Usually, I keep it simple with my 5 Ingredient Beer Bread or Salted Butter Parker House Rolls. This would make a great dinner party meal with a side salad and some bread. You can even prepare the sauce way ahead of time, then just add the pasta before you're ready to serve. ![]() That will be totally fine and your sauce will still be great. If you prefer to not cook with alcohol, swap the vodka for chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even just water. This will release its flavors and cook out the alcohol. The key is to slowly simmer vodka into the sauce. When used in small amounts, the vodka will boost and intensify the aroma of the sauce. The vodka adds a sharp bite that helps to balance out the sweetness of the tomatoes. It's delicious and looks pretty on any table…not to mention that everyone LOVES a GOOD creamy vodka pasta. Serve this 30-minute dinner up any night of the week. The pesto adds a vibrant layer of flavor and richness to this silky and smooth pasta. Fresh pasta tossed in a spicy tomato pesto vodka sauce that's creamy and so delicious! The secret to this one-pot pasta? Basil pesto and plenty of cheese on top. This silky, smooth and extra creamy Spicy Pesto Pasta Alla Vodka is the perfect cozy winter recipe. ![]() 7/1/2023 0 Comments Sonic frontiers render![]() ![]() ![]() As a result, this layered piece of art has a real identity to it. In contrast, Sonic Frontiers has several identities, several gameplay formats moulded into one project. The 2017 title fell to mediocrity as a result, taking few risks and having little substance. ![]() With Sonic Forces, as an example, a darker tone together with character customisation were advertised changes that promised to mix up the Sonic formula, yet Sonic Forces lacked a true identity, failing to provide a unique or engaging lens. Variation is key because it showcases a level of ambition and experimentation that we’ve rarely seen from Sonic Team previously. From a plethora of boss and sub-boss battles (some of which have you play as Super Sonic) to puzzles, to the traversal of towers to fishing with Big the Cat, the gameplay loop is impressively varied. While Cyberspace is certainly this, there is so much more meat on the bones of Sonic Frontiers. While there’s some variety in terms of paths to take, for the longest time this has remained the Sonic formula it’s far too linear to maintain any longer. Most prior Sonic games are straightforward: complete this series of levels to advance the story – and maybe attempt to beat your previous times. Sonic Frontiers experiments a bunch in relation to its gameplay loop. Sonic Team have somehow laced these layers of gameplay together so that a player can seamlessly explore. Integrally, this prevents the adventure from being a chore. They often connect so sharply and precisely, and before you know it, you’ve traversed half of an island! It’s so easy to be lost in the flow of climbing a tower or reaching a Chaos Emerald too. Jump pads, rails and other obstacles combine for a sublime flow. But, it’s nonetheless fun to take part in mostly everything throughout the Starfall Islands. Could obstacles and puzzles have been integrated better into said environments? Of course. Could the environments feel more lively? Sure. Fortunately, the space is utilised thanks to puzzles, enemies and obstacles. Scepticism was rife in the early gameplay footage of Sonic Frontiers due to the world’s sheer emptiness. With regards to the expansive landscape, being able to explore anywhere in sight makes the world feel evermore open – something that many video games still struggle to accomplish.Īs I rolled around at the speed of sound, I was impressed with the sheer detail across all five Starfall Islands. Thus, Sonic feels appropriately minute in this vast world. Having landscapes render so far in the distance is impressive, improving the aesthetic and atmospheric design. Initially, it appears bizarre sky rails and jump pads occupy the skyline (we’ll come back to this), but in the context of a Sonic game, this hardly feels out of place. Thus, it’s a pleasure to stand at the top of a mountain and simply look out at the horizon. Once the preliminaries are concluded – including a slightly tedious tutorial – the first Starfall Island is there to explore! It’s swiftly evident that this is the