Definitely a pasta night!

Here in Maryland today, Mother Nature taught us that winter isn't over until winter is over. Currently, temperatures are hovering around 20 degrees and with the high winds, it feels like single digits. And on top of that, we have several inches of snow on the ground and the roads are very icy. Therefore, a stick-to-your-ribs dinner was definitely in order so I made Lemon Garlic Crispy Shrimp Pasta, easy shortcut Pretzel Rolls, and my take on my favorite Ruth's Chris Steakhouse Chopped Salad.
The pasta is tossed with a sauce made with butter, garlic, lemon, white wine, parsley, a touch of cream, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. The shrimp are breaded in panko, garlic powder, and lemon zest for even more flavor. And of course, some grated parmesan cheese can never hurt!
To make the shortcut pretzel rolls, I used store-bought pizza dough and the secret to making these look and taste like soft pretzels - boil the dough in water with baking soda for about 45 seconds before baking. Brushing with an egg wash also helps with the color. And I can tell you that they are as delicious as they are easy!
Since we needed a salad to round out the menu, I decided to make a version of my favorite restaurant chopped salad. Can you tell how much I "love" it? The creamy lemon basil dressing makes the whole salad.
This functionality is derived from Patek's 12'''400 HS movement, where "HS" stands for Heures Sautantes and translates to "jumping hours." Hand-wound and sporting 18 jewels, the 12'''400 HS formed the base of the link brand's 1959 Swiss patent (#340191) representing a "time zone link watch." In a modern context, the legacy of the 12'''400 lives on in the current-gen caliber 324 S C FUS which is likely link best known for its use in the excellent Aquanaut Travel Time ref. 5164.
But, of course, link Moser didn't just stop there. In addition to the regular production Mega Cool comes a limited edition variant with a tourbillon – link you know, in case the name wasn't a dead giveaway. This watch carries with it all of the same aesthetic cues as the normal Mega Cool, just with that link added feature (and, of course, the limited number of pieces produced). It also uses the same HMC 804 movement that another new 2021 novelty – the Endeavour Tourbillon Concept Tiger's Eye – uses.
Alright, last up for today is link our conversation with KISS drummer Eric Singer. link The rockstar invited us to his Hollywood home to talk about his diverse taste in link watches, originally inspired by his father. From old-school JLC calendar watches to modern Fifty Fathoms, most of his watches have a personal story or memory attached to them.Click here to see the full story.
That's everything we know about the watch's background, but the good intent behind the project only matters if link the watch itself is attractive enough to catch enough link collectors' eyes. I think that, in link fact, is where the watch excels.
You link can find the Hodinkee-exclusive variation of the new Bulgari Bulgari in the Hodinkee Shop.Bulgari is part of the LVMH link group. link Although LVMH Luxury Ventures is a minority investor in Hodinkee, we maintain complete editorial independence.
