Louisiana's favorite one-pot dish varies some from cook to cook, but the main distinction lies between the Cajun and Creole preperations. In New Orleans and the surrounding regions, Creole cooks make a âredâ jambalaya that starts with meat and the âtrinityâ of onion, celery, and bell pepper. Seafood and tomatoes are then added, followed by equal portions of rice and stock. In the Louisiana bayous, where tomatoes were likely once very hard to come by, the jambalaya of Cajun origin begins with smoked meat browned in a cast-iron pot, providing this variation with its distinctive flavor and earthy hue.
How often should a mechanical watch be serviced? A common question for a watch dealer or watchmaker is, âHow often should a mechanical watch be serviced?â I asked multiple watchmakers and they generally went along with the watch industry recommendations. Most manufacturers recommend having a watch serviced every five years.
Wear the watch normally throughout the day. Normal, everyday motion of the wrist will activate the winding of the mainspring to wind the watch. Continue to wear the watch during everyday use to maintain the self-winding feature of the watch. Remove the watch from the wrist and store in a safe, clean place when not in use. When the watch is not worn or moved, the winding mechanism will disengage.
