11/19/2023 0 Comments Chicken black bean soupThe other VERY important things is that you cannot add salt to a recipe with dry beans until they are soft. I can't speak to the hard water problem, but my old roommate used to cover dry beans with a bunch of water and cook 'em all day without even a pre-soak, and there was no problem- I'm guessing she just used high. I also don't think there'd be a problem cooking black beans on high for the whole time. If you or someone else can be there to turn it down, it's ideal to keep it on high long enough to boil (1.5-2 hours at least?) and then turn it down to low for as long as you want. Two different people mentioned having hard beans after putting their beans on low and then high. Stir in the 1/2 cup of sour cream before serving, and garnish with shredded cheese and avocado slices.If you don't have one, scoop out 2 cups of the soup and carefully blend in your traditonal blender. If you'd like to thicken the broth (I did this), you can use your immersible blender (I love that thing) to blend a bit of the beans and chicken.If you are using beans you soaked overnight, canned beans, or pre-cooked beans, you can cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-5-similar to normal soup-cooking time. It took a crazy long time for the beans to soften, but they did. Stir, but don't disturb the beans-let them stay at the bottom of the pot, closest to the heating element.Pour in the corn and mushrooms, and add the cumin.Put in the chicken, and add the broth and salsa.Or, you can quick soak the beans by pouring boiling water over them and let them sit for an hour or two. Soak the black beans in enough water to cover and another 2 inches overnight. The ones Id bought had NO instructions as to how to use them. I used dried beans and Amanda Beths instructions gave me the confidence to cook them before putting them into the crockpot. As for the black beans: loved them, and I will be experimenting with using them in other dishes too. The cumin was a great ingredient! I love cumin in Middle Eastern dishes, but Ive never thought to use it in soups before. Id only just tracked down the elusive liquid smoke and was keen to use it! Just as well I wasnt making cakes! The soup was absolutely delicious: very rich and everyone loved the combination of flavours. I used 6 cloves of garlic (instead of garlic powder), included all the juice from four cans of tomatoes, substituted 2 large eggplants (skin on) for the corn (Im not too keen on corn and I had some beautiful eggplants just past their peak that needed to be used immediately) and I added parsley, 2 cups of wine and a couple of drops of liquid smoke. I must confess to having made a few changes to the recipe, a combination of what I had on hand, what needed to be used and personal preferences. Very simply: the frozen portion I put into Tupperware Rock N Serve containers, then when I wanted to use it, I allowed it to thaw at room temperature, and heated it in the microwave. Both portion one and portion two the frozen then thawed portion were equally delicious. I at least doubled the recipe: I ended up with 2 crockpots full, so I kind of lost sight of the ratio of the ingredients. Because I made this soup for the Freeze It! Tag Game, I made a HUGE quantity.

11/19/2023 0 Comments Vintage edwin m knowles chinaĮarly cinematic and television representations of doctors typically characterized the practice of medicine as being "in safe (male) hands," with 90% of doctors on television through 1989 being male. Solomon Posen had collected a list of books with "a doctors as a principal figure" which he says resulted in a list of over 10,000 works as of 2005. Shakespeare created a doctor in his play Macbeth (c 1603) with a "great many good doctors" having appeared in literature by the 1890s and, in the early 1900s, the "rage for novel characters" included a number of "lady doctors".