most beautiful Sonic the Hedgehog game to date! While certainly not on par with God of War, Death Stranding or Red Dead Redemption II among others, the landscapes are mesmerising at times. It’s also an interesting juxtaposition to the open-world gameplay that covers the majority of Sonic Frontiers. While I wish they hadn’t used Green Hill Zone for what feels like the millionth time, Cyberspace is here to offer the traditional Sonic gameplay and, subsequently, traditional Sonic environments. Most levels are completed within a short spell of 90 seconds or under, but if anything, this is for the best because they never outstay their welcome. Generally, Cyberspace levels are entertaining. They are attacked Sonic is transported into Cyberspace to a brief yet enjoyable first level. Next, we see Sonic, Tails and Amy, who have tracked the Chaos Emeralds to the Starfall Islands. Sonic Frontiers provides the context to our journey in our opening cutscene. So, does Sonic Frontiers make up for past blemishes, painting a promising path for the future? With Sonic Frontiers, Sega can finally complete the resurgence of our favourite spiky mammal following two successful films. However, there have been undoubtedly more negatives than positives for the past 20 years. There are solid installments out there, such as Sonic Generations and Sonic Mania (both definitely rely on nostalgia). For the longest time, Sonic the Hedgehog has been merely existing, relying very much on nostalgia and past successes. ![]() 7/1/2023 0 Comments Chinese pidgin english![]() ![]() One author divides Chinglish into "instrumental" and "ornamental" categories. "Pure Chinese" is an odd English locution in a Web advertisement: " 孔子學院/ CONFUCIUS INSTITUTE/ Teach you pure Chinese." This Kǒngzǐ Xuéyuàn ( 孔子學院) is Chinese for the Confucius Institute, but Mair notes that "pure Chinese" curiously implies "impure Chinese". This unusual English phrase literally translates the original Chinese tíchū yánzhèng jiāoshè ( 提出嚴正交涉 'lodge solemn representation'), combining tíchū "put forward raise pose bring up", yánzhèng "serious stern unyielding solemn", and jiāoshè "mutual relations negotiation representation". Take for instance, this headline: "China lodges solemn representation over Japan's permission for Rebiya Kadeer's visit". Some peculiar Chinese English cannot be labeled Chinglish because it is grammatically correct, and Victor Mair calls this emerging dialect "Xinhua English or New China News English", based on the Xinhua News Agency.

(Ulysses might be a minor exception, as it can be both a notes tool and word processor depending on how you use it.) Full-on word processing tools aren’t in the running, nor are project management tools or CRMs that happen to have a notes function. So in this post, we’re only looking at tools that are primarily for notes. None of these, however, beat the speed and simplicity of a dedicated notes app. You can also take notes in project management software like Asana, or collaborative docs like Dropbox Paper. Authors may prefer to jot down notes inside the tools they are already working in, like Scrivener. Others use word processing apps like Google Docs or Microsoft Word. Some people use the cells in a spreadsheet. Of course, you can take notes almost anywhere you can write. You also need to be able to easily search your notes to find information. That means not having to waste time organizing and saving your files. With note-taking apps, you need to be able to quickly take notes. It syncs across devices, offers a handy web clipper, and can even search handwriting.īut in trying to be all things to all people, the notes app market has opened up, offering a slew of note-taking apps that are going to appeal to more specific groups of people looking for more specific solutions. They also changed the free plan in ways that have driven away users by crippling key features unless you pay.Įvernote remains a great product in many ways. However, over the last 4+ years, Evernote has undergone a series of problematic changes, introducing bizarre new products in an attempt to expand its reach. With its sleek, comfortable interface, enjoyable mobile experience, and easy way of organizing with folders and stacks of folders, Evernote dominated the note-taking world after the iPhone’s original launch in 2007.

