Then, in a culinary showdown reminiscent of an Iron Chef battle, our grand finale sees Chefs Esther and Justin going head to head at Anajak Thai - each crafting their version of a spicy Thai taco. They even secure a marinade paste crafted with Maeng Da, or giant water bugs, a regional delicacy in Thailand that could just be the ingredient of the year. Next, they visit Silom Supermarket in the heart of LA’s Thai Town, sourcing fresh and unique ingredients intended to infuse their tacos with bursts of flavors. From fermented crab papaya salad to sai oua, a flavorful herb-infused pork sausage, and spicy chili dips like nam prik num and nam prik ong, this sensory exploration aims to stoke the fires of inspiration for their tacos.

The center of the hipbelt ideally rests on the hip bone crest (pelvis) in order to bear the bulk of the load (refer to diagram) especially on large internal frame backpacks. Defining torso length is not necessarily critical on a daypack but crucial on backpacking or alpine touring packs, as only perfect fit can warrant transfer of a bulk of the pack weight to the hips.

Wisconsin foodie episode list9/1/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Jackie: Our farm started sort of in the idyllic sense of, "Let's grow some vegetables and raise some chickens."Īnd what we found is that we literally couldn't sustain ourselves just by being farmers. My commute is walking from my house to the shed, get in my tractor, get it started, and doing chores. Rich Horbaczewski: I feel great every morning.Įvery morning that I'm not getting in a car and driving to work is a wonderful morning. We took a ride one day and drove through Green County and stumbled upon this farm. We decided that we wanted to have a farm and eventually leave the city, and just do something completely different. Very intellectual, but not fulfilling from a personal standpoint. Rich worked in sort of the database, data analytics software side of things. We're gonna make some hot sauce, we're gonna make some pepper mash, and we're gonna process a bunch of bell peppers.īoth Rich and I worked in various aspects of technology. I'm kinda looking over the last of them to make sure we got all the ripe peppers, and then we are headed off to Beloit. Well, we're out here picking some peppers. So you're not just burning your tongue you're actually eating something that's really delicious, in addition to being spicy. Most like, commercial hot sauces are made exclusively out of hot peppers, but I find that you get a lot more flavor if you add something in, like a red bell pepper and a Fresno together makes a great sauce or habanero and carrot makes a great sauce. I like to make hot sauces blended with different things. It's sweet and hot, so sweet and hot pepper and just a really different flavor than most, sort of bitter peppers. Most of what we grow for production is hot peppers. So the farm is technically about 140 acres, and we farm on a little plot of five acres here, where we grow vegetables, primarily for use in our production kitchen. I'm Jackie Gennett, and we are at the farm of Bushel & Peck's.īushel & Peck's is a retail store with a café and a food processing facility located in downtown Beloit, Wisconsin.īut we're here in Monroe, Wisconsin right now.

