Easy cherry crumb pie recipe2/29/2024 Cherry crumb pie is made with our easy homemade pie crust, fresh, pitted cherries (or frozen! We’ll get to that), a dash of almond extract to give it that kirsch flavor, and a buttery crumb topping. But everything changed when we made this perfect cherry pie. I mean…are you drooling? I’m drooling, and I am NOT a pie person. Juicy, slightly tart, perfectly sweet cherry pie topped with a seriously addicting crumb topping. and it’s called Cherry Crumb Pie…and guys, it is so good. Is there anything better than an all American fresh cherry pie recipe? Why yes, yes there is. Top this cherry crumb pie with a scoop of ice cream and you’ll be in heaven. The perfect summer Cherry Pie made with fresh or frozen cherries and topped with a buttery crumble. It’s incredibly delicious topped with a scoop of ice cream.This website uses affiliate links which may earn commission for purchases made at no additional cost to you. It has pie crust, plus juicy filling, plus a sweet buttery topping. This cherry pie with crumble topping is the best of the pie, crisp and crumble worlds. Oats, butter, flour, and brown sugar make an easy cherry pie topping that you won’t be able to resist. While you could make a lattice top for this pie, we are going for easy and delicious with this recipe. Once your cherries are pitted and halved, you’ll mix them with some sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, salt, and almond (or vanilla) extract. You can also cut the cherries in half and remove the pits by hand. The hardest part is pitting the cherries! I use a cherry pitter to make the job quick and easy. It rolls out quickly and easily so you can have a homemade pie crust in almost no time at all. You won’t need to chill the pie dough before rolling it out. If you’re making pastry by hand, a pastry blender comes in really handy for cutting in the butter, but you can also use two forks. If you don’t have one, you can mix the pie dough up by hand. The easiest way to make pie dough is to use a food processor. For this pie, we only need one crust, since we’re making a streusel topping for the top of the pie. You won’t believe how quick and easy it is to make a homemade pie crust using my recipe. The best pies start with a homemade crust. If you prefer a cherry pie with a double crust, you’ll love my classic cherry pie recipe. It’s one of our favorite summer dessert recipes. If you’ve found yourself with a plentiful amount of cherries, I hope you’ll give this cherry crumb pie recipe a try. I haven’t tested this recipe with frozen cherries, but if you want to try it be sure to let the cherries thaw completely and then drain off any excess liquid before adding them to the filling. You can also use sour cherries in this recipe, but you will want to increase the amount of sugar in the filling. I usually make this pie with fresh sweet cherries. It’s actually really easy and takes just a few minutes. If you’ve never made a pie crust from scratch, don’t be intimidated. You can make this pie with my easy homemade pie crust or you can use a store bought crust. This pie has a classic pie crust on the bottom and a delicious crumb topping on top. The real problem is deciding what to bake next! We also love peach pie bars, apple crisp, strawberry oatmeal bars and cherry cobbler. In summer, I love to bake fresh fruit pies like this cherry crumble pie. Once spring nears its end, summer fruits are a much anticipated treat: fresh berries, cherries, peaches, plums and more. Around the holidays, pumpkin pie and apple pie are family favorites. It’s one of the best ways to enjoy fresh cherries!īaking pies is one of my favorite ways to celebrate the seasons. This Cherry Crumble Pie has a sweet cherry filling and a buttery crumble topping.

Jumping in to dota 2 7.21d2/29/2024 Does high damage on a very low cooldown. Use Q on an enemy creep to buff up your attack speed when pushing towers as well. You can also use it to move between camps and lanes quicker. When the laning phase is coming to a close you can comfortably use this spell on neutrals and creep waves to increase your farming speed. Also use it when you can to harass the enemy, with a blight stone you can do considerable damage. When you cast this spell you can generally attack 2-3 times for their 1 attack. Use it to take their attack speed so they can't last hit - prioritise using it when they go for their ranged creep. Use this spell during the laning phase to ensure you get last hits and denies against the enemy mid. Decreases attack and movement speed of the enemy target. Increases attack and movement speed of you and your familiars. He will become very durable, and will provide your allies with some powerful auras, utility and lock downs. He does, however, scale well in terms of utility. Visage doesn't scale well in terms of damage, not in the same way a Shadow Fiend or Templar Assassin does. Based on my stats however, I'd say the hero does have peak potential before the 45min mark. There may be some truth to this statement but let me assure you I've had success on this hero at all stages in the game. Visage is infamous for not scaling well into the late game, and it makes people feel like there's a bit of a timer when playing this hero. The hero benefits very strongly from Auras, as they strengthen his Summmons and synergise well with his Gravekeepers Cloak and playstyle. His two core items Medallion of Courage and Helm of the Dominator makes him incredibly good at sieging towers and taking Roshan. Visage is a very powerful Objective taker. This makes him quite versatile in how he wants to build, his talents and item choices can also influence how these damage ratios are split. Visages overall game damage is usually a 50/50 split between his Summons (Physical Damage) and his Nuking Spell (Magic Damage). Visage is a one of those unique heroes in that a lot of his damage not done directly by his hero, but his Summons (Birds). My win rate is sitting close to 58% for the hero now - with most of my games in solo ranked (Ancient 7). I never intended on developing a guide, but the data I collected in my tracking tool ended up feeding quite nicely into a Guide. I used this data to generate graphs to see how I performed and improved, and to see if I could detect any patterns which I could utilise to increase my chances of winning. I maintained these notes in a Spreadsheet, where I also tracked all my metrics such as GPMs, KDAs, CS, Damage, Match Duration, etc. The approach involved taking notes after each game, and thinking critically on what I should have done differently to get a win. At the time of writing this I've played around 110 Visage games and have taken a very proactive approach to understanding and improving on this hero. My obsession with Visage is only recent, I played him once in the first 7 years of my Dota life, but now within the last 2 months he's become one of my most played heroes. I will be using Acronyms and making assumptions that the reader has some previous knowledge of Spells, Items and Basic Gameplay Concepts. I would say that players between the Archon and Divine ranks will benefit. I'm going to preface this guide by saying that this is not a beginner guide. Go for quality of summons, over quantity. Focus on strengthening and enabling your Minions as much as you can with Auras, Heals and Lockdown. Visage has 7 Minions - 2 Birds, 1 Neutral Creep and 4 Ally Heroes.

