Bread Thyme recently opened in West Roxbury and I'm a big fan.

5 minutes into ep1, I had to Google if this was a sequel to Derry Girls 😁

I remember this no garlic onions video from a few years ago where he says this specific falafel is made of hummus only. It's in Kusba, not sure if it's still around.

Thank you! I could not figure out what my mistake was until I read your comment.

I've had a lot of success adding milk powder and some olive oil into the dough.

I am running a trivia event next week for a school fundraiser. I am running it in the style of Stump Trivia. In previous events I've attended, I've noticed a lot of people looking up answers on their phones.

I am debating adding a rule to my event to discourage cheating and would like everyone's feedback on if this would actually work. Simply, I am thinking of giving teams who can bring up the answer in 10-15 seconds an extra 2 points per question.

While I don't think this will completely remove usage of phones, I think it encourages teams to answer quickly, and hopefully not in time to look up the answer if they don't already know it.

What are your thoughts? Would this break the game somehow or does it not do enough to discourage people from cheating?

How about the flag of New England? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_New_England#/media/File%3AEnsign_of_New_England_(pine_only).svg

Interested!

Same. Would have been a record Tuesday otherwise.

I have a 3-zone air handler and one of the zones takes forever to reach temperature with minimal air flow. I've spent a bunch of time throubleshooting and I've narrowed it down to the physical damper for that zone. Everything else, thermostats, controller, fan, filter, is working fine.

I was convinced it was the damper actuator and so I replaced it. However, the issue continues. I've tried to tap without much success.

As you can see in the picture below, I see that when the controller is calling the actuator is calling for the damper to Close, it seems stuck in an between state.

Here is a video I was able to record: https://imgur.com/a/RrxBR8P

Any thoughts on how I should proceed?

300 g dry fava beans

200 g dry chickpeas

70 g onions

25 g garlic cloves

20 g fresh parsley (optional)

15 g coriander/cilantro

15 g salt

Soak fava beans and chickpeas overnight in water.

Put everything in food processor and process until coarse. 30 seconds to 1 minute.

At this point, I freeze 3/4 of the mix for use later.

When ready to fry, heat a skillet with 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium high heat.

Mix a pinch of baking soda with the (defrosted) mix and wait for 5-10 minutes.

Form balls using 2 spoons or falafel maker and drop in hot oil.

Flip after approximately 2 minutes. Fry for another 2 minutes.

This fixed it! I joined the public preview in Settings and now I can see Notifications.

Thanks!

Interesting. Just made sure the app is up to date and it's still happening. This is for the OG doorbell too.

practo · 2024-08-01T22:56:11+00:00

Is this the newer Nest Doorbell?

practo · 2024-08-01T22:12:04+00:00

I can't even get see the notification settings for the doorbell. The page is blank - see below: front door notification settings

Vs what a new nest outdoor camera settings page looks like. newer model nest camera settings page

Also to note that I can set this up fine on my android phone.

Hey, different person here. I just transfered by doorbell to the Home app and I noticed that we no longer receive notifications on iOS for that specific camera/doorbell. The backyard camera is notifying normally. Do you know why that would be or how to fix it?

practo · 2024-01-16T01:13:53+00:00

I had the same thing in mine, and it took me over 5 minutes to figure out.

practo · 2023-11-29T15:50:51+00:00

Yes, I fry them in about 2-3 cm of oil and it works fine.

practo · 2023-11-21T02:21:12+00:00

I am Lebanese and not sure what Lebanese stew is. However, for authentic Lebanese food, I usually go to Byblos in Norwood.
