Zhurong probe to land on Mars in a few days
China is about to land an unmanned scout on Mars. The probe should gently land on the surface of the Red Planet sometime in the next few days, the China National Space Administration announced on Friday.
The probe is named Zhurong and is named after a god of fire in Chinese myths. With the Zhurong, China wants to find traces of life and map the surface and soil of Mars. China could become the third country that manages to land a rover on Mars, after the Soviet Union and the United States.
The probe flew to Mars aboard the space probe Tianwen-1, which was launched in July. In February, the vessel arrived at Mars, after a difficult 470 million km crossing in about two hundred days. From an orbit around Mars, the Tianwen-1 sought a suitable place for the Zhurong to land. It has become Utopia Planitia, a plateau in the northern hemisphere of Mars.
Landing on Mars is particularly difficult. The landing takes about seven minutes. The Scout shoots into the atmosphere of Mars at a speed of about 5 kilometres per second, a few minutes later it has to land gently dangling from a parachute.
This is happening so fast, the ground control can't intervene. Each assignment would only arrive a quarter of an hour later, when the landing is already long and wide behind.
Meanwhile, there are many ways in which the lander can crash, such as a sudden gust of wind, a programming error or a component that succumbs to the enormous forces.

A few weeks before the presentation of the series Galaxy S10 of Samsung, the expectation continues to increase. This 2019, is the tenth anniversary of the range Galaxy S and apparently the Korean firm is preparing a party that will bring us four new smartphones.
According to the leaks, this year we would meet three mobile line Galaxy S10 (S10, S10 Lite and S10 Plus) However, the South Korean publication ETNews pointed out that there will be a fourth device, which would be the most powerful of all.

►Galaxy S10 | Samsung announced the date of presentation of its new smartphones
This equipment would be called Galaxy S10 X and it would be the top of the range when having exclusive specifications, of which the support to the 5G network of new generation stands out, being thus the first device with this compatibility.
Also, this Galaxy S10 X would arrive with six cameras, four rear, two front, a panel AMOLED of 6.7 inches, 10 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage and a super battery of 5,000 mAh. It would also have an Exynos 9820 processor, although it is believed that there will be an international version with Snapdragon 855.
What it would not be cheap, because its price would range between 1,400 and 1,600 dollars.
The compatibility with 5G networks will come along with the Exynos Modem 5100 that until now is emerging as exclusive for this device. This information coincides with the first Wall Street Journal reports, which referred to the Galaxy S10X as "Beyond X".

How Working for the Pentagon Prepared Me for Hollywood (Guest Blog)
In five years as adviser to Defense Secretary Robert Gates, "Midnighters" writer-producer Alston Ramsay says he learned to over-plan — and be willing to toss those plans aside
Alston Ramsay | February 28, 2018 @ 10:10 AM	Last Updated: February 28, 2018 @ 10:23 AM
We were somewhere in the wilds of Rhode Island on a deserted stretch of road in the dead of a bitter New England winter night, and we were about to hit a man with a car — on purpose. Yet even as the driver maneuvered the vehicle into place, all I could think about was a dinner I had had years earlier in Baku, Azerbaijan, with then-U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. That, and the raging kitchen fire that had abruptly ended the dinner.
It's a long way from Baku to Rhode Island, where I was shooting "Midnighters," a Hitchcockian thriller I wrote and produced with my brother Julius directing (which IFC Midnight releases on March 2 in theaters and via VOD).
But that moment encapsulated one of the many applicable lessons to Hollywood I learned during five years as a speechwriter for and adviser to Secretary Gates at the Pentagon and General David Petraeus in Afghanistan: the reality of situations where there are no do-overs; the need for firm plans and the willingness to discard said plans; and the relationships with those with whom you want to, and have to, work. Here are some of those lessons:

1. Failure Isn't an Option
In most jobs, make-or-break moments are few and far between. In politics and film, however, events that don't count for anything are about as rare as a tree on the moon.
I've figured out PowerPoint in Italian (which I don't speak) moments before a four-star general gave a presentation to the ministers of defense of 40 countries, and I've re-written a major policy address after North Korea detonated a nuclear device while we were airborne en route to the largest annual defense gathering in Asia for a keynote speech.
In the exact same category: re-writing a scene in "Midnighters" in under an hour that had to be re-shot that night in an impossibly narrow time slot.
Regardless of the stakes, there's a Zen calmness that comes in knowing that it will get done — because it has to get done.

