I wonder if I could use yellow squash instead of zucchini? Next time I make them and there will be a next time, I will add a little lemon zest. The result was a nicely formed, moist muffin with a very pleasant vanilla flavor. I also over filled the muffin cups as some others had suggested. I took the suggestion of another reviewer and substituted vanilla flavored Greek yogurt for the sour cream. Finely grate peel of one orange and then squeeze the juice in, and add another 1/2 cup of blueberries. I've made this recipe several times and they are a major hit. Because the recipe makes a perfect dozen (no idea what others were complaining about) I opted to freeze half the recipe for a brunch, next weekend. These were so good, minutes out of the oven. The result? A delightful, creamy, almost a cross between a wonderful shortbread and a muffin. Like one other baker, I opted for a lot less sugar. Loved this recipe! I have a “but” however. So those muffin liners are really for cake not brownies or muffins. ![]() For some reason they baked denser and felt heavy even tho I used the same amount of batter or just a smidge more. I made it twice but the second time I put the batter into those high stiff muffin liners that have a pretty design on the outside. Sour cream and butter really make it moist and lovely mouth feel. I was looking for a basic blueberry muffin recipe when I found this. Possibly the best muffins I've ever eaten. Baked for 35 minutes and came out incredibly moist while still being baked through. Added almond extract, cinnamon, ginger, and smidge of cardamom. Used a pint of blueberries, added the zest of 1 small lemon and slightly more flour to compensate for the additional moisture. Try adding blueberries as the recipe calls for which together with some vanilla and sugar makes them anything but bland and boring. I'd hold back about 1/4 cup of flour and dust the berries in that prior to mixing in the batter to keep them from sinking. A little baking spray, or brushing the muffin tins with melted butter or vegetable oil, will do fine to help release the muffins once baked, but if you’d prefer, you could use silicone or paper liners for easier cleanup. Or, for an egg- and dairy-free version, check out our No-Fuss Vegan Blueberry Muffins. Still, if you wanted to make these easy muffins your own, you certain could: Add a bit of lemon zest or a sprinkling of ground coriander to the muffin batter for brighter flavor, or switch out the sugar crust for a brown-sugar streusel topping. ![]() The real genius of this homemade blueberry muffin recipe, though, is that it’s truly quick to throw together-plus, almost all of the ingredients are pantry staples. The result: the best blueberry muffins we’ve ever had. Before baking, you’ll add a pinch of coarse sugar to the top of the muffins to gild them with a shimmery, crunchy dome. Just don’t thaw them before folding them in, or you risk soggy muffins.) The batter has a bit of sour cream, giving the muffins a very tender crumb and a gentle tang. The muffins are slightly sweet, but not so sweet you’d mistake them for cupcakes, and chock-full of fresh blueberries. This easy blueberry muffin recipe is an Epicurious classic.

Devour tours reviews11/19/2023 ![]() And even though a lot of the history recounted was familiar after going on multiple tours in 48 hours that covered a lot of the same ground, there were still tidbits and takes that were a little different. Looking at it now, they absolutely delivered. The Devour website description of this tour is very accurate, which I appreciate. I understand that that’s probably the best place to seat a food tour, but it was almost uncomfortable. I will say though that sitting around a small table on the second floor was rather hot. Our final stop was essentially a full meal with a starter, entrée, and dessert. I appreciated that there were alcoholic beverages at every stop, a place to sit even in crowded places, and plenty of walking and history in between. I do wish I had been brave enough to try drinking wine from the carafe, and I felt that it went to waste because so many of us were too chicken to try. ![]() The next stop was one that no other food tours go to it felt very authentically local and the snacks were delicious. I was extremely impressed by the care they took with one of the guests with celiacs (even though the website says they can accommodate gluten-free guests but not celiacs) they were very careful at every stop and provided nice substitutions. I will note that the first stop was the same as the first stop on our other Barcelona food tour, and some of the items we had were the same, but some were different, so I didn’t mind the repeat. ![]() Sometimes, they’re a bit more expensive, but I have generally found it worth the difference. I’ve been on a Devour tour before and I had great experience with their customer support, so I was happy to see their offerings in Barcelona. Usually, I like to take food tours at the beginning of a visit, which we also did, but they also make great final dinners, so that is what I booked this tour for. I’ve been on many (50+) food tours, so I appreciate when there’s an added element of history. This was the last of our tours on a 16-day vacation, and the last of 5 tours in Barcelona alone, so by the time we met up with our group of 8 and our guide Eric, an American who was able provide some insight as an expat, I knew some of the info might be a repeat, but I actually liked getting so many slightly different takes on a really interesting city.

