America's only slightly tarnished domestic goddess seems an obvious choice for a killer mac recipe – in all senses, given the amounts of cheese and butter involved.Īfter a brief, and patriotic lecture on the history of the dish, Martha opines that, "making it more comforting, cheesier" is "a completely worthwhile way to spend your time." She seems to have done a lot of work on the latter objective: I have to put an entire large block of cheddar in, and a sizeable slab of gruyère. While cruising mac and cheese forums online (I promise I haven't made these up), I notice one recipe comes up more than any other: Martha Stewart's "crack and cheese", so named because of its alleged addictive qualities. Comfort food hasn't changed much, it seems. If not the prettiest of dishes, it's oddly satisfying, in an intensely cheesy, gloopy, buttery sort of way. The macaroni, (which should be "tender but perfectly firm, no part being allowed to melt, and the form entirely preserved" – lest one be tempted to cook it for so long it actually disintegrated) is then topped with more cheese, pepper and breadcrumbs, before receiving a final dose of melted butter for good measure and being placed before a "bright fire" to brown the crumbs, or grilled with a salamander ("more expeditious" apparently, but I make do with an electric grill). After a mere hour at a "quick boil", my pan boils dry, and I'm forced to move on to the next stage of the recipe, tipping the gluey mass into a dish, and sprinkling with a quite impressive amount of parmesan cheese and butter. ![]() It has little in common with anything I've made so far, but ticks a fair few boxes in the iSpy book of Victorian cooking cliches by instructing me to cook the macaroni, in a pan of milk and water, for 1½ to 1¾ hours, until "quite tender". It makes sense then, to turn to my trusty Mrs Beeton for a recipe, and she doesn't disappoint, with directions for macaroni "as usually served with the cheese course", as well as as distinctly less pleasant sounding sweet milk pudding made with the stuff. It's all very refined, down to the parmesan topping, but I miss the velvety texture of the plain white sauce, and find the onion too bullyingly dominant: macaroni cheese should be something one could happily eat in bed, should opportunity call, and alliums and pillows should never mix. Bolder still, they suggest chucking in some sliced onion or leeks, softened in a little butter, along with a small bunch of chopped chives along with the sauce and pasta. This means infusing the milk with a bay leaf and black pepper before making the white sauce, and then adding a mature Lancashire cheese, as well as a slug of double cream. The other is, that because "almost all the joy of eating Macaroni Cheese comes from its creamy sauce", it's worth "going to town" on the seasoning and an "assertively flavoured" cheese. A few pointers, they insist, "will help to make this familiar yet sometimes disappointing dish into superior comfort food." Photograph: Felicity CloakeĪfter pointing out that there's "very little to get wrong here", Simon Hopkinson and Lindsey Bareham deliver a googly in The Prawn Cocktail Years by calling for penne, rather than macaroni "because the cheese sauce is better able to flow inside this larger-sized pasta".

Instaling Bookends1/1/2024 ![]() ![]() Polyisocyanurate foam is the most expensive type of foam, but it also has the highest R-value. It is also more durable than extruded polystyrene, but it is heavier and more difficult to work with. However, it is not very effective at insulating and does not hold up well in the weather.Įxpanded polystyrene is a better choice for insulation because it has a higher R-value (the measure of how effective insulation material is at preventing heat transfer). It is also lightweight and can be easily cut and shaped. It comes in two varieties, extruded and expanded.Įxtruded polystyrene is the most common type of insulation because it is cheap and easy to produce. Polystyrene foam is a more affordable option than polyurethane foam, and it is the most commonly used type of insulation. The downside to open-cell foam is that it is not waterproof. It also provides a bit of insulation even when there are gaps in it because it traps some air even though it doesn’t keep out water. Open-cell foam is more effective at adding insulation than closed-cell foam, so it’s a good choice for roofs that have been exposed to the elements. The downside to closed-cell foam is that because it contains no air, it can’t easily add insulation. It is also completely waterproof, which makes it a great choice if you live in an area where it rains often or if your roof tends to hold water after storms. Open-cell foam is soft to the touch (although it feels like regular roofing insulation on your roof), while the closed-cell foam is harder than rubber.Ĭlosed-cell foam provides the best insulation of the roof because there are no air pockets. There are two primary types of polyurethane foam on the market today, open cell and closed cell. ![]() There are many different types, including polyurethane foam, polystyrene foam, and polyisocyanurate foam. The variety of materials available when it comes to making your foam board for spray foam roofing can be confusing. There are a few different types of foam, each of which has different advantages and disadvantages. It can be used on new construction or on existing buildings, and it is an especially good choice for buildings that are in cold climates or that have a lot of exposed metal. Spray foam roofing is known today because it is a very effective way to insulate and weatherproof a building.

