This recipe features in my debut cookbook Dinner. Holidays would not be the same without this Mac and Cheese!! – Nagi xx Nothing heavy because Macaroni Cheese is so rich as it is!Īs a side dish, it will compliment virtually any non-Asian main dish. From simple Baked Pork Chops to Steak, a Roast Chicken to Crispy Garlic Chicken Thighs, the only things I probably would not serve with Mac and Cheese would be very light summery mains such as a Tuna Tartare – just a little too much contrast.Īnd of course, festive gatherings! Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter – alongside a grand Roast Turkey or your Herb & Garlic Butter Slathered Turkey Breast, the juicy Roast Pork with impossibly Crispy Crackling or your Prime Rib that’s so perfectly blushing pink all the way through, it makes you want to weep. Mac and Cheese is worthy of serving as a meal in its own right, served with just a fresh green salad or simple vegetable side. ![]() Add shredded chicken, sautéed onion and bell peppers/capsicum, bacon, hot sauce (for heat!), dried herbs of choice. Thaw then on the day of, bake per Note 5 in the recipe.Īdd ins? This recipe is great as it is, but there’s tons of add-in options. Most Mac and Cheese will not keep well because there’s not enough sauce so it gets absorbed by the pasta and you’re left with dry, sauceless pasta.įreezing? Yes! Assemble, cool, do not bake, just freeze it. How long can Mac and Cheese stay in the fridge? Unlike most, this Macaroni Cheese recipe is good for 3 to 5 days in the fridge.

Plenty of sauce – Because I like my Mac and Cheese saucy, not dried up so you can cut it like cake!Ĭan you make Mac and Cheese ahead of time? Most recipes are not suitable for making ahead, but this recipe is! The best way is to cool pasta then toss with sauce and adding breadcrumb topping. If necessary, switch to a whisk to get rid of stubborn little lumps! To avoid lumps in your sauce, stir constantly as you slowly pour the milk in and keep stirring once the milk is all added. This stops the macaroni from absorbing more liquid while baking, resulting in bloated overcooked pasta (hot pasta absorbs liquid faster, butter creates thin film of protection) and less sauce. No bloated overcooked pasta – Cool macaroni slightly and lightly coat in butter. They have anti caking agents that can make the sauce grainy. The simple trick to avoid lumps in the Mac and Cheese Sauce is to pour the milk in slowly while constantly stirring, then just switch to a whisk if needed to remove any stubborn lumps!įreshly grated cheese – don’t use pre shredded. It’s a straightforward recipe, starting with a basic butter-flour roux that is used to thicken milk to make the cheese sauce. For first timers, I think the short video below will help give you the confidence that you’ve got this! Cream makes it so rich you can’t eat more than a few spoonfuls. This sauce is rich enough as it is from the butter and cheese. And mozzarella for stretch – nothing does the cheese pull like a good mozzarella!īut honestly, any cheese that melts well works is excellent with Mac and Cheese, such as cheddar, tasty, Colby, Swiss, Pepper Jack, Emmental. Gruyere for the most superior flavour with the best melting qualities for creamy sauces such as this – there’s no contention in my view. Best cheese for Mac and Cheese?Ī combination of Gruyere and mozzarella cheese. Macaroni, also known as elbow pasta. But really, any short pasta will work just fine – penne, ziti, twirls etc. Pasta.

I’d be happy to give it to them - they’re good neighbors. Where did we put that title? A neighbor considered taking it - her son coaches youth hockey. Still, it sat in our driveway for months. That’s a lot to put on a publication’s back, particularly when people want all their news free. If you haven’t noticed - and I’m sorry to be the one to tell you - there are forces afoot that would strip you of your freedoms: to have your vote counted, to find a certain book in the library, to have children when you wish to, to allow those children to grow up following their natural inclinations.

We are glad we took the tour but definitely don't need to do so again and will definitely pay attention to future cave tours as to whether the cave is dormant or still active. It’s 35 per person and only for those ages 12 and up (anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult). Ladder Tour Reservations are required for this 1.5 hour long tour.

