![]() What kind of meat is al pastor?Īl Pastor is traditionally spit-roasted pork but for our homemade Al Pastor we are going to use boneless pork shoulder. The citizens of Mexico developed their own guajillo chille marinade with its signature tangy chile flavor and applied it to pork instead of lamb or other meats. The “pastor” in Al Pastor is the name given to the Lebanese merchants who brought the concept of shawarma with them. As the rotisserie rotates, the outside cooks and thin pieces are continually shaved off. These immigrants cooked their thin cuts of meat stacked together in a cone-like shape on a vertical spit-grill, known as shawarma (one of my favs, coming soon!), much like Greek gyros. I am always fascinated by the origins of popular “authentic” food so I was surprised to learn the concept for Al Pastor was brought to Central Mexico by Lebanese immigrants in the early 1900s. ![]() The Al Pastor is sliced off the spit-grilled meat to-order in thin slices accompanied by chunks of fresh pineapple. The outside edges of the pork become beautifully crisp and caramelized while the inside remains splendidly juicy. If you aren’t familiar with Al Pastor, (meaning “shepherd style” in Spanish), it is a popular pork dish in Central America in which pork is marinated in pineapple, chilies and spices then stacked and vertically roasted on a slowly turning spit with a pineapple on top which bathes the pork with its juices. I hope this Al Pastor recipe joins the ranks of my Mexican Chicken, Salsa Verde Chicken, Carnitas, Chipotle Pork, Carne Asada, Beef Barbacoa and Chipotle Chicken as one of your favorite new Mexican protein staples. ![]() In fact, he had three teenage boys from our church youth group over to our house to eat the leftovers that night – and they ate ALL of it. He loved the Al Pastor as it was coming off the grill, he loved it as it was barely warm after photos and he loved it reheated the same night. My foodie critic husband (who loves Mexican food even more than me – which is barely possible) would agree. The combination of smoky, tangy, chile pork, with grilled pineapple is 1000X crave worthy so I knew I was up for a challenge to create a traditional al pastor tasting recipe that was homemade BUT, I think we have done just that and I can honestly say this is arguably one of the best homemade Al Pastor recipe out there. When we go out, I usually order it in some form or another from authentic Tacos Al Pastor to Ada Haba Pina California Burrito (burrito with Al Pastor, pineapple, French fries, sour cream, guacamole, cheese, etc.) to Al Pastor Nachos. I recently shared in my Al Pastor Kabobs post, that I am obsessed with Al Pastor.

Now that you are up to speed on how to find public toilets in China as well as how to use a squat toilet in China should that be necessary, let’s cover some essential tips to follow on your trip: You’ll want to make sure you’re familiar with the Chinese characters above to ensure you don’t surprise members of the opposite sex when entering a public Chinese toilet. You can always think of the Chinese character for “female” as one that looks like a woman crossing her legs. That is at least until you go out to small towns or the countryside where the men’s and women’s room may tend to be spelled out with Chinese characters. Generally speaking, you’ll shouldn’t have problems determining which one is the men’s or women’s room as they are usually marked with the standard graphic indicating a man or woman. Differentiating Men’s/Women’s Chinese Toilets Again, when venturing out to local towns or the countryside, prepare yourself for some primitive and unsanitary toilets. These tips only apply to public toilets in big cities though. ![]() ![]() As a foreign tourist, no one will question why you are there and you’re almost guaranteed to find a clean, Western toilet!
![]() Apple knows that apps and content will be critical to the success of this AR headset and this explains why developers will have early access in order to ensure that they can test their apps. So clearly there's still a lot of work that will continue on the AR/VR headset before Apple starts talking about this. This version will supposedly help build AR and VR apps.įinally, he also notes that the “company is working on a new development environment for the Mac to let developers simulate the headset and their in-development apps” before they get access to the actual AR headset. Gurman also writes about how Apple is working on a new version of SwiftUI, its coding language. Metal is Apple’s API for helping developers create 3D pro applications and games. He also expects Apple to talk more about updates to Metal, Reality Composer, Final Cut Pro, etc with focus on VR/AR elements. We might not see these VR versions at WWDC, but some of the other announcements could indicate that this is coming. Even some Apple TV+ shows could get the VR treatment. Instead what is expected are updates to key software which will ensure that developers can make AR/VR apps and content more easily.Īccording to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is preparing some VR versions of its key apps, including FaceTime, Fitness+ workouts, etc. Again it could surprise everyone by glimpse of this, but at the moment the headset reveal is unlikely. The MacBook Air with M2 starts at Rs 1,19,900.įirst, Apple is unlikely to showcase the AR/VR headset. The new Macs will come to India by next month.

