can be used to make a quick gravy on the stove top. The Instant Pot even has a “keep warm” function that will keep the turkey breasts from going cold while you whip up the gravy, ensuring everything is served together at the perfect temperature. If you’re in a rush or just don’t feel like standing over a stove, rest assured these pressure-cooker turkey breasts are delicious just as they are! Whether you make this recipe for a weeknight main course with mashed potatoes, as part of your Sunday meal prep, or even a traditional American Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner, cranberry sauce and all, we promise these near-effortless Instant Pot Turkey Breasts will be a hit at the table! The recipe is a Yummly original created by [Sara Mellas](https://www.yummly.com/dish/author/Sara-Mellas).Food and WineAt the Culinary Institute of America, Egg Day occurs during Skills II, the class that comes right after students learn how to make stock and just before they’re expected to put a whole meal together. Egg Day’s polarizing qualities elicit a variety of superlatives: “Egg Day is the WORST.” “Egg Day is the BEST.” “Egg Day made me cry.” “I drank a whole cup of hollandaise sauce on Egg Day—I couldn’t stop myself.” That single day is one of the rites of passage of culinary school; one that upperclassmen like to swap war stories about, and new students lay awake at night fearing.What makes Egg Day so momentous? For me, it was my instructor, Chef McCue. Dave McCue was a graduate of the CIA who had gone on to have a career as a “working chef,” the kind who actually cooks food every day. After many years, he came back to the CIA as a chef-instructor to teach young cooks to stand up straight and be better and faster. The school outlines a curriculum, but it’s up to each instructor to execute the lesson and uphold the standards of properly cooked food. The way to learn cooking is through practice, and Chef McCue instills repetition. “The egg came first,” he assured me. If you can cook an egg properly, then you can move on to the chicken.For Egg Day, most classes receive a case of eggs to be split among the twenty students. A case of eggs is 30 dozen. Chef McCue orders THREE. I’ll do the math for you—that’s 1080 eggs for Egg Day. Chef obviously doesn’t mess around. He hopes they won’t all be needed, but eggs are the perfect, and cheapest, way to teach proper technique. There’s cracking the eggs correctly, having a place to toss the shells, the best tool used to beat them, the type and quantity of seasoning added before, during, and after cooking, how to heat a pan, when to add the fat, all the visual, aural, aromatic clues of coagulating protein, the essentials of proper presentation, and on and on and on.To pass Egg Day and move to Skills III, each student must cook eggs eight ways, three times in a row. If your soft scramble is a little too hard on the third try, you start over and make it three times again until all three in a row are perfect.This isn’t a mild form of torture intended for Chef’s enjoyment. (In fact, he takes a bite of almost every egg to check for seasoning and temperature—joke’s on him!). He knows when the students graduate, they will be asked to cook an omelet when they stage at restaurants. How they approach the task, from prepping their mis en place to presenting the dish, will show their level of finesse and determine whether they get the job. “How they roll an omelet is like a resume,” Chef McCue says.Having submitted my edible resume countless times to (thankfully!) rave reviews, I can look back with gratitude on Egg Day, and Chef’s meticulous training.Yummly_Homemade chocolate cake takes time, effort and patience… unless you have a mug, 5 minutes and a microwave._ This tasty mug cake recipe is simple, easy and can be customized to suit your sweet tooth. Chocolate Cake in a Cup, perfect for a serving size of one, delivers a big treat with a small effort. We like to eat it still warm, with vanilla ice cream. We're also not above "frosting" it with Nutella — or a scoop of peanut butter for rich chocolate-peanut butter perfection. _Can you really bake a chocolate cake in the microwave?_ An entire cake? Nope! But the magic of microwave cookery is in full effect for this single-serving recipe—it works great for one when you want a quick treat. If you want to double the recipe it'll work just fine, but you'll need to divide the final batter between two mugs and increase cooking time by 15 seconds if you cook both cakes at once. _Do I need a special kind of cup or mug for this to work?_ All the vessel has to be is microwave-safe, more or less mug shaped (i.e. not flat), and able to hold 8 ounces. And because the entire recipe is made right in the microwave-safe mug, clean up is easy and fast. _Does it taste the same as a cake baked in the oven?_ This cake is a little different, texture-wise. It's a bit denser because the microwaves cook the cake differently than the heat of a traditional oven. The effect is more lava cake, less birthday cake. But what you trade off in texture you get back in speed! What other cake gets "baked" in less than two minutes? This chocolate mug cake is the perfect option when you're craving a delicious sweet treat and don't want to wait 45 minutes. _Will it really rise? Doesn't cake need baking powder or baking soda?_ While most cakes require a helpful lift from baking soda or baking powder, in this recipe whisking the egg into the small amount of batter gives it enough puff from the air incorporated into the egg white that the cake still rises. _What if I don't have one of the ingredients? Is this a strict recipe?_ All baking, even when it's done in the microwave, is a more precise than regular cooking because of the chemical reactions involved. However, see the next two questions below for exceptions… _Mini chocolate chips? Do I need them? Must they be mini?_ You can leave out chocolate chips if you don't have any, but using two types of chocolate makes for a richer, more flavorful cake. Mini chocolate chips will suspend most evenly throughout the batter. But if you only have regular sized chips, stir a few into the batter and then sprinkle the rest across the top right before you pop it in the microwave. Some will sink, but not all. And use whatever kind of chips you like! Butterscotch is a satisfying counterpoint to the chocolate, as are white chocolate chips, or try peppermint chips during the holidays. _Do I have to use both brown and white sugar?