Hidden high in the southern Arizona Mountains with its endless Sonoran Desert vistas, rich history, and authentic Wild West vibe, Colossal Cave Mountain Park is a destination for the adventurous at heart. an alive cave making comparison of the two types of caves very easy. Colossal Cave Mountain Park offers 3 tours: Classic Cave Tour Offered daily every hour all year round for 18. ![]() ![]() The interesting part of this cave is if you've never toured a dormant cave before, this will give you an excellent perspective on a dormant vs. The stalagmites and stalactites stopped growing decades ago and the cave was badly vandalized almost 100 years ago so most of the formations (other than huge ones) are broken off and never got to try and repair themselves as the cave dried up. Thus, it was dry, dusty and very warm (71 degrees). We had never been in a dormant cave before, just alive/active/whatever they are called caves. Second, Colossal Cave is a "dormant" cave so no need for a sweater/sweatshirt, etc. If you were at the end of the group (where we started out), it was impossible to see what the tour guide was talking about, and it was often difficult to hear her. While we are glad we took the tour I found several things noteworthy. Sadly we had to drive back to Las Cruces that afternoon, but it was a real treat being able to meet Tina and Kurt in Tucson.My son and I enjoy going on cave tours. Kurt added his own information for us, telling us about some of the geology that the tour guide didn’t cover. I’ve been on a few cave tours but this was was pretty great in both the narrative and the amount of the cave you get to see on the tour. The tour was really, really comprehensive, detailing the history and uses of the cave, and the renovation by the Civilian Conservation Core in the 1930s as well as the natural features and their formation. Tina and I were excited to take more photos of saguaros (of course) but we also got to check out a neat section called Javelina Rocks that we hadn’t stopped at on our previous trip.īefore we knew it it was time to return to Colossal Cave. We arrived to go on a hour long tour but found out there was a waiting list so with a couple hours to spare we drove ten miles north to check out the eastern section of Saguaro National Park. The cave system was used by prehistoric Native Americans and then as place to farm guano before being converted to a tourist attraction. We met the next morning for brunch and started out at Colossal Cave Mountain Park, a dry karst (limestone) cave system that extends for 22 miles. After driving around and getting some eats we called it a day. We then did some straight up touristing, taking photos of the cactus and rocky outcroppings while we walked around a bit at an overlook to the west. I attempted to help locate traces of turquoise but to no avail. I swear I had a countdown going that week I was so excited to see her.Īfter meeting them at their hotel we started by exploring a bit of Tucson Mountain Park, Kurt and Tina looking for evidence of turquoise and other interesting rocks in a wash. My sister and her husband, who live in New Jersey, had been planning to visit the Tucson area for a rock and gem show and so once we figured out the dates they’d be there we arranged to see them on our days off from building with Habitat. ![]() ![]() At under $20, the Berner-approved hemp shredder won’t kill your buzz if it gets lost in the sand, or you ditch it before going back through US Customs.

However, I have also used FreeFileSync to sync data between two different computers (e.g., desktop and laptop) whose users actually do routinely access the same data files on both computers. With my set-up, I almost never have reason to try to load the copies FreeFileSync makes on my resident clone and external backup drive, so I’m not a good benchmark. I personally use FreeFileSync (1) to sync my laptop’s data files in “real time” (actually with a short delay) to an internal resident clone drive (a bootable backup system drive), (2) to maintain versioned backup copies of all the files that FreeFileSync updates/replaces/deletes when syncing to the clone drive, and (3) to maintain an external backup of most of my system drive. Have you checked all of above softwares for data corruption issues and deep directory files sync success? I now use plain backup software. While it worked pretty well from the start - with a single FreeFileSync batch file and a single RealTimeSync task to trigger it - there were regularly conflicts that needed to be resolved manually, and the backup files generated by a sync weren’t guaranteed to themselves get synced before, e.g., a laptop was disconnected from the network and taken somewhere else. I’ve been using FreeFileSync for a couple of years now, on my own computer, on my dad’s small home network, and on a friend’s small home network. It’s actively maintained and developed and updates seem to come out every three or four months or so. If you don’t donate, you get installers with bundleware that you can opt out of. Mike Cabolet: FreeFileSync actually is free donation-ware. The bundled adware business is distasteful - they seem to be alternating between OpenCandy and whatever Martin mentioned in the article - but if you get tricked into installing it (they got me once, on an update), Malwarebytes Anti-Malware free can probably take it out. ![]() ![]() ![]() Pale Moon is an open source web browser forked.

The city was surrounded by a ring of 12 heavily armed forts, garrisoned by 70,000 men under the command of Gérard Leman. Liège was key strategically as it held a position at the head of a pass through the Ardennes, which made it the best possible route into the heart of Belgium itself. The German Second Army, comprising 320,000 men, crossed into neutral Belgium in keeping to the Schlieffen Plan, with the ultimate goal of attacking France from the north. From 5–16 August 1914, the Belgians successfully resisted the numerically superior Germans, and inflicted surprisingly heavy losses on their aggressors. The Battle of Liège was the first battle of the war, and could be considered a moral victory for the allies, as the heavily outnumbered Belgians held out against the German Army for 12 days. Ī diagram of the fortifications surrounding the city It was infamous for the nature of the fight that developed there after almost a full year of inconclusive fighting, the front had become a giant trench line stretching from one end of Europe to the other.

After the battle the landscape was left as one of the worst battlegrounds on all of France, filled with craters of the artillery, the trenches, the odor left by the dead, etc. The French commander, Marshall Philippe Pétain, used a system of rotation by which every division in France fought for a short time at Verdun. The battle lowered into a matter of prestige for the two nations, and started being fought for the sake of fighting and honor, according to German command Paul Von Hindenburg. From a strategic point of view, there can be no justification for these terrible losses. The battlefield was not even a square ten kilometres. ![]() The battle, which lasted from 21 February 1916 until 19 December 1916, caused over an estimated 700,000 casualties (dead, wounded and missing).
