Let us be the first ones (OK the ONLY ones) to say welcome to A Little Bit Peckish! We've been tossing around the idea of writing about our favorite things (eating, cooking, baking, traveling for more eating) for quite a while now. Those of you who know us are hopefully thinking, "What took you so long?" Those of you who don't know us should check out the "About Us" portion of the site to understand us a bit better.
From the moment we met, we have (largely unintentionally...at least at first) centered our lives around food. We are the epitome of living to eat. One of the dominant things that stands out about our relationship is how prominently food figures into our descriptive memory. It comes up as naturally in our conversations as fond memories of childhood might for someone else. That's because food is one of the things we are fondest of, especially when we're sharing it with those that we love.
As we thought about our inaugural post, it was obvious that we had to jump in with something that was a formative experience in our life together. Enter cheese bread!
If you like cheese and you like bread (and, really, who doesn't?), this post is for you! If you have ever experienced the awesomeness that is the Wegman's supermarket chain, then you can feel our pain when I tell you that the nearest one is over two hours away. Which may be just as well - for our waistlines- because their cheese bread was a contributing factor to unspecified weight gain during our first year of dating. Having a car in college meant, at the very least, weekly trips to this haven of culinaria. Seriously, their sandwiches alone are worth any trip! We often found ourselves late night perusing the baked goods section on a cheese bread run because sometimes regular bread just isn't enough. That's right - late night supermarket trips crushing on the carbs. It's how we roll!
How then, when Amy stumbled across this recipe, could we resist diving right in. The heart wants what the heart wants, after all.
Adapted from Seasons & Suppers
This cheese bread recipe resembles monkey bread in that you assemble it by dropping pieces into a loaf pan. You will end up with two loaves, so keep that in mind when dividing up the listed filling and topping ingredients.
While this is not an entry-level recipe when it comes to skill in the kitchen, it's certainly not the most daunting thing we've ever made (stay tuned for a post in the future about timpano). Once you get over the fear of rolling out dough (really not difficult) the rest is a cinch. Start the dough when you have some time, though, because there are two different opportunites for rising, both set at about an hour.
Meanwhile, practice makes perfect, so don't let this beautiful, melty, cheese-filled beast scare you away!
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 90° F.)
- 2 Tbsp. instant or rapid-rise yeast
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 tsp. dry mustard powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
- 5 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups shredded cheese (We used a combo of Irish cheddar, American cheddar and colby jack. The combinations are endless.)
- 2 cups cubed cheese (about 1/2 inch chunks), Again - your choice of cheese.
- 2 Tbsp. melted butter
- Grease two loaf pans with a generous amount of butter or cooking spray and set aside. Really whatever medium-sized loaf pan you have will work. We used two Calphalon 5x10 loaf pans, but 4x8 or 5x9 would also work.
- Fill a measuring cup with the warm water. The temperature should be around 90 degrees. Pour it into a large bowl, and then add the yeast. We used the bowl of our stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, but you can use whatever bowl it is that you mix dough in. Stir the yeats and water gently, and let the contents sit for 2-3 minutes. You may see some foam. This is normal and shows that the yeast is activated.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl (sugar, salt, dry mustard, and 3 cups of the flour). Once the dry ingredients are well-ncorporated add them to the water/yeast mixture. Then add the eggs, oil, and butter while mixing. Pay special attention to the butter to ensure that it gets incorporated.
- Slowly add the remaining flour, while mixing, up to the total 5 and 1/4 cups. You will know that the dough is done mixing when it gathers around the dough hook and starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl. It should be smooth and shiny. Once you reach this point, transfer the dough to a separate, oiled bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. The dough should be stored in a warm spot to rise for approximately 60 minutes, or when doubled in size. The humidity and temperature of the day will change the rising time. This is a good time to shred your cheese.
- Once the dough is risen, transfer it to a well-floured surfaced because it will stick. Use a bench scraper or very sharp knife to divide the dough into two equal pieces. Set one piece aside.
- Use a floured rolling pin to spread one piece of the dough into a rectangle as if you were rolling out a pizza. The ideal size is a 10x16 inch rectangle. Once the dough is rolled out, spread one cup of the shredded cheese over top of the dough, pizza style. After the cheese is spread, start rolling up the dough from the long side, as if you're making a stretched, cheesy burrito.
- Using a sharp knife cut down the middle of each roll from end-to-end. Then cut the two long pieces into smaller 1-inch. Drop about half the dough pieces onto the bottom of one of the prepared loaf pans, and ensure that the bottom is covered. Top with a 1/4 of the cheese cubes and follow with a second layer of dough and cheese. Repeat this exact process with the second piece of dough, filling up the empty loaf pan. You may see some spaces between the dough pieces. Not to worry - The dough will rise and come together in one big cheesy, carby loaf.
- The final step before baking is to drizzle both loaves with the melted butter. Once sufficiently drizzled, cover both loaves with plastic wrap to rise for 45 minutes or so. Now is a good time to pre-heat your oven to 350° F. The dough will be puffed up toward the top of the pan when ready to bake.
- Once the loaves have had some time to rise in the pans, insert both of them into the oven together. Baking time is about 35-40 minutes. About 30 minutes into baking, if the top is too brown, make a foil tent over the top of the pan to halt browning, and continue baking.
- The loaves should cool in the pans for 20 minutes or so. After that, run something flat around the outside of the loaf (we used an off-set spatula), and pop them out for further cooling on a rack.
Note: As tempted as you may be to tear the loaf apart as soon as it comes out of the oven, exert some self-control because you would be missing out on how great this bread tastes toasted. Slap some butter on there for an extra heart-stopping treat! Also, feel free to pop the second loaf into the freezer, as the enriched dough freezes well.
There's not a whole lot more to say other than thanks for stopping by our newly discovered corner of the Internet. We have big plans for this little site, and that means we hope you'll come back again soon. Of course if you have questions or comments about the recipe, please let us know. You can visit us on social media (links below this post - look for the icons), or you can visit the contact portion of our website.

