![]() At lunch one day, a very earnest, effective and pleasant waiter brought out some fresh cilantro: "It goes so well with the cumin-taste lamb," he said. The dinner eggplant dish (steamed with minced pork) is sublime.in texture and flavor. (Fear not, there are many other more "Americanized", as the menu says, options!) CT's excels in doing simple things superbly (ordinary cabbage, for example, that becomes amazingly tasty after being sautéed with a few aromatics and the ubiquitous Szechuan peppers). For the admirer of tripe, for example, this represents a bonanza. At dinner, the choices expand considerably with a variety of rare (in most American Chinese places) ingredients, principally offal. At lunch, CTs features reasonably priced (ca $9) specials that are organized by taste (e.g., cumin flavored) or principal flavor ingredient (e.g., scallion or onion) that can be ordered with one's desired main element (lamb, beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, or, in my case, a real favorite: eggplant, in the wood ear and garlic combination). CT's earns this distinction with well-prepared and handsomely presented dishes from diverse Chinese culinary traditions, all in a smart setting, overseen by a knowledgeable and friendly wait. MoreĬhef Tan's sets a mark and reflects a standard rarely reached by other Chinese restaurants in this area. It could have been masquerading as a Cantonese dish. What I received was Sichuan lite! The meal I received had none of the spiciness and flavors I expected. Sichuan Cuisine is a spicy, robust cuisine. The chicken I ordered was supposed to be hot. The Dan Dan Noodles somehow morphed into a sesame paste and hot oi concoction, a most unpleasant combination. The food at that place was uniformly good and I considered the food to be authentic, 'a benchmark'. A placard in the lobby of that place stated, 'we are the official caterers to the Chinese Embassy'. For years I ate at a Sichuan restaurant on Lexington Ave in Manhattan. I ordered Dan Dan Noodles and Fried Chicken in Chongqing Style. The other diner was a vegetarian and was able to order a meal from the menu with modifications. No sooner had we received our menus then they were asking if we were ready to order. The wait staff might be a tad too attentive. The menu is attractive and well organized. Even though crowded, this place is large and the wait staff found us a table in a good location. my lunch partner and I are the only occidentals in a crowded restaurant. High ceilings, open and airy, this place is well designed. ![]() WOW! Walking into this newly opened branch of this restaurant at 558 Washington Blvd., Jersey City, NJ, 07310, one is immediately struck by how attractive the physical resturant is. ![]() If our first experience here repeats on our next visit, this Restaurant will surely become our new favorite casual Chinese “Go-To” places near our home. Wow – the peppery, hot and sweet flavors were memorable on our palates.Īll the servers were polite, friendly and professional, especially Johnny, who made valuable suggestions regarding the dishes from the Menu. For Dessert, we got the Fried Pumpkin Cookies. The combination of Fried Chicken Chongqing Style, Kung Pao Chicken, Garlic with Lettuce and Spicy Fish Tripe Hunan Style was absolutely perfect after the Hot Tea and Vegetable Spring Rolls for Appetizer. The spices were ample in the spicy foods, and just right in the moderately spicy dishes. Taking some suggestions from our server, we ordered a few dishes, and every single one was authentic and delicious. Their Menu was large with a variety of selections from the Sichuan and Hunan provinces. In spite of this, they seat families on alternate tables maintaining perfect social distancing and pandemic protocols. We found that the servers all wear masks, and the tables are spaced apart. We have passed this Restaurant several times, and finally decided to come in after.

