They simply need to color the pictures on each letter that begin with that letter. I don’t do a lot of worksheets with my preschool boys, but a car trip is the perfect time to pull some out. I had to trim the pages to fit them into the small baking sheets. But I think it’s something my older two kids, ages five and seven, will really enjoy. It’s definitely too advanced for my Two and probably my Four. This Complete the Picture drawing pad from Melissa and Doug is brilliant.

The scenes won’t be as striking as they would be with the full sheets, but you can’ t be choosy when you’ve got seven people jammed into a seven-passenger van. Then each child can have part of a scene and a set of stickers to play with. So I decided to cut each scene in half and cut the stickers into sections. The scenes are too large for laps, and definitely for our little trays. But I wanted to find a way to make it work in the car. This reusable sticker pad from Melissa and Dog is totally awesome as is. The Car Scavenger Hunt is from a giant set of road trip printables from 123Homeschool4Me. The simple and colorful Road Trip BINGO is from This Reading Mama.įor children who can read, Interstate BINGO is another fun printable from This Reading Mama. The lovely hand-drawn BINGO gamesare from Housing a Forest. The beautiful road trip drawing prompts (empty road and truck) are from Picklebums.

These were the best I could find because not only are they from talented bloggers, they’re also easy to download and print.

I searched high and low for free road trip printables. (The hard part has been keeping my kids from reading them before the big trip! Road Trip Printables I also referred to my Best Picture Books for Kids Pinterest board and found a huge stack of new-to-us books to take along. I borrow them from the library, store them in my CD holder, and reserve multiple copies of each book so each of the big kids can follow along. I’ll read aloud periodically, but it’s not something I want to do for ten hours! That’s where books on CD come in. But my Four in particular does not have patience for long trips, and he’s not ready to read independently. Thankfully, my Seven and Five can read on their own. Our number one activity on long car rides is reading. The sketchpad was from the dollar bin at Target.

As a survival strategy I’ve prepared a giant set of road trip activities for kids. We’re hitting the road before sunup and driving until way past bedtime. We are planning a very long drive this week.

The food is good, service flawless and as for the place itself… Simply decadent perfection. All in all we had a lovely evening at Kettners and I’d definitely recommend it, especially if you’re going for dinner with a girlfriend and don’t want to spend an absolute fortune. Wine wise we went for a carafe of the Pinot Grigio, and then swiftly found ourselves having to order another. Having demanded a bite I can agree with her on that front. Seared Yellow Fin Tuna Salad with New Potatoes, Anchovies & EggĬhar ordered a Fillet Steak with Béarnaise Sauce – which at £34.50 was a lot harsher on the wallet than my £13.95 tuna – and assured me it was tasty. I feel confident saying that as it’s a dish I’ve eaten probably hundreds of times and hundreds of different places and tried, unsuccessfully, to cook myself. It may not be exactly the most complicated dish in the world but there is in fact room for the whole thing to fall apart – overcooked tuna, cold tuna, soggy overdressed tuna, undercooked potatoes, excess anchovies etc etc – and the chefs at Kettners nailed it. For my main course I opted for the most obviously “me” choice imaginable, the Seared Yellow Fin Tuna Salad with Green Beans, New Potato, Egg & Anchovies. We kicked off with the West Mersea Oysters with Shallot Vinaigrette which were perfectly tasty and very reasonably priced at £13.50 for half a dozen.

Ok, so we didn’t try everything on the menu (I wish) nor am I actually a professional food critic (soz guys) but Char and I both thoroughly enjoyed our meal and had we not had to dash off, would definitely have stuck around for pudding and a digestif or three. I’m not going to come out and say that the food is the best in London because that would be a downright lie but judging from my experience there, the more scathing reviews I’ve read are unjustified and perhaps more down to their writers fond memories of a pre revamp Kettners than the grub they were served when they visited. Once we’d forced the charming barman to take about fifteen pictures of us and just about finished being totally over excited and hyper in the way that you are with your BFF who you haven’t seen in ages, we decided it was high time to move our party of two into the restaurant. I actually massively prefer wine to champagne but when you get a glass of the good stuff, it really is delectable. Or at least, she’s wrong now that the menu and service have had a major revamp.Ĭhar and I kicked off our trip to Kettners the only way that would have been appropriate, with some of their finest fizz in the downstairs bar. Think jazz age deco glamour, the perfect combination of decadence and elegance with eclectically mismatched antique furniture in the bar, ornate tables and a white baby grand piano in the brasserie and an upstairs private drinks area so splendidly opulent you expect Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan to pull up a bar stool and pop open a magnum at any second. That sounds like an exaggeration I know but Kettners is seriously, seriously gorgeous. Despite the fact my mum had told me repeatedly that while she used to frequent the place in her twenties (I won’t repeat the rest of her tales of her Soho carousing days as she’d kill me) but the food was distinctly average, the decor is so utterly exquisite that they could have served me gruel for all I’d care. In the past I’d only been to Ketterns for drinks do’s and had been dying to dine there for aaaaaages. On the flipside, it’s also an excellent spot to pop into for an excellent yet inexpensive dish served promptly by charming staff before heading on to do your debauchery elsewhere… Or, y’know, going home to bed, but where’s the fun in that? One could very happily spend a long evening at Kettners and plenty of hard earned dollar on their legendary champagne selection. Having been first opened in 1867, by Napoleon III’s chef no less, the place is nothing if not iconic and now plays host to jazz nights, kabaret and all sorts of deliciously debauched antics. Well you may be pleased to learn that this one isn’t like that. The kind of destinations where you only go if you’ve got cash to splash and want to spend a whole evening indulging on multiple courses, waddling out some hours later with only one thing lighter, your wallet. Time for another restaurant review, mes amies! I know the past few have been of the ultra expensive variety.

