Plan your home, improve your relationships, and achieve career success with this easy to follow Feng Shui Guide.

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice of placement and arrangement objects in space to achieve harmony with the environment. The practice is estimated to be more than 3,000 years old. Feng Shui literally means "wind and water" in Chinese. Feng Shui is based on the premise that people, places and things have energy. Positive energy is called chi and negative energy is called sha.

According to an ancient Chinese teaching every person is born with four favorable and four harmful directions. To fulfill his/her potential a person should utilize the auspicious directions and avoid "unlucky" ones. Each of the auspicious directions attracts a slightly different kind of good fortune. For example sleeping in your SHENG CHI direction will bring you money and career luck. It is also the direction that you should face when negotiating or giving an important presentation. If you want to get married or conceive a child you should focus on your NIEN YEN direction. Your auspicious direction can be calculated based on your gender and the year you were born. This software uses the Eight Mansions formula to identify your auspicious directions and explain the meaning of each direction.

Audience

Intended for everyone interested in Feng Shui.

Sous Vide (v. 1.0)

Primolicious LLC опубликовал приложение 2011-05-14
(обновлено 2011-05-14)

When it comes to sous vide cooking, the most difficult thing to figure out is the time and temperature range to use for various foods. We have compiled a list of times and temperatures you can use as a reference guide for your cooking. We even give you a place to save your own notes as you try them out.

We offer over 400 sous vide time and temperature combinations across 175 cuts of meat and types of fish and vegetables. Conveniently broken up into 10 main categories for ease of use:
- Beef Roasts and Tough Cuts
- Beef Steaks and Tender Cuts
- Pork
- Chicken
- Duck
- Fish
- Shellfish
- Lamb
- Turkey
- Fruits and Vegetables

Each of these main categories has a lengthy description of how sous vide relates to that type of food and discusses both the time and temperature guidelines and the general process for cooking it. We then list the cuts of meat or types of food in that category and provide a short description of each item and one or more recommended time and temperature combinations.

Also included is a brief introduction to sous vide, a discussion of sous vide safety, links to more sous vide resources, and an overview of how to substitute sous vide food into your favorite traditional recipes.

While there are no recipes in this app, the best part about sous vide is how interchangeable it is with existing recipes. You can take many traditional recipes and follow them to the letter with the only exception being to replace the cooking of the meat with sous vide instead of baking, braising, pan-frying, sauteing, etc.

Take your favorite chili recipe and use turkey, beef, or chicken that was cooked sous vide. Make fajitas and instead of grilling the meat try cooking it sous vide. Sausage for pasta, roasted rack of lamb, steak for salad, fried chicken, and corned beef can all be cooked sous vide while keeping the same marinades, sauces, and sides as the traditional recipes call for.

We hope you'll use this guide as a starting point to explore sous vide cooking more on your own!
