The ability to break text into scenes, partial scenes, that follow a loose/tight outline doesn’t work for me I know writers who love the program because it allows them to move whole scenes from one part of their novel to another with just a drag-and-drop.

I find his creation incredibly impressive because of this. He was not, before Scrivener, a programmer. It started life because Keith Blount was trying to write a novel, and he found none of the programs he tried up to the task of handling his process. The first application I use - and the one I would not be without if you paid me - is Scrivener. On the other hand, if anyone has suggestions for PC equivalents of the Mac only apps I list here, that would be great! This is my way of saying that if the comments descend into platform wars, I will moderate with the world’s heaviest hand, possibly because I have read it so many times and there is nothing new. I fully believe that a writer is more than the sum of his or her tools, and that each of us should work on whatever platform we find most comfortable. This is not a religious stance I have a PC (an Asus), on which I play games. I use a Macbook Pro as my main writing machine. Because I have page proofs and I cannot stand to look for any more errors at this time of night, I thought I would take a few minutes to talk about the tools of my trade.

![]() There’s just one door on the tent on the left side, and we did note a distinct lack of bug mesh, which meant that in use, we had to keep the door closed most of the time, and were thankful we had our Insect-o-cutor bug zapper with us.Ĭlipped in groundsheet, one of the lantern hanging points and finally the gaps across the bottom of the doorĪt the front of the tent there is a good ventilation panel and again, at the rear of the tent, if you guy it out, it opens up some additional bedroom ventilation. The bedroom compartment is already clipped in, as is the clip in groundsheet that covers the front section of the tent, however this can easily be removed, if for some reason you didn’t want to use it. The first time of pitching was a little confusing, largely down to the fact the Skye Air II doesn’t have fully sewn-in groundsheets, so finding the base shape of the tent left me momentarily bamboozled, but thankfully, as soon as you pump up the beams (which takes about 30 seconds per beam) the tent pretty much pops into shape making it obvious and far easier to continue pegging down. If you’re guying it out fully and you’re doing it alone, you’ll still be fully pitched in under 10 minutes. Weather conditions were good for my first pitch, so I didn’t use every guy rope, and it took me about 5 minutes to pitch solo. The Skye Air II goes up just like any other AirBeam tent, I tend to roll the tent out, roughly peg it out at the corners, inflate the AirBeams, then finish the process of pegging out and guying. ![]() ![]() Sleeping compartment shown with my big folding camp bed inside on a solo trip Pitching the tent ![]() It adds life to your imagination and helps you build fantasy 3D miniatures.

I anticipated needing to add spice of some kind, but was captivated by the simple earthy taste of this soup that highlighted the goodness of each of the root vegetables. To create this soup, I simply sauteed the chopped leeks, carrots, and parsnips in coconut oil first, then added the savoy cabbage and vegetable broth. I become as excited about taking photos of vegetables as others do of flowers. I think the green savoy cabbage is quite beautiful, with it's dimply green leaves. It was hard to know which photos to include on this post. When Tom pulled carrots from the garden, he discovered some pairs of white and orange carrots hugging around one another. I used white, rather than orange, carrots so it wouldn't turn the soup brown when mixed with the green cabbage. This soup is my own creation based on what I needed to use from the garden supply, which was an abundance of savoy cabbage, leeks, parsnips and a variety of carrots. He also appreciated the Super Soft Turkey Meatloaf, which I made with almond milk this time. He particularly liked the sweet potato and kale soup, which is the same as the Sweet Potato and Swiss Chard soup except that it uses kale rather than Swiss Chard. Ah.he discovered the joy of my pureed soups in the freezer. For a few days after Tom's surgery, he was not able to eat solid foods without pain. But all seems to be getting back to normal.

Heap on top of that the benefit of cooked tomatoes with all of its lipocene, and the green pepper from our garden that I had frozen in small bags. The English word cabbage comes from the French caboche, meaning head.Īnd don't forget the benefits of onions (besides the benefit of using another onion being kept cool in an unused bedroom-turned root cellar). In fact, the Latin word brassica comes from the Celtic word bresic, meaning cabbage. According to cabbage, one of the oldest of the brassica vegetables, and the ancestor of broccoli and cauliflower, has been used in cooking in Europe for more than 4,000 years, giving it an epic history. You know, that awesome family of plants that are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidents making them the powerhouses of the vegetable kingdom. But this is new! And remember, cabbage is part of the brassica family. This is a soup I had made in mid-November, but never took the time to post. So hopefully you found some recipes here or elsewhere that worked well for you. I had meant to write a post about the dishes I had made other years for that grand celebration, but I simply didn't get to it. I hope yours was an abundance of all that you need most in your life. Serve Cauliflower-Parsnip Puree as a healthy addition to Thanksgiving dinner, for a dinner party alongside grilled chicken or roasted vegetables, or mix it with grains to add flavor to your favorite power bowl for lunch.Thanksgiving has come and gone. It makes an excellent addition to soups and stews, considering that it absorbed all that tasty flavor from the spicy parsnips. ![]() ![]() Otherwise, you’ll end up with soup instead of a mashed-potato-like consistency! But make sure to hang onto the broth for another time. You won’t need all the chicken broth for the blending step. That makes sure that any water-soluble vitamins and minerals that seeped into the cooking liquid would make their way into your belly. Then, to make sure we preserved all the nutrients, we pureed the cauliflower and parsnips with the chicken broth. Once the cauliflower and parsnips are tender with a fork, you can eat them straight away without the need for any butter or cream! It really wasn’t that hard! By simmering the vegetables in chicken broth, we were able to infuse an insane amount of flavor into the puree. You might be wondering how we made this dairy-free Cauliflower-Parsnip Puree taste as good as classic mashed potatoes. ![]() All of that saves calories, allowing you to enjoy a creamy, rich puree without feeling guilty about it. While developing this recipe, we also found that you don’t need dairy at all to make this puree rich and flavorful. How did we do it? Well, for starters, both cauliflower and parsnips have fewer carbohydrates than potatoes. Each serving has only 107 calories (as compared to the 206 calories found in our healthy version of Garlic and Thyme Mashed Potatoes). Who needs calorie-dense mashed potatoes when you have Cauliflower-Parsnip Puree? Seriously, you don’t!

That said, the Magic Mouse still features the same old Lightning port on the back of the product, making it impossible to be used while charging. And while the Magic Mouse is quite small and compact, that can be a demerit for some.

Slowly adding more pressure to my finger to the point it registered a click then keeping that constant and moving my finger did not move the mouse. I initially thought it was just click-and-drag which was working but this wasn't quite the case. You can get devices which physically attach the Trackpad and Wireless Keyboard together to make them a single piece about the size of the standard. The Trackpad is really nice with the enhancements in Lion. Aha I think I've found the solution to this as I was having the exact same issue.

On most cams: Zoom, Pan and Tilt, Image Sharpness and (possibly) Autofocus can be controlled in one pane. Note though, it's very dependent on the model as to which features and adjustments (if any) are supported. Judging by my testing and comments in the review section, Logi's webcam apps apparantly tend to work with a wider range of Logitech HD web cameras besides the short-list of officially supported models. You have to slog through Logitech's Support web pages, identify your product, select your particular supported OS version, and look for available downloads on a model-by-model basis.
