History of Video Games – The First Video Game Ever Made?
As an eager retro-gamer, for a serious long time I've been especially intrigued by the historical backdrop of computer games. To be progressively explicit, a subject that I am energetic about is "Which was the primary computer game ever made?"… Along these lines, I began a thorough examination regarding this matter (and making this article the first in a progression of articles that will cover in detail all video gaming history).
The inquiry was: Which was the main computer game at any point made?
The appropriate response: Well, as a great deal of things throughout everyday life, there is no simple response to that question. It relies upon your own meaning of the expression "computer game". For instance: When you talk about "the primary computer game", do you mean the principal computer game that was monetarily made, or the main comfort game, or possibly the primary carefully customized game? Along these lines, I made a rundown of 4-5 computer games that somehow were the apprentices of the video gaming industry. You will see that the primary computer games were not made with getting any benefit from them (back in those decades there was no Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Sega, Atari, or some other computer game organization around). Truth be told, the sole thought of a "computer game" or an electronic gadget which was just made for "messing around and having a ton of fun" was over the creative mind of over 99% of the populace back then. Be that as it may, because of this little gathering of prodigies who strolled the initial steps into the video gaming unrest, we can appreciate numerous long periods of fun and amusement today (keeping aside the production of a large number of occupations during the previous 4 or 5 decades). Right away, here I present the "primary computer game chosen people":
1940s: Cathode Ray Tube Amusement Device
This is thought of (with authentic documentation) as the principal electronic game gadget at any point made. It was made by Thomas T. Goldsmith Jr. what's more, Estle Ray Mann. The game was amassed during the 1940s and submitted for a US Patent in January 1947. The patent was conceded December 1948, which likewise makes it the main electronic game gadget to ever get a patent (US Patent 2,455,992). As portrayed in the patent, it was a simple circuit gadget with a variety of handles used to move a spot that showed up in the cathode beam tube show. This game was motivated by how rockets showed up in WWII radars, and the object of the game was essentially controlling a "rocket" so as to hit an objective. During the 1940s it was amazingly hard (for not saying difficult) to show designs in a Cathode Ray Tube show. Along these lines, just the real "rocket" showed up on the presentation. The objective and some other illustrations were appeared on screen overlays physically positioned on the showcase screen. It's been said by numerous that Atari's well known computer game "Rocket Command" was made after this gaming gadget.
1951: NIMROD
NIMROD was the name of a computerized PC gadget from the 50s decade. The makers of this PC were the architects of a UK-based organization under the name Ferranti, with showing the gadget at the 1951 Festival of Britain (and later it was additionally appeared in Berlin).
NIM is a two-player numerical round of system, which is accepted to come initially from the antiquated China. The standards of NIM are simple: There are a sure number of gatherings (or "stacks"), and each gathering contains a specific number of articles (a typical beginning cluster of NIM is 3 piles containing 3, 4, and 5 items individually). Every player alternate expelling objects from the piles, yet totally expelled objects must be from a solitary load and in any event one article is evacuated. The player to take the last article from the last store loses, anyway there is a variety of the game where the player to take the last object of the last stack wins. ข่าวฟุตบอลต่างประเทศล่าสุด
NIMROD utilized a lights board as a showcase and was arranged and made with the interesting reason for playing the round of NIM, which makes it the principal computerized PC gadget to be explicitly made for playing a game (anyway the principle thought was appearing and outlining how an advanced PC functions, as opposed to engage and mess around with it). Since it doesn't have "raster video hardware" as a presentation (a TV set, screen, and so forth.) it isn't considered by numerous individuals as a genuine "computer game" (an electronic game, yes… a computer game, no…). In any case, indeed, it truly relies upon your perspective when you talk about a "computer game".
1952: OXO ("Noughts and Crosses")
This was an advanced variant of "Tic-Tac-Toe", made for an EDSAC (Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator) PC. It was planned by Alexander S. Douglas from the University of Cambridge, and once again it was not made for diversion, it was a piece of his PhD Thesis on "Collaborations among human and PC".
