Need More Heat? I made my sauce with a little kick, but it's not too overpowering. After removing the obvious preservative ingredients, I experimented with different proportions and ended up with a spicy ranch sauce that's super delicious and really close to the original! My sauce includes: Spicy Ranch Sauce - Soybean oil, buttermilk, water, vinegar, cage-free egg yolk, sour cream, sugar, contains 1% or less of salt, garlic powder, onion powder, dried red & habanero peppers, spice, potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate (P), glucono delta lactone, xanthan gum, natural flavor, lactic acid, propylene glycol alginate, calcium disodium EDTA (PF).

The actual ingredients and method used to season Taco Bell's taco meat is, obviously, a protected secret within the company.

Load up more cheese for an extra cheesy gordita crunch! How To Make Taco Bell's Seasoned Ground Beef Though Taco Bell's version uses a flatbread for the outer layer, I've used a soft taco size flour tortilla for simplicity. It's soft, crunchy, cheesy, and there's plenty of spice highlighted in both the beef and the spicy ranch sauce. The result is a delicious mish-mash of textures and flavors. Shredded lettuce and shredded cheddar cheese finishes everything off. Inside, there's a layer of seasoned beef and spicy ranch sauce. The Cheesy Gordita Crunch is Taco Bell's fresh take on a taco that wraps a warm flatbread around a hard taco shell, using melted Mexican cheese as the glue to hold it all together.

We all know and love the Cheesy Gordita Crunch. ![]() ![]() He connected with a hip young audience somewhat starved for flavour in the oh-so-slick ‘80s mainstream movie culture and gained cultish fervour with the next three films he made – Beetlejuice (1987), Batman (1989), and Edward Scissorhands (1990). He was a director capable of balancing commercial imperatives with a strong personal inflection sourced in a passion for retro 1950s and ‘60s kitsch culture, old horror movies and other disreputable genres, eccentric and often mean humour, and stories sporting losers, freaks, and outsiders recast as heroes. It was a hit, and Burton scarcely looked back.īurton’s initial success was rooted in a projection of a singular identity. ![]() Disney fired Burton for wasting company resources on something too scary for kids, but screenings of the short attracted the attention of comedian Paul Rubens, who, looking to play his popular comedy character Pee-wee Herman in a movie, hired Burton to direct Pee-wee’s Big Adventure (1985). Then he made Frankenweenie (1984), another stop-motion work about a junior mad scientist who revives his dog, killed by being run over by a car. Shortly after, he made a live-action version of Hansel and Gretel with a Japonaise style, sporting a kung fu fight between the titular duo and the witch, an early example of Burton’s habit of mischievously remixing various genres: that work screened once on the Disney Channel and was barely sighted again. One of these was the six-minute stop-motion animation Vincent (1983), depicting a young boy who fantasizes about being his hero Vincent Price, winning Burton his first burst of attention. For a time he worked at Disney Studios in various artistic capacities and making short films on the side. Burton started making short films with an 18mm camera as a child, displayed aptitude as an artist, and studied animation after leaving school. Tim Burton, born in Burbank, California in 1958, is another curious American artist of the fanciful and student of the arcane and eerie. Crane moves to Sleepy Hollow and becomes involved with a local girl, only to encounter the ghost of a Hessian mercenary soldier decapitated in battle but still terrorising the local byways. Irving connected several elements of local lore for ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,’ including the history of the locale during the Revolutionary War, as he created the story of the timorous schoolmaster Ichabod Crane. ![]() His two most famous stories were both first published in a collection entitled The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. During that sojourn Irving first encountered Sleepy Hollow, a small town founded by Dutch settlers. The roots of Irving’s most famous labours went back to his teenaged years, when a yellow fever epidemic caused his parents to send him to live with a friend in upstate New York. Amongst Irving’s random, still-resonating achievements ranked coining the phrase “the almighty dollar” and the nickname “Gotham” for New York, publishing the Francis Scott Key poem that became ‘The Star-Spangled Banner,’ popularising the false notion medieval Europeans thought the world was flat before Columbus, and having one of his pen names inspire the name of the New York Knicks. Born in New York in the early years of the republic, Irving, after struggling as a merchant, found success in his twenties as a writer, journalist, and editor, and later pursued a career as a diplomat, serving for a time as ambassador to Spain. Screenwriters: Andrew Kevin Walker, Kevin YagherĪlongside his own ‘Rip Van Winkle,’ Washington Irving’s story ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’ is probably the best-known work of American literature from before the time of Poe and James Fenimore Cooper. ![]() ![]() ![]() Not many films make the audience care enough about relationships and circumstances, but this brilliant movie not only gets the audience committed to their plight, but also feels the full range of emotions. Both Caine and Walters give amazingly touching performances, and throughout I felt myself urging them to each other, only to know deep down that the age gap is just too much. With one thing gained, many other things are lost, and with Frank's increasing drinking problem because of Rita's character change, the two are headed for disaster. Educating Rita is funny, expressive, sentimental, poignant and sad, as Frank must come to terms with the young bird fleeing the nest, whilst Rita begins to realize what she is becoming. However, Rita's return with a change of character surprises Frank, and soon they drift away from their zany, affectionate meetings. As their relationship blossoms and Rita starts to find herself, she becomes increasingly drawn to the student way of life, and when Franks life is enriched because of her presence and her willingness to learn he sends her to a summer camp, to be educated at a greater level. But Rita is new and fresh, initially Rita doesn't possess the skills required to write analytical essays but she is different, she is vibrant, she is funny and she is unbelievably up front. He is jaded, he is tired of the same lecture routines, and he cannot understand why these students want to discuss the finer points of Blake. On top of this he has hit the bottle and can only get through the day of teaching the young toffs, with a blend of his lecturing skills and the drink. Frank Bryant's marriage has gone down the pan, and his current girlfriend is playing away. Frank is assigned to tutor her, and from the start their personalities resonate the human touch. Frank Bryant (Michael Caine) to not only improve her lexicon, but to improve her image she begins a journey of blood and tears. Her common touch and wonderful idiosyncrasies bring a breath of fresh air to snotty high class life, but when she goes to Dr. Not only is this an un-needed pressure, but her father is plaguing her about when she is going to have children, but all Rita wants to do is find herself and take up something new. Maybe that's what happens when you start with an idealistic, challenging idea, and then cynically try to broaden its appeal.People who have experienced the mid-life crisis will be at home with this movie, as 26 year old hairdresser, Rita (Julie Walters), is pressurised into settling down with boyfriend Denny. When Caine's professor, at the end of this movie, flies off to Australia to maybe sober up and maybe make a fresh start, it's a total cop-out - not by him, but by the screenplay. They're made to deliver speeches, take positions and make decisions that are required by the plot, not by their own inner promptings. There is a real character there, just as there was in Caine's boozy diplomat in the recent flop " Beyond the Limit." In both movies, though, the characters are not well-served by the story. To the degree that "Educating Rita" does work, the credit goes to Michael Caine, who plays a man weary and kind, funny and self-hating. Russell's movie rewrite has added mistresses, colleagues, husbands, in-laws, students and a faculty committee, all unnecessary. ![]() ![]() They were on the stage together for a long time, and by the end of the play we had shared in their developing relationship. The original "Educating Rita," a long-running London stage hit by Willy Russell, had only the two characters. Because even the movie doesn't really believe that, it departs from the stage play to bring in a lot of phony distractions. The books are like incantations that, used properly, will exorcise Cockney accents and alcoholism. There is a lot of talk about Blake this and Wordsworth that. They pass the books back and forth a lot. The idea of the curmudgeon and the Cockney was not new when Bernard Shaw wrote "Pygmalion," and it is not any newer in "Educating Rita." But it could have been entertaining, if only I'd believed they were reading those books. She sees him as a man who ought to sober up and return to his first love, writing poems. Caine sees Walters as a fresh, honest, unspoiled intelligence. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say they both fall into love with the remake job they'd like to do on each other. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Renting a minivan means turning your living space mobile for the next few hours.