Quick green bean recipe9/1/2023 ![]() Knowing how to cook green beans (frozen green bean recipes) in the quickest and easiest way is simply knowing how to “saute” green beans. Then, let me know in the comments below how yours turned out, how spicy you like yours, and whether you used canned, frozen, or fresh green beans.3 I’d love to hear if this helped you? Share your thoughts in the comments below! HOW TO COOK GREEN BEANS SECRETS ![]() I hope that you and your family love this flavorful green bean recipe! Please don't forget to share, pin to Pinterest, and print for making soon. Other great pairings are my Sweetcorn Bake Corn Casserole, Buttermilk Chicken Strips, or my Garlic Butter Chicken Pasta. Goes great with dirty rice (try my Bojangles Dirty Rice) and corn recipes as well (try this Cream Style Corn recipe of mine).ĭue to their intense flavor, you don't need to serve with other spicy foods, but you certainly can. Serve these spicy green beans with chicken, pork, or beef dishes. You can also leave out the cayenne pepper until tasting and add a bit at the end if desired. If you want less spice, opt for sweet paprika instead of smoked. If you like lots of spice, you may want to add more cayenne and/or paprika. Then, instead of simply heating the green beans, you will bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer covered for 20 minutes or until beans are tender. To cook the fresh (or frozen) green beans, simply follow the directions fully and add 1 cup of chicken or beef broth. The recipe will take longer but will be equally delicious. Likewise, if you choose to use frozen green beans. You'll need more cooking time versus the canned beans (which only need to heat up), but the results will be delicious. Just break them up into bite-sized pieces and wash them. One pound of fresh beans is what you'll need. If you have access to fresh, all the better. This recipe calls for canned green beans, as that's what I had on hand. Cover the pot and simmer on low-medium heat for 20 minutes or until green beans are tender. Include one cup of chicken or beef broth along with the cayenne pepper and paprika.īring to a boil, then reduce heat to low-medium. If using fresh or frozen green beans, add beans after sauteing the first five ingredients. Mix together, cover and heat through for 10 minutes. Turn heat down to low and add green beans, cayenne pepper, and paprika. Add oil, garlic, onion, oregano, and marjoram and cook until onion begins to soften, stirring often (5-10 minutes). ![]() ![]() Preheat a heavy Dutch oven or pot to low-medium heat. 2 cans green beans (14.5 ounces each), drained (or one pound fresh).Will still be delicious this way, but this recipe was designed to be extra quick and easy for busy days. If you use fresh or frozen green beans, it will take about 20 minutes longer. This recipe calls for canned green beans, which makes it super quick (15-20 minutes from start to finish). If in question, try it milder, as you can always spice it up more if you decide you want more heat. You can use sweet paprika, alternately, if you want your green beans less spicy. I used smoked paprika, so that made it hotter. I would say that the heat in this recipe is medium to hot. Plus, you can tone down the heat or turn it up based on what your family likes. And this recipe is super simple and quick to make. These Cajun green beans are a delicious, spicy alternative to your average ho-hum green beans recipe. ![]()

![]() ![]() Just click and drag to reposition the track. You can change the position of a track by using the track grabber handles here at the head of the track. A common organizational practice in most video editing programs is to arrange your tracks so that any visible media appears on the upper tracks while any audio only media appears on the lower tracks. Content that appears on a higher track will appear in front of any content that appears on a lower track. Think of these tracks as layers of glass that you're looking down through from top to bottom. Now ScreenFlow arranges your media clips into a stack of tracks. Now if you're following along I'm in the timeline project. Now this is where you're gonna spend most of your time. Now you can change any of these properties over time by adding a video action, and we'll do that in the next movie.- In this chapter we're gonna shift our focus to refining your story by learning how to edit your movie with the ScreenFlow editor. The color controls give you basic adjustments to the color saturation, brightness, and contrast. The drop shadow checkbox will add a drop shadow projected out at an angle and color specified, twirling open this menu gives you even more control over the look of your drop shadow. The corner round slider will add a radius to the corners of your clip and any reflections that have been added. The reflection checkbox will add a semitransparent reflection under your clip and the slider adjust the opacity of the reflection. I'll reset each of these parameters back to zero. If you twirl down the cropping section, you can trim the left, right, top and bottom of your clip, and each of these sliders will allow you to trim up to 400 pixels, but you can type a value into the field to crop even further, or hold down the control key on your keyboard to enter the quick crop mode, and adjust your crop manually. The opacity slider changes the overall transparency of your clip. That'll give you more precise control over the actual rotation. Now a good trick for using these rotation dials is to click and drag out and away from the dial before you being rotating. You can either type in a value into one of the fields, or use the rotation selector to dial in the effect. The XY and Z rotation fields allow you to rotate around a particular axis of your clip center point. This allows you to precisely control the position of elements on your canvas. The lower left, both are negative, and in the upper left, the X is negative and the Y is positive. To the lower right, the X value remains positive and the Y becomes negative. Now if you drag your clip to the upper right then both of the numbers become positive. Both are measured in pixels and represent the location of the center of your clip on the canvas. The X value is the first field, and the Y value is the second field. ![]() The position field use a standard XY coordinate grid that originates at the center of your canvas as 0-0. There's one click buttons for scale to fit, stretch to fit, and reset the scale. Now many of these parameters are directly linked to the canvas clip controls, allowing you to easily make adjustments to our clips on the canvas, or use the sliders, or type in specific values. This first panel is called the video panel, and it controls the look of the selected clip. You apply effects by first selecting a clip either in your timeline or on the canvas, and then adjusting parameters in the property panels on the right. Now effects and screen flow are applied either to an entire clip, or to an action that allows you to change the effect parameters over time. If you're following along, I'm in the video effects project. In this chapter, we're gonna dive into ways that you can enhance your story by applying effects to your audio and video clips. ![]()

