Vegan Steak Hearts

Intense and aromatic with white pepper and violet notes, the SUMPAI Pinot Noir stole the show for our main course with barrel-aged aromas of wild berries, vanilla and dried fruit. We used a generous amount to infuse the button mushroom gravy and enjoyed the rest accompanying the heart-shaped vegan steaks, naturally peppered rocket and crispy parmesan potatoes.

Red Onion & Goats Cheese Tarts

Fruity and elegant with deep violet red and ruby tones, a glass of KUDA Pinot Noir was the perfect wine to start our date. We used a splash to infuse the red onions in the tart bringing out the notes of sun-baked herbs, vanilla and dried fruit of the wine. [Author: Sidetrack London]

Reinventing pen on paper

I'm a borderline obsessive note-taker and I've wrestled for years with bringing notes on paper into the digital world. The hack I've used for the past few years is to simply take a picture of my written note pages and then move them into Evernote. That works, for the most part, but I also end up with a stack of notebooks to toss at the end of the year...if only I could bring myself to actually toss them. OK, I'm a borderline hoarder too. I've also never gotten comfortable using a stylus on a tab...

Concealed Carry Corner: Flight or Fight? A Breakdown of Possibilities

Throughout the pandemic, I occasionally will swing by small gun shops to check out inventory.

Help with watermarke on ebook

Hi. after I bought an ebook on amazon I passed out to a friend a pdf copy of the awz file I had previously de-drmd and converted to pdf with calibre. I am only now thinking that this was not a good idea. could there be a watermark in the pdf that would trace the file back to my amazon account? this was not done with commercial intent, but I am a bit afraid that this person could pass this pdf on to someone else and so on. I thank you in advance and hope I have not done something too stupid.

Configure the ONYX Remoter?

Hej all, I'd like to customize my Onyx Remoter: I almost exclusively use the left/right buttons to turn pages in the Neo Reader app, so the up/down buttons could be used otherwise - preferably, I would like to put Pg Up and Pg Down on these buttons to page down / up in the web browser or other reading app instead of scrolling.

Everytown for Gun Safety is now claiming the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is a loophole that needs to be fixed.

Why kumquats are inconsistent and help for a sad tangerine tree

Q: The fruit on my Nagami kumquat this year is variable and somewhat bland. Larger fruit have little to no acidity and can even be mealy, while smaller fruit are closer in tartness to previous years. Is this a result of weather? A: Exposure to freezing temperatures can cause icky, mealy citrus fruit. Kumquats are relatively cold tolerant (for a citrus), but if the fruit is exposed to freezing temperatures, the skin can crack and leave you with a dry, mealy, bland crop. The larger fruit contain m...
