This recipe took a lot longer to make than I expected. I actually think that increasing the surface area ratio would improve flavor, too. The stacks as made were beautiful, but unwieldy. I'll make this again, but leave off the final tomato/eggplant layer of the stack. substituted mozzarella for feta and it was still great, served with a simple pasta makes an easy summer dinner.īeautiful presentation and lovely flavour. We used a grill pan over wood briquettes.mmmm. Tomatoes fresh, so I added thick sliced feta to theĮggplant during grilling, and then stacked with the Every year I make my own pesto to freeze, Made for her 2 years ago! I did make it easier for Mine looked darn good regardless!Ī friend fondly reminded me of this recipe which I I also used the whole eggplant and whole tomato and didn't worry if the stacks didn't look perfect. No stack had more than 2 slices of eggplant. Some of my stack had another layer of tomato and feta, some didn't. Don't worry if you don't follow the recipe to a T, it will still be good! For example, my stacks were eggplant, tomato, feta, eggplant. I brushed the eggplant with the basil olive oil, and then used the rest as directed. Overall, I will definitely make this again - probably in the summer when heirloom tomatoes can make this over the top.ĭelicious! I didn't bother separating the basil from the oil. The basil gave the dish a unique twist to the eggplant. (Not ideal but still good) I chose a creamy french feta that was perfect for the dish. I actually used grape tomatoes that I had sauteed until soft. Husband who dislikes eggplant likes this, and has eaten it many times, everyone else loves it.ĭelicious. No better use for native tomatoes and eggplant! I did not separate the basil from the oil, not necessary. I enjoy just how this recipe looks i eaten it before with my children most of us enjoyed this we can have a family group gathering again and cook this recipe again soon this really is one tasty recipe you have to test it i guarantee you whatever you should this its very tasty If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then, if necessary, reduce to heat specified in recipe. Hot: When you can hold your hand there for 1 to 2 seconds Step 9 When charcoal turns grayish white (about 15 minutes from lighting), hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack to determine heat for charcoal as follows: Step 8 If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Transfer stacks to 4 plates and drizzle plates with reserved basil oil. Set baking pan on grill and cook stacks, with grill cover closed, until heated through and cheese on top is softened, about 3 minutes. Make another layer with medium-size eggplant rounds, basil solids, medium tomato rounds, salt, pepper, and feta, then top with remaining eggplant and feta. ![]() Season tomatoes with salt and pepper and top each with about 1 tablespoon feta. On baking pan, arrange 4 largest eggplant rounds side by side and spread each with a generous 1/2 teaspoon of reserved basil solids, then top each with 1 of 4 largest tomato rounds. Grill on a lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over occasionally, lightly brushing eggplant with more basil oil occasionally if it looks dry, until eggplant is very tender, 6 to 10 minutes. Lightly brush eggplant rounds on both sides with basil oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. ![]() Cut 4 (1/3-inch-thick) rounds from large tomato and 2 center slices (1/3 inch thick) from each medium tomato, reserving remaining tomato for another use. Reserve remaining eggplant for another use. While grill heats, cut off bottoms of eggplants, then cut 6 (1/2-inch-thick) crosswise rounds from each, starting from cut end. Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas) see "Grilling Procedure," below. Scrape basil solids into a small bowl and reserve. ![]() (You will have a generous 1/3 cup oil.) Reserve 1 tablespoon basil oil separately for serving. Gather together sides of towel or filter and press gently on it to extract more oil. Pour into a paper-towel- or coffee-filter-lined sieve set over a bowl and let drain 20 minutes. Blend basil with oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt in blender until finely chopped. ![]() Place cages over newly planted saplings and replace them with chicken wire fences as the sapling grows. Oak Tree CareĮarly on, oak tree saplings are in danger of being consumed by wildlife. If you prefer to plant the acorns directly in the ground, take care to protect them from wildlife. If you only have one seedling in the pot, you can keep it indoors in a sunny window for up to three months. Transplant the seedlings to a permanent location when the first leaves unfurl. You can plant several acorns in each pot. Remove molded acorns and leave the bag open to allow fresh air in if you see signs of mold.įill pots that are at least 12 inches (31 cm.) deep with potting soil. Leave them for eight weeks, checking every two weeks or so to make sure they aren’t molding. You don’t want the sawdust or peat moss soaking wet, just lightly damp. Place the red oak acorns in a zipper bag with moist sawdust or peat moss. White oak acorns are ready for planting right after soaking, but red oak acorns need a special treatment called stratification. Damaged and immature seeds float to the top, and you can scoop them off and discard them. Soak the acorns in a container of water overnight. Go ahead and remove them during your visual inspection. The caps of mature acorns come off easily. Visually examine your acorns and throw away any that have small holes where an insect may have bored in, as well as those that are off colored or moldy. Check the leaves to determine whether you are collecting white oak or red oak acorns and label the containers if you collect some of each. You might think you are collecting a lot more than you need, but the germination rates for acorns is low, so you need lots of extras. Wait until the second flush begins to fall, and then collect several handfuls. How to Grow an Oak Treeĭon’t gather the first acorns that fall. Here are the steps for growing oak trees from acorns. All you need is an acorn and a gallon (4 L.) pot filled with soil. Propagating oak trees is good for the environment and it’s an easy, fun project for kids. Red oak leaves have pointed lobes with little bristles at the tips, while the lobes on white oak leaves are rounded. You can tell which group an oak belongs to by taking a close look at the leaves. Propagating Oak Treesįor convenience, the many species of oak are divided into two main groups: red oaks and white oaks. You can help the tree recover its former glory by starting and planting oak tree seedlings following the instructions in this article. The main cause of the decline is the value of acorns and young saplings as a food source for wildlife. These can be used to create clip-on name badges or hanging name tags with lanyards for wearing around the neck.Oak trees ( Quercus) are among the most common tree species found in forests, but their numbers are declining. There are also name tag holders that will work with these name tags if you want a more durable result. Cut OutĬut out name tags with a paper trimmer or scissors. Be sure to adjust the size of your writing to account for longer names so they will fit in the available space. Make sure you set the size (or scaling) to 100% in your printer settings so the name tags print at the correct size. Depending on the number of name tags you need, you may have to print several copies. Sticker paper may also work, but we haven't tested it. Print on heavy card stock for best results.