Sugars, dyes, stabilizers, animal products, and so many other things can be added that don’t legally have to be listed on the label.

If you are one of the people who enjoys working from home and you are now wondering how you can do this yourself on a more permanent basis and not just while Covid 19 impacts us, then you have come to the right place. Yes the office remains “open” but is anyone actually going to the office? No. This belief has now largely been shattered as some companies (such as mine) have been forced to work from home for the past 9 or so months of 2020. If someone had to work from home pre-covid, it was generally accepted that they wouldn’t be working as hard as if they were in the office. Previously if your work place was similar to mine there was an office belief that working from home was equivalent to not doing any work. This has resulted in some big changes in office culture since the start of the year. Why maintain expensive offices when that money could be reinvested back into the business and encourage employees to work from home? Change and evolution to “Office everywhere” It seems likely that most office based companies would now start to question the reasoning behind maintaining their larger offices in expensive city centre locations. You need to provide electricity, heating, water and staff for an office, whereas if you have a website you only have to consider minimal costs to start with and you can control the amount of investment that you put into the shop.Ĭertain companies such as ASOS, Boohoo and other fashion led companies have invested a lot into become an online only destinations with relative success. The reasons for this are that is simply very expensive to set up shop. So I think it is fair to say that this is the tipping point and businesses will start to invest more in online and having a website rather than maintaining a city centre shop presence. For tech companies it is an easier decision to make, but for retail companies shutting down a city centre store will make a lot of people redundant and there is no guarantee that by setting up an online store that customers will migrate to the online destination. The answer to this question really depends on what industry you are working in. Not necessarily, but for some sectors it will become increasingly more normal. Is working from home the inevitable future of work now? The ramifications of this are fairly clear with some tech companies declaring that they will from now on be “Remote only” companies, meaning that they can employ anyone from around the world and that they will be downsizing their offices in city centres. The 2020 pandemic has forced us to adapt our ways and has changed the working world for the majority of this year and probably next year as well. In the UK we have even seen MPs (Members of Parliament) working from home asking questions through video chat, something which I never thought I would ever see. Since March 2020 working from home become normalised with a lot of office workers being forced to stay at home due to the global pandemic. The gradual normalisation of working from Home ![]() This was a big shock to the system for most companies in the UK. In early 2020 it became apparent that suddenly people from all backgrounds were forced into a position where they had to (if they could) work from home. In 2019 the concept of working from home just one or two days a week was one that tech industry professionals and a few other (mainly hipster!) industries were gradually migrating to as it offered more flexibility in their work/life balance.

