Bananas Flambe. Makes 2 servings, it's best to make in small batches as it's way easier to control a smaller pan. (and more spectacular when you light it on fire several times if you have lots of people to serve!) Frankly, the measurements don't really matter, so long as they're roughly right -- I didn't measure anything - and it always turns out!
Ingredients: 1 large banana *see notes about a quarter cup of butter (margarine would work) about a quarter-to-half cup of Brown/Golden sugar 1 lemon, a little rind and juice (makes many servings from 1 lemon) Cinnamon to taste Liquor: about 1 oz. I used Brandy, but Rum would work. Quality Vanilla Ice Cream (not pictured)Notes on banana ripeness -- I used bananas that still had veins of green - because I like them to have some texture after they're cooked. Materials: Stove of some sort, gas preferable -- see notes. Home automation server with router. Install the Linux based OpenWRT firmware on the router. The TL-WR741ND instructions can be found here: If you are stuck, start here: After you have a working SSH connection you can proceed. Because of the router (by default) runs the web admin page on the port 80, we need to add a secondary port to serve our custom web site.
For that, we need to configure the uhttpd (web server application) configuration file. Download WinSCP, to simply do this through SSH. Set up a new connection: Host name: normally 192.168.1.1 (by default) Port: 22 User name: root Password: what you gave after installation File protocol: SCP Find this file: /etc/config/uhttpd Copy the following into it: config 'uhttpd' 'secondary' option 'listen_http' '81' option 'home' '/HomeAutomation/www' option 'cgi_prefix' '/cgi-bin' option 'script_timeout' '60' option 'network_timeout' '30' And save it. iMac Desk. This is a teak desk, with a 1" thick arcyclic top/inlay. The desk is 31" tall, 48" wide, and 24" deep. The dimensions were chosen to maximize leg room and working space.'' If you hate wires, this arrangement is for you...
I bought my iMac in early may, and refused to open the box until I had the proper desk to place it on. I had a few specifications in mind: I wanted luxurious leg room, and a simple and architectural design that both incorporated the sleekness of the computer as well as the darkness of the woods in my room. I didn't really have a specific budget in mind, but i figured a large desk with a veneer and a cool top would cost me around $300-$400. Asides from being ripped off in Chinatown, the costs of this desk were kept pretty low... kind of. **Home depot's 4" blocks are actually 3.5". update: I recently added a remote controlled mount to my desk that allows me to use my iPad as a distant monitor and as a mouspad. Actuator: Travel like a Local! Localyte.com was originally created because many of the best travel experiences start with getting to know a local person like you. Localyte brought travelers and Localytes together to promote authentic travel experiences.
Localytes were local people who were proud of where they lived, and wanted to share their local knowledge with travelers. Localyte.com provided a way for people to write about themselves. They could also describe services they might offer such as tours, driving, tutoring, and more. Members could provide helpful answers to questions posted by other users. Travelers could then contact Localytes through the site and begin communication about booking local tours or services for their trip. Travelers were able to post reviews on Localytes, give feedback, and interact with the worldwide community. The original design of Localyte is shown on the left. STEP-1. Mosquito/Insect Trap. Making a Gourd Canteen or Water bottle. The Gourd Water Bottle or Canteen The more common type of gourd (multi colored) that we see in the markets in the fall is a type of Cucurbita, related to pumpkins and squashes. It has a yellow or orange flower and blooms during the day.
They have a woody shell but are far too thin to consider for any type of container for utilitarian use. These are used for decorations and are disposed of. The type of gourds that were most used for lasting containers were of the type Lagenaria whose white blossoms open towards evening and grow on aggressive vines. At this point I will not go into the growing information on the Lagenaria gourds which I can provide for those who are interested by request. Well, we'll take up here "after harvest". Selecting a gourd: Select a cured gourd by the firmness of the shell. Until I got my metal canteen I used two types of styles for Rev War Reenacting. Construction Phase: With the hole made, you take whatever is necessary to scrape out the seeds and fluff.
Campfire Cooking. Here's a wonderful method for campfire cooking which is simple, versatile and doesn't even require cookware or a grill. All you need is some heavy-duty tin foil. Tear off a 12" sheet of foil and fold it back over your fist, making a "pocket". Roll the sides in a few turns so the pocket is only open at the top, and roll a turn or two up from the bottom for extra strength. The pocket needs to be leak-proof, and formed well enough to withstand cooking directly in the coals. If your foil is thin, you may need two layers. Start by lining the bottom of the pocket with thin slices of lemon.
Campfire Beans I think my most favorite campfire food is really true "Campfire Beans". Heavenly Fish Here's a recipe that the entire family will enjoy! Simple Meal-in-one In the center of a large piece of heavy duty aluminum foil place a hamburger patty (venison or chicken breasts would also work). Campers Stew An all time favorite meal in our family is a classic we called campers stew...... A USB Power Controled Plug Strip. With Isolation. The whole point of this Instructable was to allow me to power on all the accessories for my computer without thinking about it. And then not power all the little power vampire wall warts when I am not using the computer. The idea is simple, you power on your CPU, all of the other parts of the system power up (monitor, laser printer, speakers, etc) When you power off your CPU, they follow suit.Now there products out there that will do this for you, and if you do not have the experience working with line voltage electricity, please stop reading and just go buy one.
There are several products that do exactly what we are trying to do here, but of all the ones that I have reviewed have disadvantages over the device that we are going to build. They fall into three basic types: There are current sensing power strips, One of the outlets is set up to sense current flow. When this happens the electronics in the power strip power on the other outlets. Hidden USB Storage. I did this project without spending a dime. If, however, you aren't privileged to have a box full of miscellaneous wires, you may have to buy some cheap items.
