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.
A general rule of thumb is that a freshly serviced watch should be good for five to seven years, depending on... well, a lot of things, including the watch, the owner and the last person to work on it. If your Speedmasterâs new, it may need a service on the nearer end of the scale depending on how long it was sitting idle at the stockist. If vintage/pre-owned and you donât know the service history for sure â and I mean for sure â itâs best to assume youâll need a service sooner rather than later.