_ Using these two kinds of sugar gives the cake a more complex sweetness and interesting flavor—and be sure to gently pack the brown sugar into the measuring spoon for maximum deliciousness (and accuracy)! So, for the best mug cake, use both. But if you only have white sugar, that can work too. _Is this safe for kids? Could a child make it?_ While it's always best to have an adult present in the kitchen, this microwave mug cake is an excellent starter recipe for a young cook eager to bake something by her- or himself! No hot oven or flame on the stove makes it a no-worry lesson in following directions, counting, and the wonders of kitchen chemistry. _Can I customize this cake? What if I want to incorporate some mix-ins?_ Go wild! Give a nod to chocolate's heritage— it's indigenous to Latin America and was originally cultivated by the ancient Mayans— by making a Mexican hot chocolate cake: Add 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and a dash of cayenne to the dry ingredients. Or make a s’mores cake: Stir 1 tablespoon of mini-marshmallows into the prepared batter just before baking and serve with graham crackers.Food NetworkI have a perfectly justifiable weakness for any recipe that comes to me passed on through someone else's family. This is not just sentimentality; I hope not even sentimentality, actually, since I have always been contemptuously convinced that sentimentality is the refuge of those without proper emotions. Yes, I do infer meaning from the food that has been passed down generations and then entrusted to me, but think about it: the recipes that last, do so for a reason. And on top of all that, there is my entrancement with culinary Americana. I just hear the word meatloaf and I feel all old world, European irony and corruption seep from me as I will myself into a Thomas Hart Benton painting. And then I eat it: the dream is dispelled and all I'm left with is a mouthful of compacted, slab-shaped sawdust and major, major disappointment. So now you understand why I am so particularly excited about this recipe. It makes meatloaf taste like I always dreamt it should. Even though this is indeed Ed's Mother's Meatloaf, the recipe as is printed below is my adaptation of it. My father-in-law always used to tell a story about asking his mother for instructions on making pickles. "How much vinegar do I need?" he asked. "Enough", she answered. Ed's mother's recipe takes a similar approach; I have added contemporary touches, such as being precise about measurements. But for all that, cooking can never be truly precise: bacon will weigh more or less, depending on how thickly or thinly it is sliced, for example. And there are many other similar examples: no cookbook could ever be long enough to contain all possible variants for any one recipe. But what follows are reliable guidelines, you can be sure of that. I do implore you, if you can, to get your meat from a butcher. I have made this recipe quite a few times, comparing mincemeat that comes from the butcher and mincemeat that comes from various supermarkets and there is no getting round the fact that freshly minced butcher's meat is what makes the meatloaf melting (that, and the onions, but the onions alone can't do it). The difficulty with supermarket mince is not just the dryness as you eat, but the correlation which is that the meatloaf has a crumblier texture, making it harder to slice. I am happy just to have the juices that drip from the meatloaf as it cooks as far as gravy goes, and not least because the whole point of this meatloaf for me is that I can count on a good half of it to eat cold in sandwiches for the rest of the week. (And you must be aware, it is my duty to make you aware, that a high-sided roasting tin makes for more juices than a shallow one.) But if you wanted to make enough gravy to cover the whole shebang hot, then either make an onion gravy and pour the meat juices in at the end or fashion a quick stovetop BBQ gravy. By that, I mean just get out a saucepan, put in it 1.76 ounces/50g dark muscovado sugar, 4.23 ounces/125ml beef stock, 4 tablespoons each of Dijon mustard, soy sauce, tomato paste or puree and redcurrant jelly and 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, to taste. Warm and whisk and pour into a jug to serve. Ed instructed me to eat kasha with this, which is I imagine how his mother served it, but I really feel that if you haven't grown up on kasha - a kind of buckwheat polenta - then you will all too easily fail to see its charm. I can't see any argument against mashed potato, save the lazy one, but I don't mind going cross-cultural and making up a panful of polenta; I use the instant kind, but replace the water that the packet instructions advise with chicken stock. And as with the beef stock needed for the gravy suggested above, I am happy for this to be bought rather than homemade.Food52For our family stuffed bell peppers is one of those classic comfort food dishes. It is fragrant, delicious, filling, easy to make, a real crowd pleaser and is perfect for both family meals and entertaining. You have to love a recipe where you get your meat, vegetables, and starch all in one delicious, package. I rarely make them exactly the same way. I use different set of herbs and seasoning depending on what strikes my fancy looking through the spice cabinet, what kind of meat I have or just want to make a meatless version. I like to use red and yellow bell peppers because they are sweeter then green ones; use the type you like best. This filling is great stuffed in cabbage or grape leaves, in zucchini or eggplants. I cut the peppers in half lengthwise, so the filling ratio is much more and they cook evenly. The only request I have is, never put eggs, breadcrumbs and cooked rice, this filling isn’t a meatloaf. A very flavorful tomato sauce, the best meat, a lot of vegetables and fresh herbs will make this dish irresistible. In this recipe I used beef and lamb, kind-of a Greek-Style version and thought that a combination of mint and dill will work perfect; it really does.