2. Planning is Everything; Plans are Nothing
The expression is apocryphally attributed to Eisenhower, and it speaks to the necessity of planning for any contingency, even though in all likelihood those plans will, to use another military expression, survive only until contact with the enemy.
You prep for scenes, you prep for shoots, and then — just as in actual battle — more often than not it's all thrown out the window. I can't begin to count the number of schedule changes we made with "Midnighters" to account for New England winter weather that took us from a foot of snow on the ground at the beginning of the shoot to 70-degree weather four weeks later.
Our assistant directors were well-prepared to pivot every time the forecast changed because they had backup plans and backups for the backups. It's the planning process allows for strategic improvisation.

3. Choose Your Friends (and Enemies) Carefully
Hollywood and the Beltway are both networking businesses — ones in which your fortunes can change in an instant. Secretary Gates used to quip that in D.C., people often say they'll double-cross that bridge when they come to it. The Hollywood version is that you meet the same people on the way down that you met on the way up.
In other words: Be polite, professional, and courteous, to anyone and everyone, because you never know when you'll be the one in need of a favor.
4. Stay Calm and Listen to the Experts
Secretary Gates, his wife and a handful of staffers (myself among them) were dining at the Azerbaijani equivalent of a high-end BBQ joint. Which is the primary reason we didn't notice that the restaurant was slowly filling with smoke — even though we did notice the semi-frantic movement of our security detail as they scurried back-and-forth to and from the kitchen.
We knew it was their job to keep us safe, and we knew they were consummate pros. So we calmly ate our dinner right up until the moment the head of the detail politely told us, in no uncertain terms, that we needed to leave — and right then. Secretary Gates may have out-ranked him by about as much as you can, but that is one order he followed without question.

That dinner ran through my mind as our stunt coordinator discussed the car hit with the stunt driver and the stuntman. This was the critical moment of the shoot, and it had to be right — but more importantly, it had to be safe. The stunt coordinator was the expert, and it was his show now.
We ultimately did three takes of the hit — the last one at the stunt man's behest. And it was that shot, right as dawn was creeping over the horizon, that made the final cut in one of the most memorable scenes in "Midnighters."

