Quick and easy, using the Anova's posted recipe by Emily Farris. I came across this one when trying to use the Anova cooking device gifted by Tracy.
This is so far the quickest way to whoop up a very tasty spaghetti meal.
Here's a copy of it:
Ingredients for 6
1 1/2 pounds jumbo shrimp (16-20 per pound), peeled and deveined
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound dried spaghetti
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons minced chives
Directions
Step 1 Set the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 135°F (57.2°C). I later just skipped this step, not using the Anova cooker, and use regular cooking instead in a pot.
Step 2 Combine the shrimp and butter in a large zipper lock or vacuum seal bag. Seal the bag using the water immersion technique or a vacuum sealer on the dry setting. Place the bag in the water bath and set the timer for 30 minutes.
Finishing Steps
Step 0 When the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath and set aside.
Step 1 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, about for 10 minutes. Reserve about 1/2 cup pasta cooking water and drain spaghetti. Return spaghetti to the pot.
Step 2 Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, shrimp and butter from the bag, and pasta cooking liquid. Set pot over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens.
Step 3 Remove from the heat and stir in the chives. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
Cleaning up my desk, came across a small poster about Delaware Water Gap hiking. We did Mt. Minsi last year, it's on Pennsylvania side. Mt. Tammany, the opposite mount across the Delaware River, is on NJ side and probably twice as hard/long as Minsi, from what I heard.
Every now and then we'll get this card in the mail addressed to "Resident", by Lupus foundation (888-445-8787). They provide free donation pick-up for clothing, shoes and household items at the indicated date on the card. But probably can arrange for any day by calling them. Well, it's free donation pick up, good enough.
For some reason we receive periodic medical journals called "Hackensack Meridian Health" addressed to "Our Friends at..." I guess I'll start reading it to learn something. So in this Winter 2022 edition, I read their innovation article on treating heart disease. Heart disease is caused by clogged arteries with fatty plaque and calcium deposit in the artery wall over time. Two types of conventional treatments are: Angioplasty (using balloon), Atherectomy (scraping the artery wall). The new innovation: Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) uses sonic pressure waves to break up the calcium, then using Angioplasty to push away the fatty plague now that there's no calcium blocking it. It's amazing how catheter can be inserted into the heart artery through patient's arm or leg. Finally a stent (metal tubing) is inserted in place of the catheter, to keep the vessel open. I'll keep this magazine as there's more to read in another time. In addition to the HMH journal, I also receive Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital journals, addressed to "Current Resident".
Optimum Online really tries to get our business, now offering 300 Mbps internet for $29.99. 1-866-213-2820, and even offering a $200 visa prepaid card. This is like the 5th time I received such offer already. When they had only 200 Mbps with the same price, I was already considering and tried to bargain for 300 Mbps, because our Verizon is now $39.99 for 300 Mbps since last year (was only 100/100 = 100 Mbps with the same price before that). But at the time Optimum wasn't willing to match Verizon's offer plus they have more negative reviews than Verizon, so I wasn't going to pay attention to it, even when they sent out an old guy salesman to do their bidding at our door last year. However, I'll keep an eye out on this, in case Verizon starts ripping us out. It was a bargaining game between Verizon & Optimum back when we were in Brooklyn and they were really flexible in customizing the pricing with us to compete for our business, but not so much so when we moved to Jersey.
Need to find replacement for slightly broken drawer in the fridge (Model Number: GSH25JSDBSS. Drawer: Fresh Produce Drawer (2nd from bottom in fridge area), manufacture number: WR32X10834. Found it via Partselect.
The Fundamentalists never learn: They are likely very "solo" scriptura, but then anything they use that's reformed, is stolen from the Reformed. I said stolen because it is not their own and they do not give credit to the source, other than to God or "solo" scriptura. Some of them realized this, including David Tong, and try to do better, but they're just stuck at textbooks level, they still fail to get out of the fundamentalism circle: which is being a copycat. To get out, they need to engage in the struggles of people around them, not just understanding. This criticism, is probably the only one I give for the only son of Pak Tong.
The Chinese Translation of Keith Mathison's article is also available. It's interesting how the Chinese translated Sola Scriptura vs. Solo Scriptura = 唯獨聖經 與 唯讀聖經, got to love Chinese.