It would be harder to argue the merits of the chrome band that splits the C-pillar and separates the rear quarter window from the rest of the greenhouse. It projects either assertiveness or confusion. The DRLs stand upright, flanking stacked headlight housings. ![]() Refreshed for 2023, the Hyundai Palisade gets busy on the outside with a wide cascading grille plated like a printing press, and tipped with indicator lights. Is the Hyundai Palisade a good-looking car? An electronic gear shifter that takes up a lot less space than the mechanical shifter in the Highlander. Storage spaces abound in either model, with a smart shelf above the glove box highlighting the space optimization. The Grand Highlander benefits from newness inside with an available 12.3-inch touchscreen that fits better in the dash, even if it sticks up like a digital thumb. The vertical face and scalloped rocker panels look more like the Palisade than the Highlander, but Toyota wraps the back end in a more cohesive package than the Hyundai. Not only is the Grand Highlander 6.5 inches longer, 2.3 inches wider, and 2.0 inches taller than the Highlander, it’s smoother and more sophisticated than the Highlander. The ends of the standard Highlander have gotten sharper, giving it an edge, but it still wears the same body bulge that rises over the rear fender as in the Sienna minivan. The Grand Highlander dwarfs the carryover Highlander that appears dated in comparison. Is the Toyota Highlander a good-looking SUV?

You have to pay someone to do it and it will cost you.dearly. So the cost savings are off set with hard wrench work. But, you will work much harder to install the coil spacer kit and still spend a couple 100 dollars in additional parts. The Crown Vic shocks everyone loves need the lower bolt grommet drilled out and the grommet from the oem shock pushed in.Īnd after you do all this you will still save $100's of dollars installing a spring spacer lift kit over a pricey Australian spring and strut/shock kit. With the spacer kit installed you now need longer shocks and they are not usually direct bolt-on replacements. I again heated them up and banged them loose. My strut mount bolts were also critically fused solid from rust. Again i had to heat them up and needed to replace them. My sway bar was so rusted that it flaked away to nothing in my hands. In my case I had to get replacement tie-rod ends from Hawk because mine on the truck were so rusted and fused i had to practically melt them off (well really I heated them cherry red and bang away at it till they loosened.but either way they were ruined) You are not usually done spending money after buying the kit.īeing a decade or more old these trucks usually have considerable rust on their suspension components. It can be an incredibly long, nerve racking, and pricey install. most can't just jack up their car and install it with basic tools. It's not as easy as buying it and slapping it on. But to no fault of Jeff at all there was considerable cost above and beyond Jeff's kit in order to lift my track kick. ![]() I bought Jeff's kit and it's excellent for a great and fair price. Understand the newest 1st gen track kick is now 12 years old (the 1st gens stopped production in 1998) Mine is a 1995 so it's now 15 years old and i live in snowy Michigan so pretty much everything under the car is rusted. A not so well preserved normal/average condition track kick is where the install of any lift can and will in fact bleed you of money. We all throw around how easy a lift spacer kit install can be and although they are a cheap to acquire kit and a fairly easy to lift to install on a well preserved trucklet. I'd also like to add age and condition of the vehicle also come into play.

But when kids see a smiling person speaking to them from in front of the lens they are naturally drawn to that face.

Back of neck diagram11/18/2023 Number one is to get up and move frequently. If you have tech neck, how can you alleviate the symptoms? ![]() Most people do this intuitively by using reclining chairs when they are relaxing because it doesn’t hurt the neck or back as much as sitting straight. So your spine sees a lot less force and, as a result, you hurt a lot less. When you lean back, part of your body’s weight goes into the chair, instead of straight down your spine. In this position, the discs in the back as well as the neck are subjected to much lower forces than in an upright position, and the muscles in the back of the neck no longer have to contract to hold your head up. So, if you sit up straight for hours, you may end up with both back and neck pain.Ī better way to sit is with the chair reclining 25 to 30 degrees with good lumbar support to prevent slouching. When you sit with your back straight, you not only put a lot of force on the discs in your lower back, but the muscles in the back of the neck have to contract to hold the head up. Most people have been told to sit up straight when working on a computer.

It’s a problem that’s bound to get worse as people spend more time on their devices.

Govos heals and aids the wounded and through the traumatizing experience of letting some die, to save others, he learns a Kinkou lesson known as "The Lesson of the Scales".

Govos did not do well at first, but he continued to spar over and over again. Kusho ordered his son to spar with the servant child. The opportunity finally came to him when Master Kusho and his son Shen walked up to Govos. It was his hope that if he showed his determination, that Kusho wouldn't walk out on Govos the way his father had. As a child, it was his dream to become a Kinkou warrior. A servant boy whose duties included washing floors and cleaning dishes, he only had spare time to train in the evenings after all his work was done. For two years, nobody from the Kinkou would claim him as their neophyte and apprentice. Born as a Northern peasant child, Govos was a servant at the Thaanjul monastery at around age 10.