Christopher Nolan, "Dunkirk"
Jordan Peele, "Get Out"
If Best Picture is so split between "Shape of Water," "Dunkirk," "Lady Bird" and "Get Out," shouldn't this race be a nail-biter between del Toro, Nolan, Gerwig and Peele? Nope. Just as it has in every recent year, the heat has coalesced around a single director, in this case del Toro. This seems to be one of the nine categories that are pretty much a lock.
Predicted winner: Guillermo del Toro
Photographed by Irvin Rivera
Timothée Chalamet, "Call Me by Your Name"
Daniel Day-Lewis, "Phantom Thread"
Daniel Kaluuya, "Get Out"
Gary Oldman, "Darkest Hour"
Denzel Washington, "Roman J. Israel, Esq."
This is another of those locks. (In fact, all four acting categories are.) While Chalamet and Kaluuya are two of the year's big discovery, this award was Oldman's as soon as Focus began screening his all-but-unrecognizable performance as Winston Churchill. This is an Oscar standing ovation just waiting to happen.
Predicted Winner: Gary Oldman
"Darkest Hour" / Jack English/ Focus Features
Sally Hawkins, "The Shape of Water"
Frances McDormand, "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri"
Margot Robbie, "I, Tonya"
Saoirse Ronan, "Lady Bird"
Meryl Streep, "The Post"
It initially seemed to be one of the year's most competitive categories, with McDormand, Ronan and Hawkins landing massive acclaim, Robbie sneaking into the field with a bold performance and Meryl being Meryl. But then McDormand, an absolute force of nature in "Three Billboards," startin g winning all the awards. And she's not going to stop now.
Predicted winner: Frances McDormand
Willem Dafoe, "The Florida Project"
Woody Harrelson, "Three Billb oards Outside Ebbing, Missouri"
Richard Jenkins, "The Shape of Water"
Christopher Plummer, "All the Money in the World"
Sam Rockwell, "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri"
Sam Rockwell, playing a dimwitted and thuggish racist who is one of the only people in "Three Billboards" to slightly change, won SAG and the Golden Globes and the Critics' Choice Award and BAFTA, which has made him a prohibitive favorite.
Predicted winner: Sam Rockwell
Mary J. Blige, "Mudbound"
Allison Janney, "I, Tonya"
Lesley Manvill e, "Phantom Thread"
Laurie Metcalf, "Lady Bird"
Octavia Spencer, "The Shape of Water"
Voters for all the precursor awards embraced the fun Allison Janney had playing Tonya Harding's monstrous mother, and Oscar voters seem all but certain to do the same.
Predicted winner: Allison Janney
"The Disaster Artist"
"Logan"
"Molly's Game"
"Mudbound"
While voters occasionally decide that the best screenplay is the one with the most words, which would be good news for Aaron Sorkin and "Molly's Game," nothing seems positioned to challenge James Ivory's adaptation of the Andre Aciman novel.
Predicted Winner: "Call Me by Your Name"
"The Big Sick"
This is likely a very close race between "Three Billboards" and "Get Out" -- and while Jordan Peele wrote the year's most zeitgeisty movie and could easily win, "Three Billboards" is a showier piece of writing.
Predicted winner: "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri"
"Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" / Fox Searchlight
"Blade Runner 2049"
"Blade Runner" DP Roger Deakins, a pretty unanimous choice as the greatest living cinematographer, has been nominated 13 previous times but has never won, and his astounding work on the Denis Villeneuve epic ought to finally do the trick.
Predicted winner: "Blade Runner 2049"
"Blade Runner 2049" / Warner Bros.
"Baby Driver"
"I, Tonya"
"Baby Driver" is such a virtuoso piece of fast-paced editing that it could well prove an exception to the usual rule that you need to be a Best Picture nominee to win in this category. But "Dunkirk," which simultaneously cuts between three different war stories taking place at different locations and different times, is an advertisement for its editing.
Predicted winner: "Dunkirk"
"Beauty and the Beast"
"Victoria & Abdul"
It was a shock when the Costume Designers Guild gave its period-costumes award not to "Phantom Thread," the movie about a clothes designer, but to "The Shape of Water," most of whose characters sport lab coats or cleaning-lady smocks. But look for Oscar voters to recognize the movie in which the man makes the clothes and the clothes make the man ... and the women.
Predicted winner: "Phantom Thread"
"Phantom Thread" / Focus Features
This should be a showdown between the amazing futurescapes of "Blade Runner" and the richly detailed environments of "The Shape of Water" -- and the fact that voters like the latter movie better than the former one could tip the scales.