O Latin Case/declension: Soli (dative="to something/someone" of solus) Deo (dative of Deus) Gloria Sola Scriptura (ablativefeminine="by/of/from/with/to" notnominative="to indicate subject" of solus) Solus Christus (nominative masculine)
By using ablative form of Sola Scriptura, we say the Bible ALONE is the highest authority, NOT the only authority. Therefore, we should also take creeds, traditions and history seriously instead of blatantly reject them.
So the key is Sola Scriptura being in ABLATIVE case and NOT nominative case, which spells the same but would indicate that the Bible stands alone apart from God/anything else, and thus confusing, hence, it is likely the reason they chose "solo scriptura". But that would make either an ablative masculine or neuter of Scriptura, which is feminine.
However, technically, it can be differentiated. Using macrons, a modern approach, though I believe still grounded in ancient Latin in pronunciation and thus: rather than solo scriptura, they should use sōla scrīptūra (nominative), contrasting sōlā scrīptūrā (ablative). Basically, pronouncing the last "a" vowel longer, to have the doctrinally correct version.
Joined men's fellowship (of Redeemer) today, 2nd time after my own hiatus. Last week, saw Matt, was very encouraged. This week, not grouped with Matt, but it was ok. A few interesting topics were brought up, not enough time. Scott was kind enough to proactively invite me to speak up, twice.
This (Why Abba Fther does NOT mean Daddy) was circulated among the group in email but not touched on. But after quickly reading through it, my response is this: Abba sounds like the same as baba in Chinese. This "daddy" is more of an American thing, I can't relate it much. When I use "dad", it's equal to baba, just in English. But I guess Americans, or at least the author of this article considers dad is less respectful than abba. That's fine, I get that, but I'm sure "dad" can be used in a respectable way. Semantics.
Drew, coincidentally to my surprise, noticed the contrast between Matthew 5:16 and Matthew 6:1. I merely emphasized Matthew 5:16d: ...they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven, as the key difference.
Another play of words by Alex. Though he has some good stuff from time to time, but these play of words only displays jumping to conclusion on motives of others. A risk which often times ends on error and why I don't need to spend more time looking into at its face value. I just need to be aware of it.
Though on Staten Island, this FragFarm store is the cheapest I've found near me that sells mainly reefs/corals, frags. The only problem is the $11-13 toll for crossing to Staten Island (free from NY to NJ). Depending on how many frags bought, because $15-$20 per frag is still worth it.

China against Chinese abroad - I thought to myself after watching this very briefly:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bv3HUzMz6U
that the 七步诗 at the end is rather motivating, though I care not much about the main content of it. I believe it can be a universally inspiring drama...to convert this song to English maybe challenging, perhaps best using Irish tunes.
First drone flight of Christmas lights in the Neigbhorhood:
Just for Laughs GAGS Asian version is filmed in Singapore. I suspected, and now was able to verify it when they brought up a map:
I don't know why I do this other than it had been bothering me culturally, because all signs point to Singapore or south East Asia, but not Taiwan, not Indonesia, not likely Australia. It's like that part I could relate to but yet something's off. Now I have verified it. Thought this was just a Canadian thing.
The Wachowski Brothers are now Wachowski Sisters, or just Wachowskis. After watching the 4th Matrix movie, Resurrections, I looked up Lana Wachowski thinking that she was sister in the family who continued her brothers work...but it turns out she was the same he that made the first Matrix movies. Both brothers became transwomen within 2008-2016. Gamers of Dungeons and Dragons, it's a wonder how they could come up with such revolutionary movies, perhaps someday I'll look into it. The Resurrections did have a feminism taste in it, female general, Trinity being The One, etc.
Perhaps I should try it, with the nearest beach near us being known to be contaminated with Vibriosis. I have a foldable kayak that has not been tried. Time to look up those freshwater fishing spots. But unlike saltwater fishing, freshwater fishing is not free. In this country you need license for everything. Marine fishing requires permit though it's free, but freshwater license is not free. And the annual fee is around $72.25 (includes bow hunting, etc.) or $22.50 (just fishing).
Although, I just learned that there are at least 2 days a year in NJ that allow freshwater fishing without permit/license. And it may include all the day of those weeks as well. The site also has a link to this map app that shows where and what to fish. I'm not crazy about this type of fishing and am being stingy about paying to fish, so I would just need to mark these dates every year to fish for free. Large Mouth Bass seems to be a common goal.