An Empty Self
To be truly free of insecurity and pressures that draw our hearts and attention to the empty lure of this world, Christ must live in us. In order for Christ to live in us, we must be crucified with Him. Raised to new life in Him. Then, and only then, can we live a crucified life. To live – to be free – we must die. Not literally, of course. It's the death of our old self, the one that didn't know Jesus as Savior. It's the death of our will and our flesh, along with old ways and thoughts, lies we've been told, misconceptions we've believed, ways we've always done things.
It is Philippians 2:1-8:
Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
The key to it all is having the same mind that was in Christ Jesus, which begs the question: WHAT IS THE MIND OF CHRIST? We have only to look to this same passage: He made Himself of no reputation. In the Greek, it means He emptied Himself. He did only what the Father told Him to do, and He served, always putting others first.
Having the mind of Christ is to sacrifice. To set aside what we want for what others need, like Jesus did in Matthew 14:10-14. He had just learned of the beheading of John the Baptist, and verse thirteen tells us Jesus departed to a deserted place by Himself. Don't you know He just wanted a moment to Himself? And yet, the multitudes followed Him, and when Jesus saw them, He didn't respond with exasperation, as I would have. No, verse fourteen tell us, "He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick."
Do I do that? When I sneak off to the restroom or my bedroom for a moment of peace and quiet and my kids follow, how do I respond? With compassion and ready to minister to them? Or with frustration and anger, thinking only of myself?
Jesus set aside offense, as we see in Matthew 26:34-49. Jesus has just explained to Peter that he would deny Him three times when He goes with the disciples to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray. He says to them in verse thirty-eight, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with me." He leaves to pray, and when He comes back, He finds His disciples sleeping. This happens THREE TIMES, and then Judas betrays Him.
Don't you know Jesus had plenty of justifiable opportunities to be offended? Peter, then the disciples, then Judas. What do I do when people disappoint me, when they don't do what seems like the simplest, most considerate thing to do? Do I respond like Jesus, with yet another characteristic of the crucified life: forgiveness?
In Luke 23:32-34, Jesus is led to the cross with two other criminals. He lived the perfect life. Never sinned. And as they are crucifying Him, He says: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." Has anyone done anything worse to me than what Jesus endured? To live the crucified life, I must forgive as He forgave!
And become obedient to death. Thy will not mine be done.
Again in the Garden of Gethsemane, knowing the road to the cross that lay before Him, in verse thirty-nine, Jesus prays: "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will."
When I'm suffering or face certain suffering, am I searching for a way to get myself out of it or am I surrendered to the Father and to His will no matter what?
So we determine not to know anything except Jesus and Him crucified. We do this by living the crucified life. And we live the crucified life by having the same mind that was in Jesus Christ. We seek the Father's will and obey unto death, death of self, and perhaps one day, literal death. As we do, the chaos in our minds and lives and the things that don't belong begin to fall away. The slates of our minds and hearts remain clean for the Father's will.
I challenge you to take a blank note card sometime today. On one side write out 1 Corinthians 2:2, and on the other, using just one or two words for each item, write down everything that's cluttering your mind. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you the source of any mental and emotional chaos, and write it down. When you're done, take a black permanent marker, and as fat and large as you can, write "JUST JESUS" across your list. Now, tape your card your mirror or keep it somewhere you'll see it all the time. Memorize the verse, and when things start getting stirred up in your head and your emotions, ask yourself: Am I seeking only Jesus and Him crucified in this?
In 1 Corinthians 2:4-6, Paul goes on to say:
My speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
As we determine to know nothing but Jesus and Him crucified, what we say and do will be in demonstration of the Spirit and of power! Our faith won't be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God! We won't speak the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age! We won't live by the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age WHICH IS COMING TO NOTHING!
Lord, transform us into woman who are secure, who know to whom we belong, who desire to belong in the right places for the right reasons, who see through the world's temptations in order to remain dedicated to heavenly objectives. Let our days be lived full throttle just for You, Jesus, as we become more wholly Yours each day.