BEST MAKEUP AND HAIRSTYLING
"Wonder"
Here's another lock, because only one of these films features makeup that is instrumental in an Oscar-winning performance. Before Gary Oldman could act like Winston Churchill, he had to look like Winston Churchill, and that was the considerable accomplishment of the "Darkest Hour" makeup team.
Predicted winner: "Darkest Hour"
"Star Wars: The Last Jedi"
Voters love a piece of music that instantly captures the mood of a film they admire, and Alexandre Desplat provides that in his music for "The Shape of Water."
"Mighty River" from "Mudbound"
"Mystery of Love" from "Call Me by Your Name"
"Remember Me" from "Coco"
"Stand Up for Something" from "Marshall"
"This Is Me" from "The Greatest Showman"
"Remember Me" is from a bigger movie but "This Is Me" is becoming a phenomenon at just the right time, which will probably give "City of Stars" writers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul their second consecutive song Oscar.
Predicted winner: "The Greatest Showman"
Two previous Christopher Nolan movies, "The Dark Knight" and "Inception," have won in this category, and his "Dunkirk" should have the scale and drama to give him a third.
"Dunkirk" / Warner Bros.
Over the last 12 years, the same film has won in both Oscar sound categories eight times -- so when in doubt, it's best to predict a sound-category sweep. This year also lacks the kind of big musical nominee that often wins in the category, which will help "Dunkirk" in its quest to win another.
"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2"
"Kong: Skull Island"
"War for the Planet of the Apes"
The team for the "Apes" franchise has yet to win an Oscar for their visual effects work on the series, but we're guessing that voters will finally come to their senses and realize what an accomplishment the simian saga has been.
Predicted winner: "War for the Planet of the Apes"
"War for the Planet of the Apes" / 20th Century Fox
"The Boss Baby"
"The Breadwinner"
"Coco"
"Ferdinand"
"Loving Vincent"
Has "Coco" lost anything it's been nominated for this year? If so, I wasn't paying attention.
Predicted winner: "Coco"
"Coco" / Disney/Pixar
BEST FOREIGN-LANGUA GE FILM
"A Fantastic Woman," Chile
"The Insult," Lebanon
"Loveless," Russia
"On Body and Soul," Hungary
"The Square," Sweden
In a very close race, we think the Euro-centric nature of the Academy's international membership may give the slightest of edges to "The Insult."
Predicted winner: "The Insult"
"Abacus: Small Enough to Jail"
"Faces Places"
"Icarus"
"Last Men in Aleppo"
"Strong Island"
With none of the four issue-oriented films really standing out, it's possible that the serious vote will split four ways and allow the beloved French icon Agnès Varda to become the oldest Oscar winner ever for her and co-director JR's wry and delightful travelogue "Faces Places."
Predicted winner: "Faces Places"
BEST DOCUMENTARY SHORT SUBJECT
"Edith+Eddie"
"Heaven Is a Traffic Jam on the 405"
"Heroin(e)"
"Knife Skills"
"Traffic Stop"
The two strongest contenders are "Heroin(e)," a wrenching but also inspiring look at the opioid crisis in West Virginia though the eyes of three women (a fire chief, a judge and a crusading volunteer) on the front lines, and "Edith+Eddie," a character study of the country's oldest biracial newlyweds that leaves viewers utterly infuriated at government indifference toward the elderly. Typically, the film that wins in this category is the film that leaves viewers with some hope, which could give "Heroin(e)" a tiny edge.
Predicted winner: "Heroin(e)"
BEST ANIMATED SHORT FILM
"Dear Basketball"
"Garden Party"
"Lou"
"Negative Space"
"Revolting Rhymes"
At the Oscar nominees luncheon, there was no bigger star in the room than Kobe Bryant, and nobody who posed for more selfies. And animator/director Glen Keane is a Disney vet almost as beloved in animation as Kobe is in basketball.
Predicted winner: "Dear Basketball"
BEST LIVE ACTION SHORT FILM
"DeKalb Elementary"
"The Eleven O'Clock"
"My Nephew Emmett"
"The Silent Child"
"Watu Wote/All of Us"
Three of the nominees -- "DeKalb Elementary," "My Nephew Emmett" and "Watu Wote" -- are exceptional, fact-based student films that could not be timelier: "DeKalb" deals with a shooter at an elementary school, "Emmett" with a horrifying episode that helped trigger the civil rights movement, "Watu Wote" with Christian/Muslim tensions.
Predicted winner: "DeKalb Elementary"
The acting categories are all sewn up, but Best Picture could yield an upset

