![]() This type of sugar is typically used in baked goods and its fine crystals help to keep it from caking together. Perhaps a bit of bright pink and dazzling red for Valentine’s day? The sky’s the limit! The Many Types of Sugars Available White Sugar Common types of sugars include white granulated sugar, which can easily be found on the shelves in the grocery store. You can even make your own colors of sanding sugar, if you’re feeling particularly industrious and motivated. This makes sanding sugar an excellent addition to your holiday baking arsenal, because you can dress up your deserts as festively or as simply as you like. This coarse and often sparkling sugar helps to add a special crunch and extra flair to even the simplest of offerings. It's great for decorating treats like cookies, cakes, scones, muffins, and even candies. ![]() It also creates a sparkly effect because of the large size of the crystals that reflect light. Sanding sugar is a large crystal sugar that's great for decorating because it won't dissolve with heat. Sanding sugar, in particular, is especially fun and versatile. Really, there is no end to the uses of sugar! However, there is a wide world of sugar out there, and different types of sugar are used for a variety of different things. It may also be used as an added dash of sweetener to bowls of cereal or oatmeal in the morning, or as a tasty topping on a batch of fresh strawberries. This type of sugar is used primarily for making baked goods and sweetening up teas and coffees. Most of the time when you hear the word sugar, you think of the four and five pound bags often found in local grocery stores. Reheat very briefly in the microwave, if desired.Sugar is a very important ingredient in baking, not only for its power to sweeten yummy desserts, but also for its ability to help get a lovely rise in yeasted breads and rolls. Wrap any leftovers airtight, and store at room temperature. Remove the scones from the oven, and serve warm. If you pull one of the scones away from the others, the edges should look baked through, not wet or doughy. NOTE: Don't skip this step! It helps the butter to product steam and you get tender scones.īake the scones for 22 to 25 minutes (mine took 20 minutes), or until they're golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean, with no wet crumbs.

Round each half into a 5" circle (if you haven't incorporated any add-ins) or a 6" circle (if you've added 2 cups of fruit, nuts, etc.). Scrape the dough onto the floured parchment or pan, and divide it in half. Sprinkle a bit of flour atop the parchment or pan.

![]() Maybe you don’t care about the ratcheting feature and are curious about some less expensive models, or you’re just looking for more of an opportunity to weigh your options.īelow are some other contenders we recommend. But all of the others on the list do require you to do most of the work. The model we recommend requires no twisting, as it has the ratcheting feature. ![]() Handle – Since you will be holding on to the handle and twisting it the majority of the time, you’ll want this to be very comfortable, with a nice grip. If the blade is weak, it will tear the fruit rather than cutting it, leaving you with a lot of ripped pieces and a big mess, with a lot of wasted juice. It’s a little hard to tell before using, so we suggest reading reviews before you make a purchase. The plastic models don’t last long, usually around 1-2 uses, and aren’t a good option for the environment as they take a very long time to break down after they’ve been tossed in the trash.īlade – This should be very sharp, and of good quality. Material – This tool should be made out of stainless steel, as the fruit it will be used on is very tough, and you’ll want the product to be able to handle a little force. ![]() When looking for the best product, below are a few things we considered before making our decision, and we suggest you do the same. Things You Should Look at When Choosing A Model Users love how strong and sturdy this model is, and highly recommend this over the plastic versions you can also buy online.Ĭheck the price and read all of the customer reviews on Amazon now. They deemed it a very efficient product, especially when compared to others in this category. Push the release button to pop off the handle and flip over the blade, and slide the rings off the tool.Ī few users tested this tool to see if it wasted any of the fruit, and found that very little was wasted. With one hand on the fruit and the other on the tool, pull up and remove the fruit.ĥ. Next, place the blade in the middle and, using the ratchet, you’ll move the blade down to the point you measured.Ĥ. Then, using the measurement feature, figure out how far down you need to go (this will prevent piercing the bottom, like I mentioned above)ģ. First, you simply cut off the top of the fruit.Ģ. If you haven’t seen one of these in action, allow me to explain the process. It’s stainless steel and comes with a sharp blade that effortlessly cuts through the fruit without making a mess. ![]() This product is dishwasher safe and compact enough that it can be stored in your utensil drawer. The empty shell can then be re-filled with fresh fruit for a nice centerpiece on your dinner table. The measurement feature is also very nice, as it prevents you from piercing the bottom of the shell (very easy to do once you get started). OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Ratcheting Pineapple Slicer with Depth Guide The top easily pops off, and the slices slide down the handle.

