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.
In general, an average watch wearer's motion is enough to power an automatic watch for 2-3 times as many hours as it is actively worn. If you wear your automatic watch at least 10-12 active hours 7 days a week, you should maintain 50% (about 20 hours) of power reserve by the end of the day when you take it off. It does not hurt an automatic watch to manually wind it every once in a while to make sure its power reserve is 'topped off.'.