Realizing she has trust issues, she asks Alan to take things even slower than they have, but he’s not having it. The person he was texting was the guy with the cart, and not some random woman like Katherine assumed. ![]() Alan remembered a story that Katherine told him about eating ice cream in the park, and he wanted to surprise her with it. Katherine tells him what happened with Carter and as she is in the middle of “confronting him”, a guy shows up with an ice cream cart. He shrugs it off which prompts her to prod the situation a bit more. Later on the date, Katherine point-blank asks Alan who he’s texting while he’s on his phone. There are a lot of trust issues there, and they’re really starting to show. It throws Katherine off, especially given the situations she’s been in with Eddie. Before the date, Carter (Sam Pancake) shows Katherine that he made her a dating profile and while on the app, they see Alan’s profile. Katherine and Alan (Terry Chen) go on their first date during this week’s episode, and it’s not off to the greatest start. A Million Little Things Season 3, Episode 16 recap: Katherine and Alan Where does this leave Gary and Darcy? Tune in. ![]() And why wouldn’t she? Gary didn’t ask her before Eddie moved in, and as she points out, she always imagined that she would be Gary’s roommate. It turns out that Darcy’s company has a position in the city her ex wants to move to, and she is seriously considering going. Before splitting up, they promised that if either of them ever had to move away that they would only do so if the other could–for the sake of Liam (Mattia Castrillo). That hurt may now manifest in a sad way because her ex-husband wants to move away for a job. Darcy has been extremely cool through their whole relationship, so I get why she might be hurt by this. In fact, he didn’t ask or consult with Darcy at all before bringing Eddie over. But while he’s been a great friend, the entire situation isn’t suitable for his and Darcy’s (Floriana Lima) relationship. Gary has been an amazing friend to Eddie, especially this season with taking him to rehab and then having him move in so he can see Theo. But more on that later.Ĭlearly, there is a lot to talk about when it comes to this week’s episode of A Million Little Things Season 3, so let’s get right into the major moments! A Million Little Things Season 3, Episode 16 recap: Gary and Darcy Unfortunately, the cost of giving Eddie some happiness is coming at a great cost to Gary (James Roday Rodriguez). Things have been so chaotic with their family, and while Eddie has made mistakes, he loves Theo beyond belief. I was also happy to see Eddie get a win with Theo (Tristan Byon). Sophie makes a lot of progress with the help of Rome, someone she can entrust more than anyone because he understands where she is coming from. However, this week’s episode isn’t all gloom and doom. It’s been a difficult year for everyone, and as we inch closer to the end of the season, it’s clear that things may not get resolved before the season closes out. Regina’s (Christine Moses) restaurant is being hit by a lack of customers, Rome (Romany Malco) has been dealing with the emotional repercussions of the Black Lives Matter movement, Eddie (David Giuntoli) and Katherine (Grace Park) are getting divorced, and Sophie (Lizzy Greene) is dealing with the trauma of her assault. ![]() Given the COVID-19 pandemic, things have been chaotic for everyone.

Look, there's nothing at all wrong with being frustrated and making that clear here. That 1.3 rating on the App Store speaks volumes It’s not only this app it’s Fujifilm s departments obviously not talking to each other I have to use a 2017 instax SP3 printer with my XT3, because the nice new instax wide won’t talk to a Fuji camera. It would be handy to have an App that lets you download a jpeg or two for a quick share with your partner, or to have a remote release on hand without needing another cable. So after going through the hoops I got it all set up and it dropped out as it always does. Ī few days ago I tried again, shy fish in the aquarium that hide so what could be better than remote shooting with the XT3, after all I did it with a Panasonic FZ1000 years ago. ![]() But that’s where they left it hanging, no lens firmware updates with the app you got to go back to the SD card. And it’s a shame because I’ve done 3 firmware updates using the iPad and it’s a breeze, no formatting SD cards etc etc. Fujifilm has said they will update and improve the performance of this App for a while now with minimal progress. I think what we are seeing is a bit of pent up frustration here and with good reason. ![]() ![]() ![]() Learn more at /locations/dfw/ Terminal D ( Across from Gate D12.