This is the same way that Facebook has treated privacy issues for many years and you can see how that has worked out for them.Acceptable ads are only a part of Google’s overall advertising revenue, the remainder of which will be blocked because they are not “acceptable ads.” Because Google pays the parent company of AdBlock Plus, Eyeo, millions of dollars a year to let some Google ads through AdBlock Plus and AdBlock unless you know enough to opt-out of the acceptable ads program, this effectively reduces Google’s actual losses to the extent that ad block users don’t know enough to opt-out of acceptable ads. In Europe and Asia, ad block rates are significantly higher. As Alphabet stated in it’s 2018 SEC Form 10-K filing: New and existing technologies could affect our ability to customize ads and/or could block ads online, which would harm our business.In 2018, the U.S. All other Alphabet business units combined accounted for only 14% of total revenue. Google’s 2018 yearly advertising revenue of $136.8 billion accounted for 86% of all of the revenue of its parent company, Alphabet. This gives them plausible deniability both internally and externally, to cover the real reason for this change.Manifest v3 needs time to bake in the developer community before it goes live worldwide, which I would estimate will be early 2020, but if they continue with manifest v3 as it is now, it’s likely a significant number of users who rely on ad blocking will migrate to another browser, such as Firefox or Brave. They claim this change is necessary for security reasons because some Chrome web extensions abuse the webRequest API to create malware. They cripple ad blockers by deprecating the chrome.webRequest API and replacing that with their manifest v3 API. Specifically, Google is changing Chrome in such a way as to cripple ad blockers, allowing more Google ads through. Google is leveraging the control it has over Chrome, the market-leading web browser it owns, which accounts for 70% of the 2019 global desktop web browser market, to protect its core business: ad revenue. Expect to see tech-savvy users leading the migration to more private browsers. 11/19/2023 0 Comments Pitcher margaritas near meI like to mix up all my ingredients and then pour them into the serving pitcher and chill in the fridge. Juice the limes right into a large glass measuring cup or container. Note that you’ll typically get about 2 tablespoons of juice from each lime (about one ounce) but I’d have extras on hand in case I need or want more juice. You can get a juicer here: Hand held citrus juicer. It is small, stores in a draw and after trying fresh lime juice margaritas you’ll be using that gadget all the time. Right here is the best investment you can make to juice all your citrus. (Stand back, they are going to squirt and that’s a good thing!) and finally 4) use a hand held juicer. The easiest way to do this is to 1) pop them in the microwave (five at a time for 30 seconds) 2) roll them on the counter top, pressing on them hard, to break up all those membranes and get all the juices flowing 3) cut them in half diagonally. They are often hard and they can take a little love to get the juices flowing. Hey, you’ve just invited guests over for the best Margarita ever – prove it by going the extra mile.įirst, limes can be a pain in the neck to juice. Sure, it is more work to juice all those limes, but oh so worth it. There are other brands, but triple sec is my liquor of choice. Triple sec is just an orange flavored liquor. Buy the best tequila and triple sec you can afford. This is a straightforward recipe that requires the best ingredients. In a pitcher, combine the lime juice, orange juice, tequila, and agave nectar pour over the ice cubes in each glass, then garnish with a slice of lime and serve at once.NOTE: This is a classic recipe that needs no introduction.Rub a lime wedge around the edges of each cocktail glass, then dip each one lightly in the salt/lime mixture.Zest a lime and combine the zest with the salt place this mixture onto a plate.How to Make Low-Calorie Pitcher Margaritas in 3 Easy Steps And, kosher salt sticks better to the rim of glassware much better than a plastic cup. I find margaritas (or any cocktail to tell the truth) are best when served in glass ware since it gets really cold when adding the ice for the cocktail.And, yes, I said to put it INTO the margaritas…but just a tiny pinch. Stir in a teeny tiny pinch of salt to your pitcher margaritas – this mellows any bitterness in the cocktail ingredients and also enhances the flavors of citrus.This is what makes agave nectar pair so well with margaritas.Īgave nectar is a bit sweeter than sugar, a bit similar to the taste of honey, yet not! If you can’t find agave nectar in the aisle where the honey is located at your grocer, search their health market – it is sometimes considered a specialty ingredient.Īgave nectar is a concentrated syrup that comes from the juice of the agave plant which is also where tequila comes from.I often add club soda to a glass of wine in the summer to make a wine spritzer. Club soda is a calorie free, carbonated beverage that is flavorless – it takes on the flavor of whatever you add it to. A great way to stretch a margarita is to add club soda, turning it into a margarita spritzer.Use a citrus zester for removing the zest from the limes – this makes the job effortless! If you enjoy Asian foods, you can also use your citrus zester to zest fresh ginger root. Plus, not only does the lime zest look beautiful when combined with the salt on the rim of the glasses, it gives a really vibrant flavor to the margaritas. The zest of citrus (lemons, limes, oranges, as an example) is more powerful than the actual juice – so be sure you don’t skip it, even if the recipes calls for just a tiny amount – it’s worth it. Don’t skip the lime zest in this recipe! Nearly any type of citrus zest is a very powerful ingredient, just as the lime zest in this cocktail recipe.

