Stepping Up My Cooking Game

Curt — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 12:44:38 +0000

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.

A Trip Down Memory Lane

Just recently took my girlfriend back home to Pittsburgh so she could do some sight seeing. She had never been there so it was a great opportunity to show her some of the places I talk about. I should here the place in Point Park where I used to study. Told her the story about how my mother said if I ever got seperated from her she’d find me at the USX steel building, the tallest building in the city. I was able to show her the old Kaufman’s which is now Macy’s (which is getting sold) and explain to her how I used to love the different scenes they have in the windows at Christmas time. It was a different kind of trip, one that I am glad I was able to take with her. I think it brought us closer together.

You Learn a Lot By Listening

Bored at work I was eavesdropping on someone’s conversation (you learn so much that way). They were talking about how often a pregnant woman has to go to the bathroom. Now, I am not sure why but I was completed fascinated. They then moved on to exercises and breast-feeding, truly riviting stuff. They also talked about a place called prenatalvitamins.org and how important prenatal vitamins are to a baby’s healthy development. All told I learned more in that 20 minutes than I learned over the past 35 years of my life about pregnancy.

A New Acne Treatment

I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of pronexin. To the best of my understanding it is a relatively new acne treatment. I have been reading some testimonials of people who swear by it but others that aren’t quite so positive. I can say that it has what appear to be pretty powerful ingredients, so I would find it hard to believe that it doesn’t work. The only question I have is how effective is pronexin.
