I served this dish with some fried rice – the recipe ain’t perfect yet so I’m not sharing – but you can also just have the chicken with the salsa or just plain white rice.If you're looking for a delicious and unique twist on traditional chicken recipes, Chicken with Mango Salsa is sure to hit the spot. Place in the refrigerator, covered, for at least 1 hour.ġ5) Pan-fry/grill the chicken till cooked through. I decided to add more onion for more crunch. I hope I’m making you all hungry enough to go cook this dish!Ĥ) Alternatively, pound the chicken breasts until they are of even thickness.ĥ) Grate a ginger, a little garlic and snip in a chilli padiħ) Add in the mangoes (I decided to mash the mangoes later on).ĩ) For the salsa, chop some tomato and mango.ġ4) Give it a toss and adjust the seasonings. The bite of the raw red onion, the fragrant and crunch of coriander, the sweetness and juiciness of the mango and tomato and the tang from the lime all combined together into one very delicious concoction. This salsa, though I modified the recipe a little as I don’t have some of the ingredients, is every bit AMAZING. What brings this dish up a notch is definitely the mango salsa. The resulting chicken does not have a very pronounced mango flavour, probably because I used a bit too much ginger and the lack of the grilling sauce, but it was still pretty tender, juicy and gingery. (Another exception is when the chicken breast is served with a sauce, like this very yummy pan-fried chicken breast with mushrooms.) I also added a bit of soy sauce to colour the chicken as well as to enhance the marinade. I usually won’t use chicken breast in a dish as a main course as it’s pretty dry and tough, however, I know the lime juice and ginger will help tenderize the meat so I still sticked with it. There are 3 components in Bobbi’s recipe, the marinade, grilling sauce and the salsa, but I omitted the grilling sauce because I really can’t bear with the thought of using any more mangoes in the dish – I was dying to eat the fruit as it is, plus I was lazy (okay lazy was the real reason…) If not for the fact that they are pretty heaty, I would love to eat them everyday! These bright, yellow, lovely fruits are sweet, sticky and juicy. Mangoes, especially Thai mangoes, are one of our favourite fruits. When Bobbi posted her Tropical Spa Mango Chicken recipe recently, I was intrigued. I’ve seen Korean, Chinese, Western, Italian and Thai dishes being featured on her blog, all look mouthwatering delicious! She also revamped her site recently, and I LOVE her search page – I can search ingredients, difficulty levels, cuisine type… very useful! ![]() Bobbi creates all these amazing international dishes that her kids all love. Today’s recipe is adapted from Bobbi, from Bam’s Kitchen. (Don’t worry, I’ll be posting something sweet on the next recipe post!) Since it’s a lot easier to scale cooking recipes down for 2-4 people than baking recipes, I’ve been cooking a lot more these days – which proved to be really fun, interesting and tasty. As I’m not in office most of the time, I can’t bring the baked goods to office and share the fats goodness with my colleagues. I would love to bake desserts every week (in fact I would love to bake almost everyday), but the butter, sugar and the occasional chocolate are contributing to the disappearance of my waist (thankfully it’s still here). ![]() Raisins – I like my raisins tender and plump, so I soak them briefly in hot water. The contrast some crispiness around the edges brings to the soft cookie centre is part of the magic of these cookies! For this recipe, self-raising flour cannot be used in place of the flour and baking powder, because self-raising flour has too much baking powder in it īrown sugar AND white sugar – Brown sugar makes the cookie chewier and adds a pleasing caramelly note, while the white sugar gives the cookie crispy edges. So, just baking powder it is! įlour – Just plain / all-purpose flour. This recipe specifically calls for only baking powder which Cook’s Illustrated found makes the cookie chewier. The residual heat will soften the butter in 5 minutes.īaking powder – Most recipes call for baking soda / bicarb, or a combination of baking soda and baking powder. Remove jug, quickly put plate in, close door. ![]() Microwave 2 cups of cold tap water for 4 minutes on high. In fact, this is one of the most common problems people have when making cookies!Ī quick way to bring butter to room temperature: Cut fridge-cold butter into 1.5cm cubes (1/2″ thick slices if you have a US stick of butter). This is soft enough to whip until creamy, but still cool enough such that when you touch it, you don’t end up with a slick of grease on your finger.īutter that is too soft can lead to cookies that split or spread too much in the oven. ![]() I applaud them for their persistence, not least so we may feast on the sweet fruits of their labour!īutter (at room temperature) – When recipes call for butter at room temperature or softened butter, the butter needs to be firmer than you probably think. I read that it took them 6 months to come up with the perfect soft and chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookie. This is a recipe adapted fairly closely from a Cook’s Illustrated recipe. Keep your Insta-friendly hipster cookies and call me a granny, I don’t care – just leave me all the Oatmeal Raisin Cookies!! Ingredients for Oatmeal Raisin Cookies For me that magical mix of warm cinnamon and fruit studding a caramelly, chewy cookie just tastes like pure comfort and, well, home. Here’s the thing: I’m all about fruit and spice oatmeal cookies, and they rate higher than chocolate chip cookies in my world. Unless, that is, they have big and fat Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. If you love your oatmeal cookies soft and chewy, this is THE Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe for you! Nicely crispy around the edges, studded with plump and juicy raisins, and buttery in taste with the faintest wisp of cinnamon, these cookies smell heavenly when they’re in the oven and also keep really well! Oatmeal Raisin Cookiesīeing more of a savoury than sweet-toothed gal, I’m rarely a victim of the urge to buy cookies or sweet tarts lined up in temptation on the counters of coffee shops. ![]() As host of the US hit show The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, he provides viewers around the globe with their nightly dose of biting satire, but here Noah turns his focus inward, giving listeners a deeply personal, heartfelt and humorous look at the world that shaped him. One of the comedy world's brightest new voices, Trevor Noah is a light-footed but sharp-minded observer of the absurdities of politics, race and identity, sharing jokes and insights drawn from the wealth of experience acquired in his relatively young life. The compelling, inspiring (often comic) coming-of-age story of Trevor Noah, set during the twilight of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed. ![]() He also captures the vision and stubbornness of his mother. Through his performance, Noah brings his childhood world to life and traces his escape from poverty using his quick thinking, linguistic abilities and wit. Given the author’s knack for impersonations, the audiobook has been called 'even more splendid than an already terrific memoir'. Listen to Trevor Noah’s life story in his own words, as he narrates the Born a Crime audiobook with the humour and warmth for which he is renowned. At its heart, Born a Crime is the story of a mother who will go to extraordinary lengths to protect her son. Set against a backdrop of radical social reform and reconciliation, Noah’s memoir explores themes of belonging and community, what it means to be a family, the racism that has shaped South Africa’s history and the absurdity of growing up within that as a mixed-race child. Award-winning comic and host of The Daily Show, Trevor Noah tells the at-once moving, serious and outrageously funny story of his rebellious birth and his often chaotic coming of age in South Africa in the 1990s. ![]() A number one New York Times best seller, Trevor Noah’s critically acclaimed autobiography will open your mind to the brutality of systemic racism and touch your heart with its testaments to a mother’s fierce love and the remarkable resilience of the human spirit.īorn a Crime is a deeply affecting and engaging memoir with a powerful commentary on the end of apartheid and its aftermath. ![]() I no longer buy the blue box because my kids no longer request it. After a few tweaks (the first version was an epic fail), this recipe came about and is a new favorite! Tender pasta covered in a cheese sauce that will have any mouth watering! Made in under 10 minutes, perfect for lunch or dinnertime! ![]() Say what?!?! I was blown away! Homemade macaroni….for lunch….in under ten minutes?!?! Sign me up! After asking her for her recipe and realizing I had little to none of the ingredients needed, I set out to make my own version. One afternoon, as I was browsing through the group, I saw a lady post about making her children macaroni and cheese for her kids lunch in under ten minutes. I joined the Instant Pot community group on Facebook once I purchased my Instant Pot because I needed recipes, inspiration, and support because lets face it, pressure cookers don’t have a good rep and I have watched my share of “Breaking Bad” episodes, haha! Plus, truth be told, when I thought of “homemade macaroni and cheese”, I thought of a lot of work involved! Little did I know I was oh so wrong! Yes, I read all of the articles about how this can give you that, and this is bad for you because of that reason, but at the end of the day, I grew up on it and turned out just fine, so never really gave it two thoughts. After the pressure cook cycle is complete follow the manufacturers guide for quick release and wait until the cycle is complete. Whether making it for lunch, dinner, adding in ground hamburger, or serving it as a side to their hot dogs it was always around. Set to pressure cook on high for 4 minutes. Having little kids, the blue box of macaroni and cheese had always been a staple in my house. During the summer, when we spend our days at the pool, I don’t have to race home and dinner prep because I know I can whip something up quickly!