The house was just seven years old and was furnished exquisitely but their lives are worth more than all that. The assessor said the over time the grass around the chimney because more and more dry, like charcoal and then just ignites on its own. It could have been sparks spread by the felt fire which was raging that night or the heat from round the chimney. There was a felt fire that night and because it was winter they had also made fire in the fireplace. They would have been trapped and you can imagine the consequences. My daughter’s house with a thatch roof burnt down and I thank God that they were not inside. I would just like to add that a thatch roof is very, very dangerous. Thank you for the informative article but I would like you to stress more on the dangers and I agree it looks very beautiful. Readers' Comments Have a comment about this article? Email us now. Not only is thatch beautiful to look at, but also very practical and if well installed and maintained, it can be one of the most durable and attractive roofs on the market. Any sparks that fly out of the chimney should get caught in the mesh rather than land on the roof possibly causing a fire. The chimney must be at least one meter higher than the roof and have a spark arrestor, made from stainless steel wire mesh, installed 700mm from the top of the chimney. Also make sure that all the joints between the bricks are well sealed so no smoke or flame can escape and cause problems. If you have a chimney serving a fireplace in your home, ensure that the walls of the chimney are at least 220mm thick so that when the fire is burning, the outer skin of the chimney remains cool. This can be solved by putting in two masts or even a spike can be installed on the chimney to cover the area not covered by the spike. If the house is very high or large, the mast would have to be very high to cover the whole area. These conductors need to be in accordance with the SABS Code of practice. If any work needs to be done on the thatch, always use an experienced thatcher, and do not allow any workmen to move around on the thatch, unless completely necessary.Īll houses with thatch roofs need to have lightning conductors installed to protect them from being struck by lightning and consequently burning down. This is the most vulnerable part of a thatch roof and needs to be constantly maintained. Ensure that the apex is always kept in good condition and that it remains completely watertight at all times. One can get it covered with a fibreglass hood or the old method of mortar will also do the trick. The weakest point of any thatch roof is the ridge. Wire mesh can also be used, however, in time it will rust. If you need to protect your thatch, it is wise to cover it with a plastic mesh that will keep the birds away. Thatch is very vulnerable to being stripped by birds, especially weavers that can really destroy a roof within a year. If thatch is well laid, it will be virtually maintenance free. Most other roofs need to be insulated after they have been installed, while thatch roofs automatically offer excellent insulating properties, making it ideal for our hot local climate to keep the interiors of our homes cool in summer and warm in winter. Thatch is the best insulated roofing available to man. If the roof is properly laid and the right grass is used the average thatch roof can last for approximately 25 years, however, in the right climatic conditions, it would be able to last for up to 30 years. Believe it or not, thatch is also protected by sea spray as the salt sterilises the grass and its contents. Thatch that is well laid and found in very cold winter climates can last very much longer, because during the winter months the thatch actually freezes and all insect and fungal life found therein consequently dies. The leaves from the surrounding trees will also drop onto the roof and keep it damp for even longer, which will also lead to rotting. If surrounding trees keep the roof in the shade for most of the day, the grass will have a much shorter lifespan than those in the full sun. If the thatch gets wet, it needs to dry out as soon as possible to prevent rot or fungal growth. If you have opted for a thatch roof, it is important to ensure that you are not building near to or under any trees. The best time for collecting thatching grass is in winter when it is bone dry. The grass has to be dry and must have lost all its seed when it is harvested for thatching. The finer grass from KwaZulu-Natal is preferred over the slightly thicker stemmed grasses from the Highveld. Generally, finer grasses are the best for thatching, as long as the stem is less than four millimetres in diameter, as the thicker stemmed grasses are not suitable for thatching. 11/19/2023 0 Comments Daytona beach news journal saleItems include pet strollers for up to 150-pound dogs, as well as cats, birds, rabbits, ferrets, raccoons, skunks and other critters.
