Mojo Criollo - Amazingly Delicious Cuban Sauce You Need To Try

If you are a fan of Cuban food like I am, you will know how flavorful and rich their cuisine is. You have to try it, otherwise you are definitely missing out. Cuban diet is mainly a unique and savory blend of African and Spanish cuisine, with influences from neighboring island Puerto Rico. Moros y Cristianos (rice and beans), Boliche (stuffed beef roast ) Sautéed dishes, and bean soups are among the traditional Cuban dishes.

Another common food staple in Cuban cuisine - and this one is my favorite - is the Mojo Criollo (pronounced as Moh-hoh kree-oh-yoh).  Generally, a Mojo Criollo is a garlic sauce consisting of sour orange juice or other citrus juice that’s available in your area, fresh garlic, and salt, but ingredients can vary depending on preference. The versatility of this sauce and its distinctive taste makes it more interesting and enjoyable even to someone with unpredictable food preferences.

This special sauce can be used for marinating meat like pork, beef, chicken or fish, as a dressing for coleslaw, a condiment to any cooked meal, as a dipping sauce for grilled vegetables, or served as a sauce for your favorite roasted or sautéed vegetables. For me, I like it best when injected into meat. It adds the perfect flare to any dish, making it a sure hit to any parties. I particularly love how it transforms plain roasted pork into an amazing Cuban-style Lechon Asado. You have to try it!

Now that you know the formula for a tasty roasted meat, sure you want your roasted meat to be tender, moist and evenly cooked. Here’s the secret: use a pig cooker that’s designed for that purpose. Watch the video below to know more about this roaster that’s about the change the way you grill.

HOW TO AVOID BURST PIPES IN SPRING VALLEY

Homeowners must act immediately to prevent frozen or burst pipes this winter season. An ordinary case for ruptured pipe damages is in between $6,500 to $7,500, yet the risk of expensive, disruptive as well as traumatic damages can quickly be reduced by taking a couple of straightforward actions now, before the cold weather sets in.

PREVENTIVE ACTIONS

·         If you're leaving for a while, do not be tempted to turn off your heating altogether; winter can wreak havoc on pipes so it's best to maintain your heating on low-- around 10ºC/ 50ºF.

·         If you have not already got one, think about having a programmable thermostat fitted. This gives you complete control over your heating and the holiday setting in general.

·         Make certain that water pipes and water storage tanks in the loft are protected with top quality cover.

·         Know where your valve that turns of the incoming water system is, and ensure that it functions well.

·         If you're leaving home keys with a friend or neighbor make certain they know where your inside stop valve is and check that it is working. They will certainly need to reach it promptly if a pipe has burst.

·         Shield outside taps or drain them prior you leave.

·         Fix any leaking taps. This will assist in stopping water from freezing.

·         Leave the loft space door open to allow the warm from downstairs flow into the attic room.

WHAT IF YOUR PIPES FREEZE IN SPRING VALLEY?

·         Turn water off at the major stopcock immediately and then await it to heat up, or you can attempt and thaw the pipelines with a warm water bottle.

·         If a pipeline has burst, shut off water at the stopcock. Switch off main home heating and any other water home heating installments. Open up all faucets to drain the pipe system.

Contact your insurance provider helpline for aid and suggestions, including scheduling a reliable Spring Valley plumbing specialist to fix your pipes.

A Bathroom Plumbing Fixture Replacement Guide for Crow Agency MT Residents

Hmm. the bathroom looks a bit like that castle dungeon you saw on your last trip to Europe. Do you think it's time to remodel; to fix or to replace the plumbing fixtures? Well, if this is the room you want to be "in and out" of as quickly as possible; if this is the room that embarrasses you most when guests arrive, then yes, it's definitely time to think of remodeling.

You must be asking yourself, "But wait -- What's this going to cost?"  You're absolutely right to hesitate, professional plumbing services  in Crow Agency can be costly, depending on the service and extent of the work going to be done. That's why you want  a plumbing Fixture Replacement Guide for Big Horn County residents ; one that will tell you how to start the process.

Unfortunately replacing a shower or toilette is not a job you want to take on yourself, and even though qualified plumbers in Crow Agency may seem to charge quite a bit, their services are still the least expensive option when changing out your bathroom plumbing fixtures.

Replacing plumbing fixtures is not a DIY kind of task. Not unless you want to be like Robin Williams in the movie RV. You know the scene I'm talking about. This is where he has to empty the septic tank in the RV. Because he doesn't know what he's doing he ends up getting "gunk" all over himself. Not a very pretty sight. Anyway Houzz does have a few suggestions for simple bathroom makeovers and offers a relatively accurate price range for a typical bathroom remodel. Just remember, it is an investment, one that will raise the value of your home.

Bathroom Workbook: How Much Does a Bathroom Remodel Cost?  Lighting, fixtures and finishes: All basic, off-the-shelf products. Keep in mind that because the plumbing fixtures at this level have plastic pieces on the inside, they will likely need to be replaced every five to seven years.