Genetic evidence suggests that the western and eastern gorilla species diverged around 261,000 years ago. Each has a lowland and upland subspecies. Taking over four months to research, sculpt and cast, our Design Toscano Giant Male Silverback Gorilla Statue commands a unique presence in home or garden. Mountain gorillas are also popularly known as silverback gorillas. King of the Gorillas statue, and parents will love sharing awesome photos of their beringei beringei is longer than that of the other three subspecies.

Next thing I know, my toaster will be telling me that it’s the perfect time to pop-up my crumpet and my iron will be reminding me that I haven’t pressed creases into my trousers since 2019. It is fun to see little push notifications asking me ‘What’s in your cup?’ or ‘A software update is available for your mug’. I also can’t access the app without my mug nearby, so I can’t edit settings while out and about (then again, why would I?). Just choose your preferred temperature in the Ember app once you’ve paired it with your phone. With just the press of a button, it can warm your beverage to anywhere from 120 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. I don’t want to have to scroll through my phone to make sure I’m logging a flat white, not an espresso, or that this particular drink is caffeine-free. The Ember mug is powered by advanced dual lithium-ion batteries. However, having all these different presets can feel a bit like overkill. You can also link the app with a health app, if you’re particularly concerned about monitoring your caffeine intake. If you like your tea precisely 1.5☌ warmer than your coffee, well, you’re using the right device for that. Within the app, you can create different presets for all your favourite beverages. The Ember app is available on Android and Apple devices, but due to differences in Bluetooth capabilities Ember say that not all phones will pick up the mug’s signals, so it’s worth checking their list of compatible devices. I’m now used to a perfectly-warmed drink at any time of day, so my colleagues now see my unpleasantly surprised grimace when I pick up my mug mid-meeting. But switching from the Ember to a plain old china cup is actually quite difficult. Of course, I could just use a regular mug in the office. But when I come to the office, I either need to bring the mug and its charger with me, or purchase a spare coaster for an extra £39.95. At home, I can keep the mug on its charging coaster, and if I need to move to another room for a call I can be confident that the battery will keep my drink warm for at least an hour and a half. Maybe the next iteration of the Ember Mug could be designed so that the bottom section, which holds the rechargeable battery, could be disconnected?Īfter about a month of use, I’ve found the mug doesn’t really suit the post-pandemic flexible working set-up that our office has adopted. Of course, you can’t microwave the Ember Mug², nor can you put it in the dishwasher. According to one reviewer, the mug won’t register anything under 37.8☌, but the app won’t let you programme a temperature below 50☌.įor a smart device, it does require some analogue actions. Nor can you leave your Ember off the coaster, let the battery run down and then expect that putting it back on the coaster will bring your drink up to temp. You can’t pour in cold coffee from your cafetière and expect the mug to make it drinkable. It’s important to note that the Ember Mug² is designed to keep things hot, not to reheat drinks that have gone completely cold. ![]() Mod posts Serious posts Megathread Breaking news Unfilter Please use spoiler tags to hide spoilers.

Birds and their powers are so enmeshed in our history that you can find artistic renditions of birds since the existence of Neanderthals. Since birds have been part of folklore, mythology and history, tattoo motifs with birds as their central theme are very popular. In fact it is this quality of our feathered friend that gave birth to the phrase “A little bird told me”. It would inform the hero about the situation ahead and even warn him about the dangers that lay ahead. In most tales it would be the bird that would fly ahead and scout for the hero.

Newton wanted religion as a means of escaping hell, but he loved sin too much. He turned his mind towards religion three or four times before he was sixteen, but never with any lasting results. This again brought him to think about his soul - temporarily. There was an accident and his friend and some others were drowned. The hand of God seemed to be on him again when he agreed to join a friend on a visit to a man of war, but he was delayed for a few minutes and missed the trip. Every time he relapsed, he found himself going even deeper into sin. He often wrestled between sin and the conscience he had from his mother's teachings and prayers. This accident made him think about what would happen to him if he died, so he stopped his prolific swearing and bad behaviour for a while, but he was soon back to his old ways. For years it seems that the Lord had His hand of protection on Newton's life. He was thrown from a horse, falling only inches short of some stakes that would have impaled him. He made five voyages with his father up until 1742 when he was 17 years old.Īround the age of 12, Newton had his first brush with death. It must have been quite a shock for him to leave a loving mother for a distant and severe father. He did not receive much love from his father and stood in fear of him most of the time.