The standards of the game are those of a normal Tic-Tac-Toe game, player against the PC (no 2-player choice was accessible). The information strategy was a turning dial (like the ones in old phones). The yield was appeared in a 35×16-pixel cathode-beam tube show. This game was never exceptionally mainstream in light of the fact that the EDSAC PC was just accessible at the University of Cambridge, so there was no real way to introduce it and play it anyplace else (until numerous years after the fact when an EDSAC emulator was made accessible, and at that point numerous other great computer games where accessible as well…).
1958: Tennis for Two
"Tennis for Two" was made by William Higinbotham, a physicist working at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. This game was made as a method of diversion, so research center guests had something entertaining to do during their look out for "guests day" (finally!… a computer game that was made "only for fun"…) . The game was truly intended for its time: the ball conduct was adjusted by a few components like gravity, wind speed, position and point of contact, and so on.; you needed to maintain a strategic distance from the net as in genuine tennis, and numerous different things. The computer game equipment included two "joysticks" (two controllers with a rotational handle and a press button each) associated with a simple reassure, and an oscilloscope as a presentation.

We are fortunate to be working together this year in a class with such exciting and relevant subject matter. You will have numerous opportunities to think critically about these issues and problem solve, as well as use your imagination and collaborate on life skills-rich projects. The Triangle and Triad regions, as a whole, have an abundance of resources, as well as individuals with expertise in various areas of the earth and environmental sciences.
I have been in the classroom for over two decades and have been part of the Hawbridge community since 2016 I continue to be very excited to be here! You can count on me to be fair, enthusiastic, creative and be a consistent communicator.
- regularly ask questions for clarification on instructions or content.
I will not have a class calendar within this web site, as with my previous one.
All assignments and calendar reminders will be on Google Classroom. Please feel free to sign up to your son/daughter's class or ask them to share it with you. I will post regularly updated reminders, etc. on the board in front of the entry table (across from the E.C. classroom door. Students may take a photo of the board that pertains to their class if that is a good method of reminding. Sign up for your son/daughter's class text message "REMIND" feature. I will provide the code. I will not overuse it, maybe once per week. It is likely that when a remind message is sent, it will consist of multiple texts (one after the other) as there is a limit to the number of characters per message.
There will be assessments in the form of quizzes (4-5 during a nine-week period), with one longer "test" towards the end of the grading period. The test will come with a study guide. Students may choose to retake a quiz with a low grade. The best times for that are during Bridge period (in my room) or after school. I will average the two grades. Retakes must be done within one week of the original quiz. The final test cannot be retaken and it will mostly consist of questions similar to the ones on the previous quizzes.
Each week students will submit a short report on a current event/science in the news. I developed a new template for this initiative, which gives each student choice in his/her category, source of the information and how it is to be presented. Students and parents will be given a handout that explains how it works. The weekly assignment must be submitted via Google Classroom unless the option that's chosen requires it to be hand drawn.
I try my best to keep PowerSchool updated. There are times I record assignments into PowerSchool before students begin working on them. If you see a blank on any assignment, it means it was either not graded - or not yet assigned. If you see a zero, it can mean one of a few things: the assignment was not handed in - or - the assignment was handed in without a name. (I do maintain a "no name" folder where students can search). Students will have to ask me to see this folder. The last reason for a zero is due to my error in not entering the assignment. I will always enter the points once this error is uncovered.
Students who complete an additional Eight Square current events assignment may earn extra credit. I will have a sample 3-ring binder for each class that students can use to compare with their own notebook. Many times, a grade at the end of the nine-weeks is "borderline." If a student falls into this category, he or she may submit their excellent notebook for the higher grade. The submitted notebook must contain all materials handed out, and all assignments, in order and neat.
I will always do my very best to adhere to student accommodations as listed in an IEP or 504 Plan.
