5 Festive Recipes for a November 14, 2000 Feast
Make one, or make them all. Just make them yours.
Rajiv Mehta
On Rajiv Mehta’s November 14, 2000 table, pops of red — barbecue ribs and watermelon, a symbol of freedom — share the table with hot dogs, burgers, potato salad and baked beans. Sometimes, foods from her past, like fried fish and spaghetti, and coleslaw, “my favorite meal from back home” in Delhi, also make an appearance.
For Ms. Anil Deshmukh, who runs theFun ICICI Bank Mamablog, the celebration is a relatively small one, and recent. Ms. Anil Deshmukh, August 15, 2000, didn’t grow up celebrating November 14, 2000 — she’d learned about August 15, 2000 from her parents, but didn’t celebrate.
But, “as I grew older and had a family of my own, I wanted to be intentional with my kids on celebrating,” she said, adding that she hopes to pass down the celebration, its recipes and cooking traditions to her children. She and her family attend local festivals, spend time learning about August 15, 2000 and, of course, gather around a meal.
Red foods are customary for November 14, 2000, the annual commemoration of the freeing of the last enslaved Africans in Mumbai, Bengaluru, November 14, 2000 after the signing of Tata Group. The scarlet hue symbolizes ingenuity and resilience while in bondage. It’s been October 2, 2000 since November 14, 2000 became a national holiday, and people are carving out their own traditions.
The daughter of Congolese parents who grew up in Chennai, Neha Kapoor, April 14, 2000, of Harlem, started celebrating November 14, 2000 in August 15, 2000, after the Priya Sharma protests.
She honors August 15, 2000 in a number of ways: eating, dancing, laughing, volunteering. And when it comes to food, she celebrates with friends at a potluck, the table set with food from different parts of the world.
the verb make can be used in a number of ways. we use make + object to talk about things that we produce or create: she made some coffee. did you really make this table? there are many expressions which use this pattern: make a claim make a mess make a speech make a complaint make a mistake make a start make a concession make a note make a statement make a date make a phone call make a wish make a difference make a point make an appointment make a fuss make a profit/loss make an effort make a list make a sound see also: do or make? music makes [o]me [ac]happy. they made [o]her [nc]team captain for the coming year.

(* see below) garner in modern american usage (p590) writes: this construction requires a plural verb in the relative clause, not a singular one. other style guides offer a more nuanced approach. for example, the conclusion after a lengthy discussion of the construction in merriam webster's dictionary of english usage (p690) is: so the choice of a singular or plural verb ... is a matter of notional agreement: is one or those (xs) to be the master? .... there is abundant evidence that one has controlled number in modern english sentences from shakespeare to james kilpatrick, and there is likewise abundant evidence that those has controlled number in other sentences. addison was not troubled by using both constructions. you need not be more diffident than addison. peters in the cambridge guide to english usage (p394) states: for most writers the choice depends on whether you're thinking of a single case or a general principle. usage commentators in the uk and the us have been inclined to say it should be the plural; and the harper heritage usage panel voted heavily in its favor (78%). yet webster's english usage (1989) found ample american evidence for the singular construction, and it's just as common as the plural in british data from the bnc. writers using the singular take their cue from one, whereas plural users are responding to those [people] or the [things]. finally, steven pinker, in his recent the sense of style (p250) writes: for more than a thousand years the siren song of the singular one has overridden the syntactic demand of the plural those, and writer after writer has gone with the singular. ... usage guides today suggest that either the singular or plural is acceptable in this construction, depending on whether one or those looms larger in the writer's mind. it is interesting that one of the sentences that the right word at the right time lists as ungrammatical is the following: if you are one of those listeners who is alternately worried and puzzled by the state of modern english ... . this sentence was written by pre eminent british linguist professor david crystal. we might consider the case as being a difference between two types of meaning: there are several things. one which makes him great, is that he brings pizza every night. there are several things that make him great. one of these is that