Optionally, triple concertina fence could be strengthened with uprights, but this increases the construction time significantly. A triple concertina fence could be deployed very quickly: it is possible for a party of five men to deploy 50 yards (46 m) of triple concertina fence in just 15 minutes. The result is an extremely effective barrier with many of the desirable properties of a random entanglement. Triple concertina wire Ī barrier known as a triple concertina wire fence consists of two parallel concertinas joined by twists of wire and topped by a third concertina similarly attached. To compensate for the reduced effectiveness of Yellow Dannert, an extra supply of pickets were issued in lieu of screw pickets. This material was known as "Yellow Dannert" after the identifying yellow paint on the concertina handles. During the invasion crisis of 1940–1941, the demand for Dannert wire was so great that some was produced with low manganese steel wire which was easier to cut. ĭannert wire was imported into Britain from Germany before World War II. An individual Dannert wire concertina could be compressed into a compact coil that could be carried by one man and then stretched out along its axis to make a barrier 50 feet (15 m) long and each coil could be held in place with just three staples hammered into the ground. The result was entirely self-supporting it did not require any vertical posts. During the 1930s, German Horst Dannert developed concertina wire of this high-grade steel wire. Oil-tempered barbed wire was developed during World War I it was much harder to cut than ordinary barbed wire. Today, concertina wire is factory made and is available in forms that can be deployed very rapidly from the back of a vehicle or trailer. Such an obstacle is not very effective by itself (although it will still hinder an enemy advance under the guns of the defenders), and concertinas are normally built up into more elaborate patterns as time permits. Several such coils with a few stakes to secure them in place are just as effective as an ordinary barbed wire fence, which must be built by driving stakes and running multiple wires between them.Ī platoon of soldiers can deploy a single concertina fence at a rate of about a kilometer ( 5⁄ 8 mile) per hour. Ĭoncertina wire packs flat for ease of transport and can then be deployed as an obstacle much more quickly than ordinary barbed wire, since the flattened coil of wire can easily be stretched out, forming an instant obstacle that will at least slow enemy passage. There was what might be called a concertina craze on: innumerable coils of barbed wire were converted into concertinas by the simple process of winding them round and round seven upright stakes in the ground every new lap of wire was fastened to the one below it at every other stake by a twist of plain wire the result, when you came to the end of a coil and lifted the whole up off the stakes was heavy ring of barbed wire that concertina'd out into ten-yard lengths. ![]() Barbed wire concertinas could be prepared in the trenches and then deployed in no-man's-land relatively quickly under cover of darkness. Learning this lesson, World War I soldiers would deploy barbed wire in so-called concertinas that were relatively loose. Effective as these obstacles were, their construction took considerable time.īarbed wire obstacles were vulnerable to being pushed about by artillery shells in World War I, this frequently resulted in a mass of randomly entangled wires that could be even more daunting than a carefully constructed obstacle. More elaborate and formidable obstructions could be formed with multiple lines of stakes connected with wire running from side-to-side, back-to-front, and diagonally in many directions. Horizontal wires were attached to these diagonals. The double apron fence comprised a line of pickets with wires running diagonally down to points on the ground either side of the fence. At its simplest, such a barrier would resemble a fence as might be used for agricultural purposes. In World War I, barbed wire obstacles were made by stretching lengths of barbed wire between stakes of wood or iron. Origins A sketch of a typical concertina wire obstacle Concertina wire can be a feature of prisons. It is also used in non-military settings, such as when used in prison barriers, detention camps, riot control, or at international borders.ĭuring World War I, soldiers manufactured concertina wire themselves, using ordinary barbed wire. In conjunction with plain barbed wire (and/or razor wire/tape) and steel pickets, it is most often used to form military-style wire obstacles. Triple concertina wire fence Baled concertina wire prior to deploymentĬoncertina wire or Dannert wire is a type of barbed wire or razor wire that is formed in large coils which can be expanded like a concertina. ![]()
