Check out the recipe below, and make it with the family (or keep it for yourself!). It’s one of the 100+ DIY-ified recipes the ATK Kids team dreamed up for The Complete DIY Cookbook for Young Chefs. For a 9x13-inch pan, I make 1 & 1/2 times the recipe. BAKE: Bake at 375 for 35-45 minutes until cheese is melted and top is lightly browned. For 'firmer' macaroni and cheese, cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4-6 hours before baking. Then, just add cooked pasta, butter, and a bit of water to make a single serving-or, up the ingredients to serve more than one.Īdults will delight in the ease and nostalgia of this recipe, while kids will love recreating a favorite store-bought food at home. For creamy macaroni and cheese, bake immediately. Add flour, salt, and pepper and stir until smooth, about 5 minutes. At the same time, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Making the whole dish in just 20 minutes was a bonus. We set out to make a smooth, creamy, cheesy sauce without the bother of a bchamel or custard. Add the butter, milk, and cheeses to the pot and stir. Appears in Cook's Illustrated January/February 1997, America's Test Kitchen TV. Before we get to the full mac and cheese recipe below, here are a few important notes about the ingredients you will need. Remove the lid, directing the steam away from you. All you have to do is combine cheddar cheese powder (available in some grocery stores or online ) nonfat dry milk powder, which adds dairy flavor and creaminess and a bit of tangy dry mustard. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place the macaroni, chicken broth, or stock (we like either or for this recipe), heavy cream, salt, and pepper into the pressure cooker. or can I?īy making your own mac and cheese mix, you get all the convenience of boxed mix-plus, a seemingly never-ending supply of macaroni and cheese (our recipe makes 12 batches!). ![]() When I want to make mac and cheese for a crowd, it’s much more involved: grating block after block of cheese, making a béchamel, and getting the seasonings juuuust right. When I want quick and easy mac and cheese for myself, I reach for the boxed stuff. ![]() Here’s another one from BBC News: “Rats taught to drive tiny cars to lower their stress levels.” The story behind this was a study in which “researchers” had some rats, so they decided to make little plastic cars for them and teach the rats to drive the tiny cars. Who remembers that game where you add “in my pants” to everything and see how it turns out? “The Universe Is Made of Tiny Bubbles Containing Mini-Universes, in my pants.” Not bad. ![]() Last month, I bookmarked “The Universe Is Made of Tiny Bubbles Containing Mini-Universes, Scientists Say.” What an uplifting title. I wanted to carry that further, to ask things like, “What would be something better to believe in than hell?” or “I believe in quinoa and kale tacos, so I guess I don’t need to believe in hell.” But I couldn’t read the whole article because I don’t subscribe to the Journal, so I dropped it. Last year, The Wall Street Journal asked the headline question, “Do We Still Need to Believe in Hell?” prompted by some discussion in theological circles of remarks from Pope Francis. I used it in a column, along with “You’ll Never Believe All The Things Made Out Of Chicken Feathers.” I’m pretty sure I did, in fact, use “Semi filled with 40,000 pounds of chicken feathers overturns on I-5,” pretty much for the same sort of reason: There but for the grace of 20 tons of chicken feathers and keys to a semitruck go I, but I didn’t. Who doesn’t want to know someone in the world adopted a black bear thinking it was a Tibetan mastiff puppy? Doesn’t it make you feel good to know that? I feel better about myself and my own life decisions knowing I’m not those people and I’m not currently attempting to keep a full-grown black bear entertained with a game of fetch. I can’t forever deep-six a story with the headline, “After 2 years, family realizes the pet dog they raised is a bear.” I mean, there’s a major reason I bookmarked that in the first place. It would be a crying shame to throw them all out. At least a couple thousand of those link to unused news stories in just the past year. I have something like 10,000 bookmarks in my bookmarks folder. The process of preparing these columns consists of spending way too much time on the internet looking at news stories and bookmarking them, in the off chance I might use them when I actually sit down to write. ![]()

Used Cooking Oil Collection By SeQuential We’re now one of the only domestic producers of biodiesel that handles the process from beginning to end: collecting used cooking oil, refining it into biodiesel, and refueling vehicles, fleets, fuel stations, and our local communities. Strong partnerships with Pacific Biodiesel, Tyree Oil and Star Oilco, and customers such as Kettle Foods and Burgerville helped us become what we are today-an innovative, conscientious maker of local, responsible bioproducts that are helping build a better energy model for the future. And we’re replicating our model across the west-into Washington, California, Idaho, Montana, and Nevada. After thousands of miles on the road and hundreds of relationships forged, we’ve opened a pair of gleaming fueling stations and a clean, low-emissions refinery that’s created more than 25 million gallons of biodiesel. Early on, we sold homemade biodiesel by the barrel from a pickup truck. The pair shared a passion for the environment, and quickly struck up a friendship over a love for the outdoors and strong belief that there had to be a better way to create energy without harming the planet. Mazzi’s Italian eatery to be exact-the Eugene, Oregon pizza shop where Ian Hill and Tyson Keever first met in 2001. In many ways, our company was born in the same place our products begin: the back of a restaurant. So I have more time these days to spend with my partner Linda and the great outdoors.We began selling SeQuential biodiesel by the five-gallon jug out of the back of a pick-up truck. In addition, I am a new empty-nester, having just launched two boys into college. You’ll see that my personal email is “daveoutside.” I am an active cyclist (bike commuter), runner, hiker and skier. When you are not teaching, what do you spend your time doing? We built a better company with an environmental mission, and the result was millions of gallons of biodiesel that burned 85% less carbon than diesel. I like to think that I was a change agent with the passion and energy I poured into SeQuential. We discuss this in the classroom, and I hope our work can help students be change agents in the business world. I am a big believer in the triple-bottom-line, and it makes long-term economic sense. We can redefine business to be about more than just profit. For you, what does it mean to redefine business and transform lives? In the summer, I lead the international experience to South America.