If you can relate, and have been passing on the fresh, whole variety due to the intense concentration and tenacity required to cut into the thing, or the price of the pre-cut stuff, then let me tell you, there is a better option out there… However, pre-cut and pre-packaged fresh fruit can be rather expensive, so what’s a pineapple lover to do? With the prickly outer layer and the hard core, I’ve skipped buying fresh in the past because of time constraints, and because of the complicated and messy process it can involve. I think you’ll agree when I say pineapples can be pretty hard to cut into. Pineapples are one of the most delicious fruits on the planet, and they’re also rather unique.įor example, did you know that they grow in the ground on a plant rather than up in a tree, and take three years to mature?

Some of your dragon traits need level requirements.Flight just seems too iconic for a dragon to have to make it a choice. Maybe 7? That's when normal characters start gaining that ability or spell. I'd also give the dragon flight at a certain level. It's drastically better than everything else, except maybe flight. Giving the dragon an ASI as a minor trait is a little weird.The dragon gets hella strong, probably way too strong, while the Dragon Knight would probably just end up hiding at higher levels. It also never really gets any stronger.It's a d6 hit dice like a wizard but can wear heavy armor like a fighter or paladin.I'm confused about what roll the actual dragon knight offers.Please do not insult me or anything like that, simply tell me if you think I balanced it well, If it is still over powered, or if I nerfed it too much (that one's unlikely, but idk) and, if you will be truly constructive and helpful, feel free to leave feedback about any other changes you would make to it. So, I was just curious if you guys could give me some constructive feedback on my work. I tried to make it such that (with average die rolls) that the dragon knight class would do a similar total damager per round to a fighter or other front line units. so, I copied it all over to a pages document and spent the last little bit editing it and nerfing almost everything about it, from the number of attacks you and your dragon can make, to the attacks themselves. ![]() Hello, I really want to play a dragon knight character, because the concept of it sounds like just a hell of a lot of fun and so I found one on the Dandwiki page, but it was clear that it had some fairly large issues with balance. ![]() Monstrous Compendium Vol 3: Minecraft Creatures This method will work well with most gear load-outs and can be a simple yet effective way of defeating it. This method is executed by simply excavating a large area in which the player can fight Plantera. (This can only work for farming Plantera, as both the Spectre armor and Vampire knives are only obtainable after Plantera is defeated). The use of auto-healing weapons is recommended as well, such as vampire knives, or mage weapons while the Spectre Armor (With hood) is equipped. Both of these things can trigger an unexpected enraged boss, significantly lowering any chance of survival regardless of the strategy. Take care to ensure the location Plantera is engaged at isn't at the edge of the Underground Jungle or above a depth of 0 (use a Depth Meter or the GPS to check). It may be possible to defeat it using a surface technique, or similarly kiting it to a different biome (such as the Underworld), however top tier equipment and weapons would be required. When enraged, Plantera is capable of killing the player instantly when hit, even with projectiles. It is highly inadvisable to fight Plantera on the surface or outside of the Underground Jungle since it enrages and deals far more damage than usual. Plantera continues to be faster and deal more damage.The tentacles are more durable than before.In addition to the tentacles that sprout from the main body, three more tentacles sprout on each arm (for a total of 9 extra).The Spiky Thorn Balls now attempt to home in on the player.Plantera's leaf attacks pass through walls in Expert Mode.Plantera is now faster, more damage resistant, and does more damage.There are significant differences in Plantera between normal and Expert Mode worlds. This is a perfect time to use Ichor based weapons (Which needs the Crimson to be loaded in the player's world or brought from another world with Crimson in it) to decrease its defense even more, in order to kill it faster. It stops shooting projectiles at this stage and increases its speed and decreases in defense. The fire rate of the spiked balls also gets faster as it approaches the second stage.Īfter losing half of its HP, Plantera loses its petals to reveal a carnivorous plant-like body and a multitude of tentacle-like vines (besides the 3 used for movement) which behave similarly to The Hungry. There is also an intermediate stage at around a quarter of its HP lost, where it starts shooting pink spiked balls that bounce off of walls, making it almost suicidal to fight in tight spaces. ![]() It shoots sharp leaves that do relatively little damage, which fire faster as its HP drops. If the player were to make it chase them into the daylight, it would move faster than normal in the open daylight than underground. ![]() The vines do not inflict damage while the "claws" on the ends do. It uses 3 vines to grab onto solid terrain to move. Plantera's main body appears to be a massive pink flower bulb, much like the plant that it was summoned from. 3.7 Deathbox Strategy (Mobile/Old-Gen Console only).