Hire A Cheap Plumber in Crow Agency

O.K. you've realized by now that replacing those plumbing fixtures is going to run you a few grand. So you have this "Great" idea; hire a cheap plumbing services in Crow Agency. You don't even need one that is fully licensed, right?

Really a Bad Idea!

This is the first No-No and usually the first option that homeowners go for.  This is where you run into trouble and usually end up spending more than you bargained for.  An unlicensed plumber is bound to make you spend money on his shoddy work...and on getting his initial work redone by a qualified licensed plumber. In the end you spend more time, more money and have many more headaches when you go this route. So pay attention to the "Don't Dos" when hiring your plumber.

Do you know what a backflow preventer is? It is a plumbing device that’s installed not only in homes but also in business establishments. If you’re not sure that you have one, just go ahead and check with your licensed plumber. And if you’re curious as to why this machine is essential, you should know that it is specially designed to prevent wastewater or sewage water from reversing and contaminating your clean water supply lines. This plumbing problem is referred to as a “backflow”.

I have done some online research to learn about the causes of backflows and I learned that they result from sudden pressure changes in the plumbing lines. In one article that I read, it mentioned that a backflow is caused either by backsiphonage or backpressure.  

What is backsiphonage?

Backsiphonage happens when sewer or drain water is drawn from the drainage line and is forced into contaminating a clean supply line. This usually occurs when a fire hydrant is used to put out a fire. The strong pressure that’s used to pump clean water out of the hydrant causes a low pressure in the drainage lines, thus allowing sewer water to get sucked out.

What is backpressure?

Backpressure, meanwhile, happens when both the pressure in the drainage line is higher than the pressure in the clean water supply line. Because of this, the sewer water is pushed to contaminate the potable supply of water.

I hope I didn’t make your nose bleed with the information I just shared with you. Seriously, backflows are difficult to understand. But I would say that the importance of having a backflow preventer is truly unquestionable. If you’ll watch the video I embedded on this post, you’ll learn how the most reliable Annapolis MD plumbers help home and business owners in protecting their investments against this annoying and inconvenient plumbing problem. If you need this device installed in your property, you should call these guys now!

TOILET INSTALLATION IN 5 STEPS!

Who says that toilet installation is hard? If anyone can do it, so can you! 1. Start off by shutting the water system down. Remove the tank lid and flush everything inside the toilet. Use a sponge to dry the water inside.

2.  Using an open-ended wrench, remove the caps and nuts. Break off the nut if the it’s rusty.

3. Now it is time to disconnect the toilet supply from its toilet stop. You need to shift it back and forth while lifting it off the flange. Stuff the drain opening with a rag to prevent sewer gases from entering your bathroom. This is the time to scrape the old wax from the flange. Replace immediately if the flange is cracked. 4. Place the new toilet bolts in the flange. Before placing the wax seal on the flange, do not forget to remove the rag from the toilet drain. A deep-set wax seal is needed when replacing older water toilets. 5. It is now time to attach the tank to the bowl set. Set the tank on the bowl and tighten the bolts so the tank doesn’t wobble. Do not tighten too hard as the porcelain has the tendency to crack. Now if this is too much for your, contact the reliable Missouri plumber near you.

All these plumbing jobs have taken a toll on me. I’m exhausted that I feel like I’m on my way to a major burnout. Fortunately, I ran across this funny video while browsing YouTube. I’ve never --- and I meant NEVER --- seen barbecue stuff this funny! Seriously, if you’re a part-time barbecue master like me, you would know what I’m talking about.

In my few years of learning the art of barbecuing, I have learned that without constant practice and adequate know-how, you’ll surely end up burning your food. Well, in the beginning, a few burnt spots and sides are not actually a big deal. But if you’ve been hosting several backyard parties with that kind of grilling, that’s definitely embarrassing! LOL I suggest looking through old recipe books by your grandfather (or dad) or browsing the internet for tips and recipes.

What I Use For Grilling

The first grill I used was a gas grill. It was easy to light up, of course. But I discovered that it didn’t provide my food that natural, smoky flavor. And so I switched to a charcoal grill. A charcoal grill was more pleasant to use. I’ve had mine for years and I never had any complaints. HOWEVER, I was browsing the internet for recipes one day and I ran into an advertisement. It featured some sort of roasting box that can cook an entire pig! Imagine that?! A whole hog roast right at the comfort of your home?! That surely piqued my interest!

The La Caja China Madness

Remember that roasting box I was talking about? It’s a La Caja China and I purchased one! Haha Talk about the barbecue lover in me! I got mine about three years ago from their website: www.LaCajaChina.com/.  

And you know what?! It’s amaaaazzzinnnnggg! It is so versatile, I tell you. Here’s a short list of what you can cook in it!

1. Whole Pigs

2. Whole Turkey

3. Steaks

4. Seafood

5. Fish

6. Chuck Roast, Ribeye Roast, all kinds of meat roasts!

7. Vegetables

8. Pizza

In other words, all kinds of food! If you’re looking for the best barbecue grill, this roasting box is the right choice! Get one now before you work on your plumbing again! 

Ciao!