Choose Your Casting Method
Below are brief descriptions of the capabilities of the Eagle Group, including several different methods of metal casting, as well as CNC machining. We hope to help you choose the metal casting method that's right for your project. Take a look at our resources below, and if you have any questions click here to contact us any time.
Shell mold process
Offered by Eagle Alloy, the shell mold process is the industry standard for medium to high volume, commercial-grade casting projects. For a better look at how the process works, we offer a video animation and a comprehensive white paper on shell mold casting.
Thermally bonded sand is applied to the surface of a pre-heated pattern usually made of cast iron or steel. The "baked" mold is lifted from the pattern in halves. The halves are glued together, assisted by precise locating features to avoid shifting. The Shell process offers tolerances of +/-.030" on dimensions 6" or less and a surface finish around 200 – 250 RMS. Click here for a complete description of available tolerances, radii, fillets and other design considerations.
Advantages: good casting detail, excellent repeatability, very productive, less machine stock required than in greensand or no-bake processes, competitive pound-prices, very short production lead times.
Disadvantages: tooling prices higher than some other processes.
Click below to learn more about shell molding:
Lost-wax investment casting process
Eagle Precision Cast Parts uses this process exclusively. Wax is injected into an aluminum die to create a wax "pattern". These wax patterns are then assembled onto a "tree" which is repeatedly dipped in a ceramic slurry that, after drying, hardens into a mold. The wax is melted out, the mold is preheated and the metal is poured in. The resulting casting has an excellent surface finish of around 125 RMS, crisp lettering and minimal machine stock. This process is perfect for highly visible parts or replacing machining with cast features. Tolerances can be held to +/-.005" in most cases.
Advantages: excellent overall appearance, machining reduced or eliminated, can cast very thin walls, good for prototypes, economical tooling costs.
Disadvantages: higher pound-prices.
Click below to learn more about the investment casting process:
Permanent mold (gravity pour)
The term "permanent mold" describes a mold that can be used repeatedly, in contrast to sand-molds that must be destroyed to remove the casting. This is only one of the casting methods offered by Eagle Aluminum Cast Products. Permanent molding is desired by those requiring an aluminum casting with good density and superior mechanical properties. Castings made with this method are much more dimensionally accurate and repeatable than those made using sand methods. This reduces or eliminates much of the machining that may be required.
Advantages: very repeatable, sound density, can utilize cores in the casting design, short lead times, excellent appearance, tight tolerances, perfect for high volume.
Disadvantages: tooling prices higher than those used in sand processes.
Click below to learn more about permanent mold casting:
Greensand (aluminum)
Along with permanent molding, Eagle Aluminum Cast Products offers castings made with the greensand molding method. Greensand molding is the most diversified molding method in use today. Loose sand is mixed with a bonding agent and moisture then compacted onto a pattern. After both halves of the mold are made they are positioned together and filled with molten aluminum. Eagle Aluminum's expertise makes us one of the few capable of casting very large castings with very thin sections.
Advantages: low pattern costs, speed to market, not quantity-sensitive, can utilize cores in the casting design.
Disadvantages: not suitable for smaller parts, "grainier" surface finish than perm mold.
Click below to learn more about greensand casting:
CNC machining
Different metal casting methods are ideal for different applications, but CNC machining is often the final finishing process.
Eagle CNC Technologies utilizes the latest in machining technologies and has experience machining all types of casting and wrought materials. Our services are mainly utilized by, but are not restricted to, the Eagle Group. Our commitment to maintaining available capacity means our facility list is constantly expanding with the latest and greatest machines available. Contact us to discuss your next machining project.

Does Zambia need to change the way it allocates the CDF?
By Tamara Billima-Mulenga
As the Ministry of Finance commences the preparation of the 2015 National budget, it is worth asking how the government allocates spending across the different programmes it funds. These decisions are often based on existing historic allocations and developmental plans.
It is, however, rare for the government to base spending decisions on some measure of 'need': that is targeting funding at those areas that experience higher levels of poverty, or where the cost of delivering services is higher.
While there is evidence in Zambia of spending decisions based on some measure of need, for example funding to districts under the Ministry of Health uses a resource allocation formula, this is still rare. Governments tend to be weary of using measures of need because of the complexities it introduces to the budgetary process. ZIPAR believes that there is scope for a needs based funding approach. The aim should be to start small and innovate with an appropriate fund. One of the strongest candidates is the Constituency Development Fund (CDF), which accounts for 0.5% of the national budget but which is not distributed equitably.
CDF is intended to help constituencies in Zambia meet their development challenges and is disbursed annually to all constituencies. The CDF has evolved to become an important developmental tool for constituencies and has grown from K60, 000 in 1996 to K210 million in 2014. Constituencies use the fund to deliver certain services including construction of roads, bridges and health posts.
The CDF is disbursed equally to all constituencies when they differ significantly in terms of geographical size, population and levels of poverty. Constituencies in rural areas lack basic necessities such as adequate access to social amenities. Urban constituencies, in contrast, are better placed, in terms of developmental opportunities and levels of economic activity. Yet under the CDF because there is no attempt to take account of different levels of deprivation and poverty, each constituency receives the same amount of funding. The current allocation means that a constituency such as Kabwata in Lusaka where only 1% of its population is without access to proper water supply gets the same level of funding as Sikongo in Western Province the most deprived constituency, where 91% of its population lack access to water supply as shown below.
Under the current allocation, Sikongo given its high developmental needs has the same amount of funds to address these challenges as Kabwata which needs less funding to provide water to the 1% without water. To appreciate these varying challenges, ZIPAR has developed a formula that allocates resources based on the deprivation of the constituencies. The formula takes into account the population size of the constituency, access to education, health, water and sanitation, living conditions vis-à-vis the type of housing and employment in the area. The formula thus uses a needs-based approach.
The use of the formula entails that constituencies that are more deprived get more funding than those that are less deprived. ZIPAR proposes two ways of applying the formula. One way of using the formula is through a pure needs approach that requires allocating funds based on the deprivation of the constituency. Using this approach and the 2013 CDF allocation, we find that Kabwata constituency would get K2, 779 while Sikongo would get K947, 629. This realignment of the CDF means reducing the current K1.4 million per constituency significantly and may not be very desirable.
The second way of using the formula however does not significantly distort the current allocation but prescribes a minimum amount to all constituencies and then applies the formula on the excess amount. This alternative can be applied by allocating a minimum of K1 million to all constituencies and then the application of the formula on the excess funding. This way shows that while better-off constituencies do not lose out, worse-off places would be given a fairer slice of the pie. This model avoids creating winners and losers, but rather a win-win situation and should be given consideration.
There is sufficient international evidence to demonstrate the effectiveness of needs-based funding. Uganda for instance has successfully implemented the use of a resource allocation formula in health resources. Zambia as well through the Ministry of Health which has been using the allocation formula since 2004 has found the use of the formula to be relevant and useful.
Countries world over show that it is good practice to allocate resources on a needs based approach as it brings about equity in the nation. The use of a needs based formula will be a good move for Zambia to start allocating government funding based on the needs in the area to address equity concerns in the country.