Types of whiskey glasses

#TYPES OF WHISKEY GLASSES SKIN#

Tulip: Tulip glasses are remarkably similar to snifters save for one defining difference: their stem. That is to say, they’re designed to let whisky breathe and develop its bouquet as you sip. There are a number of variations on this type of glass - including both the Glencairn and NEAT varieties - but they all serve the same basic function. Snifter: This type of glass is characterized by a wide bottom and a slimmer top/opening. For reference, we’ve outlined the three most popular glass shapes and their purposes below: We can’t tell you which glasses are right for you but pay attention to the smaller details, the purpose of their design, and your own personal tastes and you might just realize that a glass isn’t just a glass - it’s an integral part of what makes a drink worth drinking. Pick the right one and it can elevate the whole experience. Pick the wrong glass and your drinking endeavor might suffer for a litany of reasons.

#TYPES OF WHISKEY GLASSES SKIN#

In fact, there’s actual definable science behind some of it - like glasses shaped to open up the bouquet of a single malt scotch, those that eliminate the harshness of ethanol evaporating from a spirit, and even ones made to keep the oils on your skin from contaminating your liquor of choice. And each part makes a difference in said experience, including the heft of the glass in your hand, the appearance of the spirit sloshing about, the aromas the drink elicits, the evolving flavors from the moment the drink hits your lips until you swallow it, and - of course - that warm and fuzzy feeling of cultivating the perfect buzz.īelieve it or not, the glassware you choose can make a pretty tremendous difference in all of that. In fact, it’s a complete sensory experience. But a seasoned imbiber understands that having a stiff drink is much more than just a means of getting tipsy. To the layman, a glass is a glass is a glass.

XR is a game changer for filmmakers, and I think that so far, it hasn't been used that much for commercial content.

"To be given the keys to our expansive library of assets and produce a TV spot made entirely from Shutterstock content was one of those rare opportunities to combine a great creative brief with innovative technology that made perfect sense. "Following a fantastic year for Shutterstock Studios, having produced TVCs, branded entertainment, social and digital content for some of the world's biggest brands, media companies and agencies, it was an incredibly creative and inspiring experience to produce our own Shutterstock campaign," said Aiden Darné, head of global production at Shutterstock Studios. The TVC was co-produced by Shutterstock Studios, an end-to-end custom creative service launched in November 2020 that provides global production services, data-driven content strategy, brand storytelling and amplification for today's most influential brands and agencies.Īdditionally, Shutterstock's creative platform has been strengthened with recent acquisitions of leading online graphic design and image editing platform, PicMonkey AI music company, Amper Music 3D content marketplace, TurboSquid and the formation of its new AI division, Shutterstock.ai, and production company Shutterstock Studios. Our commercial is about celebrating all the resources available on one platform - from Editorial and custom content through our Studios offering, to video, music, and 3D rendering, that are, of course, 100% Shutterstock." We aim to expand the perception of what creators can do with our amazing catalog of assets, and highlight our services that can turn your ideas into achievements. "Shutterstock is redefining what creativity means and how content creation happens. 100% Shutterstock is an important moment for the brand as we prove ourselves to be a cutting-edge creative partner for individuals and businesses of all sizes. Our new commercial demonstrates the limitless creative possibilities you can achieve with 100% Shutterstock," said Rion Swartz, VP of brand marketing at Shutterstock. "There is no better way to tell your clients what you can do, than by showing them. The campaign aims to expand people's breadth and perception of Shutterstock's entire offering, showcasing the company's shift in positioning from its inception as a stock image house, to an intelligent creative platform.

Despite widespread access to tools and assets for creatives, there is a lack of a cohesive workflow and therefore, creators are required to constantly jump between resources. 100% Shutterstock enables creators to overcome this challenge by starting and ending their entire process on one platform, while keeping full flexibility on the creative concept. The demand for creative solutions and content has risen dramatically since the start of the pandemic, which has driven a need for more cost-efficient and flexible services to cater for remote working conditions and budget restrictions. The TVC, co-produced by Shutterstock Studios and the Ridley Scott Creative Group's RSA Films, asks creatives, "What can you create with 100% Shutterstock?" The TV campaign showcases the platform's ability to fuel and unleash creative potential from inspiration to the finished product. Shutterstock has launched a new TV commercial, 100% Shutterstock, created solely with Shutterstock content.