Troubleshooting storage infrastructure problems is an activity that has historically required input from many groups within the organization, networking, application owners, database admins, virtualization, etc. By combining data captured from the arrays across its installed base InfoSight is applying data sciences technology and big data analytics to create best practices principles that can benefit all Nimble array owners. In addition to this kind of problem resolution, Nimble is using InfoSight to deliver its “proactive wellness” philosophy. This includes the network elements and even the virtualization layer, as InfoSight pulls data from ESX hosts to further enhance understanding of storage issues that originate outside of the storage array. ![]() Systems like Nimble’s InfoSight can provide this intelligence by running complex analytics on millions of data points each day captured through the storage array to create a comprehensive picture of the entire storage environment. Instead, they need to add intelligence to the system to get a more comprehensive view. A 75-million-year-old Gorgosaurus fossil is the first tyrannosaur skeleton ever found with a filled stomach.

'96 #17 (March 1996), and he had a solo story in Showcase '96 #10 (November 1996), after which another hiatus followed. That series was cancelled with R.E.B.E.L.S. Captain Comet was actually a late replacement for fellow 1950s space traveler Adam Strange who was due to become a regular character, as otherwise it would have clashed with the Adam Strange limited series published around the same time. He then became a supporting character in the L.E.G.I.O.N. He also appeared in the non-canonical series DC Challenge (1986). Two were team-ups with Superman- DC Comics Presents #22 (June 1980) and 91 (March 1986) the fourth was a retelling of his origin by Roy Thomas in Secret Origins vol. Four of these were cameo appearances- Crisis on Infinite Earths #5 (August 1985), #10 (January 1986) and #12 (March 1986), and All-Star Squadron #53 (January 1986). Īfter the cancellation of Secret Society of Super Villains, Captain Comet entered another hiatus, his appearances limited to guest spots in other DC titles during the 1980s. Captain Comet was a popular character at the time-he came second in a poll for potential Justice League membership, and writer Bob Rozakis presented DC Comics with a proposal for Captain Comet's first self-titled series. Secret Society of Super Villains was cancelled as part of the DC Implosion. ![]() During this run, he also appeared in Super-Team Family Giant #13 (September 1977), a story directly linked to the Secret Society of Super Villains series, and as lead character for the first time since 1954 in an extended story, "Danger: Dinosaurs at Large!" in DC Special #27, April/May 1977, by Bob Rozakis and artist Rich Buckler. He appeared in most issues of that title, together with the associated Secret Society of Super Villains Special #1 (October 1977), until it was cancelled with issue #15 (June/July 1978). He next appeared in 1976, when writer Gerry Conway and co-writer David Anthony Kraft reintroduced him as a supporting character in Secret Society of Super Villains, starting with "No Man Shall Call Me Master" ( Secret Society of Super Villains #2 (July/August 1976)). Stories ranged in length from six to 10 pages, dropping from 10 pages in 1951 to eight pages in 1952 and finally six pages from May 1953. From the beginning, Captain Comet appeared on most of the covers, mainly drawn by Murphy Anderson or Gil Kane. John Broome wrote every issue.Ĭaptain Comet appeared in 38 issues of Strange Adventures (missing only issues #45, 47, and 48) and ending in Strange Adventures #49 (October 1954). From issue #12 (September 1951) Murphy Anderson took over as artist, and he drew all Captain Comet's further appearances in Strange Adventures until #46 (July 1954) Sy Barry and Gil Kane drew the last two stories. ![]() His first appearance was actually a two-part story, continued in "The Air Bandits from Space" in Strange Adventures #10 (July 1951). The character was based on the pulp fiction character Captain Future. He was created by Strange Adventures editor Julius Schwartz, John Broome, and artist Carmine Infantino, and the story was written by John Broome (under the alias Edgar Ray Merritt), drawn by Carmine Infantino, and inked by Bernard Sachs. The character of Captain Comet first appeared in a 10-page tale, "The Origin of Captain Comet", in the flagship science-fiction title Strange Adventures #9 (June 1951) published by National Comics (now known as DC Comics). His early stories fall into a no-man's land, sometimes referred to as "The Atomic Age" because of the recurrent science-fiction themes of most comics of the period, when very few superheroes comics were published and fewer than 12 short-lived superhero characters were introduced.Īlong with Marvel Comics' Namor the Sub-Mariner and Toro (sidekick of the original Human Torch), he is among the first mutant metahuman superheroes (meaning he was born with his powers).Īdam Blake appeared in live-action The CW's TV series Naomi, portrayed by Chase Anderson. ![]() Once a minor character in the DC Comics canon, he occupies a unique position in DC Comics history as being created between the Golden Age and Silver Age.
