Oct. 6 is National Noodle Day and the best way to celebrate is by eating some noodles. There are so many different types of noodles when it comes to taste, shape, and size. Different noodles can be used in different recipes or you can mix and match too. Now, is the perfect time to get creative and dig in. If you want to celebrate National Noodle Day, but do not know how to get creative with your noodles, you are in the right place. Whether you use a tool to make your own or buy them in a box from the store, check out these three interesting types of noodles to get started. Chickpea noodles There are many different kinds of noodles in the world, but one of the best are chickpea noodles. Making chickpea noodles can be relatively easy, once you get the hang of it. To make chickpea noodles, all you need is chickpea flour, as opposed to using just regular flour. Other than the chickpea flour, you will need all-purpose flour, salt and water. The benefit of having chickpea pasta is that chickpeas are a great source of protein. This pasta will give you those nutrients you’re craving. Zucchini noodles A healthier alternative to pasta is zucchini noodles. All you have to do is take some zucchinis and slice them into thin strips. You can put the zucchini noodles in a pan and sauté them. The way you cut the zucchini depends on the type of noodle you want.. You can peel the zucchini, cut it or use a spiralizer. The only warning that goes along with zucchini noodles is that you want to be sure that they are not too soggy. Making zucchini noodles is something quick, easy and healthy. Sweet potato noodles Sweet potato noodles are another healthy alternative to just eating regular noodles. You can cut your sweet potato however you want -- into thin slices, thick slices, small pieces or large pieces. To cook the sweet potato noodles, you can heat oil in a skillet and cook them over medium heat. You want to be sure that your noodles are al dente, meaning that they’re still a bit firm, before serving them. Cook the noodles for about 2-3 minutes. This is a quick way to make noodles if you are in the mood for something healthy and light. There are many different ways you can think out of the box and use different types of noodles. Make sure you go out and enjoy celebrating National Noodle Day. By: Briana Ramnauth Contributing Writer Freaky features: Demonic date night By: Daniella Rudolph Contributing Writer It is officially spooky season and if you aren’t a horror movie fanatic (such as myself), you are probably not out shopping for Halloween decorations by the end of September. However, it would be an injustice to yourself not to watch at least a few scary movies. What better way to do this than going in with a bang and start with the spookiest genre there is: demonic possessions. Grab some snacks, turn the lights down low, fire up your cauldrons and binge watch my top five spooky season scares. The Insidious quadrilogy (2010, 2013, 2015, 2018) Netflix Follow the thrilling story of a young boy who suddenly falls into an unexplained comatose state, leaving him open to a world of demonic possibilities. His mother, desperate for answers after she notices chilling happenings around the house where her son is being treated, turns to a more unconventional style of healing: a medium and her team of “ghostbusters.” There is never a moment of relief throughout any of these movies, as the hairs on your neck will be standing up straight throughout each minute. The Boy (2016, 2020) Netflix This two-part movie series is based on a grieving family trying to come to terms with the loss of their son Bhrams by keeping his spirit alive in the most terrifying of ways. The couple employ a full-time nanny to help them with this task. However, as the movie progresses, it seems that more than just the boy’s spirit embodies this house. This movie has one of the biggest plot twists that I have ever witnessed in horror movie history. The Woman in Black (2012, 2014) Amazon Prime Video This film is another fear packed two- part movie series with an unsettling twist. The protagonist, Arthur Kipps, is sent to a remote island to sort and close off the affairs of a deceased client from his law firm, but Kipps is also dealing with the grief of recently losing his wife. When he arrives, he discovers that he is not the only one grieving the loss of someone dear to him. However, he does not realize the magnitude of the dark, demonic secret the villagers are keeping buried deep within the soil. The storyline becomes even more horrifying in the second movie with the addition of an orphanage – if you know, you know. The Grudge (2020) Amazon Prime Video The Grudge has always been an iconic Japanese horror movie, where an ominous curse in the form of a demon is born and is set to haunt the spot of a killing and all those who visit it for all of eternity. The 2020 version gives a fresh blood-curdling spin on this concept whilst keeping to the classic story line, as the movie now takes place in the U.S. Annabelle trilogy (2014, 2017, 2019) and The Conjuring series (2013, 2016) Amazon Prime Video Chances are, you have probably already come to know the story of the demonic red- headed doll behind the glass kept in The Warrens’ Occult Museum in Connecticut, but do you know her true story? Watch the Annabelle trilogy and The Conjuring series to see how both these series intricately intertwine to reveal the truth to us. When you’ve watched them all and are probably sleeping with the lights on for the night, do not forget that these are just stories written for our entertainment... Or are they? Either way, happy haunting. PHOTO PRINTED PERMISSION BY F. SHABAN Watching Insidious Chapter 1 while indulging in some moon drop grapes PHOTO PRINTED PERMISSION BY B.
