![]() Romaine and Apple Salad – Halved romaine heads serve as deliciously edible bowls for a salad of sliced apples topped with homemade blue cheese dressing. Let's wrap up with a few more recipes for this almost inseparable pair.Įveryone relishes creative culinary options, so we offer these ideas for making the most of whole heads and romaine hearts. Slice a head in half, braise it with bacon and mustard, and celebrate how a whole head of lettuce can sometimes be greater than the sum of its parts. Rinsed, drained and chopped, heads and hearts can pan fry or slow roast. There aren’t many other lettuces that boldly take the heat in a kitchen like a hearty head of romaine. Keep hearts and heads together, and this versatile vegetable bridges cultural and national borders. ![]() We appreciate the tasty touches romaine heads bring to a plate. Hearts will always be the center of Caesar salads. This trend is finally becoming a menu regular embracing the entire head of lettuce, and that’s a culinary attitude we’re very happy to endorse. Root to stem cooking also inspires home and professional chefs to incorporate nutritious romaine into different recipes. Stack, roll and slice a romaine chiffonade to shower over your next entree salad. Romaine heads serve with styleĬrisp texture and a rich green color make romaine heads natural ingredients for all kinds of dishes.Īpply artful knife skills, and heads become a stylish addition to veggie sides or a garnish for sophisticated plates. That’s a quality we always admire in food stars. The Caesar maintains its classic status by lending itself to irresistible versions of the original. In the nearly 60 years since then, that simple salad has become world-famous and still wows admiring appetites at home dinners and restaurant tables. Her brief and delightful memoir seems to confirm the origins of this classic dish that still centers around pale, slightly sweet hearts of romaine lettuce. Julia Child often shared a wonderful story about her first Caesar salad and how she enjoyed it with her family at a Tijuana restaurant. If you’re developing a restaurant menu that showcases guest-pleasing, veggie-centric choices, this premium produce serves up delicious versatility. If you’re designing a healthy diet around veggies that deliver plenty of natural goodness, romaine lettuce belongs at the top of your grocery list. It’s an appetizing source of vitamins A, C and K as well as protein, iron and calcium. The popular lettuce scores very high marks per 1-cup serving with 8 calories and a full gram of dietary fiber. Romaine hearts and heads boast the same impressive nutritional profile. The outer leaves on whole heads enjoy more exposure, and that increases chlorophyll production while the hearts remain a pale shade of green. It’s simply the result of California sunshine. The color of romaine’s components doesn’t affect the levels of healthy goodness served up by either hearts or heads. This contrast may be the source of some nutritional confusion. The outer wrapping sports a rich, dark green color while the inner core reflects softer, paler shades. The obvious difference between hearts and heads comes clearly into view when you peel open a head of romaine. How are romaine hearts and heads different? Individual hearts are prepped by trimming the whole head down to its crispy inner leaves.Īfter a good field rinse and close inspection, we transfer the romaine heads and hearts to cool storage.įrom there, we pack and ship the harvest fresh from our fields to your table. Romaine heads are harvested by cutting each one at its root base. Our teams do the bulk of the work by hand. Here at Hitchcock Farms, we grow and harvest premium romaine year-round. How are romaine heads and hearts harvested? The sturdy heads and crisp hearts offer a wide range of culinary possibilities that make this salad green tastefully unique. You can purchase a similar variety of Lactuca sativa today as whole heads, or you can buy the hearts already trimmed of their outer leaves. Their hieroglyphics from 4500 BC are graced with leafy vegetables that strongly resemble our modern romaine. Whole romaine lettuce boasts a proud heritage that dates back to the ancient Egyptians. Romaine offers both the nutritional value of leafy lettuces and the juicy crispness of head lettuces.Īs you consider tender romaine hearts and their flavorful outer leaves, these five food facts carry significant weight. We prefer to cheer on both because they combine to deliver the best of two lettuce types.

