![]() ![]() ![]() We wielded the straight-edged peeler to prep Yukon golds for mashing and apple slices for snacks. Not only do you have the option to go for a colorful set-one swivel peeler with a green handle, one julienne peeler with an orange handle, and one serrated peeler with a red handle-but these peelers also offer versatility and durability.ĭuring testing, there wasn’t much that this set didn’t handle with ease. If you’re in the market for several peelers to outfit your kitchen, this Oxo set is the way to go. In fact, one of our experts has been using this peeler for more than three years now and always throws it in the dishwasher. When it comes time for cleaning, it can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher. The metal eye at the top lets you remove eyes from potatoes without reaching for a knife, and the hole in the handle can be used for hanging it on a hook. Also, the blade cut flawlessly in both directions, making it ideal for any cutting method and for both left- and right-handed users. We loved how comfortable the handle was to hold during our tests, even after a long session with potatoes. It took an average of 30 seconds per potato to get them completely peeled, and the peels smoothly fell away from the peeler rather than getting stuck in the blade. The swiveling blade moves at exactly the right angle to peel vegetables with ease, which was confirmed by our tests after peeling many white potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, apples, and tomatoes. It has a slightly better grip and sharper blade and is much sturdier than the original. This is the upgraded version of a classic Oxo peeler. ![]()

O’Sullivan now heads the district’s new stand-alone police department, which was made possible by voters approving a $12 million dollar referendum for safety enhancements last year. “The exterior, all the hallways, the main gathering areas like the gymnasiums and the cafeteria,” said Clark-Pleasant Community Schools Police Chief, Tim O’Sullivan. “How we are actively taking a look at the visitors and going background checks, etc.”ĭistrict officials are in the middle of installing more than 640 new security cameras to provide live monitoring throughout all their buildings. “I would say we are stepping up our game with regards to how we are actively monitoring our campuses,” said Clark-Pleasant Community Schools Superintendent Dr. Safety enhancements across Indiana schools include technology, personnel and procedures. Like school districts across the state, Clark-Pleasant officials have spent the last year working to increase security and mental health services in the wake of the Noblesville West Middle School shooting in May of 2018.

I loved the thick hand rolled dumplings and copious amounts of black pepper he used to make his recipe. Bernard Covington would cook up a huge pot of this southern staple. A warm bowl of Chicken and Dumplings takes me back to meals at our family’s beloved Kitchen House. Let's face it Texans are the masters of corn cookery.I like to share Southern recipes that I know people will try and love to cook for years to come. ![]() The cayenne was excellent it's just the right offset for that flour-ey pastey blandness that sometimes happens. I'd like to see the bread component cut into 1 inch squares like the BBC recipie. I'd say the best offering to this dish is Lamb's stone ground cornmeal. I have dropped cornmeal into stock but find it floats away in bits. I was very impressed by this blogs command of ingredients. I sort of got the feeling that somewhere in London a lady from India is dropping 2 spoons of curry in the pot. Notably they put a huge amount of cayenne into the biscuit dough. Last week I did BBC -Uk's Chicken and dumplings. So I did the research and tried several methods some were long ribbons of awful chewy stuff. He could not tell me how she had done it. I made my version and he was quite irate saying "this is not the way my Mom made it. I married a Floridian whose Mom was from Pensylvania. On the ranch my mom made drop biscuit dough and it was the only version I knew. And sometimes, that’s just what you need. But don’t worry, these Tex-Mex chicken and dumplings still fulfill the original dish’s mandate, which is that after eating it you will feel cozy and satisfied. These are definitely not your grandmother’s chicken and dumplings. (And did you know that tamales are considered dumplings? I didn’t!). The Tex-Mex trinity of jalapeno, cilantro and lime paired with the light corn dumplings reminded me of a soupy chicken-tamale pie. ![]() But instead I came up with an even better idea: cornmeal dumplings. To keep with the Tex-Mex theme, I considered making it the easy way-with strips of flour tortillas standing in for proper dumplings. First, I decided to spice it up with some jalapenos and cilantro. I’ve had lots of people ask me for my recipe, but since we didn’t make them at home, I took some liberties when coming up with a version of this classic dish. And when I tucked into the thick, creamy concoction, I realized what I had been missing for so long: chicken and dumplings are like a security blanket in a bowl. The dough had expanded to nearly four times its size and the soup and the dumplings had become one. That was fun, but the real magic occurred when we returned a few minutes later. I, however, disagree.Īs Laura’s mother dropped the balls of dough into the bubbling broth, she allowed us to throw a couple into the pot as well. I know that seems kind of a late age to be introduced to the dish, but sadly, I don’t come from chicken and dumplings people-certain members of my family think they’re too mushy. The first time I had chicken and dumplings was at my friend Laura’s house when I was in second grade. Oh, and of course, these cafés always serve chicken and dumplings. You know the kind of joint I’m talking about-it’s a place where you can get a cheese enchilada to go with your chicken-fried steak, the lima beans are dripping with a bacon-rich broth, the iced tea is served in a bottomless glass and the toughest decision you’ll make that day is whether to order the pie or the cobbler for dessert. One of the best things about these towns is that they usually have a café that specializes in classic Texan cooking. My latest obsession is taking road trips on many of the state’s two-lane highways, motoring through some of the smaller towns that you wouldn’t normally see if you stayed on the interstates. And when you pair it with chicken to make chicken and dumplings, you have one of my favorite belly-filling, spirit-warming, cold-weather dishes.Īs befits a homesick Texan, I spend chunks of time thinking of places I’d like to visit when I’m at home. Is there a cuter word in the English language than dumpling? Nope, I didn’t think so. ![]() ![]() ![]() Many Napa experiences are crowded and basically factory tours. It’s rare these days to see a company value their customers and their employees and this brand truly does that. Youre encouraged to 'do you' while the awesome staff swings by with the current wine releases and local produce as an accompaniment. The place is cool, has character and a laid back vibe that you dont find at other wineries. I would honestly give this place 1,000 stars if I could. Scribe is one of those Sonoma winery experiences thats different from all the others. Their customer service is quick to respond and so helpful. Their stewards are so knowledgeable and you receive a warm newsletter every quarter with details on the company, which again makes it feel like family. The grapes for the Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon originate from four. One of our logo’d glasses broke in transit back from our honeymoon, and I inquired about purchasing a replacement, and they sent a whole new pair with our bottles. Scribe Winery - Pinot Noir Carneros 2021. They have been so friendly everytime we have needed something. We joined their wine club because it was the first place we saw where you got to customize your alllocation and choose what you want every quarter. It truly feels like you are family, and they have bent over backwards to accommodate us. They try different wines with you one on one, but never in a pressuring way.

I cannot say enough nice things about this winery. ![]() ![]() ![]() You will now be disconnected from the access point because the IP address has been changed.
