Stepping Up My Cooking Game

I was thinking that I would love to be able to grow my own herbs and vegetables.  Being a bit of an amateur chef, my thoughts are that the main difference between good food and gourmet food is more about quality of ingredients than refinement of technique.  This past winter I looked into how I could go about growing my own veggies but the deeper I dug the more I saw that it wasn’t feasible.  Now that I am revisiting the topic I am looking into hydroponic systems to see if they are more to my liking.  I love the idea of people able to grow in a completely controlled environment over having to deal with the nature.  Whether its weather conditions, certain bugs or animals to me hydro is just a much better fit.

You Have to Change Your Outlook to Change Your Appearance

I was giving a pep-talk to a friend of mine at work.  She has been trying to lose some weight before her wedding, but has not been having any success.  So, I decided I would lend her my ear and offer her some suggestions.  What it all came down to was that even though she was using the best weight loss supplements, pills along aren’t enough.

She was thinking that she could continue down her normal road and the supplements would do all the work for her.  I explained to her what the actual  meaning of the word supplement is and told her about some changes in her behaviour that would probably help the process along.  I’m not sure if she will end up taking my suggestions but it at least got her thinking about things in the right way.