I use an equal mixture of cream and milk because I think that produces the best combination of silkiness plus the classic milk filling. Don't use a whisk as that produces too many air bubbles. ![]() I made the pastry 3 days ahead of time and kept it in the freezer ready for the day that I wanted to bake it.ĥ - I brush the tart with egg white to give the pastry a little glaze barrier so that the custard won't soak through as much and make the pastry wet.Ħ - Once the pastry is done, the filling is easy! But use a fork to beat the eggs first. I wish it had a removable base but it will do for now.Ĥ - You can do this tart in stages. I bought a tart tin that is 20cm/8inches on the base and then 23cms/9inches at the top rim and 5cms/2inches deep. Air pockets occur when the pastry is baking and the steam has nowhere to escape so it rises and produces large air pockets. Perforations in the tin will ensure that the base is completely cooked and crisp all over and will also prevent any air pockets in your pastry (which are just heartbreaking!). This is a recent purchase for me and I wish I had bought one earlier. It works because there is no water or liquid in the pastry which is what causes pastry to shrink when baked.Īir pockets in pastry-unfortunate and not desirableģ - If you do plan on making tarts or pies, consider investing in a perforated tart tin. Once baked it also pulls away from the tin making for easy removal. I love this pastry because it tastes wonderful, like shortbread, and yet doesn't shrink down and keeps folds. Alternatively you can buy bands that you place at the end of your rolling pins.Ģ- This pastry uses egg yolks and is based on the pate brisee pastry from the French fruit tart. If you make a lot of pies or tarts I definitely suggest investing in one and they're an inexpensive way to get great tarts and pies. To help me achieve this, I have a rolling pin with adjustable side measures that helps me get the pastry a consistent, specific thickness. This is important to get a perfect custard to pastry ratio. While the filling is a cinch (just whisking all ingredients together), you want to make sure that the pastry is perfect.ġ - Roll the pastry thinly: roll it to 2mm or 1/16th of an inch. These allow me to earn a small commission but at no extra cost to you. ![]() Nowadays I see these sorts of bakeries in some suburbs and in regional areas. As a child I wanted the frogs or jam tarts but as I got older it was the matchsticks and custard tarts. I have memories of pushing past the dangling plastic strip door curtain and entering and choosing from the display. Displays of matchsticks, finger buns, meringues, frog cakes and cream filled buns and these custard tarts fill the windows. ![]() You buy them from the old skool bakeries that are rapidly disappearing. I've made one version plain and one covered with fruit just to give you some decorating ideas. If you're as taken with these as I am, I hope you'll give this a go. ![]() The pastry is crisper and more buttery, the custard more appetisingly wobbly and scented with vanilla and fresh nutmeg. While the supermarket version is fine and satisfies a craving, nothing is as good as a home made version of this custard tart. I have to confess I often get one of these from the supermarket. And nothing quite beats a home made custard tart. The classic Australian custard tart is a wonderful mix of crisp pastry, a wobbly delicious creamy custard centre and a dusting of freshly grated nutmeg. ![]() ![]() With Ocrevus, Genentech did come up with a price that was slightly less than for rival drugs, but only after MS medicines were already extremely expensive. As newer drugs were brought to market, it promoted increased escalation in drug prices." "There was no competition on price that was occurring," said Daniel Hartung, the OHSU and Oregon State University professor who led the study. Over two decades ending in 2013, costs for MS medicines rose at annual rates five to seven times higher than those for prescription drugs generally, found a study by researchers at Oregon Health & Science University. Should I Try It?Įven in a world of soaring drug prices, multiple sclerosis medicines stand out. Shots - Health News There's An Amazing New Drug For Multiple Sclerosis. (Cleveland Clinic has provided financial support for NPR.) Service provider: Cleveland Clinic, a nonprofit, academic medical center based in Ohio. Medical service: Two Ocrevus infusions, each requiring several hours at the hospital. Hickson got a bill for about $3,620, the balance calculated as her share by the hospital after the insurance reimbursement. CareSource, Hickson's Medicare managed care plan, paid a discounted $28,960. Total bill: $123,019 for two Ocrevus infusions taken as an outpatient. Because her MS has left her too disabled to work, she is now on Medicare she also has Medicaid for backup. Patient: Shereese Hickson, 39, single mother who worked as a health aide and trained as a medical coder, living in Girard, Ohio. Hickson received her first two Ocrevus infusions as an outpatient two weeks apart in July and August. Hospitals delivering the drugs often make money by charging a premium on top of their cost or adding hefty fees for the infusion clinic. Such medicines have become increasingly expensive, priced in many cases at well over $80,000 a year. ![]() The drug is one of several for multiple sclerosis that are delivered intravenously in a hospital or clinic.