It's officially the middle of summer and instead of enjoying the sunshine and warm weather, the pessimist side of me is worrying about the cold and dark gloomy winter days that are quickly approaching. Just the thought of this makes me shudder. I always find myself in full panic mode once August arrives. OMG summer is like basically over! So, to keep myself fully in the summer mindset I resort to wearing bright and vivid colors. One trend that I'm really loving right now is color blocking. How summery, right?
So fun and totally gives you that summer v.i.b.e.!
Red and Yellow…
Blue and Lilac…
Purple and Orange…
Red and Pink…
Give me all of the colors!
I wont lie, I originally was scared shitless about color blocking. My go-to colors are black, white, and MAYBE a hint of red. I've always played it safe in the color department (you wont find a single piece of purple in my closet) and I always felt like I could never really pull it off. Basically, I lacked confidence when it comes to wearing a lot of colors. After seeing so many other bloggers proudly rocking bright vivid colors I decided to give it a go.
I recommend starting small and working your way up. Start with pastel colors or pick a solid color dress and add a different colored shoe. Do what makes you feel comfortable; don't go full rainbow bright and freak yourself out.
Some Basic Rules to Follow
- Stick with 2 colors
- Buy pieces that are already pre color blocked for you – cutest color block swimsuit
- Start with pastels
- Work with accessories – love these Rag and Bone sandals and this Versace handbag.
- Stick with the same saturation – neons with neons
Don't be scared to get wild and have some fun with color!
Yellows and Reds have always been two colors that I love to wear; so why not pair the two together, right?
A little Ronald McDonald vibey? Sure…but honestely, I'm lovin' it. (HA!)
I was a little apprehensive at first, but then I reminded myself that the lack of confidence was only in my head and I went out and owned it.
Skirt: I purchased this from Zara in Moscow but here I found a similar style HERE
Shirt: I love this Ganni Top and how cute is this red blouse from Free People?
Since there was a lot of bright colors going on I decided to go with a simple white kitten heel mule. I love these Balenciaga mules or these more affordable options from Dolce Vita. If you want a sandal for summer then check out these super cute white mules by RAYE.
Alright, I'm signing off and working on an exciting adventure I'm planning for Labor Day weekend. Hint: Yoga, Girlfriends, and a place in Mexico that I've been DYING to visit! Stay tuned!