![]() You just cant rely on a massive stock of potions anymore.Īll in all, it kicks ass, anyone out there with a DS, a spare (~39 USD, ~80 AUD/NZD, ?GBP) and a few hours to burn, consider it. This bugged me initially, but you get used to it. Oh, and when one of your guys dies, you can either get him/her back with raise (which, remember, you have from lvl 1), or switch to their ghost and look for phoenix down, which is now a drop (which again, auto-uses). You can find potions around the maps, in barrels usually, or chests, but when you grab them they auto-drink. You can carry a crapton of equipables, and a crapton of loot, but nothing that you can "use up". You cant carry potions with you, or bring phoenix down, or those random items that cast boss spells for you. The extra ram dongle might help this, I doubt it. Luckily, lag is infrequent/nonexistant when there are enemies around. Something about the shower of physical objects might have something to do with it (:P) but still, you'd think this would be optimised out. The DS occasionally lags after you beat a boss and they drop 30 drops of loot and gil. It's definitely more fun to play multiplayer, in any case (or just have a party of 2) ![]() Using the "tap L to bring your party back together" mechanic makes it bearable, but you find yourself either dedicating a spellcaster to "use magic like crazy" and then defending them from harm, or just spamming cure every 30 seconds in a boss fight. There are 5 AI modes which can be set and reset at any time, and you can switch control to them at any time, so you could feasably micromanage how they behave, but it's too much work. Dude, its a dungeon crawler on the DS, it's damn polished, it plays like it should, go get it Makes killing a really annoying boss a lot less "ffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-" inducing. new areas open up as you progress the story, and each of those can generally eat between 40 minutes and 2.5 hours of your time, depending on how good you are and what difficulty you are playing-game over isn't very frustrating: you warp back to the start of the dungeon, but all the puzzles are generally still completed, and you dont lose exp or loot. I loved this little fact, even though it had no effect on gameplay-Pretty big world for a DS cart This makes getting that new awesome armour you've been saving loot and gil for a hell of a lot more rewarding, and the game as a whole awesome in general. Everything you equip makes a visual different to your character. A crapton of equipment: theres some ludicrous number of items, race specific stuff, quest uber items, etc, and it's all pretty balanced (once you get to hard mode anyway ) ![]() There is an alright chat system implemented, but voice chat would have been nicer. MULTIPLAYER OH GOD: you can play with bots (more on that later), or use wifi or wireless play to play with friends. Solid item creation and upgrade system, based on looting. Each race plays differently (eg yutes are the magewhores of the land, whilst selkies can double jump etc etc) and all of them look pretty cool. eh, still, the stacking mechanic worked very well.-4 different races, with a character for each gender per race. the magic system works very well, though i wasn't sure weather I liked having every spell from the start. hard and very hard modes live up to their names the bosses are giant, and usually require you to climb up them like ants and bash them in the head. There is no such thing and random encounters, everything happens on the map, and the controls are pretty solid. So, some screenshots and promotional stuff: I don't care, I do, I haven't used it that much (mostly mario kart and the SM64 port, but a few others too), but I got this for christmas and have been meaning to make a post about it since then. You might argue that the DS sucks and is a useless console. That might not seem like it's saying much.