52 husky tool box2/29/2024 While there are a ton of great features like locks galore for various compartments for securing your stuff, wheel locks, a HAL 9000 ( just kidding, not yet) and soft drawer slides that will hold up to a 120 lb. They now occupy the ground floor of The Dark Tower. Since most of my hand held power tools are within easy reach on my metal pegboards, I never seem to have a good dedicated spot to put my corded routers, sanders or circular saws. If you have one of those large plastic circular saw cases sitting around, it fits perfectly in them with the handle down. At the lowest level of the cabinet are deep pocket drawers that are around a foot and a half deep. The unit is broken down into a cabinet ( bottom) and chest ( top). But how? It’s 52” wide, almost 65” tall and 20” deep, how is that going to free up space? 15 drawers of organizational bliss my friends. This massive 52” Husky Tool Chest was going to change all of that and free up some much needed real estate. Here’s your insider exclusive that hardly anyone has ever seen:Įmbarrassing… but I own it as my own piece of abstract art. The dead zone is an old workbench I built years ago and a half baker’s rack that are just piled up with “stuff”. With floor space and work surfaces at a minimum, smaller items in my shop typically got relegated to “the pile” that is a black hole of all things I can never find when I need them. I mean… not as small as Sam’s shop from DIY Huntress ( but then she’s like 2 feet shorter than I am and needs a lot less space) but let’s just say I’m often playing Tetris with shop components to maximize my workspace that’s only 160 square feet when it’s empty. I pictured a yellow Vette when they told us that.īack to the problem and the massive solution at hand, I don’t know how many times I’ve mentioned how small my workshop is. Did I mention the tool chests and workbenches had a crumple weight strong enough to hold up a Corvette? Yep. I immediately thought of the opening scene of the movie Cliffhanger and if only Husky had made that girl’s backpack… The mad scientists down there went to great lengths to show us how much quality testing goes on behind the scenes so if your ratchet tie-down straps say they can hold a load up to 600 pounds, they actually will probably hold twice that. That is until you realize the bag is being suspended from the ceiling with several hundred pounds of weight hanging from the handle so you know that no matter how much weight you put in that sucker… those handles are never failing. Made of water resistant material with 14 pockets and a heavy duty zipper, you don’t suspect anything more substantial than that from a tool bag. One of the first things we saw upon walking into their very own Chamber of Secrets ( minus the Basilisk) was a 15” Husky Tool Bag suspended from the ceiling. We visited their underground bunker that they use for torturing products from in house brands like Husky to absolutely test them to their limits to ensure quality. Whenever I go to the store I look at these Husky tool box behemoths and think… someday… someday I too can organize my little shop and store secrets of the world in the many drawers like an ancient apothecary with their cabinets of curiosities.īefore we delve into multiple drawers of awesomeness, let me take you back to April when I visited Home Depot HQ in Atlanta to kick off the Pro-Spective review. What I found sitting unloaded in my yard was the Husky Tools 52” Rolling Tool Chest. What I came home to was as black as coal and had a matte finish like a pile of ashes, but Lazy Guy was not on the naughty list this year ( well… at least not yet, it’s summertime still) and this wasn’t fitting into a stocking. So when my wife called me to say there was a 400 pound delivery arriving at our house in the next few minutes from The Home Depot and I hadn’t recently been insomnia ordering off the web, I immediately made up an excuse and rushed home from work giddy enough to make me feel like it was an early morning on the 25th of December. Okay, so maybe tax refund day or the birth of your first child is just as exciting (what’s it going to be a boy, a girl or a puppy?). There are few things in your adult life that bring on the same excitement as waking up Christmas morning as a kid and being absolutely surprised about what “Santa” brought you this holiday season.