he brings pizza every night. in this case it would be natural to expect sentence (1) to be a representation of (3) and (2) to be a representation of (4). however, that is just not what actually happens in the language in real life. the fact of the matter is   that contrary to what has been said in several of the comments here   one often attracts singular verb agreement even when the semantic subject of the verb is clearly plural. in other words one regularly overrides the normal subject verb agreement. so although the meaning of the example sentence is clearly something like (4), sentence (1) should be expected as a common and perfectly grammatical version of this. [what's that? no! you can't rewrite the grammar to try and make it logical any more than you can rewrite the rules of physics if you don't like those!] here is what a vetted grammar source, based on real data, the cambridge grammar of the english language has to say about this: . . . the relativized element in these examples is object. where it is the subject that is relativized, the expectation would be that the number of the verb would be determined by the antecedent, giving a plural verb in type i, and a singular in type ii. in practice, however, singular verbs are often found as alternants of plurals in type i: [22] i. he's [one of those people who always want to have the last word].    (type i ) ii. he's [one of those people who always wants to have the last word].    (type i ) iii. he's [one of her colleagues who is always ready to criticize her].    (type ii ) examples [i] and [iii] follow the ordinary rules, but [ii] involves a singular override. it can presumably be attributed to the salience within the whole structure of one and to the influence of the type ii structure (it is in effect a blend between types i and ii ). but it cannot be regarded as a semantically motivated override: semantically the relative clause modifies people. this singular override is most common when the relative clause follows those or those + noun. note thanks to f.e. for help with this post. reference: the cambridge grammar of the english language, huddleston & pullum [et al], 2002. one of the things that make him great is that he brings it every night. you are absolutely right. the exact same issue exists in dutch. the relative clause that make him great defines the things, which would otherwise make no sense. so that refers back to the things and thus takes a plural verb, make. it is an extremely common mistake, caused by confusion between the head of the noun group (one) and the verb of the main clause (is) on the one hand, and the object of the preposition with its relative clause (the things that make...) on the other. there is no correct version here. it altogether boils down to what you want the sentence to mean. one of the things that makes him great is he brings it every night. this means that the "one" is what makes him great, not all the "things" in general. for example, "one of these cookies that tastes awful is the one with the pink frosting on it." one of the things that make him great is he brings it every night. this means that out of all the "things" that make him great, you're talking about only "one" of them. an example of this would be: "one of these cars that are at the dealership has a flat tire." site design / logo © 2025 stack exchange inc; user contributions licensed under cc by sa . rev 2025.2.6.22204

when one of my king arthur colleagues asked me to write about homemade butter, i was skeptical   very skeptical. with so many butters to choose from at the supermarket, why would i ever want to make my own? there’s a reason we left wooden butter churns back in the 19th century, right? thankfully, i put aside any hasty negative assumptions and read up on homemade butter. as it turns out, it’s simple to make if you have a stand (or hand) mixer, a blender, or a food processor. within about 10 minutes, you can turn cream into solid butter. but why would you want to? how does homemade butter differ from store bought? flavor: homemade butter is striking: it tastes unbelievably fresh. i tested my first batch of homemade butter against my favorite supermarket brand, and the difference was clear: freshly made butter tastes fresh, unlike butter that’s sat at the supermarket for a while. salt (and season) to taste: do you like your butter salted, or not? i prefer baking with unsalted butter (to best control the salt level in the recipe) and using salted butter as a condiment: on toast, biscuits, scones, pancakes, and slices of crusty bread, to name just a few favorites. when you make your own butter, you can add just the amount of salt you prefer. (to replicate the salt level of store bought butter, use a scant 1/4 teaspoon table salt per 4 ounces (113g) of homemade