![]() ![]() “Right Above It” came at a specific moment in time in Wayne’s career: his unopposed run as the king of rapdom was drawing to a close, and he was about to start his infamous imprisonment at Riker’s Island. The sentiment of the song applied to Wayne quite literally, and “Feed me rappers or feed me beats” would be the mantra of his career-defining run. On 2004’s Tha Carter, Wayne already had a backstory that was making him a legend.Ĭlick to load video 9: We Takin’ Over (DJ Khaled, featuring Akon, TI, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Birdman and Fat Joe)Īnother DJ Khaled song ranks higher than this one, but the original “We Takin’ Over,” and Wayne’s subsequent freestyle over the instrumental, was indisputable proof that, when he said he was the best, he was right. It was also an early sign of the power of Wayne’s elastic voice, which could bounce from a shrill croak to a brash rasp in an instant. It’s Lil Wayne at a young age, honestly and candidly addressing his falling-out with former labelmates – and he’s still on the label. “I Miss My Dawgs” is a poignant song for many reasons. His inflection makes it one of his most existential-feeling hooks too. He reminds you that he can still kill a hook with his flow, and it’s so slick here that it’s easy to miss just how good his wordplay is. The album hits the ground running, wiping away any doubt after years of delay, but by the time you get to “Problems,” it’s evident that Wayne is still among the best. Halfway through Tha Carter V, it becomes clear that the wait was worth it. “Nightmares” has a beat that makes it feel like something Wayne could have recorded years earlier, and being sandwiched between C4’s official singles makes it feel even more standout. Wayne had spent the past few years cultivating this rockstar persona, and now, fresh out of Rikers, he was debuting a new song on an MTV Unplugged session. It was never an official single, but “Nightmares of the Bottom” is one of the songs that made Tha Carter IV what it was. What more could you ask for? Dedication 2 was one of the mixtapes that propelled Wayne to new heights between Tha Carter IV and Tha Carter III, and closing it out with this song is one of the most show-stopping moments of Lil Wayne’s career. The bars are scathing and the hook is a slam dunk. It’s almost like one of those times a comedian gives an amazing performance in a dramatic role. “Georgia… Bush” is unique among Lil Wayne’s catalog, but there are few songs like it in rap, period. Maybe the most famous instance was “30 Minutes to New Orleans.” It first reared its head in a documentary called The Carter, with Wayne rapping it on a tour bus, but we wouldn’t get a full version for what felt like years. Would we get full versions of the songs? Mixed and mastered versions? For most of these, the answer was no. The leaks got him a buzz like no one had ever had. In 20, you could get on DatPiff, SOHH, or wherever, and there’d be new Wayne music. To his diehard fans, Lil Wayne’s ascent was defined by delays and leaks. “Drop the World” was the first (and maybe best) of the three songs the MCs would appear on together over the course of the next year.Ĭlick to load video 24: 30 Minutes to New Orleans They’d never done so before - two of the only titans who hadn’t – and the result was an instant classic. So when Em was back on the scene in 2009, people wondered when the two guys might collaborate. Wayne’s ascent to the top began shortly after Eminem’s struggle with drug addiction got real. It’s the stand-out track on Rebirth, and not just because it’s one of the most verse-heavy cuts. ![]() Like most of Weezy’s output, “Drop the World” was legendary before it even came out. Listen to the best Lil Wayne songs on Apple Music and Spotify. After all, it’s Wayne’s world, we’re just living in it. During the mid-00s, you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing his free-flow, and now we’re counting down the Top 20 Lil Wayne songs. As these best Lil Wayne songs show, his influence on hip-hop culture is immeasurable. Nowadays, he stands as one of the best-selling artists of all time. Lil Wayne has decades in the game, after rising to prominence in the Hot Boys, with Juvenile, B.G., and Turk on the Cash Money label. Since proclaiming himself the “best rapper alive” on his 2005 album Tha Carter II, New Orleans MC Lil Wayne has been living up to the title. ![]() |