If a student who does not have such accommodations has extenuating circumstances, which may lead to late or incomplete assignment, I would call a meeting with that student and his/her parent to develop a reasonable plan for completing work.
On my web page is a class supply list for students. I have also included a classroom supply "wish list" if you are able to make a donation. I am seeking several larger items (microscopes, document camera, vacuum pump and bell jar). You or someone you know may have connections to a local university or college where these items may be available due to being replaced.
I welcome parent volunteers during indoor or outdoor activities. If I am able to pinpoint a day ahead of time, I will send out an email and remind text ahead of time requesting volunteers. Please contact me if you would like to volunteer to let me know what days and times are best for you.
I am the advisor for the Earth and Sky Trail Club. Our club is open to new members who are in high school. In a nutshell, we are developing six National Park-quality signs (4x5 ft.), each with its own theme: geosphere atmosphere, hydrosphere, exosphere (space), sustainability and ecology. Our timeline for completion is two to three years from now. We will have these seven signs distributed around Saxapahaw for the public to view. The signs will include text, photographs, and illustrations done by club students. Each sign will have QR codes that will access Hawbridge student-produced and edited videos related to the theme of the sign.
We are also looking for area businesses to sponsor each sign (pay the cost) for a tax deduction. By "area" I mean businesses in Guilford, Alamance, Orange, Durham and Chatham Counties. Each sign's sponsor will have their logo and information imbedded in the sign.
1. Get any handouts for class and walk into room calmly. You are expected to be in class on time. Have a note if you are going to be late.
7. Stay in seat until dismissed - no walking around classroom. Unless instructed otherwise.
8. Follow guidelines for class outdoors. I will do the best I can to provide active outdoor experiences.
9. Expect lunch detention where you will thoughtfully complete a reflection form based on the 16 Habits of Mind. The teacher supervising lunch detention will have the form to give you.
A three-ring binder I will often have notes and diagrams (hole punched) to place in the notebook. If you are absent, I will put aside whatever was handed out for you (with your name on it) upon your return.
A composition notebook for writing short essays and reactions to videos, TED talks, demonstrations, etc. This is a small, thin notebook in which pages are NOT torn out.
Drawing supplies will come in handy for science. While I will have these materials, it is always nice to have your own. You may have a preference for the type of fine-tipped marker or pen you use. One idea that has worked well for students I've taught in the past: Put your materials in a pouch with a zipper or a small container. I can find a place to keep these in the classroom if you prefer not to carry it around with you. Include some regular pencils, ultra-fine tipped pens or markers of various colors (i.e. pilot or sharpie), colored pencils, eraser, sharpener, a small straight-edge, a small template for sketching circles, etc.
A scrapbook is optional. If you are the artist type and would like to have a nice keepsake at the end of the year, consider keeping a scrapbook of your work.