Product Features PROVEN PERFORMANCE Performance of 300 Blackout Subsonic meets or exceeds FBI Protocol terminal ballistic test requirements. ![]() Again, we were extremely impressed with the grip they developed in loose dirt. As a matter of fact, you can literally “play” with them, working them between 90 and 100% of their traction (its actually rather funny to see your tires spinning at about 3mph while your truck is moving at 2.5mph). Overall, the Grabber A/Ts give you excellent feedback on what’s going on below your floor panel, and if they break free, they do it in a way that feels very controllable. Loose dirt: If aired down to about 12 PSI, the tire bulges nicely, thus being able to work his shoulder lugs into the ground. Maybe with a stronger engine and higher revs they would sling a bit more hash, but don’t expect too much here. However, we feel that mud-performance was way within our expectations for an A/T tire. ![]() ![]() Although rather aggressive, the lugs could not self clean themselves as we have seen from other aggressive M/Ts. Mud: OK, here we came to the limits of this tire pretty fast. They did not “wheel-spin” as fast as the Wranglers did, thus they don’t dig into the sand as much, leaving you stranded. We were able to go places the Wranglers could not take us before and while climbing up dunes in low revs, the Grabbers did really bite in the sand, as they bulge very nicely at 8 PSI, thus providing us with excellent flotation. Sand: We aired the Grabbers down to 8 PSI and they performed much better than we anticipated. Wet roads were no problem at all, due to the rather pronounced exit channels within the tread that can dissipate more water at a quicker rate. Also braking behavior improved, leaving us with an increased feeling of safety. One thing we did notice is that the Grabber’s stopped nearly all of the understeer our truck had with the Wranglers. The Grabbers didn’t tend to squeak or rollover as fast as the Wranglers did. This is especially noticeable if you go up narrow, snaking mountain roads or take narrow turns in the city. Extremely tight turns can be taken faster (or equally fast with more margin of error). Our first set of tires were Goodyear Wrangler A/T’s and compared to these, the Grabbers are definitely a step forward on-road. Follow along as we test the General Grabber A/T’s in a variety of situations in South America. Typically, these are good for street type driving conditions like braking, steering and acceleration. Nevertheless, the interior lugs in are small enough to allow for a good amount of rubber to be contacting the ground. The first thing that strikes you when looking at the tire is the aggressiveness tread pattern, especially that of an “All Terrain.” This raised our expectations for its “off-roadability”. Additionally, the LT stands for Light Truck use. This translates loosely into an 29 X 9.5 LT tire. This means, the tire is 235mm wide, the wall-height is 75% of its width and they are fitted on 15″ wheels. These tires have been around for quite a while now and as the A/T in their name indicates, they are designed to work well in all terrain situations. This brings us to our next tire test, the GENERAL TIRE Grabber A/T’s. If you’ve been one of the poor souls that have made a poor choice, you could be stuck with your not-so upgrading purchase for as much as 30,000 miles or whenever your pocket book can support another purchase. There are lots of examples out there, where a poor tire-choice actually “down- grades” your rig. But lets face it… not all upgrades really “up-grade” your truck. For many of us, tires were, and still are the first performance upgrade.

"My mom reciting the poem, "The Night Before Christmas " which she knew by heart." Claudette I think I liked it more and I definitely appreciated it more because I know that my mother being a single parent really went out of her way to make me happy since it’s always been my favourite holiday."

"Going to sleep with the house in a mess and waking up to a complete transformation thanks to my sister, Rest In Peace." Leslie It makes me sad at times but the memories of how she transformed around that time also make me smile." Vaughnette Whenever I think of Christmas she is the first person I think about. She couldn’t do very much by the time I was a teen but she sure dictated the pace. Christmas was always the time when she became most animated. She was a beautiful, joyous, quiet woman who used her words sparingly (unlike me). "I was raised by grandparents and for most of those years, my grandmother didn’t experience the best of health. I love this walk down memory lane." Michelle The true gift is the peace, love and joy… The true gift is what we hold in our hearts, not our hands.

I'm grown now with a family of my own, we live in Canada and try as we might, we haven't been able to duplicate that exact smell." Carl growing up the house would have this potent smell for the entire Christmas season. Ham, bread, pastelles, cake and every other thing that's synonymous with Trini Christmas.

In those days soca parang wasn’t popular yet, she would be directing my twin sister and me during the cleaning, very strict with what was he wanted from us.