Launchbar nmac ked9/1/2023 ![]() LaunchBar can add an event or reminder from its search window. And all except Butler and Spotlight can open a document in an app other than the default one for that file type (for instance, opening a Word document in Pages), and let you type keywords to perform a wide variety of system actions-things like hiding the current app, changing your volume, or restarting your Mac.īutler’s window isn’t as modern or flashy as the others and has fewer options, but it still intelligently prioritizes your choices. (In Quicksilver, you must type “=” as your first character to trigger the calculation.) In addition, all except Butler let you use Quick Look to preview a selected item without opening it. But the next time you type “m” (or, depending on the launcher, after a few tries), Messages comes up as the first choice.Īll the launchers except Butler can perform calculations right in the search field. For example, if you type “m” in an effort to find and open Messages, perhaps Mail comes up on the list sooner, so you arrow down to Messages instead. All except Butler also have mechanisms for adding plugins in order to extend searches to include items such as 1Password logins and Transmit favorites.Īll the launchers become smarter as you use them. For example, you can ask them to look at only specific files or folders, or perform specialized Web searches for, say, Twitter users or IMDB entries. ![]() (You can see the full list of search categories in System Preferences > Spotlight >, where you can also disable or reorder the categories as you see fit.)Īlfred, Butler, LaunchBar, and Quicksilver display and open most of the same data types as Spotlight, but offer much more configurability. In Yosemite, Spotlight displays most results (including Wikipedia pages, movie trailers, maps, and so on) right in its pop-up window. In addition, Spotlight can search the Web (via Bing), perform currency conversions, show Dictionary definitions, and more. But Spotlight can find and open nearly anything on your Mac, including documents, folders, System Preferences panes, Mail messages, iTunes tracks, and contacts. The word launcher implies that you’ll be opening apps, and all the launchers (including Spotlight) prioritize apps in their search results. (If you want to use more than one launcher at the same time, that’s fine too, as long as each has a different keyboard shortcut.) What you can find and open Similarly, each of the non-Apple launchers has a default keyboard shortcut involving the Spacebar (LaunchBar uses Command-Spacebar, the same as Spotlight for Alfred, it’s Option-Spacebar for Butler and Quicksilver, it’s Control-Spacebar), but you can change this to whatever you prefer-just make sure your chosen launcher doesn’t conflict with Spotlight. Spotlight uses the Command-Spacebar shortcut by default, but you can change it if you like by going to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Spotlight >, double-clicking the keyboard shortcut next to Show Spotlight Search, and pressing a new key combination. Please contact us at for more assistance.You can disable or rearrange categories for Spotlight searches in this preference pane. Menu icon transparency is a default feature of macOS, which can be turned off via System Preferences/Accessibility/Display/Reduce transparency. Note that when a new item is added to LaunchBar, by default it has no keyboard shortcut, and assigning one is optional. Preferences are located in Launch Bar's menu, below your added apps/folders. ![]() Hi TuckerMix, indeed, the icons are right-aligned in the menubar. At the end of the day I cannot use this app due to all these issues, death by a thousand cuts. The transparent nature of the drop down menu makes the colors of the icons washed out and hard to recognize. ![]() Pain, just want to disable all shortcuts with a preference. This app forces users to disable each shortcut every time a new app is added. I use apps that have vast amounts of shortcuts and I do not want this app interfereing with those shortcuts. Also there is no preference window and user cannot easily disable shortcuts. Also has a lot of "promotional" menu items that clutters up the experience (rate, recommend, more apps.). This is unfortunate as I desired (thought I was paying for) the ability to have the apps centered in the menu bar. Pictured in app store with icons in center of manubar, but this is not what the app does, icons are right justified as usualy in the menua bar. ![]() |