Incredible grouping of F. Scott Fitzgerald original prose, written for Helen Hayes' daughter Mary MacArthur, who died of polio at the young age of 19. Here, the already famous author pens two lyrical poems, dated 1931 and 1937, in addition to inscribing a first edition of his final novel ''Tender is the Night''. At the time he writes the first poem, Fitzgerald was actually completing ''Tender is the Night'' while caring for his ailing wife, Zelda, whose mental illness had left her hospitalized in 1930. Fitzgerald handwrites the first, shorter poem in green ink. Inscribed ''For Mary MacArthur'', it reads in full: '''Oh Papa -- My Papa -- / Say Papa' / So! / 'Is Papa / Your Papa / My Papa?' / No! / So Spoke You / Why Joke You? Just For To-day / Our Word Is / (Like Birdie's) / Plenty To Say''. Signed, ''F. Scott Fitzgerald / Feb. 13th 1931''. The second, lengthier poem appears on the verso of the same sheet, titled, ''Addenda (seven years later)''. Reads in full, ''What shall I do with this bundle of stuff / Mass of ingredients, handful of grist / Tenderest evidence, thumb-print of lust / Kindly advise me, O psychologist / She shall have music -- we pray for the kiss / of the god's on her forehead, the necking of fate / How in the hell shall we guide her to this / '- Just name her Mary and age her till eight.' / What of the books? Do we feed her our bread / of the dead, that was left in their tombs long ago / Or should all the fervor and freshness be wed / To next year's inventions? Can anyone know? / How shall we give her that je ne sais quoi - / Portions of mama that seem to be right / Salted with dashes of questionable pa? / '- Age her till eight and then save me a bite.' / Solve me this dither, O wisest of lamas, / Pediatrician - beneficent buddy / Tell me the name of a madhouse for mammas / Or give me the nursery - let her have the study / How can I pay back this heavenly loan / Answer my question and name your own fee / Plan me a mixture of Eve and St. Joan / '- Put her in pigtails and give her to me.''' Signed, ''F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nyack 1937''. Sheet measures 7'' x 8'' with poem to front and longer prose poem to verso. Lastly, lot includes a signed first edition, first printing of ''Tender is the Night'' featuring Fitzgerald's autograph inscription to actress Helen Hayes. Charles Scribner's Sons: New York: 1934. Upon the front free endpaper, Fitzgerald lists the name of Hayes' husband ''Charlie'', her name ''Helen'', and signs simply, ''Scott''. Opposite he inscribes the front pastedown ''Nyack N.Y. / Mr. Charlie MacArthur / Miss Helen Hayes''. Bound in hunter green cloth boards, book measures 5.5'' x 7.5''. Light soiling to front board and toning to leaves, else near fine. From the estate of Helen Hayes. An extraordinary collection, adding to the catalogue raisonne of Fitzgerald's known works.


Have you ever tried Googling yourself or someone? What do you get? Well you may see several names which may identify the person you're looking for especially if that person happens to have a strong social media presence synced with Google. As for yourself, if your Google accounts are synced with your phone, then at the most you will be able to visit your Google Timeline to find out your each and every move is being tracked by Google. But that can be controlled by you and can also be disabled so it isn't a big deal really and can be helpful at times.
But!! Here's the real deal. This website makes Google look lame in comparison where tracking records are concerned. The reference to this website was found on freethoughtproject.com and we thought you should know about it. It is a shocker where deep searches abut someone's identity is concerned. It can reveal almost every detail about you down to records of your parking tickets. It reveals shocking facts about you and you can use it to find lost family or even if your boyfriend or the guy you've been dating has a criminal record. It's as deadly as that.
It's called "Instant Checkmate" and the link to it is given later in this article. It contains records of millions of public available criminal, traffic, arrests and personal online records that can be searched by almost everyone. It applies only to the United States though, so someone living in another country could get access to a person living in the states but not about him or herself.
Members of Instant checkmate can acquire personal records within seconds. In case you don't know, then if you are an American, the government most probably has a documented file on you even from your school days. Such records contain highly sensitive information about you like your address, relatives, associates, arrest records, speeding tickets and your spouse. All this information is considered "Public record" by the government and that's why it's available regardless of how sensitive it is.
Earlier if you wanted to check a record or find family, you would have to go to a county office or the courthouse and request the information. Such a procedure takes days and weeks. But with Instant Checkmate, the information is at your fingertips. All it takes is a couple of clicks of the mouse.
You could even find out if your spouse or family member has been chalking up traffic violations or some personal information on the unknown new guy you've been dating whether he has a criminal record or not. The biggest advantage of Instant Checkmate is that it reveals all general background information like previous addresses, phone numbers, birthdates, licenses, court records and even satellite imagery of a given address. It's scary and creepy really but this is what technology brings. If it's online, it's available and accessible. Regardless of how foolproof records may be ultimately there will be a website like Instant checkmate granting access to such stuff.