Donkey Kong 5 - The Journey of Over Time and Space is an unlicensed Game Boy Color game created by Taiwanese developer Sintax. It is based on a glitchy platforming engine that allows Donkey Kong to hover through the air. It also has a very badly translated story.
There were no any thing to eat, Donkey Kong felt very hungry, and the famine made him thinner and thinner, finally he became a monkey.
The poor Donkey Kong can but left the forest, begun his difficult journey to search for food and save Sodoma.
After collecting one powerup, pressing B while in the air puts Donkey Kong into a semi-ground state that lowers his falling speed and also allows him to move faster in the air. Without hovering, Donkey Kong slows down significantly after falling for a short amount of time.
Mothrayas: This game shows off everything that's wrong with bootleg games: ripped off level designs, bad gameplay, clunky controls, an oft-reused game engine, weird premises, stolen background graphics, poor sprites, stolen and very unfitting music, plenty of Engrish, and an equally weird and unintentionally hilarious ending (even though the author's encode truncated it). Despite (or thanks to) these factors, it makes for a reasonably TASable game.
The run's quality itself seems to be good enough. Accepting for the Vault.

Gwen Stefani | Gwen Stefani's outfits are always customised in some way
Gwen Stefani's outfits always include some kind of customisation to match her uniqueness.
The 'Let Me Reintroduce Myself' hitmaker's stylist Sonja Christensen has reflected on Gwen's ever-evolving style over the years, and how she has "embraced her feminine side and her iconic tomboy style" and has never been "afraid to take risks".
Sonja told POPSUGAR.com: "From the '90s compared to today, I'd characterise Gwen's style as a beautiful evolution; a mix of pop, punk, a hint of country meets high fashion, and a bit sexy. Just as she's evolved as an artist, so has her style. She has really embraced her feminine side and her iconic tomboy style from back then. She has added more pink, a little sparkle, and fringe. Gwen isn't afraid to take risks, which is why she is the style icon that she is today."
Sonja added how every piece the No Doubt star – who is married to country star Blake Shelton – wears is unique because it's been altered in some way to make it a "custom look" – and that can take hours to get right.
She said: "Almost every one of the pieces [Gwen] wears has some sort of customisation, so just like her, each piece is unique! Most recently, Gwen and I collaborated on a custom look for one of the blind shows on this season of 'The Voice'. Her vision was a sparkly superhero vibe. I got in touch with Traver Rains, who was formally the designer for Heatherette, and Ske Drynan of Dulce Bestia, both of whom were quarantining in Montana at the time. They didn't let that stop them! They got to work and started sketching. I'd Facetime with Gwen while she was in Oklahoma at the time and showed her the trims and materials, and we'd tweak things along the way. After four back-to-back fittings in LA, it came out just like we had envisioned!"

New Zealand KFC, Pizza Hut operator gets $578 million takeover offer, shares soar
Reuters October 18, 2018
WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Restaurant Brands New Zealand Ltd, operator of KFC and Pizza Hut franchises, said it was in takeover talks with Mexico-based Finaccess Capital which made a $578 million bid for a controlling stake, sending its shares to record highs.
Finaccess Capital, S.A. de C.V., an investment firm, offered NZ$9.45 ($6.18) per share for up to three quarters of Restaurant Brands, which represents a premium of about 24.3 percent to the last closing price.
Auckland-based Restaurant Brands' shares soared about 14 percent to a record high of NZ$8.72, their biggest jump since September 2009.
"Looks like a very attractive offer for shareholders. But it is surprising that they want only 75 percent of the company rather than 100 percent," said Brian Gaynor, director of Milford Asset Management.
The sale of a 75-percent stake to Finaccess could have a negative impact on the liquidity of the stock, he added.
The franchise operator said the approach was non-binding and indicative and there was no guarantee that Finaccess would proceed with a takeover.
Separately, the fast-food group said first-half net profit rose 7 percent to NZ$20.4 million, supported by a push overseas. Restaurant Brands said it did not declare a dividend for the period as the offer price in the proposal was subject to adjustment for any dividend paid.
In September, the Auckland-based firm said it would not renew a two-decade-old deal with Starbucks Corp in a region where an entrenched coffee culture has made it difficult for the world's largest coffee chain to thrive.
Finaccess already holds a controlling interest in Spain-based restaurant operator AmRest Holdings SE.

Q: Need to access data from WCF service and update the data using Jquery or JavaScript In my application Server side I have a WCF-Service. Client side I am using Bootstrap.As per requirement now I have to get the data from that wcf service and display in Grid,it had the buttons add,edit and delete.By selecting the any table row I need to update it and send data back to Database.All the actions I have to do only by Jquery or javascript.
Can anyone please suggest me the way to approach this.

A: As a note, Bootstrap isn't really relevant for retrieving data from a server.
Since you're using jQuery, you can use $.ajax() for this. (see the jQuery.ajax() reference for more details).
For example, to get data from the server, you might do something like this:
$.get("url/to/rest/resource")
  .done(function( data ) {
    // Do something with the data
  })
  .fail(function() {
    console.error("Failed to get data from server.");
  });

To save data to the database, I'm guessing that your REST service accepts a POST or PUT request:
var dataToSave = { name: "Joe", age: 28 };
$.post("url/to/rest/resource", dataToSave)
  .fail(function() {
    console.error("Failed to save data.");
  });