New rec tec bullseye review1/1/2024 GrillGrates turn your pellet grill into the most versatile outdoor grill. ![]() When this happens, the fan in the pellet grill turn off, which ultimately turns off the grill. In testing, we have found that with too many GrillGrate panels, heat can get trapped. Please note: Pellet Grill sear stations do not provide full grill coverage in order to allow ample airflow. The sizzling-hot valleys vaporize drippings and juices, retaining moisture and enhancing flavor. When we say better, juicier food every time – we mean it! It is central to the innovative design of this grate. GrillGrate’s air flow vents and flat side work together to trap grease, prevent charring, and block those pesky flare-ups that tend to engulf and dry out food. As opposed to traditional grill surfaces that merely just hold the food above the heat source, GrillGrates concentrate heat through the patented raised rail design cooking food faster and more evenly.

Sentinel heartworm medicine1/1/2024 ![]() Is There a Risk of Overdosing with Sentinel? If ticks are a concern, you’ll need to use a separate tick prevention product or a comprehensive product that includes tick prevention. While Sentinel provides broad protection against heartworms, hookworms, roundworms, whipworms, and fleas, it does not protect against ticks. However, always consult with your veterinarian before starting any new medications or supplements to ensure there are no potential interactions. In most cases, Sentinel can safely be used alongside other medications. Can Sentinel be Used with Other Medications? If it’s close to the time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and return to the regular dosing schedule. If you miss a dose of Sentinel, administer it as soon as you remember. As with all medications, it’s important to administer the correct dosage based on your puppy’s weight to prevent potential overdosing. Yes, Sentinel can be used in puppies, but they must be at least 4 weeks old and weigh more than 2 pounds. If your dog exhibits unusual behavior or seems excessively tired after taking Sentinel, it’s a good idea to consult your veterinarian. Other possible side effects include vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite, and itching. Fatigue is not a common side effect, but individual dogs may react differently. While Sentinel is generally well-tolerated by most dogs, like all medications, it can potentially cause side effects. On the other hand, lufenuron, which controls fleas, is stored in the body and released slowly over time, providing a full month of protection against flea infestations. This means it starts working quite rapidly. Milbemycin oxime, one of the active ingredients in Sentinel, achieves its peak concentration in a dog’s system within one hour after administration. The milbemycin oxime in Sentinel is effective at eliminating adult stages of hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms, but it primarily works to eliminate the tissue stage of heartworm larvae to prevent heartworm disease. For this, a separate adulticide may be required. However, it does not kill adult fleas currently infesting your dog. Sentinel effectively halts the development of flea larvae, preventing them from maturing into adult fleas. Does Sentinel Kill Existing Fleas and Worms? They are the best source of guidance for your pet’s health and can provide personalized advice based on your dog’s size, breed, age, and overall health condition.įrequently Asked Questions 1. If you suspect an overdose or have concerns about potential side effects, always contact your veterinarian immediately. Sentinel should be given once a month, preferably on the same date each month, to maintain its effectiveness. While it’s crucial to know how long Sentinel stays in a dog’s system, what’s more important is ensuring that the medication is administered accurately and on time. The Bottom Line: Timely and Accurate Administration is Key While this might be alarming, in most cases, the dog will be fine, although it’s always best to consult with a veterinarian in such instances. If a small dog accidentally ingests a dose meant for a larger dog, it typically equates to a 3-4 times overdose. When it comes to overdosing, Sentinel generally has a wide margin of safety. There would be no harm in giving an additional dose, even if one was given the previous week. Given the short duration of milbemycin oxime in the system, it’s generally safe to redose a full dose of Sentinel even if it’s administered a week early. What Happens If Sentinel is Given Early or in Overdose? This ensures its ongoing activity against flea infestations. On the other hand, the second ingredient lufenuron is stored in the animal’s body fat and is slowly released over the month. However, both milbemycin and ivermectin (another commonly used heartworm prevention ingredient) are only present in the body for about 24 hours while they kill a certain stage of the heartworm larvae. The Absorption and Elimination of SentinelĪfter administering Sentinel orally to your furry friend, the active ingredient milbemycin oxime is well-absorbed and reaches peak plasma concentrations within a median of 1 hour (range of ½ – 24 hours) at the recommended dose. Lufenuron, on the other hand, is an insect development inhibitor that curbs the growth of flea larvae, preventing them from maturing into adult fleas. Milbemycin oxime protects dogs against heartworms, hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms. Sentinel is a beef-flavored chewable tablet that contains two active ingredients: milbemycin oxime and lufenuron. References Understanding Sentinel for Dogs