Although scary about the information on you being made available to others, there is a lot of advantages too. The website will reveal Child abuse offenders, women molesters and the like.
Your relatives and associates and close friends (including boyfriends, girlfriends, and anyone tied to you can appear on the list.
The site also reveals your phone number so basically it would be impossible for anyone trying to hide from you if you use this list. This is worrisome no doubt knowing that so much of your personal records are actually public. Go here to Instant Checkmate to see how exposed you are.
This gets even creepier. This is just the tip of the iceberg because this website also searches the deep web to find out your online activity. It can locate your profiles on social media and even find profiles you may have made on dating sites. Well! If imagine a girl can even locate what her boyfriend has been upto if he has been visiting dating sites for some extra action hehe!! This reveals user names, photos and videos all in seconds.
You may even find old data of past activity on the internet you have forgotten about. There may be some nerdy photos from high school or something revealing too you never know. You could find if someone has tagged you in a photograph without your knowledge. It's a great way of seeing that's there about you so you can protect your online reputation and get rid of some stuff.
Forget about your speeding tickets those petty things that you'll find online. You'll find all those traffic violations that you or even your family members have raked up. But that means someone else doing a check on you will also get access to that information. If you want to find out if someone has a criminal record, just do the search using his name, city and state that's all. Every criminal record right down to a jaywalking offense will be visible on Instant Checkmate. From DUI's to misdemeanors and felonies, northing is secret. It is there for anyone wanting to poke their nose in your records. But then you too can do the same especially if you suspect someone of having a criminal record.
Professional licenses issued by the government like DEA and FAA licenses may be part of a background report as well. By all this you can well imagine how much of every individual's personal information is available online. When you know what lies in your background reports, you have the opportunity to protect yourself online as such a website revealing all is scary and something huge.

Environmental Impact: Categorical Exclusion The NRC has determined that this final rule is the type of action described in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(2), which categorically excludes from environmental review rules that are corrective or of a minor, nonpolicy nature and do not substantially modify existing regulations. Therefore, neither an environmental impact statement nor an environmental assessment has been prepared for this rule. V. Paperwork Reduction Act This final rule does not contain a collection of information as defined in the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and, therefore, VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:02 Jun 27, 2018 Jkt 244001 is not subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. Public Protection Notification The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless the document requesting or requiring the collection displays a currently valid OMB control number. VI. Plain Writing The Plain Writing Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–274) requires Federal agencies to write documents in a clear, concise, and well-organized manner. The NRC has written this document to be consistent with the Plain Writing Act as well as the Presidential Memorandum, ''Plain Language in Government Writing,'' published June 10, 1998 (63 FR 31883). VII. Backfitting and Issue Finality The NRC has determined that the corrections in this final rule do not constitute backfitting and are not inconsistent with any of the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. The amendments are non-substantive in nature; they update branch, division, and office titles; update descriptions of agency organization and functions; correct cross-reference, typographical, and grammatical errors; and add a certification recipient and clarifying language. They impose no new requirements and make no substantive changes to the regulations. The corrections do not involve any provisions that would impose backfits as defined in 10 CFR chapter I, or would be inconsistent with the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. For these reasons, the issuance of the rule in final form would not constitute backfitting or represent a violation of any of the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52.

sentence.
III. Rulemaking Procedure
Under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)), an agency
may waive publication in the Federal Register of a notice of proposed
rulemaking and opportunity for comment requirements if it finds, for
good cause, that it is impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the
public interest. As authorized by 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), the NRC finds
good cause to waive notice and opportunity for comment on these
amendments, because notice and opportunity for comment is unnecessary.
The amendments will have no substantive impact and are of a minor and
administrative nature dealing with corrections to certain CFR sections
or are related only to agency management, organization, procedure, and
practice. Specifically, the revisions update branch, division, and
office titles; update descriptions of agency organization and
errors; and add a certification recipient and clarifying language. The
Commission is exercising its authority under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) to
publish these amendments as a final rule. The amendments are effective
July 30, 2018. These amendments do not require action by any person or
entity regulated by the NRC, and do not change the substantive
responsibilities of any person or entity regulated by the NRC.