This study provides valuable insights into the impact of fiber orientation angle on elastic wave dispersion relations in CARALL composites and could inform future research on composite material design and optimization. However, the sensitivity of the other modes to the angle is negligible. The results indicate that the difference in fiber orientation angle significantly affects the shift in phase velocity between the primary symmetric mode and the horizontal shear mode. The stiffness matrix approach is used to determine the dispersion curves, and the “Dispersion Calculator” computer program is employed in the analysis. The overall configuration of the CARALL composite is s, where the angle parameter is varied between 0° and 90°. The material consists of 14 layers, where the layers are constructed from aluminum alloy and carbon/epoxy resin fibers. The CARALL composite is made up of multiple plies of carbon fiber and aluminum plies bonded together. ![]() Newton's method is an extremely powerful technique-in general the convergence is quadratic: as the method converges on the root, the difference between the root and the approximation is squared (the number of accurate digits roughly doubles) at each step.The purpose of this study is to present a parametric analysis of how the fiber orientation angle affects elastic wave dispersion relations in the case of the CARALL composite. ![]() This x-intercept will typically be a better approximation to the function's root than the original guess, and the method can be iterated. The idea of the method is as follows: one starts with an initial guess which is reasonably close to the true root, then the function is approximated by its tangent line (which can be computed using the tools of calculus), and one computes the x-intercept of this tangent line (which is easily done with elementary algebra).

![]() We really wish the movie could have integrated more of “The Nutcracker Suite” into the film. We never again see what might happen to the other realms or even how they contribute to the greater balance of this carefully crafted world by Marie Stahlbaum. Clara probably spends at most fifteen seconds of screen time in the Realm of Sweets, the Realm of Flowers, and the Realm of Snowflakes receiving gifts of sweets and flowers from each realm’s inhabitants. For instance, the lack of worldbuilding in the movie leaves much to be desired. Some are cute, such as the introduction of the different realms, but most things seemed in need of proper execution. There are glances at things like Wizard of Oz and Fantasia, but the more obvious ones are from where this movie takes its primary inspiration: The Nutcracker and the Mouse King and The Nutcracker ballet. Its ending makes you feel a little warm inside, but there are better feel-goods out there.Īnother thing to note are the allusions to pop culture. She then is somehow “The Chosen One” and is expected to lead a quest before returning home and realizing how much she appreciates her family. Even the exposition of the new world is typical: a girl is in awe of a new place but soon meets the evil villain before she’s rescued by a heroic prince and taken to a castle where she learns the backstory of this mysterious land. However, the plot is not very complicated and mostly predictable. You are awed by the beauty of the world at hand and the unique eccentricities that greet your eye upon first glance.

While both Hallström and Foy gush about Copeland’s grace, Knightley remembers a different side, encountering Copeland grappling with the long schedule. “To be close to that magical grace was a rewarding experience, as was also the reality painstaking work that comes with doing a performance that’s so lithe and effortless.” This combination of physical strength and endurance wowed Copeland’s costars, including Foy and Keira Knightley (who plays the Sugar Plum Fairy).