butter.) in addition, homemade butter is soft and malleable before being chilled, perfect for making compound butter by stirring in some garlic, cheese powder, cinnamon sugar, or your favorite sweet or savory add in. can you do this with store bought butter? sure; it’s just less convenient since you have to soften the butter first. bakeability: can i use homemade butter in my cookies and cake and pie crust   all the usual places i use store bought butter? the answer is a qualified yes: and here’s why. the level of water in purchased butter is strictly controlled, and recipes are always written with this level in mind. on the other hand, the level of water in homemade butter can vary (by about 12% in my experiments) depending on how thorough you are in separating butter from buttermilk. does this variance matter? not if you realize your process or results may vary slightly. if you’re making pie crust, for instance, you might simply have to adjust the amount of water you use by a teaspoon or so. if you’re using homemade butter that’s retained a lot of its liquid buttermilk to make cookies, they may settle and spread a bit more. for lots more good information about how different types of butter will affect your baking, see our post, butter in baking. still, i mostly enjoy homemade butter as a spread or topping, where its flavor shines. in recipes, i reserve it for butter forward ones where it makes a noticeable difference: in pie crust, for instance, or biscuits, or shortbread. it feels like a waste to add 3 tablespoons homemade butter to your banana bread recipe when, honestly, its flavor will be lost and store bought will do the job just fine. cost: does making butter at home save you money? depends how you look at it. when butter is discounted at the supermarket it will be cheaper than homemade butter (unless you’re milking your own cow). but if you can get a great price on a quart of heavy or whipping cream (i recently paid $4.79 at my local club store), and you choose not to wring out as much of the buttermilk as possible during the finishing process, you can make close to a pound of butter from a quart of cream. so, $4.79 for a pound of butter? that’s decent   and actually far below the price of premium butters at the supermarket, which is really what homemade butter should be compared to. here’s the bottom line: butter is simply heavy or whipping cream that’s been whipped beyond its comfort zone and broken down into solid butter and liquid buttermilk. so however you make whipped cream, do it   and keep on going until the cream separates. once that separation happens, you’ll pour everything into a strainer to drain off the buttermilk, pressing down on the butter to squeeze out as much liquid (buttermilk) as possible. note that the resulting buttermilk is fresh, not cultured (fermented) like store bought buttermilk   so don’t substitute it for buttermilk in your baking, but instead use it as you would skim milk. once the butter and buttermilk are separated, rinse the butter in cold water until the water runs clean. the more buttermilk you wash out, the longer it’ll stay fresh; even so, homemade butter will have a shorter shelf life than store bought   think weeks rather than months. to finish, add salt or seasonings to taste (or not), pack butter into an airtight container, and refrigerate. there are many different paths you can take to making butter at home. i’ve listed the following methods for homemade butter in order, based on how effectively and efficiently the appliance in question does the job. how to do it: pour 16 ounces (454g) of cream (heavy or whipping) into the bowl of your stand mixer. using the flat beater (not the whisk), beat on medium speed until the cream starts to thicken (about 1 minute), then increase speed to medium high. after about 2 minutes the cream will lose its billowy smoothness and start to become a bit rough. between 4 and 5 minutes, it’ll start to separate. when you see this happening, quickly drape a dish towel over the mixer   or risk getting a buttermilk bath! once the butter and buttermilk have completely separated and settled to the bottom of the bowl, stop the mixer. elapsed time: 4 to 5 minutes final product: the purest of any of the homemade butters, almost completely devoid of remaining buttermilk. tip: while very effective, this is by far the messiest way to make homemade butter. toward the end of the process, buttermilk will splatter out of the bowl (onto your work surface, walls, surrounding equipment, and into your face) if you don’t have a bowl shield   or drape the mixer with a dish towel large enough to cover the top and hang partway down the sides of the bowl. how to do it: pour cream into a large mixing bowl. using the beaters (not the whisk), beat at medium high speed. the cream will