IV. Environmental Impact: Categorical Exclusion
The NRC has determined that this final rule is the type of action
described in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(2), which categorically excludes from
environmental review rules that are corrective or of a minor, nonpolicy
nature and do not substantially modify existing regulations. Therefore,
neither an environmental impact statement nor an environmental
assessment has been prepared for this rule.
V. Paperwork Reduction Act
This final rule does not contain a collection of information as
defined in the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)
and, therefore, is not subject to the requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.
Public Protection Notification
The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless the document requesting
or requiring the collection displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
VI. Plain Writing
The Plain Writing Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-274) requires Federal
agencies to write documents in a clear, concise, and well-organized
manner. The NRC has written this document to be consistent with the
Plain Writing Act as well as the Presidential Memorandum, ``Plain
Language in Government Writing,'' published June 10, 1998 (63 FR
31883).
VII. Backfitting and Issue Finality
The NRC has determined that the corrections in this final rule do
not constitute backfitting and are not inconsistent with any of the
issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. The amendments are non-
substantive in nature; they update branch, division, and office titles;
update descriptions of agency organization and functions; correct
cross-reference, typographical, and grammatical errors; and add a
certification recipient and clarifying language. They impose no new
requirements and make no substantive changes to the regulations. The
corrections do not involve any provisions that would impose backfits as
defined in 10 CFR chapter I, or would be inconsistent with the issue
finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. For these reasons, the issuance
of the rule in final form would not constitute backfitting or represent
a violation of any of the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52.
Therefore, the NRC has not prepared any additional documentation for
this administrative rulemaking addressing backfitting or issue
VIII. Congressional Review Act
This final rule is not a rule as defined in the Congressional
Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801-808).

AMERICAN drama film Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter comes to the screen tonight at Bahrain Cinema Club.
She becomes obsessed with a mysterious, battered VHS tape of a popular film she has mistaken for a documentary, fixating on a scene where a suitcase of stolen cash is buried in the desolate, frozen landscape of North Dakota.
Believing this treasure to be real, she leaves behind Tokyo to recover it and finds herself on a dangerous adventure unlike anything she has seen in the movies.
Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter, was nominated for the Grand Jury Award at Sundance Film Festival and will be screened tonight from 7pm.


One summer a couple of years ago, I started bringing bread and butter to the beach along with any cooked vegetables that were left over from dinner the night before. And that, my friends, is how I ended up sticking green beans into a sandwich for the first time. It would not be the last.
Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Put green beans in a shallow bowl or pie plate and pour hot water over them to cover. Let sit 5 minutes to soften, then drain and pat dry. Season with salt.
Split baguette lengthwise. Spread butter on both cut sides and season with salt. Spread mustard on one side and horseradish on the other. Drape ham onto bottom half, top with beans, then cheese. Firmly press sandwich closed before cutting crosswise.
Thank you so much, Carla! Your new cookbook is beautiful.
More recipes, including grilled cheese salad (!) and caramelized onion focaccia.
Yes, but who wrote this post? Which person on the COJ team has such strong opinions on the glory of eating outside? Help us know you!
such an interesting way to make green beans. I will try it.
Oooft, will definitely be recreating these for my partner's birthday picnic next week. Early in the relationship she literally said me 'I find it so inconvenient how you have to eat regularly, it gets in the way of doing so many more interesting things!' but over the years has developed a soft spot for watching my joy in trying new recipes/techniques/flavour combinations. Only change I'll make here is to use salted butter and to not salt the beans as I'm a friend for salted butter and can't stand the insulated stuff, even heavily disguised under lots of lovely mustard and horse radish.
I've been doing Intermittent and Extended Fasting and its amazing how much time is saved and can be spent on more important things now. so I kinda agree with your partner.