More people need to know about this pump! Throughout the day, my Spectra would normally pump on average around 3-3.5 oz, but I get 4-6 oz with the Genie Advanced! It is unreal the difference! I wish I’d know about Pumpables before purchasing my Spectra… I really would like to try the SuperGenie and use the different programs you can load to the pump. I was skeptical because I didn’t think I would see a difference and really only purchased the Genie Advanced for portability, but MAN what a difference! For reference, I yield about 2.5-5 oz per pumping (depending on the time of day), but I get at least 3 oz with the Genie Advanced during my evening pumping session (which is my lowest) and I only get around 2.5 with my Spectra S1. Despite having the correct sizing for my Spectra, I get SO MUCH more milk from my Genie Advanced. ![]() After sizing with Pumpables, I found out I actually needed size 17mm inserts (which I then purchased for my Spectra). I originally was using the 24 mm flanges that came with my Spectra S1 pump and my lactation had given me size 19mm inserts. I had no idea how important it was until I started looking into getting the Genie Advanced. That is how strong this pump is! I also really enjoy the liquid shields and am grateful that Pumpables is adamant about correct sizing. Fro reference, I use the level 8 vacuum on cycle 54 on my Spectra S1 and I only have to use the level 3 vacuum on the 1st cycle with the Genie Advanced. I LOVE the size and power of this portable pump. Oh how I wish I had a Genie from day one! Not only is the price very reasonable and comparable to other high-end brands or pumps, but the quality is great! I had never heard of it until I started following Tamari Jacob (aka The One With The Pump) and she raved about it. I have used a Spectra S1 per recommendation from many of my friends. I wish I had started with Pumpables from the very beginning! I gave birth 01/16/22 and have breastfed and pumped since then. The flange length is also shorter than I’m used to so that might be why I need the smaller size? Not sure if I will order them because the liquid kit is great but it’s just more pump parts that I don’t need since I can use all my spectra parts no problem. ![]() The liquid flanges are great but I found even though I’m a 21mm with my spectra I need the smaller size since the silicone is very flexible. The settings are easy to use & I feel like these settings empty me faster! Highly recommend if you’re a spectra pump user, you will NOT be disappointed! I read reviews saying the Pumpables have a similar vibration to the spectra which I respond really well to so I was excited to give it a try! I’m obsessed! My output is great, if not better than my spectra & I love that I can use this pump with any flanges! It’s lightweight to wear on my neck with the lanyard & small enough it doesn’t take up a lot of room in my backpack.
![]() Part of a wider NASA effort to enable free-space optical communications between space and the ground, PEACOQ is based on the detector developed for NASA’s Deep Space Optical Communications ( DSOC) technology demonstration. “In the long term, it could provide an answer to the question of how we transmit quantum data around the world.” “In the near term, PEACOQ will be used in lab experiments to demonstrate quantum communications at higher rates or over greater distances,” said Craiciu. Moreover, PEACOQ is equipped with 32 nanowires so that others can pick up the slack while one is “dead.” When one nanowire in the detector is hit by a photon, it is momentarily unable to detect another photon – a period called “dead time” – but each superconducting nanowire is designed to have as little dead time as possible. This keeps the nanowires in a superconducting state, which is required for them to be able to turn absorbed photons into electrical pulses that deliver the quantum data.Īlthough the detector needs to be sensitive enough for single photons, it is also designed to withstand being hit by many photons at once. Each nanowire is 10,000 times thinner than a human hair.įunded by NASA’s Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) program within the agency’s Space Operations Mission Directorate and built by JPL’s Microdevices Laboratory, the PEACOQ detector must be kept at a cryogenic temperature just one degree above absolute zero, or minus 458 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 272 degrees Celsius). Measuring only 13 microns across, it is composed of 32 niobium nitride superconducting nanowires on a silicon chip with connectors that fan out like the plumage of the detector’s namesake. But for these entangled photons to be received on the ground by a quantum computer’s terminal, a highly sensitive detector like PEACOQ is needed to precisely measure the time it receives each photon and deliver the data it contains. Pairs of entangled photons are so intimately connected that measuring one immediately affects the results of measuring the other, even when they are separated by a large distance. Those nodes would relay data by generating pairs of entangled photons that would be sent to two quantum computer terminals hundreds or even thousands of miles apart from each other on the ground. ![]() “A new detector technology like the PEACOQ that can measure single photons with a precision of a fraction of a nanosecond enables sending quantum information at higher rates, farther.”įor quantum computers to communicate beyond these limitations, a dedicated free-space optical quantum network could include space “nodes” aboard satellites orbiting Earth. “Transmitting quantum information over long distances has, so far, been very limited,” said PEACOQ project team member Ioana Craiciu, a postdoctoral scholar at JPL and the lead author of a study describing these results. No other detector has achieved that rate. Like measuring individual droplets of water while being sprayed by a firehose, the Performance-Enhanced Array for Counting Optical Quanta (PEACOQ) detector is able to measure the precise time each photon hits it, within 100 trillionths of a second, at a rate of 1.5 billion photons per second. To help form such a network, a device has been developed by scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Caltech that can count huge numbers of single photons – quantum particles of light – with incredible precision. But to communicate over long distances, quantum computers will need a dedicated quantum communications network. Quantum computers hold the promise of operating millions of times faster than conventional computers.