After the round completes, the next trick is started by the player to the left of the player who played first in the last round. Subsequent tricks of that round start with the winner of the previous trick. The first trick of a game starts with the human player. There is no limit to the number of rounds that can be played to get to the 500 point goal. Points are added after each round until one team hits 500. The goal of the game is to get to 500 points. If they do not succeed, 100 points will be deducted. If they succeed in winning zero tricks, their team will get 100 points added to their score. A nil bid means the player does not intend to win any tricks. If a player bids zero tricks, this is known as a Nil bid. Aka, if the two players on a team bid 2 and 3 respectively, they should win a combined total of at least 5 tricks. The goal is for each team to win enough tricks to meet or exceed its combined total of bids. All cards are dealt, meaning each player ends up with a hand of 13 cards.Īt this point, each player bids the number of tricks they think they can win. ![]() Cards are dealt to the user first and then they are dealt around the table.

Play against other AI-generated playersįrequently Asked Questions What are the rules of Spades?. There is nothing complicated about the game. The players basically just take turns calling out letter number combinations trying to find where the other player placed their ships. For those that don’t, I think the game could be explained in just a couple minutes. In fact most people likely already know how to play the game. If you have a basic understanding of simple coordinate systems, you should have no issue playing the game. On the positive side the game is quite easy to play. There are things that I like about it, but it has quite a few issues as well. The game is considered a classic for a reason. I am not entirely sure what to think of Battleship.

