Case study, Nutella supposedly is made up of:

Low carb alternative could be:

You can not add any water or alcohol based liquids (like vanilla extract) to this or it will seize!

I normally lightly roast the hazelnuts to dry out any water and bring out the flavor.

A malanger is a must to grind down everything. Make sure all the ingredients are in a molten form if possible.

Unfortunately the exact recipe is not longer known. My grandmother just mix this together without a written recipe. Because she lived in Germany I’m sure most of the ingredients were a little different, for example the used Herring. I’m not sure about the eggs, however I love food with eggs and some receipe I looked at had some. I know only for sure that she boiled the onions and used Miracle Whip had apples and pickles in the salad.

• 32 oz Vita Herring
• 1/2 small can Miracle Whip
• 2 medium apple
• Lemon juice
• 1 medium red onion
• 5 kosher dill pickle spares
• 4 hardboiled egg
• Celery
• Salt
• Pepper
• Mustard
• Dill

Wash the Herring and only use the fish pieces.

Cut everything else in small pieces. I added a little bit of lemon juice over the apple cubes to prevent discoloration.

Boil only the onion cubes in vinegar water.

Mix everything together.

Taiyaki is a filled Japanese pan cake. The traditional filling is red bean past. I’m sure this recipe will also work for standard American pan cakes and waffles. I guess it would be possible to make a low carb black soy bean past, but I had some low carb nutella on hand that needed to be used.

I ordered this pan: Amazon link.

I used this recipe as a starting point: source link.

The little filled pan cakes are very good tasting. The cake part reminds me a little bit of waffel house. As next step I would like to experiment with different fillings. I would like to try a lemon custard or a piece of chocolate next.

Ingredients

Batter:

• 112g (4 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 4 eggs
• 10 g (2 tsp) vanilla extract
• 15 g Erythritol
• 18 g Carbalose
• 18 g resistant wheat starch
• 10g baking powder
• 1 dash cinnamon
• 4g (1 tsp) optonal Konjac Glucomannnan Powder for American pancakes

Filling:

• 60g Low carb nutella

Instructions

1. Mix all the ingredients in a blender.
2. Heat up pan to 350 F (on my stovetop I set it on 3 (range is 1-9)). Put some oil in each mold and rub with paper towel.
3. Pour batter into the fish molds until it reaches the tail. Move mold around to fill the fin and tail.
4. Drop some low carb filling in deepest part of each mold, I used 5 g low carb nutella per fish. Press down with finger until everything is covered with batter. If needed pour a little more batter over filling.
5. Close the mold and flip it immediately, turn around so batter goes in all spaces. Let cook for 2 minutes. Flip back and let cook for 1 more minute.
6. Remove Taiyaki from mold and repeat. This makes 6 batches or 12 fish for me.

This post is about the PiShow 2.8″ Resistive Touch Display from Seeedstudio. I found this little 65K colors and 320×240 pixel touch display for $20 at one of there sales.

The documentation on there web page is not easy to understand and everything you need is already part of the standard operating system image.

I used some existing device tree overlay and merged them and changed the pins and adopted the settings from the seeed documentation.

The scree is showing the picture, the touch is working with my finger and the four buttons on the side are working too. I would call this a success.

Thanks to @notro for his guidance to make this example and his work in this area in general.

I used this script to install the device tree compiler dtc. After the compiler was installed this command creates the dtbo file:

sudo dtc -@ -I dts -O dtb -o /boot/overlays/pishow28.dtbo pishow28.dts

The last step is to add “dtoverlay=pishow28” to the end of the “/boot/config.txt” file.

Plus the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-ads7846-cal.conf file that swaps the X and Y axis:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Touchscreen"
    MatchProduct "ADS7846 Touchscreen"
    Option "InvertX" "1"
    Option "InvertY" "1"
    Option "SwapAxes" "0"
    Option "Calibration" "215 3800 129 3676"
EndSection

I also added one line in /etc/udev/rules.d/95-ads7846.rules file:

SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", ATTRS{name}=="ADS7846*", SYMLINK+="input/touchscreen"

As an extra I did install the frame buffer copy tool to copy the main frame buffer to the new touch display frame buffer.