New York City transit expert says Charlotte should drop its focus on cars
With the passion of a politician rallying supporters and the zeal of a preacher riling up the faithful, Janette Sadik-Khan told a crowd of hundreds in uptown Charlotte a simple message: It's time to stop designing streets mostly for cars.
Sadik-Khan served as New York City's transportation commissioner from 2007 to 2013, overseeing a major push to reduce traffic deaths and make the city friendlier for pedestrians and bicyclists. On her watch, the city closed Times Square to cars, built dozens of pedestrian plazas, put in protected bike lanes and started a bike-sharing program.
"It is a fight we can win," said Sadik-Khan, speaking in McGlohon Theater. "It is a fight we must win, because when you change the street you change the world."
While Charlotte is a car-dependent city, the talk and two-day visit by Sadik-Khan was the latest evidence that something is brewing:
▪ The city is considering its first ever protected bike lanes (where physical barriers separate cars and bikes), which would run through uptown.
▪ Advocates are gaining traction with a push to reduce traffic lanes on Central Avenue and The Plaza to slow traffic and make the area safer for pedestrians.
▪ And the Charlotte Area Transit System is preparing to open the Blue Line light rail extension to University City next year and mulling a rapid push to build up to $6 billion worth of new rail lines.
With traffic increasing and Charlotte's population projected to grow for decades, fights over transportation are likely to continue and get even nastier (Exhibit A: The brawl over I-77 toll lanes). And Sadik-Khan pointed to another factor: The rising toll of pedestrian deaths, which spiked nationwide in 2016. Almost 6,000 pedestrians died nationwide in 2016, the most in more than two decades. In Charlotte, 20 pedestrians died. That's nearly double the annual average from 2011 to 2015, according to city statistics that show 65 pedestrians were killed in that time.
"Our streets in many cities are sick," Sadik-Khan told the Observer in an interview after her talk. "We built our cities around the car. We're getting diminishing returns on that investment."
Sadik-Khan is well-known in transportation circles, and she was introduced as both a "rock star" and a "goddess." The event was part of a speaker series sponsored by Charlotte Center City Partners, the city of Charlotte and the Knight Foundation.
Here are four suggestions from Sadik-Khan on how to change Charlotte's streets:
1. Move fast
One criticism an audience member brought up at Sadik-Khan's presentation: Charlotte can move slowly with changes. With the protected bicycle lanes uptown, for example, stakeholder meetings began last summer, design work could start in late spring this year if approved by City Council and construction would take place when funding becomes available – whenever that is.
"Instead of just endlessly debating theoretical ideas and engineering drawings, try something and see what works," said Sadik-Khan. If projects drag on for too long, "people sort of lose hope that anything can actually change in your lifetime," she added.
In New York, she said, her department moved fast with new ideas. The first pedestrian plaza they created in Brooklyn, redoing a triangular patch of asphalt with new seating, umbrellas, planters and bright new paint, was done in a weekend. They put their first parking-protected bicycle lanes (where on-street parking is moved into a traffic lane, to create a protected zone for bikes) within months of seeing the idea in Europe.
One way to get people comfortable with new concepts like protected bicycle lanes, Sadik-Khan said, is to try them out as pilot programs and emphasize that they'll go away if they don't work or snarl traffic. That's what she did when first closing Times Square to cars.
"You can try ideas out and see if they work," said Sadik-Khan. "It really dramatically reduced anxiety."
2. Be ready for backlash
The title of Sadik-Khan's recently published book is "Streetfight." Her changes in New York City were met with criticism in the press and even protesters holding signs demanding parking spaces be restored and bike lanes removed.
"When you change the status quo, the status quo pushes back," said Sadik-Khan. "People tend to erupt."
One particular point of consternation: Any plan that removes parking spaces. That would be one likely consequence of the city building a protected bicycle lane on Sixth Street. Sadik-Khan's advice is to be ready and enlist the help of pro-transit, pro-bicycle and pro-pedestrian advocates.
"I think backlash is a sign that you're doing something right," she said. And much of the backlash dies down once something like a new bike lane is in place. "People calm down when they actually see it in fact."
3. Start small, with existing materials
Sadik-Khan emphasized that unlike transit projects with billion-dollar budgets that require huge new right-of-ways, many streets can be modified with paint, lane striping and the common materials transportation departments have already.
"You can accomplish a lot just by using what you have on hand," said Sadik-Khan. "It's not rocket science."
She pointed to Times Square, which New York blocked off with simple traffic barrels and initially filled with lounge chairs from a nearby hardware store.
"If you see something that you think might work on your street, try it out," said Sadik-Khan.
4. See the possibilities in the asphalt
One factor in Charlotte that some might see as a disadvantage is actually an advantage: The city's car-oriented framework, with wide streets designed to carry cars at relatively high speeds. That leaves plenty of "extra asphalt" that can be repurposed into things like bike lanes, wider sidewalks, new seating areas with benches and mini-parks or express bus lanes.
"If you take a new look at your streets, you can see the possibilities that are almost just trapped between the lanes," said Sadik-Khan. "You guys have so much room to play with. It's mouthwatering."
And above all, she encouraged experimentation.
"I think you need to just get out and do it," she said. "You have the bones."

Mossy Creek MS FBLA
Volunteers at Houston County Humane Society
Mossy Creek MS FBLA has chosen to volunteer on a monthly basis during this 2018-2019 school year at the Houston County Humane Society. Students and their advisor Mrs. Robin Fobbus visit one Saturday a month for 2 hours in the morning to help with cleaning cages, washing bowls, washing towels and blankets, mopping, walking, holding and playing with dogs and cats. This service helps the regular volunteers and the animals. This experience has taught students how to give to their community and take pride in what they are contributing. Mossy Creek MS FBLA also sells hat passes at school on Fridays to raise money to donate to the Humane Society. The list of students who ask to participate is never ending and we hope to continue this service for many years to come. Thank you to the Humane Society and to the parents of the MCMS students who support our volunteer efforts.

I've been seeing Janet for over 2 years. She has been my saviour! Through this beautiful loving soul I am able to stay connected to my loved ones on the other side. I know that whatever is bothering me or questions I need answering that she will be there for me. Thanks Janet for not only being my connection but for being my dear special friend! I love you beautiful lady!
Janet has been amazing to work with! 5 stars is not enough to give! She is so accurate, professional, so comfortable to be around, and truly the sweetest soul. Her private readings have been so meaningful; her classes are incredibly informative and so much has been learned; and the house reading she just performed was the most amazing experience!!! She took her time, explained all of the concerns we had, was very thorough, and we never felt like she was rushing us at all. She is so wonderful to work with - so sweet, and just easy to be around! We are so blessed to have found her, thanks to a very strong recommendation from a friend, and look forward to many more experiences and classes with her. We have recommended her to many friends and family members and she does not disappoint! Do not miss the opportunity to have a reading with her - she is truly a jewel! We love Janet!
Wow!! Wow is an understatement. I hardly talked throughout our session, she did most of the talking and she was 100% ACCURATE!! I was NOT feeding her any information whatsoever. I was quiet for the most part and just let her talk. J. Marie correctly described my house, my grandmother's death and what took place in our family at that time. I have peace now, knowing my grandmother is with me. A session with J. Marie is worth every penny!
I had a reading today and I left feeling very encouraged! I left feeling like my love ones were walking beside me! She made me feel very comfortable!!! I plan on booking a group reading so that my family can get the same experience!! I lost my husband about 7 months ago and today was the first time that I felt like he were actually here and talking to me!
One of the most amazing experiences of my life. Was a complete skeptic at first. She's the real deal! And brought me a lot of closure from loved ones who have passed. Highly recommended, will not regret!
Difficult to find the appropriate words to express my meeting with J Marie yesterday. 100% validation that my 29 yo son is happy and has been communicating with me frequently since he passed away 7 months ago. J Marie told me exactly what happened to him and personal items that we placed with him. She had no way of knowing any of these things, and I was so happy to know my son acknowledged so much through her to me. She knew my boyfriend's name and our dog's name. Highly recommend her, by far the best medium I've ever met. A very blessed experience! She is very gifted. Gave me a lot of peace. Thank you Brad for validating so much to help heal my pain of losing you.
I walked in not expecting much, but was completely blown away at her accuracy and knowledge. I couldn't believe what she was telling me, because no one knew the information she provided. She was dead accurate about every single person/spirit she brought up! My mind was completely blown. I think about this experience every single day. I STILL cannot believe the information she provided me about my past and current loved ones! TOTALLY amazing and worth every single cent.