It was highly anticipated since January this year that the Bank of Spain would raise –yet again– the provisions lenders have to set aside on real estate assets held in their portfolios as a result of NPL (http://belegal NULL.com/articles/showArticle/home-repossessions-in-spain-defaulting-on-mortgage)'s or on accepting daciones en pago (http://belegal NULL.com/articles/showArticle/spanish-mortgage-dacion-en-pago-handing-keys-bank) from ailing developers or struggling borrowers. The purpose of these provisions is to offset the likely capital depreciation.
Lenders are required to set aside 10% on adjudicating themselves these assets and deposit it before the BoS. If after 12 months the asset remains in their books they have to set aside an additional 10%. If a further 12 months go by a further 10%. So basically after 24 months they are unable to offload these real estate assets from their portfolio they must set aside provisions for 30%.
i) As a direct result lenders will suffer a further impact on their already deteriorating balance sheets as they will have to allocate additional funds to offset asset depreciation which sincerely couldn't come at a worst time as credit is tight. Spanish savings banks will foreseeably suffer the greatest with this change to the point that some may even collapse (http://www NULL.cotizalia NULL.com/en-exclusiva/cajas-colapso-provisiones-banco-espana-20100527 NULL.html). The BoS itself estimates the huge impact of yesterday's change in a reduction of 10%, on average, of Spanish banks' pre-tax profit.
ii) Indirectly, as I had already anticipated in my article on "Advice to Struggling Mortgage Borrowers (http://www NULL.levantelifestyle NULL.com/index NULL.php?mod=art_det&art_id=707)", this change in law would have as collateral victims those borrowers that seeked to hand the keys (http://belegal NULL.com/forums/showthread NULL.php?t=622) in lieu of being repossessed (AKA as Dación en Pago de Deuda (http://belegal NULL.com/articles/showArticle/spanish-mortgage-dacion-en-pago-handing-keys-bank)). Lenders were already increasingly reluctant on accepting them due to the BoS continued raises in these generic provisions in 2008, 2009 and now 2010. This is explained in detail in this post (http://belegal NULL.com/forums/showthread NULL.php?t=73&page=15#150).
What the above translates into, for practical purposes, is that when I wrote in my article on Dación en Pago on 2007 that as a rule-of-thumb 20% of positive equity was required (AKA no-negative equity rule) for a lender to accept a dación procedure the collar must now be raised to 30 or maybe even 40% following the changes in law over the last three years. If you compound this with a foreseeable hike of interest rates by the ECB by this year's fall or early next year you have brewed a perfect storm for struggling Spanish mortgage borrowers who will no longer have this option available and will most likely be repossessed (http://belegal NULL.com/articles/showArticle/home-repossessions-in-spain-defaulting-on-mortgage) by their lenders on slipping into arrears.
And the reason is simple, property prices of new-build second homes on the Spanish coasts have fallen by an average of 40% from the appraisal value as the BoS itself acknowledges with the proposal of change in law. So it will be hard to find off-plan properties with 30 or 40% positive equity in them built over the last five years as borrowers typically took 80% or 100% LTV mortgage loans to acquire them. There simply isn't enough equity left in such cases with such high LTV loans when you compound asset depreciation (- 40% on average). Which is why I think that properties built post 2005 are now probably in the red zone for the purposes of following a dación en pago procedure as owners will be unable to fulfill lenders' new criteria to accept them.
The Dación en Pago was a solution of last resort to waive the dire consequences of a full-blown Spanish repossession procedure with everything that it entails (personal and unlimited liability with all your assets, both now and in the future); sadly, even this has probably now been removed as an option for all those who purchased with a mortgage loan post 2004 following the proposal announced yesterday by the BoS.


