![]() ![]() It's the side dish that often steals the show!īut hey, maybe you're more of a chitterlings kind of person? No judgment here! Chitterlings, or "chitlins" as they're affectionately known, have a special place in soul food history. And let's not forget the creamy, cheesy goodness of macaroni and cheese. Pair it with some collard greens cooked to perfection with a hint of smoky bacon, and you've got yourself a plate of heaven. It's a classic that never fails to hit the spot. So, let's get right to it-what's your go-to comfort dish? With such an incredible array of options, it's like choosing your favorite child, isn't it?Īh, fried chicken-crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. I haven’t made your recipe, but I am looking forward to it.Hey there, food lovers! □□ Welcome to our little corner of the internet where we celebrate the rich, flavorful world of African American Soul Food. I’ve already sent my email, and would love to chat with you. If there’s a group of people making soul food who make macaroni and cheese without flour, I’d love to find out more. I am curious as to the origin of this recipe is and your background with macaroni and cheese, because, as you say, “this is the kind of baked macaroni and cheese you probably had growing up in a soul food household”. On the other hand, this is the first “soul food” macaroni and cheese that uses a roux (with flour, milk and butter) as its base. In my class we have learned that soul food has been defined (from the Black Power movement of the 60’s) as the cuisine of black Americans from various backgrounds, and considering that you are a black American, this macaroni and cheese does count as such. ![]() I have been through dozens of proclaimed “soul food” macaroni and cheese recipes and not one of them has included flour. I am a student at Vanderbilt University taking one of the country’s premier soul food classes available in higher education. I posted a comment asking a question earlier this fall, and I am following up because your recipe intrigues me so. My next thing will be your caramel cake, my grandmother, would make this when we were kids but I have made this before but your cake recipe looks great an the icing too. So it would be Ok but never really great an what i was really looking for an searching for that particular taste ,an have been on the hunt for years ,but ms Rosie you win hand down ,I love love love it. The way my grandmother used to cook was amazing but everybody keeps the recipes quiet an on thevhush hush so i went looking on my own for years now, I knew how to make it, her way but never really had the measurements, we knew to put this in an that in but never the measurements exactly. To take to my sister in law’s ,daughter baby shower,so I made it yesterday it was fantastic Honey,it will surely be great for the baby shower, I am 45 years old an I do a lot of cooking 4 kids 1grand an hubby. Hi Rosie, Thank you for this awesome an amazing recipe, I made it yesterday for Sunday dinner,because i was looking for an amazing Mac an cheese. I actually shared a similar recipe many years ago. However, since then I’ve added more cheese, and changed the steps. Since I already have a southern baked macaroni and cheese recipe uploaded, I will share my soul food version. Why can’t I just like both of them?!! DON’T MAKE ME CHOOSE PEOPLE!! However, I can tell you that I prefer southern & soul food mac and cheese over the others. That’s like asking me to choose between Morris Chestnut and Idris Elba. If I had to pick my favorite recipe for macaroni and cheese, I probably couldn’t because there are way too many to choose from. Even as an adult, I still love me some macaroni and cheese. ![]() My favorite thing to sample was macaroni and cheese! I’d always make up an excuse for why I needed two bites to ” make sure” it was right… Yeah I was a greedy lil thang back then too! Especially when it came to mac and cheese! I’d just observe everything, and patiently wait for her to ask me to sample something. She’d turn on the radio, play that good ol’ r&b ( explains why I listen to r&b while I cook!), and go in! My mom would be in the kitchen all Sunday peeling potatoes for her southern potato salad, and cleaning fresh greens that she bought from the market. My mom would wake up early every Sunday to get started on dinner. I remember it just like it was yesterday. Yassss! Just the thought of it take me back to my childhood! I’m talking about crispy fried chicken, tender collard greens with ham hocks, buttery cornbread, and super creamy cheesy mac and cheese. There is something about homemade macaroni and cheese that makes me want a complete soul food meal. ![]() ![]() So, are there cases where an air pump is definitely needed? You’ll notice that we said that “in most cases” an air pump is not strictly required. Are there times when an air pump really is needed? It won’t do any harm if you do choose to add one – and your certainly won’t end up with too much oxygen in your water – but it won’t really add anything other than making your tank look nice. In these cases, whether or not to add an air pump to your goldfish tank is purely an aesthetic consideration. This oxygen will allow your fish to breathe just fine. In most cases, enough disturbance will be caused by the flow from your filter to get plenty of oxygen into your water. ![]() And an air pump is not the only way to create that disturbance. It is actually disturbance at the surface that really helps to dissolve oxygen into the water. ![]() You may be surprised to hear that all of those bubbles from the air pump don’t actually add much oxygen to the water at all. New goldfish keepers often see air pumps in goldfish tanks and assume that they are strictly required and that the fish will suffocate without one. As the air stone is submerged in your tank water, this flow of air creates a stream of bubbles. The air pump sends air along the tube and out of the tiny holes in the air stone. A piece of tubing will then run from the air pump, into your tank water and connect to something called an air stone. The air pump itself will sit outside your tank. ![]() The filter also becomes home to good bacteria, which help to remove dangerous chemicals from the water.Īn air pump does not filter the water. However, there is some confusion among beginners, who often confuse an air pump with a filter.Ī filter is a piece of equipment that draws water through filter media (such as sponges), in order to remove debris from the water. We’re sure that many of you are fully aware of what an air pump is. But what about an air pump?ĭo goldfish need an air pump in their tank? Will there be enough oxygen in the water if you don’t add an air pump? Read on to find out… As you may already be aware from browsing our other articles, goldfish definitely need a filter in order to keep their water parameters under control. ![]() ![]() ![]() So, Nerurkar emphasizes the importance of setting stricter boundaries for digital devices. It happens because our brains are overstimulated by the constant barrage of information coming at us online, which then makes it hard for people to disconnect from their devices and settle into the slower pace of life offline.

