Overworked Gnocchi Dough?

I tried making gnocchi and either overworked the dough or added too much flour or did any number of things wrong and when I cooked a few testers they came out pretty gummy. Any ideas what to do with the leftover mass of dough? Got a party in 5 hours lol

We throw away 200+ lbs of clean rubber every week. I'll mail it to you for the cost of shi

Every week, my small rubber stamp factory in Minnesota sends hundreds of pounds of clean, high-quality natural rubber to the landfill. It kills me. This is the stuff trimmed off the edges of our stamps. It's soft, natural red rubber, no dirt, no contamination.

I've posted before and gotten tons of great suggestions. I've reached out to every single one. Mulch recyclers, playground surfacing, crafters, art teachers, makerspaces, you name it. Nobody wants it. Most would rather grind up dirty old tires than take clean rubber from a stamp shop. I can't make it make sense.

It's free. You just pay shipping, which works out to about $1/lb. I'll ship as much as you want. Use it for crafts, gaskets, packing material, garden mulch, art projects, whatever. I just want it to go somewhere besides a landfill.

If this resonates with you, please crosspost it to any subreddit you think might want this. Crafters, gardeners, makers, sustainability, hobbies, anything. That's the real ask.

Email nic@unitystampco.com or DM me.

Using up 2 cups of apple juice?

Hey no-scrappers! I am making a pork roast with apple juice and now have two cups of juice left over. I'm not a fan of just drinking it plain, and don't have another roast handy, so I'm wondering what other creative things I could do with it. Any thoughts welcome!

Whole BIG can diced jalepenos

So, I am an idiot and bought a whole 26 oz can of diced jalepenos thinking they were milder green chiles. What do? Would you use them the same way but a but spicier, or are there better ways to lean into what they are meant for?

Also: I am cooking for one, but I am happy to freeze a lot for future me.

What sort of greens are these?

Reposting because my photo didn't load earlier!

We got a ton of these donated this week and I have about 8 of these bunches. They taste a little mustardy, but look super lettuce-y

I'm wondering if y'all think these would work well cooked down (and probably frozen to use in future soups etc)

Ideas for egg white

I always end up using more yolk then white and I freeze some of the white to use if needed (normally suggest to my partner to make egg whites for breakfast but he always forgets it there) but I have too much of it in the freezer and honestly rarly gets used so apart from food I could cook with it (which I normally don’t have the time or energy to do) anyone got any other uses

What to do with leftover olive oil from marinated veggies?

No meat touched this, so I’d like to save it somehow. Seems like a waste to just toss it.

This... Isn't a papaya as I know them. What do I do with this guy? It never ripened yellow just started getting soft and green.

Mushy rice noodles?

I made a dish with rice noodles that didn't go well...I think I must have overcooked them, and then the "sauce," which involved peanut butter, was virtually tasteless but added a pasty texture to the overly soft noodles.

I added a different sauce that fixed the taste problem, but the texture is truly terrible. I tried frying some of them today, thinking that would help them keep what little structural integrity they have, but it turned out even worse.

Any idea on how to salvage these from compost? Is there some kind of...soup...I could make? The flavor profile of these leftovers is definitely Thai, lots of fish sauce and cilantro.

Does zucchini freeze well?

Specifically, I'm thinking about shredding a bunch of zucchini, then freezing it for later. I love to throw it into all kinds of dishes to bulk up the veggies. Would it turn to mush if I did that?