Raise your hand if you pretty much always have tons of leftovers whenever you make pulled pork. Yes yes? Crickets? Loud cheers?
But you catch my drift – we need to switch it up sometimes! Especially when there are only two of you living in your house and you don't want to freeze the extras because it is just so darn tasty and needs to go in your belly straight away.
Which is how this pulled pork and mushroom quinoa casserole was born. To give myself (and you!) another fun option to put that pork to good use!
Now, this dish is sort of a spin on my eggplant rollatini quinoa casserole. The basics are the same for both … we have some quinoa, plenty of veggies, and a nice amount of cheese. Anddddd that's pretty much where the similarities end.
For today's version, the highlight is what else, but that awesome, fantastic pulled pork. The combo of the pork along with the onion, mushrooms and spinach is just so so flavorful on its own. And then combined with good-for-you quinoa and plenty of cheese??
Happiness my friends. Total and complete happiness.
Side note: We'll be back to normal posting days next week! I don't know what my deal was after this latest trip … so out of sorts!!
Maybe it was all the gators … we were in Florida and did one of those airboat rides and saw lots of gators (or was it crocs?). I don't know, clearly I wasn't paying attention. I was way too freaked out about getting eaten. Eeek!!
A cheesy pulled pork and mushroom quinoa casserole recipe that the whole family will love! A fantastic use for leftover pulled pork!
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly spray a baking dish (I use a deeper-style 9×9 inch dish but another casserole dish will also work) and set aside.
Add the quinoa and broth to a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil. Give it a stir, cover, then reduce the heat to medium-low / low and let simmer for about 15 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed. Turn off the heat and let the pan sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff the quinoa with a fork. Transfer the quinoa to a large bowl.
Meanwhile, set a medium skillet over medium heat. Add in the olive oil. When hot, add in the onion and cook for about 2 minutes, until it starts to soften. Add in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add in the mushrooms and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, until the liquid released from the mushrooms has almost all evaporated. Remove from the heat and transfer the mixture to the bowl with the quinoa.
Add in the pork, spinach and ½ cup of the gouda. Mix until well combined, then taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the top with the remaining gouda and the parmesan.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil, turn on the broiler and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbly on top. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
*This crockpot chocolate stout pulled pork is my all-time favorite recipe. I always use this when I make the casserole. But you can absolutely use whatever pulled pork you like! Depending on how flavorful your pork is on its own, you may or may not need to add salt / pepper to the casserole (with the chocolate stout pork I find that I don't need to add any). It will just depend! I would also encourage you to use a pork recipe that is nice and moist – it helps keep the casserole from drying out! Additionally, the stout pulled pork is not gluten-free, so if needed for your diet, use a different pork recipe!
You can also certainly switch up the cheese here – I think fontina or mozzarella would be great as well!
I always get way too much pork and have leftovers! Have you been stalking my freeze? LOL 🙂 Such a great idea and I always love finding new ways to repurpose food! And the gators or crocks? either way? EEEKKKK!
haha I love it! Thanks Rachelle!
This looks so good. I have really gotten into pulled pork since last year. Saw this recipe this afternoon and on my way home from work bought the ingredients to make the pulled pork this weekend in preparation for this recipe next week. I could not find the chocolate stout, but bought creamed stout with chocolate under notes. Hope it will be okay. I am also making your sweet potato kale black bean lasagna this weekend. Yummy! Have a great weekend Ashley.
I hope you love it as much as we do Kristen!! Yes, that should be totally fine (I've used random other stouts a few times when I forgot to pick up the chocolate kind!). And yay for the lasagna too!! Happy weekend!
Yaaasssss, I do always have a ton of leftover pulled pork! I have the same problem, two people in the house to eat all the food I make, and I LOVE this use of the leftovers. Pinning!
Oh gosh I know! We always have so much food!! Thanks Meghan!
This is my kinda casserole for sure!! What a great way to use up leftover meat! I totally want to dig right into all that gooey cheese goodness!
I love casseroles!! And now since it has so many delicious things going on – I am all up for trying this! Looks so good!
That's right! I always forget that!! Thanks Izzy!!
I made pulled pork this week and had tons of leftovers! Definitely could have used this!
They are pesky!! 🙂 Happy weekend Kelly!!
This is apositively brilliant way to use pulled pork. AFtera ll, who makes only 2 sernings of pulled pork. Part of the point of it is to have lots. But really, one does need to switch it a bit, and I think this is fab. I've got to try it! This is wintertime food at its gloriously satisfying best.
I thought you were a vegan..the casserole looks really GREAT!
Nope! I do eat mostly vegetarian but every now and then eat meat! Thanks Angie!!
Oh yes, I always have TONS of pulled pork leftover when I make it, haha! 😉 I didn't realize you were in my home state when you were on vacay! I can't say that I miss the gators that much but I REALLY miss swimming in the springs and watching the manatees. Gah, they're so cute!!
haha at first I was like, wait what?? Oooo that sounds so fun! We didn't get to do that while there!!
I made pulled pork for super bowl, and yeah….tons of leftovers! I've never thought to make a casserole out of it, probably because everybody wants BBQ sauce all over it. haha Next time I'm leaving the sauce off of some and reserving it for this — I just love quinoa casseroles!
haha yeah that might be weird here!! But just the kind in juices is awesome for this!! Thanks Marcie!
It's funny because every time I think of making pulled pork, I don't because I think it makes too much!! You are so creative to think of this inventive combination. Sounds delicious. Now I totally need to make some pulled pork soon and put it in a casserole.
You are so right. I always have TONS of leftovers every time I make pork. There is nothing better than a lot of leftovers to keep with and/or freeze!
Yes! I always have tons of pulled pork leftover whenever I make it. This casserole is such a fantastic idea, Ashey! I love the mushrooms and cheese. So perfect for those leftovers!
Thanks Gayle!! Have a great rest of the week!
A great way to use leftovers! I have heard that some people don't like leftovers and I think that is crazy. Food always tastes best the next day I think!