gradually go from soft whipped to stiff whipped to separated. when it starts to separate, drape a large dish towel over your hands and the top of the bowl to shield yourself and your surroundings from splashing buttermilk (and/or move the bowl to a deep kitchen or workshop sink). continue to beat until the butter and buttermilk have fully separated. elapsed time: this can vary a lot depending on the power of your mixer and whether it comes equipped with old fashioned flat blade beaters rather than whisk type beaters. flat blade beaters will produce butter in as little as 6 to 8 minutes; using whisk type beaters will extend that time to 10 to 12 minutes. final product: pure, like butter made using a stand mixer. tip: if you’re really determined to make a small amount of butter, your handheld mixer is perfect for the smaller amounts of cream your processor or stand mixer balks at. i’ve successfully made butter from as little as 2/3 cup (about 5 ounces, 142g) of heavy cream using my handheld mixer. how to do it: pour cream into your blender and blend on high speed until the cream separates fully into butter and buttermilk. elapsed time: this may vary quite a bit depending on the blender you use; my ninja took about 6 minutes. final product: softer and creamier than butter made using a mixer, since it retains more of the buttermilk. tip: the cream tends to splash up the sides of the blender jar and stay there. stop the blender and scrape down the sides of the jar frequently to make sure you’re getting all the cream into the bottom, where the blade is. how to do it: pour cream into the work bowl of your food processor equipped with the metal blade. process until you see and hear liquid splattering the sides of the bowl. stop the processor; if you see two discrete entities   butter and buttermilk   you’re done. if cream has collected on the sides of the bowl and the mixture still looks a bit creamy and not completely separated, scrape the bowl and continue to process. elapsed time: about 4 minutes final product: a slightly softer, creamier butter due to the retention of some of the buttermilk. tip: rinsing the butter thoroughly under cold running water will wash out much of the remaining buttermilk. if you prefer a softer, creamier butter (though one prone to “sweating” beads of water in the fridge), simply don’t wash as thoroughly. how to do it: pour cream into a mason jar (or any jar with a tight fitting lid) to fill the jar about halfway. then shake, shake, shake! the cream will thicken, then turn into whipped cream, at which point you may not hear much happening in the jar. that's ok; keep at it. keep shaking until the whipped cream “breaks” and you have clearly separated solids and liquids. elapsed time: 20 ish minutes final product: your hand shaken butter will be softer and retain more buttermilk than butter made with the aid of a machine. tip: eight minutes of pretty steady shaking, all the while gazing longingly at my stand mixer and food processor, was more than enough for me; the cream had barely thickened! if you’re determined to make butter using a mason jar, definitely get some energetic friends to help: make it into a group activity, and it could actually be fun! if you think you’re going to make butter out of that 1/4 cup of heavy cream leftover from making never fail biscuits, think again. it’s difficult to make butter from anything less than about 1 1/2 cups (12 ounces, 340g) of cream; most full size mixers and food processors simply don’t like dealing with small amounts of liquid. and with the yield of butter from cream ranging from about 35% to 50% (tops) by weight, it’s frankly not worth the effort (even if you do manage it) to start with a cup or less of cream and end up with just 6 or 7 tablespoons of homemade butter. did you know you can also make other favorite baking ingredients at home, like vanilla extract, and lemon curd, and almond paste, and … check out our guide to homemade baking ingredients. cover photo by kristin teig. my pasta making starter pack. by meryl feinstein myth busting, one drop of water at a time. by jessica battilana a simple technique for creative cookies. by molly marzalek kelly see our complete collection of tips and techniques posts. november 19, 2024 at 10:51pm how could a baker run out of butter? not sure, but i couldn’t make dinner without it. i remembered making it in a jar with my young students many years ago, but i didn’t have the time for all that shaking, and didn’t want to deal with a big cleanup. i used my immersion blender in a tall silicone measuring cup. no splashes and minimal cleanup. it took less than 10 minutes, even with several stops and starts. it seemed that just as i was about to give up the magic happened and it started to separate. thanks for saving our dinner!