Politics & Government
California's health care reform bills await Schwarzenegger's signature
As Congress and President Barack Obama began wading into national health care reform earlier this year, California's leaders were already embroiled in debate over what they could do on their own turf.
Congress might eventually enact changes that address consumer complaints about being denied insurance coverage or being thrown off individual plans, a practice called rescission.
Federal lawmakers also might get around to outlawing practices that allow some insurers to charge women more because of their gender, or extra to get maternity benefits.
But like other states, California has the power to pass its own laws to provide relief, absent federal solutions.
"It's critically important we do these things, whether it's rescission reform or maternity reform at the state level," said Anthony Wright, executive director of Health Access California.
"Things could change with federal reform," he said, "but we can't wait."
Three key bills that health care advocates lobbied for were approved by the Democratic-controlled state Legislature this year.
But the proposals didn't garner Republican support, and the insurance industry opposes them.
The bills are on Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's desk, awaiting his signature or veto.

The steel framework for the south core of 1 World Trade Center has reached more than 100 feet above Vesey Street. The north pool of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center is taking visible shape. And by the end of the month, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey expects to have placed an order for 22,000 tons of steel to build the World Trade Center Transportation Hub.
It seems safe now to say that the new World Trade Center is under way.
That doesn't mean that it is anywhere close to completion. But the battleground has shifted largely from offices and conference rooms to the 16-acre site itself and the task of engineering and assembling an interlocking three-dimensional puzzle that begins 70 feet below street level and is to culminate at a point higher than any other in New York City.
The memorial plaza is to open on Sept. 11, 2011, followed by the underground memorial museum and Tower 4 in 2012; 1 World Trade Center, also known as the Freedom Tower, in 2013; and the transportation hub in 2014. Less clear, as the economic storm gains force, are the fates of Tower 2, Tower 3 and Tower 5. And it never hurts to add the caveat that a lot of surefire plans at ground zero have been foiled by circumstance.
Taking that into account, The Times plans to follow construction (or delays) over the next few years in a series of video reports, beginning with this one. These reports will focus on the big milestones, on the fascinating details that must be resolved, and on the many men and women who are building the new trade center. If you have a few years to spare, stay tuned.

CRM for Sales
Cal T.
Opmerkingen: Overall I'm thrilled. No more lost leads. No more forgetting what happened or when it happened. It conforms to my exact sales cadence. I'm so happy with it I have tried to convert all my friends who are entrepreneurs over to Salesflare – and no I'm not an affiliate of them so I don't get paid. Oh, and did I mention that it keeps on improving? Yes, it does and when they roll a new feature out it has good documentation on it.
Pluspunten: It is easy to use, easy to customize, and accomplishes EXACTLY what I need it to. I like that it is a CRM that specializes in Sales, because if you don't have sales you don't have a business. I have a sales cadence that is critical to follow. In Salesflare I can customize it to meet my exact cadence. But wait, that's not all!!!! I can easily send an email campaign to my contacts. And the email program in Salesflare is AWESOME, you can customize your emails with contact names or business names. You can then track your emails.
Minpunten: When a program does all that Salesflare does it is hard to complain. But, you want a negative and I'd have to say that I can't create a true Drip Campaign in Salesflare (it was never meant to be an email marketing software). And I would like the Tasks in my task list to be emailed to me, but since I'm in the program already this is not that big of a deal.

Highly Recommended CRM
Don D.
Opmerkingen: I use Salesflare to track sales opportunities. It is easy to use and makes it easy to see what I need to do next for each potential client to keep the sales process moving. I also use Salesflare to track communications in my Book Yourself Solid® Network of 90 and List of 20. I'm perhaps using it in a bit of an unorthodox way for this, but it works, and it makes it easy to see who I need to contact this month.
Pluspunten: Salesflare is full-featured and easy to use. One of its key features is that it does the work for you. Between Salesflare and a couple of Zapier integrations, I can spend my time communicating with clients and potential clients, not entering their info in my CRM system. I like that it has a very visual interface, which makes it easy for me to see and track communications with clients and potential clients. I also like that it is easy to customize. Customer support has been great. They consistently reply to support requests quickly, with accurate answers that actually resolve my problem!
Minpunten: There's not much to not like... there was an outage a week or so ago, which hurt, but they did do a great job of keeping customers informed about the issue.

