LIFEHACKER.COMAdd This Surprising Palate Cleanser to Your Thanksgiving SpreadI host a full Friendsgiving meal in early November because its truly heartwarming to bring my chosen family all together for a home cooked mealbut low-key. I also need to test side dishes to share with you all. This year, the most surprising dish I made wasnt squash, or another spin on sweet potatoes, but a resurrection of summer fruit. I made a warm roasted tomato salad, and I think it may have earned its spot at the table forever.I think we can all acknowledge that the Thanksgiving meal is primarily a parade of luscious fats, umami, salt, and carbs. I have no issues with this. However, repetition of the same flavors can cause something called palate fatigue (often a term used in wine tasting): Nuanced flavors become harder to detect because your taste buds are exhausted. Including an acidic dish, like tomatoes, creates opposition, gives you the feeling of a palate cleanser, essentially kicking your buds back into gear.Revive cold-weather tomatoesYes, you could serve a raw tomato salad to access the fruit's bright acidity, but fall and winter tomatoes have a diminished flavor compared to the peak season ones we saw a few months ago. My guess is thats why we dont see them a ton on Thanksgiving tables. Luckily, a quick trip to the oven can change all that.Roasting dull winter tomatoes evaporates some of their water, thus concentrating their flavors, and it browns the bottoms, exhibiting the maillard reaction and caramelization of the natural sugars. Thats my long way of saying: Roasted tomatoes will have much more flavor than raw tomatoes in fall. Plus, it couldnt be easier.How to make a warm roasted tomato saladI like plum tomatoes for this, but Campari tomatoes work too. I prefer these varieties because of their medium size, and they happen to soften nicely. Using my air fryer secret for roasting, sprinkle some salt into a bowl with the tomatoes. Then drizzle a teaspoon of oil into one palm. Rub your palms together and then rub each tomato with your oily hands. The salt will naturally get picked up. Place the tomatoes, either whole or halved, on an unlined baking sheet. Unlined baking sheets will give your tomatoes more color.Roast the tomatoes at 375F for about 30 minutes, orif they're wholeuntil theyve just burst slightly. If theyre halved, they're done when the bottoms have some browning. (You can place halved tomatoes either cut-side down or skin-side down, but I've found that cut-side down is more prone to sticking.) Plating this dish is flexible, and theres almost no way to screw it up. Carefully scoop the tomatoes onto a serving dish, and place hunks of burrata or fresh mozzarella in between the burst tomatoes. If you dont like soft cheese, you can shave large sheets of Pecorino Romano over the top instead.Drizzle it all with some finishing olive oil, and a sprinkle of (fill in the blank): This is really where you can make the dish your own. I used dry Calabrian chili flakes this year. Perhaps youd scatter chopped fresh basil over the top. Maybe chopped salted pistachios and za'atar are more your vibe. If you have garlic confit, you know what to do. But even if you skip the final garnish, you must crush some flaky salt over the top.The dish will look simple but tantalizing nonetheless. I actually prefer making dishes that have easily identifiable ingredients so I dont have to field as many questions. You dont need a tonmaybe one or two tomatoes per guestto supply an acidic intermission halfway through the first helping.Warm Roasted Tomato SaladIngredients:8-14 Campari tomatoesNeutral cooking oil to coat teaspoon salt1 ball burrata cheese (or fresh mozzarella)A drizzle extra virgin olive oilA sprinkle flaky saltChopped basil, pistachios, chili flakes, or other garnish (optional)1. Preheat the oven to 375F.2. Put the tomatoes in a bowl and sprinkle the teaspoon of salt over top. Drizzle a small amount of oil into your palms; it should be enough to coat the tomatoes. Rub your palms together and then rub all of the tomatoes, rolling them around to pick up the salt. Place the tomatoes on an unlined baking sheet, drizzle with any excess oil, and roast them for about 30 minutes or until they just begin to crack and burst. Cool them for a few minutes.3. Put the tomatoes on a serving platter. Rip the burrata into six or seven hunks and dot the dish with the cheese. Drizzle the dish with a bit of olive oil and a sprinkle of flaky salt and any additional garnish you like. Serve warm.0 Комментарии 0 Поделились 8 Просмотры