Love Carla… and all the gang at Bon Appetit. Did you see their April Fools video? Awesome!
One of the vendors at our local market makes a delicious baguette sandwich- butter, tuna, sliced hard boiled eggs, olives, tomato, lettuce, and I think some Dijon… it is so good! I think it is the buttered baguette that really makes it.
Yes!!!! It's the butter. The grocer by our old office had buttered baguettes a cheese and it was amazing. Just butter plus cheese = perfection.
When I stayed in Germany for several months our Aunt would send us to school with buttered (unsalted) bread (fresh she got every morning from the baker) with bars of chocolate. I thought it was oh so weird and would always trade with the german students for their bread with butter and salami. but I can still taste it and love it as an adult. prefer salted though. funnily enough my son, age 11, does not like butter. plain toast. won't eat pancakes with it. so odd….
wait… in the US, do you not butter the bread for sandwiches!?! Here in the UK we put butter on all sandwiches… it would make me so sad not to have it!
my favorite summer lunch! I actually love it with good EVOO plus herbs like parsley and basil plus garlic.
Yum! I've always been a pickle lover and I just realized that cucumbers are maybe the least flavorful vegetable pickled. I've started putting pretty much any pickled vegetable on my sandwiches (green beans included, obv). Pickled carrots and radishes have been the stand outs!
This is the most genius way to cook green beans I have ever heard.
I think I would splash some vinegar on those hot green beans first before sticking them in a sammich. . .
COOKED. GREEN. BEANS. in a sandwich already got my attention (I really can't even imagine how this'll taste but am curious to try!) but the comments have got me more shook up – do most people not butter their sandwiches anyway??!
I know, right?! I'm reading these thinking – why are these savages not buttering their sandwiches?!?!
Right? I am in England and have never heard of NOT buttering a sandwich! Do Americans just put the ingredients straight on to dry bread?
Yes!!!! My English family puts butter on all sandwiches but in America you'd do mustard or mayo — rarely butter especially if you're also doing cheese or peanut butter etc.
Phew, glad it wasn't just me agog at that! British here too, but have American relatives (who I will now never look at the same way again). Even if I've added mustard/horseradish to the bread the butter still goes on! But I definitely don't butter my PB sandwiches, though my (English) partner does – eughhh.
Also: went and bought green beans today, just so I can make this recipe for lunch tomorrow!
I just made this for lunch with Gjusta bread and OMG mind blown! the simplicity!
I got so excited to see Carla Lalli Music featured on Cup of Jo! I am such a fan of all the BA test kitchen peeps from Youtube!
Butter on a sandwich reminds me of my grandmother. I have sometimes buttered my sandwiches but it never tastes quite the same as when my grandmother did it.
Grill up with lots of butter, grilled cheese style, but use two slices of cheese and stuff in a few chips in between.
It's weird but so so good!
The origin of this cleverness: leftover chips from making a cheater Spanish tortilla. Six eggs, 1/3 a bag of chips, salt, fry up in skillet in olive oil, flip, and voila, a super delicious Spanish tortilla in no time! I serve with slices of salted tomato and some cheese and sourdough.
You can get an amazing cheese slicer at ikea that is made in Sweden so comproble to a fancy Scandinavian one for under $10. It makes perfect thin slices of cheese.
That's going on my next-trip-to-Ikea shopping list Kitty! Thank you!
Looks delicious, butter and green beans on a sandwich? Yes please. But oh to be eating it on the beach… why does everything always taste better when eaten at the beach?
I would love to make this (counting down the days to picnic season here in Boston) but def have reservations about the green beans— not for the taste, but for the size. One of my pet peeves is when you bite into a sandwich and all the little bits fall out! Maybe I am just a Bad Sandwich Eater, but I feel like I'm constantly shoving shredded lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, or julienned carrots into rough sandwich pockets or meat folds, trying to prevent the inevitable from happening: biting down too hard with firm bread and everything (covered in spread, naturally) exploding out the back of the sandwich and into my lap.