Most powerful yet simplest CRM
Hemant S.
Opmerkingen: Managing Clients through email and spreadsheets was getting chaos at RTIwala Services. Whereas other CRMs are too complex to understand and use.
Pluspunten: It's simple and easily understandable UI & UX. Availability of many advanced features like tagging, lead enrichment and custom fields. The RTIwala Team is in love with Salesflare and their support.
Minpunten: Nothing as such. Just looking for more native integrations particularly with WooCommerce, Weebly and Shopify.
Beoordeeld op 12-9-2018
Powerful Software for managing clients and leads
Nate R.
Opmerkingen: Highly recommended if you are looking for a sales CRM that can integrate into your other systems and can streamline your teams methods for getting and retaining clients.
Pluspunten: The biggest reason why we use Basecamp is it's simplistic and streamline interface when working with clients. This is our Go To CRM we use for managing projects along with our clients. Salesflare has made it so that we can track leads for each of the project types that we have then we integrate this information with other programs we use. At every stage of the sales process we know exactly where the client is in the sales cycle and how far along they are before we think they will make a purchase. It's great!
Minpunten: It can seem daunting at first because it is so feature rich. But they have a well built out FAQ and instructions page, so with a little bit of time, you can quickly get up to speed and start benefiting from all of the tools they offer.
Beoordeeld op 17-9-2018
It's a must for freelancers
Ayman A.
Opmerkingen: I'm a freelancer and always struggled to get my lead generation process organized. Salesflare is one of the tools that will pay for itself. I signed up a few clients on a retainer basis which is super awesome!
1) The integration with Gmail and Outlook so I can add my leads on the go
2) The campaign feature. I use this primarily to nurture my leads and keep my client informed about the latest updates in their industry
3) The excellent support team
4) Suggestions for new people to add to the contacts every time I add a new account to the pipeline
5) Reminders to prepare for my meetings. Also, the reminders to take notes after my meetings
1) Lack of online scheduling tool with my leads similar to Calendly
2) The tool only reports that an email was opened but it doesn't exactly tell you who opened the email. I use another tool for this purpose so I'd love to see them bridging this gap in the future
Beoordeeld op 8-11-2017
Fast, easy and reliable. It does what it says really well with a really nice UI.
José antonio S.
Opmerkingen: It saves me a lot of time, keep track of email openings, that way I know when a lead or customer sees my emails, also, I can see when they go to my website, which is great. The pipelines are really visual and customizable so it should work for any kind of business. It integrates well with IMAP, Outlook, Gmail and others, so you can track your communications in almost every email account.
Pluspunten: Automates the lead data gathering and task making process, saving a lot of time. Also, it has smart reminders which are great for people like me that keep forgetting to do follow-ups. The UI is well made so you don't need to take any tutorial to learn how to use it, also, it has a mobile app that will let you keep track of everything on the go.
Doesn't have in-app email and it lacks a lot of native integrations, even though that it has Zapier.
It is really good, but these two points are what is left for it to be great!
Antwoord van de leverancier
van Salesflare op 11-9-2019
Hey Jose!
Just wanted to let you know that in-app emailing is there for a while now and native integrations are building up.
Hope we managed to hit your expectations for greatness!

Bare Bones But Dense With Features
Carlos D.
Pluspunten: What I like the most about Salesflare is the direct integration into Gmail. While other CRMs offer amazing functionality and features, more often than not they require you to use their integrated email service. As a small business, we use Gmail for our communication, file management, and scheduling. Having a light-weight CRM directly integrated into Gmail makes client managment easier and that's the most important feature for us.
Minpunten: Salesflare does suffer from a lack of compatibility with other sales based software. For example, we use Leadworx for our outbound lead generation. Leadworx integrates with CRMs such as Salesforce and Zendesk but Salesflare is not compatible which means we need to go back and forth between platforms to manage our lead generation and account management. The point of using Salesflare, for us, is to limit the need to switch between platforms.
Antwoord van de leverancier
van Salesflare op 11-9-2019
Hey Carlos! The Leadworx integration is there now for a while and it is quite extensive. Hope you enjoy it!

Great sales pipeline management tool
Damian R.
Opmerkingen: Salesflare is fulfilling all our needs for managing multiple businesses and multiple pipelines with each business. Their customer service is quick and responsive. Initially, I had a couple of challenges utilizing the features fully but their team was there to support me and exceeded expectations.
Pluspunten: The ability to manage multiple pipelines seamlessly and the insights dashboard.
Minpunten: The cost for adding team members is relatively higher than other similar small business products.
Antwoord van de leverancier
van Salesflare op 12-9-2019
Hey Damian! Glad you're enjoying Salesflare. You can customize the stage probabilities in "Settings > Configure pipelines" and if you like individual probabilities per opportunity it's in "Settings > Customize fields". Shout if there's anything else!

Simple CRM with Expanding Feature Set to Get the Job Done
Jason J.
Opmerkingen: Really happy with the overall Salesflare experience. I currently use a couple of different CRM tools for various reasons but see myself using Salesflare as my go-to main CRM.
Pluspunten: Nice clean dashboard for a quick snapshot of your sales cycle and lead pipeline. Excellent clutter free user interface with just the right amount of features without being overwhelming. Customer service responds quickly when you have a question or concern and they welcome customer feedback and product suggestions.
Minpunten: Overall a great tool, hard to find much to dislike. I'd like to see a few more native integrations instead of the majority of things going through zapier but I completely understand the thought process as native 3rd party integrations can be very time-consuming.
Beoordeeld op 19-12-2018
Salesflare: Already Great and Getting Better
Geverifieerde reviewer
Opmerkingen: As someone looking for a CRM for a particular use in a particular field, I really like Salesflare's look and feel, power and possibility. It is still a relative newcomer, but already feels accomplished and still on the rise.
Pluspunten: Salesflare is a very capable CRM with a feel not unlike Salesforce, the behemoth that dominates this market segment. It started as a nimble, useful product, and keeps growing in its versatility and capability. It continues to add integrations—both direct connections as well as a host of other possibilities with Zapier functionality.
Minpunten: "With great power comes great responsibility"—somebody smart said that once, and they were right. Salesflare is like a veritable Swiss Army knife, with lots of tricks up its sleeve, but it takes a little bit of sweat equity to get it right. While you might be able to use that saw to trim your toenails, there are better options. All of those options are there in Salesflare, so give yourself a little time to grow into it.