LIFEHACKER.COMYouTube Music Is Already Rolling Out Its Version of Spotify WrappedSpotify might have pioneered the yearly streaming recap, but these days, every other service has its own version of "Wrapped." If you're a YouTube Music subscriber, for instance, not only do you have the option to check out a year-end summary of your listening habits, those stats are rolling out to select users now.While you might think December would be a better time to start recapping the past year of music activity, YouTube wants some of us to go back in time right now. It's not that weird for YouTube in particular, since its music streaming service offers seasonal recaps throughout the year. However, as Mashable highlights, the feature isn't rolling out for all users yet, so don't be bummed if you have to wait a bit longer for your summary. If it is working on your end, here's what you can expect. You'll see the standard stats, such as your top tracks, artists, and podcasts, complete with listening time for each. But you'll also see some more abstract results, as well. YouTube Music will let you know what your "listening vibes" were this year, including genres like "Electronic," to moods like "Hyped" or "Pumped up." You'll also see your "music character," which breaks down the "personality" of the types of music you listened to this year, as well as your "musical moods," which can include anything from "Dramatic" to "Dancey."How to access your YouTube Music recapAs the feature is actively rolling out, you may open your YouTube Music app on your iPhone or Android and see a "2024 Recap is here" alert, above the new "Speed Dial" section. If you don't see the alert, you can try looking for your recap yourself: Tap your profile, then choose Your Recap. From here, you can tap Get your Recap to, well, get your recap. You can also try heading directly to yt.be/music/recap to see if that will force YouTube Music to show you your recap.0 Комментарии 0 Поделились 7 Просмотры

WWW.ENGADGET.COMThe new Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is $30 off for Black FridayAmazon only rolled out the 2024 Kindle Paperwhite last month, but its already discounted for Black Friday. The new ereader which has faster page turns, a bigger and better screen and longer battery life is marked down to $130 ($30 off). Thats its first discount on one of our picks for best ereader since launch. The sixth-generation Paperwhite has a seven-inch screen, noticeably bigger than the 6.8-inch one on its predecessor. Amazon also boosted the displays contrast thanks to its oxide thin-film transistor display tech, which should help reduce eyestrain. It still has a warm light that you can tune to match your rooms lighting. The front light in the new model gets 25 percent brighter at its maximum level than the fifth-gen model. The new Paperwhite has 25 percent faster page turns than its predecessors, which Engadgets Amy Skorheim found makes a marked difference in the reading experience. (The review was for the more expensive Signature Edition, but it has identical page turns.) At 7.8mm thick, this is the thinnest Paperwhite to date. The ereader still has IPX8 water resistance, and the device uses a new rubberized texture that makes it easier to grip. Amazon estimates its battery will last up to 12 weeks per charge. It ships with a USB-C cable (but no power brick). You can also save on the new standard Kindle on sale for $85 (from $110). Although that model skips out on the warm light and has a smaller screen, it gives you a lighter and more compact ereader on the cheap.

WWW.ENGADGET.COMThe Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are back on sale for $229 for Black FridayIt's been over a year since Bose released its QuietComfort Ultra Wireless Earbuds but we would argue they're still the best noise-canceling earbuds on the market. Now, for Black Friday, they're also back down to their best price, dropping to $229 from $299. We gave the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Wireless Earbuds a 88 in our review thanks to features like you guessed it amazing active noise cancellation. We found these earbuds especially impressive when it came to blocking airplane noise so, if you have a long flight ahead, this is where to look. These earbuds also produced really great sound quality due to Immersive Audio and spatial audio technology. The clarity, detail and volume come together to create a natural sound that makes it feel as if you're not even wearing earbuds. Bose's QuietComfort Ultra Wireless Earbuds also tout an impressive battery life (though using Immersive Audio really eats into it). We did find the earbuds to be a bit large, but there are nine soft tips to choose from so hopefully one works for you. Overall, these are a very solid option especially at the discounted price if you want great ANC without having to wear headphones.
