I learnt to make frittata by whisking three eggs with salt, pepper and parmesan and adding it to a frying pan of spinach that I had sauteed in olive oil.I made so many of them I was still rolling tortellini in my dreams that night. I minced mortadella, prosciutto and pork loin for the filling, and rolled wafer-thin sheets of pasta, folding the filling into squares to make perfect little pockets. I began with the broth itself –using the flesh and bones of chicken and pork and beef, as well as whole pieces of celery and carrot and onion –cooked slowly and then strained into a container and refrigerated overnight.

Brief Summary of Book: A Loyal Heart (An Uncertain Choice, #4) by Jody Hedlund ![]() ![]() ![]() I’m definitely looking forward to reading Richelle’s upcoming book, Soundless, which is now scheduled to be published November 10, 2015. Luckily that hasn’t stopped Richelle from writing completely. Life happens, though, and even for an author, other obstacles get in the way. So, there’s a possibility for more stories in the Vampire Academy/Bloodlines world?! Yes, there is, and that would be great if it happens, especially for that one person that pointed out the length of The Ruby Circle to Mead. We talk about the final book in the latter series, and her upcoming standalone due later this year, Soundless. ![]() While there, I got to do an exclusive interview with Richelle Mead, the lovely and wonderful author of the Vampire Academy series and the sequel Bloodlinesseries. ![]() I got a chance to go to the first annual YallWest event, which was held in the Santa Monica area of Los Angeles, California.

How to get Spotify DJĬurrently only available to Premium users in the U.S. So again, this may be more of a request for the future than something Spotify dropped the ball on, but I still hate when my connection drops and I can’t use DJ anymore. ![]() Even ChatGPT only works when you’re connected to it through an online web browser, even though the chatbot doesn’t find its answers from the internet. While the technology to make AI chatbots and AI in general work offline, many do require a connection to the internet or a server to work. To be fair, this is a tall order from a technical standpoint. Given that Spotify DJ often picks music I already listen to, I wish that it was able to work in offline mode. And unfortunately, that problem is often exacerbated when using AI DJ. I’ve even thought about trying to reset my Spotify algorithm by unliking everything and starting fresh because I feel Spotify only recommends things I’ll like. Honestly, this is probably my biggest complaint with Spotify in general. Which can be great in certain situations, but doesn’t do a lot for those looking to discover new songs and bands to listen to. This has been getting better, as I’ll go into later in this article, but a lot of the time Spotify’s AI DJ is just picking songs that I already like. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() An apparent thaw of his writer's curiosity–a frozen sea these many years–leads him to Kars, a far-off town near the Russian border and the epicenter of the suicides.