"They are scrolling through the headlines or social media or their email. Surveys also show that over 50% of people grab their phones within five minutes of waking up, and some even before their second eye is open, she says. Nerurkar cites research that people touch their phones - taps, swipes and clicks - an average of 2,617 times a day. This second reset is mostly about creating boundaries for our digital lives. Stop scrolling and carve out some quiet time T - for a timely goal that you can reach in a few months.Ģ.S - for a goal "that's small enough to virtually guarantee your success," writes Nerurkar.O - for a goal that's objective and measurable."When people focus on what matters most to them, it increases their feelings of 'Hey, I can do that!'"įor those who may be too overwhelmed to answer that, she offers an acronym, MOST, to guide your goal setting. "What you want to do is ask yourself the question, 'What matters most to me?'" she says. That's why she says it's important for each individual to first figure out what their goal is and why it's important to them. Goals should be small, achievable and aimed at something that matters a lot to you, says author Dr. The blood is shunted away from your vital organs to your muscles." "Your heart starts racing, your lungs start bringing oxygen into your body. This part of the brain puts the body into flight or fight mode. "Its sole purpose is survival and self-preservation." But that is a normal stress response, she explains.ĭuring periods of stress, our brains rely on the amygdala, a tiny, almond-shaped structure deep inside the brain. When someone is already stressed and overwhelmed, change can feel impossible and hopeless, says Nerurkar. The tools she offers are ways to incorporate rest and recovery into people's daily routines. Her book is intended to be a "road map" for anyone struggling with chronic stress and burnout, she says. They are essential for our brains and bodies to thrive." "Rest and recovery are not just nice-to-have luxuries. "But our brains and bodies were not designed to sustain this high level of stress and burnout with no respite or recovery," she adds. Stress and burnout - a syndrome of chronic workplace stress - are both at "unprecedented levels," says Nerurkar, who for many years counseled patients in her clinical practice for stress-related health issues. ![]() ![]() ![]() The main difference is that the -rt kernel should be based on the Ubuntu source tree (and therefore can use the same features, patches, enabled hardware, security fixes and so on) and should offer the same services that the Ubuntu default -generic kernel offers. The goal of a -rt kernel is to obtain a real time variant of the Ubuntu kernel that is aligned with the -generic kernel. They are both based on the PREEMPT_RT patchset, although the version may be different. The long-term goal is to have -lowlatency in the official Ubuntu repositories, while maintaining -realtime in a dedicated PPA.įrom a technical point of view, -rt and -realtime are the same kernel. Focus has instead turned to the -lowlatency and -realtime kernels, particularly for the the release of Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal. Community recommends that you use the default -generic kernel with Maverick. The -preempt and -rt kernels are no longer being developed due to lack of support. For your convenience, a I have included the download link to 64 bit OS installer.Īs of this writing, there are no alternative kernels (including -realtime and -lowlatency) available for Maverick Meerkat in either the official repositories or any Ubuntu Studio recommended repositories. Instead try to use Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS (Lucid Lynx) as it is the latest version of Ubuntu as of this writing, that provides support for real-time kernel. Please do not use the version Maverick Meerkat i.e. The remainder of this entry covers in detail installation of rt-linux package for Ubuntu so that it can be used for real-time application development efforts. The rt-linux package available for latest Ubuntu and Debian Linux distributions can bring real-time capabilities to Linux. Solaris 10 & above, Suse Linux Eneterprise Real-Time 10 (SLERT) & above and RedHat Enterprise Messaging/Real-Time/Grid (MRG) are POSIX real-time compliant. The extension addresses the needs of soft and hard real-time systems. To unify real-time application and operating system space, RT-POSIX 1003.1b was standard created. so that developers can remove non-deterministic behaviour and end-to-end latency. Often real-time operating systems allow programmers to control hard at the lowest level including processor interrupts, physical memory access, low-level I/O processing etc. To support predictable task execution for time-critical applications, real-time operating systems (OS) have real-time constraints like, OS and its scheduling activities must never contribute to unbounded task latency or be unpredictable in any sense. ![]() ![]() To disable all the features there that invade your privacy. ![]() Same with the Microsoft store before continuingĪnd disabled anything that would breach privacy and I mean all of it!