Parallels review m12/29/2024 Parallels, also known as Parallels Desktop for Mac, is software that was developed by Parallels Inc. We’ll also compare the two and tell you what to consider before making your choice. This article will review Virtualbox vs Parallels in terms of performance, speed, and other aspects to help you find out which software will meet your needs. There’s no reason that you can’t experience the best of both Mac and Windows on the same computer.Īs you’ll get to know from this Parallels vs Virtualbox 2023 review, both these software work in similar ways however, they are also unique and have slightly different features that you’ll need to consider before making your choice. Parallels and Virtualbox are two examples of similar software that will allow you to continue using your favorite apps on your Mac. If you’ve recently found yourself in this situation, don’t panic, there’s software available that will allow you to run Windows on a Mac. That is until they realize that some of their favorite apps can only be run in Windows. The Business Edition for enterprise users now provides SSO/SAML authentication to sign in using a corporate account, and improved features for deploying VMs to multiple users across the organisation.Apple has a large following, and many people who have upgraded to a Mac think that they have it all. You can isolate VMs for improved security by preventing them from sharing applications or folders with the host Mac, and there's a new command-line interface for developers who need to automate testing on their virtual machines. Other new features include support for the forthcoming MacOS Ventura - both as host OS and 'guest' virtual machine - as well as support for Apple's 120Hz ProMotion displays, and improved USB support for Windows-based audio and video capture and streaming devices.įor developers, the Pro Edition of Parallels Desktop 18 provides improved networking controls - known as the 'network conditioner' - that were previously only available for Intel-based Macs. Above: USB support is improved in version 18. Top: Parallels Desktop provides a virtual TPM chip (required by Windows 11). And, as always, Parallels Desktop also allows you to create virtual machines running Arm versions of Linux, such as Ubuntu, Fedora and Debian, as well as maintaining its longstanding compatibility with older Mac systems - such as my aging office iMac - that still run on Intel processors. Parallels claims that this provides up to 96% performance increase over the previous version of Parallels Desktop. However, Parallels has now had two years to fine-tune the performance of virtual machines running on Apple Silicon and, with high-end processors such as the M1 Ultra, Parallels Desktop 18 now allows you to assign up to 62GB of RAM and 18 CPU cores to your virtual machines. Of course, compatibility alone isn't enough if your key Intel apps run too slowly to be of any practical use. The company also offers "kudos to Microsoft" for achieving compatibility for what it says is '99.99%' of existing Intel software when running on Windows on Arm. Several Arm versions of Linux are also available. You can download and install Windows 11 directly from within Parallels Desktop 18.

Crossbow shooting block2/29/2024 It equals easy arrow removal as well as target longevity. This essentially means that the layers of foam are fused to the inner target wall, resulting in better uniform layer compression. The foam target sports an Open Layered PolyFusion Technology. Between its lifelike hair, size, and antlers, you’ll get the most realistic practice short of bowhunting itself. The GlenDel Full Rut Buck 3D Target ($279) is the perfect target to help you get ready for deer season. Shooting your bow at 3D targets is more fun, especially if you’re a bow hunter. Shooting your bow at regular archery targets is fun. One would hope not to replace that sooner than later though.įor the casual archer/bowhunter looking for a versatile target that can take them from casual shooting in the backyard to making sure they are dialed in deer camp, the HP Trio Target System from 365 Archery is a sure thing. The good news is the core is replaceable. And it will, unfortunately, leave a yellow mess on the ground wherever you are shooting. We really like this target, but the one thing we’ve noticed is how easily the foam pulls and crumbles after a great amount of use, especially when adding broadheads to the mix. 365 Archery offers the HP Trio Target System in four different sizes: 18, 24, 36, and 48 inches. The cradle offers much more room for error when shooting. When the system is all together, though, the core is held in place via a target cradle. We’ve actually just brought the core itself on hunting trips to save room. It has a 10-inch replaceable core with six different sides to shoot. This is a self-healing foam target made to withstand not only field tips and broadheads from a bow but also from a crossbow. How versatile can an archery target get, right? Yeah, that’s what we thought too, until spending some time with the 365 Archery High-Performance Trio Target System ($150-370). The RhinoBlock lives up to the prestigious name of the company. Rinehart has been supplying bow junkies with quality targets since 1999. If you’re a serious bowhunter looking to practice most days of the week, this target has your name written all over it. We’ve had to actually stand on top of the target, using both of our legs and arms to pull arrows. However, it can also be very difficult to pull arrows out of. The solid self-healing foam is incredibly durable. Perhaps the biggest downside of the RhinoBlock archery target is actually one of the pros. Two are incredibly detailed 3D-style, and the other four offer Rinehart’s highly visible target zones. Along with that, it has six sides for shooting. Their trademarked solid self-healing foam eats both field-tip and broadhead-tipped arrows like a champ and does it in stride.