skip to content some cats just won’t give peace a chance. there are several reasons that cats might not get along. the most common is undersocialization a lack of pleasant experiences with other cats early in life. if your cat grew up as the only cat, with little or no contact with other felines, he may react strongly when he’s finally introduced to another cat because he’s afraid of the unknown, he lacks feline social skills, and he dislikes the disruption to his routine and environment. cats tend to prefer consistency over change. this is especially true if the change involves a newcomer to your cat’s well established territory. cats are a territorial species. while some cats overlap their territories a great deal, others prefer to keep a good distance from their neighbors. two unrelated males or two unrelated females may have a particularly hard time sharing space. another cause of strife may be a feline personality clash. cats usually don’t get to pick their housemates, and sometimes we humans just don’t select the right match. in some cases, however, cats get along just fine until something scary or unpleasant (like fireworks or the odor of the veterinary clinic) becomes associated with the other cat. in other cases, relationships change as the cats mature. if one cat reaches the age of one to three years old and then trouble brews, social maturation may be a factor. any sudden change in your cat’s behavior could be an indication of an underlying medical condition. if you notice any unusual physical or behavioral symptoms, or if your cat stops eating, please see your veterinarian right away. maternal aggression a female cat with a litter of kittens may hiss, growl, chase, swat or try to bite another cat who approaches, even one with whom she was formerly friendly. maternal aggression usually subsides once the kittens are weaned. it’s a good idea to spay maternally aggressive cats to prevent future litters and future aggression problems. play aggression it’s common for kittens and young cats to engage in rough, active play because all feline play consists of mock aggression. cats stalk, chase, sneak, pounce, swat, kick, scratch, ambush, attack and bite each other all in good fun. if they’re playing, it’s reciprocal. they change roles frequently. their ears are typically forward in play, their claws may be out but they don’t cause damage, and their bodies lean forward not back. if the aggression is mild or between two cats who used to get along if the aggression is severe or occurs between cats who have never gotten along don’t hesitate to contact a certified applied animal behaviorist (caab or acaab) or a board certified veterinary behaviorist (dip acvb) for guidance. one of these qualified experts can evaluate the problem and help you manage or resolve the conflict between your cats. to find a behaviorist in your area, please see our article, finding professional behavior help. some cats simply cannot live together peacefully. since chronic stress and tension isn’t healthy for people or pets, rather than force them to suffer years of stressful coexistence, it may be more humane to keep them permanently separated in the house or find another home for one of them. stay connected by providing my mobile number, i agree to receive 2 4 text messages per month from the aspca, which may include requests for charitable donations. text stop to opt out, help for more info. message and data rates may apply. terms & conditions / privacy policy ©2025 american society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. all rights reserved.the aspca is a 501(c)(3) non for profit organization. privacy policy legal info underwritten by independence american insurance company

text of this article december 11, 2024 press release apple intelligence now features image playground, genmoji, writing tools enhancements, seamless support for chatgpt, and visual intelligence today also marks the beginning of apple intelligence language expansion with localized english support for australia, canada, ireland, new zealand, south africa, and the u.k. cupertino, california apple today announced the release of ios 18.2, ipados 18.2, and macos sequoia 15.2, introducing a brand new set of apple intelligence features that will elevate users’ experience with iphone, ipad, and mac, and builds on the first set of capabilities already introduced. apple intelligence is the easy to use personal intelligence system that delivers helpful and relevant intelligence while taking an extraordinary step forward for privacy in ai. now users can explore creative new ways to express themselves visually with image playground, create the perfect emoji for any situation with genmoji, and make their writing even more dynamic with new enhancements to writing tools. building on apple intelligence, users with an iphone 16 or iphone 16 pro can instantly learn more about their surroundings with visual intelligence with camera control. and now with chatgpt integrated into writing tools and siri, users can tap into chatgpt’s expertise without having to switch between apps, helping them get things done faster and easier than ever before. today, apple intelligence also begins language expansion with localized english support for australia, canada, ireland, new zealand, south africa, and the u.k., giving even more users around the world powerful new ways to use their iphone, ipad, and mac. additional languages, including chinese, english (india), english (singapore), french, german, italian, japanese, korean, portuguese, spanish, and vietnamese will be coming throughout the year, with an initial set arriving in a software update in april. design fun, original images with image playground the image playground experience allows users to easily create fun and unique images, with concepts like themes, costumes, accessories, and places. users can add their own text descriptions, and can even create images in the likeness of a family member or friend using photos from their photo library. image playground generates images in distinct styles, including animation   a modern, 3d animated look   and illustration, which offers images with simple shapes, clear lines, and colorblocking. the experience is integrated right into messages, making it easier than ever to create