Players then take turns calling out a coordinate in the grid. ![]() Each player places their ships in a grid. Two players face off trying to sink the other player’s ships before they can sink yours. Battleship is a solid somewhat fun game that was good for its time, even if at times it feels like a glorified guessing game.įor those few of you not already familiar with Battleship, the premise behind the game is quite simple. Since I haven’t played Battleship in quite a few years, I decided to give the game a chance to see how it stands up. It wasn’t one of my favorite games though. I remember playing the game every so often when I was a kid. I have to say that I have never had particularly strong feelings towards Battleship. In 1967 it became the Milton Bradley game that most people are familiar with. ![]() The game originally began as a pencil and paper public domain game. Battleship is one of those board games that pretty much everyone has played at least once. ![]() Let's say you use Airtable to manage projects that often involve the same set of tasks and milestones.

Airtable's Interface Designer lets you create custom dashboards containing only information you want collaborators to see. Sure, you can filter the data using different views, but even combing through different views can be a dizzying task. If your base contains a lot of data, it can be overwhelming for other collaborators to navigate. You can get insights on everything from how to fix a broken Airtable automation to high-level data on user activity. For example, with a chart extension, you can visualize your data as a bar, line, or donut graph directly from your base.Īirtable insights help teams understand how everyone is interacting with their shared bases, and suggest ways they can optimize them. ![]() ![]() For example, you can build a workflow to automatically notify your team in Slack when the project status on an Airtable record changes to "complete."Īirtable Extensions let you add extra functionality to your bases.

Who it isn’t for: People only use a tape measure occasionally.įor those working on a home renovation, the DeWalt ToughSeries Tape Measure is a good one to have around. Who it’s for: People who want a tape measure with easy-to-read markings. But, if you need a longer standout, you may want to look at other models on this list.īlade Length: 12 feet, 16 feet, 25 feet, 30 feet | Blade Width: 0.9 inches | Blade Material: Steel | Weight: 0.63 pounds We recommend it for anyone looking for a durable yet affordable tape measure. But if you aren’t planning on using this feature anyway, the Milwaukee tape measure is still a solid pick.Īll things considered, this tape measure provided accurate inside and outside measurements with a blade that retracts quite smoothly. Also, it may not be the most tape convenient to carry because the belt clip was stiff and difficult to slide over a belt with one hand. But for the 25-foot version, we noticed that the blade lock switch was difficult to deploy with a single hand. The 1/8-inch markings are clear and not too cluttered, which helps ensure accuracy while reading the measurements.ĭuring our tests, we found this tape measure to be generally easy to use with one hand, especially thanks to its comfortable grip. It has an average standout of 8 feet, 9 inches, which isn’t anything exceptional, but we think it’s enough for most uses around the house. Who it isn’t for: People who need to measure long distances on their own.Įven though it has fewer features than some other tape measures, this one from Milwaukee is still a solid option for most home renovators who don’t want to splurge. Who it’s for: People who don’t want to spend a lot of money on a tape measure. Those seeking a compact option would be better off with another pick from our list.īlade Length: 16 feet, 25 feet, 30 feet, 35 feet | Blade Width: 1.25 inches | Blade Material: Steel | Weight: 1.5 pounds (That being said, dropping it from the top of your ladder may not be the best thing for it if you plan to keep it for a long time.) Another thing to keep in mind is that this tape measure is on the bulkier side, so it felt quite snug in our tool belt. There was no visible or measurable damage after we dropped this tape measure onto a concrete floor, so you don’t have to worry about accidentally losing your grip. Overall, this tape measure performed well on all tests. Plus, this pick has identical markings on the top and bottom of the blade, so you can easily get the measurements you need-even if you are in an awkward position. We think the bright yellow blade and black numbers have a nice contrast, which makes this tape measure very easy to read. (The standout of a measuring tape is how far it can extend before it bends-this makes measuring convenient, especially if you don’t have anyone else around to help out.) We tested the 16- and 25-foot versions and found that the standout for the latter was slightly less-around 12 feet. We appreciate its extra-large numbers and long-reaching 13-foot standout that make it incredibly easy to use, even if you’re working alone. The Irwin Strait-Line Tape Measure is our best overall pick because it earned a perfect five-star score during our tests. ![]() Who it isn’t for: People who prefer a more compact tape measure. Who it’s for: People who want a tape measure that has big, bold numbers. In addition to Greenwell, we also spoke to Ryan Jantz, co-founder of Proteus Homes, on the key factors you should look out for when choosing a tape measure. We also considered blade length, blade width, blade material, standout, and various features of each model. To come up with this list, we tested 34 tape measures in our Lab and assessed them on ease of use, accuracy, durability, and overall value. ![]() A DIYer who wants to install hardwood floors in their home will need a tape measure to accurately determine the room’s square footage, to calculate the price, and keep them on budget.” “A tape measure is one of the most important tools you can have in your home and can keep you from making a lot of purchasing fails,” says Kimberly Greenwell, a home education expert and host of the TV show "My Southern Home." “It will allow you to make sure the sofa fits perfectly against the wall and the dishwasher slides perfectly into the cabinetry.