For the same reasons that you list I would chop up the green beans into bite sized pieces.
Boston? Have you tried the sandwiches at Darwin's in Cambridge?! SO GOOD and worth the trip if you happen to be hungry – or like sandwiches!
Hiiii fellow (recent) Bostonian here — I've never heard of Darwin's! Will be checking them out shortly once the weather is actually warm enough to merit eating outside (sigh).
Yes yes yes to Chacareros in Boston!
I love unexpected things on sandwiches. One time I had leftover roasted vegetables and added them to a turkey sandwich. It was delicious.
Looks delicious! and what a good idea!
I guess it might also work to mince up other cooked vegetables and use those in this way as well…leftover broccoli or Brussel sprouts maybe?
This alone will change my life! I never thought of that for getting those perfect cheese shavings!
I am here for the addition of butter to this sandwich recipe. I will be trying this soon!
Haha agreed! I almost always love a good chewy baguette, but not for sandwiches!!
I agree but a softer bread would still work. Maybe ciabatta? Yum!
I love baguette sandwiches, but always eat them open face for just this reason.

as told by his mom, Sarah.
At the end of 2014, we'd noticed that our usually energetic seven-year-old son was not himself. He was more tired than usual and had some random episodes of vomiting. This was dismissed as reflux.
It was not until he started to have visual disturbances and headaches that my "mom gut" told me something was very wrong. I felt he had a brain tumour, but no one believed me. I was sent away from the ER twice, told he was a normal healthy seven-year-old and to see an eye doctor if his eyes continued to bother him. It was the optometrist who saw the swelling on my son's optic nerve and sent us to ER with documents in hand for an immediate CT scan.
After his scan was done, our worst fears were confirmed; we were told "your son has a very large brain tumour on his frontal lobe".
Things happened very quickly after that and he was taken into surgery that night.
It was a very long night as we waited for his seven-hour surgery to be finished.
The surgeon told us his tumour was the size of a large apple and it was hard to tell if she got it all. We would have to wait for the pathology report to tell us what kind of tumour it was. His tumour was difficult to figure out and, after a long month of waiting, we were told it was cancer and we were given a diagnosis of a "CNS Ewing's sarcoma".
Nick was started on a very intense chemotherapy protocol during which he spent more time in the hospital than out. One month into chemo, they did another MRI that showed a small tumour was there.
On June 8, 2015, Nick had his second brain surgery.
The pathology of his tumour was a source of great debate amongst a number of pathologists at different centres as it never quite fit the original diagnosis. We stopped the first protocol and started down a different path based on a new diagnosis of a "PNET", but, again, his tumour did not quite fit the profile of that diagnosis either.
Four doses into cranial spinal radiation, we got the call that a new diagnosis had been agreed upon amongst the pathologists and, once again, his treatment protocol would be changed. He now was diagnosed with an "anaplastic supratentorial ependymoma". Chemo was stopped and 33 doses of focal radiation continued.
During radiation a review of his scans was done by the tumour board and it was determined that there was still one cm of tumour left behind from the very first surgery. If it was still there at the end of radiation, he would need another surgery.
It was so on October 13, 2015, we were off to Sick Kids in Toronto for his third brain surgery.
The surgeon said he got it all! Nick was finally tumour-free!
It has been a long road but, as of right now, Nick is 15 months post treatment and cancer free! He is doing great at school and back playing soccer and hockey. We are not out of the woods yet and he is monitored every three months for recurrence.
We have learned to not take anything for granted and make the most of every day!
Renee from Childcan was in touch with me within days of receiving his initial diagnosis. She provided us with a parking pass, meal tickets during each admission and, most importantly, emotional support which we did not get from anywhere else.
I remember one of the first things Renee told me was to "start everyday with hope". This got me through some of the toughest days and continues to my motto. We will never give up hope!