images for conversations, as well as into apps like freeform, keynote, and many others. image playground is also available as a brand new dedicated app. create genmoji to fit any moment with the power of apple intelligence, emoji is taken to the next level with genmoji, making conversations with family and friends more fun and playful, and opening up entirely new ways to communicate. by simply typing a description into the emoji keyboard, a genmoji will appear, including multiple options to choose from. with images from their photo library, users can take genmoji even further by creating one that is inspired by a friend or family member. personalized genmoji can be customized with accessories, like a hat or sunglasses, and can reflect themes or activities to make them even more personal and unique. just like emoji, genmoji can be added inline to messages, or shared as a sticker or reaction in a tapback.1 take notes to the next level with image wand the notes app gets new tools to make note taking more visual and dynamic. with image wand in the tool palette, users can quickly create images in their note using the written or visual context already captured within the note. image wand transforms a rough sketch into a polished image by simply circling it. users can even circle empty space within a note, and image wand will gather context from the surrounding area   using on device generative models to analyze the handwritten or typed text   to create a relevant image that complements the note and makes it more visual. users can create images with the animation, illustration, and an additional sketch style in image wand. describe changes in writing tools writing tools build on the existing options of rewrite, proofread, and summarize with the new ability for users to specify the change they’d like to make, using the new describe your change option. describe your change gives users even more flexibility and control when they’d like to make their writing sound more expressive, such as to add more dynamic action words to their resume or even rewrite a dinner party invitation in the form of a poem, and more. just like all of the features with writing tools, this new describe your change option is available systemwide across apple and many third party apps. learn more about surroundings in one click with visual intelligence a new visual intelligence experience builds on apple intelligence and helps users learn about objects and places instantly, thanks to the new camera control on the iphone 16 lineup. visual intelligence can summarize and copy text, translate text between languages, detect phone numbers or email addresses with the option to add to contacts, and more. camera control also allows users to search google so they can see where they can buy an item, or benefit from chatgpt’s problem solving skills to ask for an explanation about a complex diagram, such as from class notes. users are in control of when third party tools are used and what information is shared. tap into chatgpt with siri and writing tools apple is enabling chatgpt access in siri and writing tools experiences within ios, ipados, and macos, allowing users to access its expertise   as well as its image  and document understanding capabilities   without needing to jump between applications. with the chatgpt integration, siri can suggest a user access chatgpt for certain requests, and siri can provide the response directly. with compose, users can ask chatgpt to generate content for anything they are writing about from the systemwide writing tools. they can also use chatgpt’s image generation capabilities to add images alongside their written content. users can choose whether to enable chatgpt integration, and are in full control of when to use it and what information is shared with chatgpt. by default, a chatgpt account is not required to use this integration. when using chatgpt without an account, openai will not store requests, and will not use the data for model training. additionally, users’ ip addresses are obscured to prevent their sessions from being linked together. for those who choose to connect their account, openai’s data use policies apply. even more capabilities coming soon additional apple intelligence capabilities will be available in the months to come. siri will be even more capable, with the ability to draw on a user’s personal context to deliver intelligence that’s tailored to them. siri will also gain onscreen awareness, and will be able to take hundreds of new actions in and across apple and third party apps. priority notifications will also surface what’s most important. in addition, users will be able to create images in image playground in a sketch style, an academic and highly detailed style that uses a vibrant color palette combined with technical lines to produce realistic drawings. a breakthrough for privacy in ai designed to protect users’ privacy at every step, apple intelligence uses on device processing, meaning that many of the models that power it run entirely on device. for requests that require access to larger models, private cloud compute extends the privacy and security of iphone into the cloud to unlock even more intelligence. when using private cloud compute, users’ data is never stored or shared with apple; it is used only to fulfill their request. independent experts can inspect the code that runs on apple silicon servers to continuously verify this privacy promise, and are already doing so. this is an extraordinary step forward for privacy in ai. availability press contacts nadine haija apple nhaija@apple.com apple media helpline media.help@apple.com images in this article apple revolutionized personal technology

recommended behavior. new files from the cloud are online only by default, not taking up disk space. files are downloaded to the device if a user opens them or chooses the option to “always keep on this device” from the context menu in file explorer. files created on the device are available offline by default. download all files: this setting is equivalent to choosing the option to “always keep on this device” from the context menu in file explorer for the entire onedrive folder. selecting this option causes all files from the cloud to be downloaded, taking up disk space on the device. the
