![]() ![]() The synopsis for Zombies Noir: Mixed Reality goes like this: If you have ever wondered what you would do if zombies suddenly invaded your home, this is as close as its going to get. In addition, it also turns items in your home into elements that you can use in the game. The game turns your entire home into a battleground full of the undead entering your home from augmented doors. Zombie Noir: Mixed Reality brings hordes of zombies into your home by using the Meta Quest. But I would love to see more confidence to break free from the franchise comfort zone and just run with these new ideas. Like Adam Wingard’s initial trailer for The Woods before it was revealed to be a new Blair Witch, there’s a lot of potential in the concept. Although, naturally, Chucky is a bankable name in the killer doll front, so that - in theory - would come pre-loaded with an audience (and calm down anyone that might argue “ripoff”). It’s a good concept, so it’s kind of a shame that they didn’t embrace the opportunity to do something fully original with it. ![]() Especially with the opportunity for hackers to corrupt it ( Unfriended: Dark Web, anyone?), or for the AI to go horribly awry. ![]() With the advances in technology, it makes a lot of sense that studios would love the idea of incorporating that dangerous tech into a killer doll film. So the doll can tell when you’re lying and choke you out for it. The doll “utilizes state of the art sensor designs which provide high resolution image recognition and grip sensitivity” and “can comprehend inflection, tonality and subtle variations in the human voice”. Whether you’re using bottled tamarind paste, or you’re making your own tamarind juice/water, use whatever amount of this that the recipe calls for.Advertising boasts “programming on your tablet” and “advanced programming on your computer”, and new “smart” technology like the doll’s ability to “learn from human interaction” as well as its “20 sensors and cameras which provide detailed realtime information about its environment”. Concentrate needs to be diluted with water before use. Note that this jarred tamarind paste is Not the same thing as jarred tamarind “concentrate”. Using this bottled tamarind paste is very convenient, but the taste of freshly prepared tamarind is better. Pre-mixed tamarind can also be purchased (shown on the left side of the photo above). Your paste can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few weeks. Discard the seeds and any pieces that have not mixed or dissolved with the water. Then use your fingers to mash the tamarind until it “dissolves” and you are left with a light brown coloured, thick, sauce-like paste. To make tamarind paste / juice / water, allow 1 tbsp wet tamarind / tamarind block to soften in a few tablespoons of hot water. To add further confusion, the term tamarind pulp has been used to describe both the flesh of tamarind (wet tamarind / tamarind block) and, contrarily, the parts of the tamarind that do not “dissolve” or mix with water. But in general, tamarind paste, tamarind juice, and tamarind water usually refer to tamarind that has been prepared for cooking. I have even seen this referred to as tamarind “paste”. This is often simply labeled as “tamarind”. Here is my general understanding: Wet tamarind or tamarind block is shown on the right side of the photo above. So depending on the source, it can be very confusing as to what a recipe actually calls for. There doesn’t seem to be a consistent use of terms that distinguish between those options. Otherwise, tamarind can be purchased in other forms. If you’re starting with fresh tamarind, discard the shell, the seeds, and the fibrous thread that runs along the outside of the flesh. On a side note, I like tamarind, but I dislike those sauces. ![]() If you’re not familiar with tamarind, you might be surprised to learn that it is an ingredient in Worcestershire and HP steak sauce. The flesh is reddish brown in colour, slightly chewy in texture, and unique and tart in flavour. It has a hard, dry, light brown exterior and several hard seeds. Tamarind is a pod-like fruit that is used in Southeast Asian and Indian cooking. ![]()