Easy to use CRM
Vassilis S.
Pluspunten: Salesflare connects directly to your inbox so that you have access to your emails, contacts and calendar events from within their CRM without having to BCC email addresses or any extra hustle.
Minpunten: Searching for an existing account is not so intuitive as it could be. On a few occasions, I had to contact the support team to perform specific updates (e.g. change my profile picture) but this is really minor concerning the general usage of the platform.
Antwoord van de leverancier
van Salesflare op 12-9-2019
Hey Vassilis! Editing your profile picture is possible for a while now. We also upgraded the account search. We know you know where to find us if there's anything else!

Simple to Use With Just The Right Features
Ama D.
Opmerkingen: Fantastic!
Pluspunten: Simplicity. It has enough functionality to manage your sales pipeline without it feeling overwhelming. This also makes it possible to easily get up to speed with the software and actually put it to use, rather than it gathering dust. I also like the fact that I can have it as an app on my iPad.
Minpunten: I think the how-to videos and knowledge database need to improve. It would also be great if Salesflare could use it's blog or Youtube to educate business owners on how to get the best out of it and use it effectively in one's business.
Antwoord van de leverancier
van Salesflare op 12-9-2019
Hey Ama! We keep working on our YouTube videos (https://salesfla.re/gettingstarted) and knowledge base (https://howto.salesflare.com/) all the time based on your questions. If you have any questions, hit us up on the in-app chat!

New features added often
John V.
Opmerkingen: Salesflare support is quick and efficient. They reply back to questions within hours or even minutes, and the online help is fairly complete. The software is something I use every day.
Pluspunten: SalesFlare has all the most-needed features of a CRM. I especially like how Saleflare goes out and adds social media contact information for my contacts - automatically! The pipeline feature is easy to use and helps me stay organized.
Minpunten: There are a few things I would like to be able to do that I can't do yet - send an email message to everyone in stage X of my pipeline. I would also like to be able to search my internal notes on a contact. But those are minor features.
Antwoord van de leverancier
van Salesflare op 11-9-2019
Hey John! In case you missed it, you can now send an email message to everyone in stage X in your pipeline. Have fun!

CRM software that saves you time
António A.
Pluspunten: Salesflare uses an "account-based marketing" CRM style. It pulls contacts automatically from Gmail (other clients available) which we can use to create new accounts. Later we can create opportunities in a kanban style. All communications are centralized under each account and all information is also available directly on Gmail. It also includes a short report feature which gives us insights about how we are doing in terms of new deals.
Minpunten: The tracking feature should be improved. Right now the system doesn't exclude IP's for tracking so if I open a "sent" email on Gmail it counts as "someone opened that email".
Antwoord van de leverancier
van Salesflare op 12-9-2019
Hey Antonio! Your own email opens and link clicks are now excluded, fully automatically. Hope you love it!

A Simple CRM Software with Hidden Possibilities
Geverifieerde reviewer
Opmerkingen: An easy to use CRM with a lot of possibilities once you get deeper into using it.
Pluspunten: It's simply and logically laid out. Getting started is easy. I like the distinction they make between a contact and an account. They also pull some information on contacts from their social media which is useful. It allows you to create, track, and close opportunities. The most useful feature for me is to be able to customize the stages of a selling process. One of their strengths is an enthusiastic integration with a wide range of other tools and products that are relevant to selling and prospecting.
Minpunten: Seemingly simple at first, digging deeper and using the product effectively is more difficult than appears. The import can only be done from a file. I would be a tremendous help to be able to important contacts directly from Google Contacts, Mailchimp, or Active Campaign, for example.
Beoordeeld op 13-9-2018
Easy to use, manage, and track sales process.
Amati pettes, I.
Opmerkingen: How easy you can create campaigns and opportunities and track your contacts. You will have a lot of ways to track your leads with Zapier integration and others like website and email. The automation options are really useful. Salesflare also has an app that you can use when your away from your computer and is really really awesome.
1. Campaigns
2. Opportunities
3. Zapier integration
4. Website tracking
5. Email tracking
Minpunten: This platform has everything that my small marketing agency needs to track and manage our sales process.

Excellent sales pipe line software
Craig M.
Opmerkingen: Salesflare has been an incredibly valuable tool for my sales process and my business. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Pluspunten: As a busy sales person in the field, it always feels like extra work when it comes to updating CRM-type data and keeping track of my sales pipeline; Salesflare has an excellent and easy to use process to keep track of this and keep everything flowing. Huge fan!
Minpunten: There could be a few more integrations to make automation more available, but so far I like it a lot!
Beoordeeld op 15-11-2018
The Gmail integration is very powerful!
Sahil A.
Opmerkingen: At the beginning, it looks like any other CRM but as we started using it, Salesflare is far better than others we have tried. The way it populates information automatically is magical!
Pluspunten: I love how Salesflare automatically picks up information from my email and populates that into the deal, along with syncing with calendar. This means we don't have to log meetings/notes manually and that saves a ton of time. Apart from that, their auto-enrichment of companies and people works like a charm. Once you get used to this new experience, there is no going back.
Minpunten: The search under "opportunities" can be made better from a UX perspective.

Salesflare Review
Boris A.
Opmerkingen: The overall experience is very positive
Pluspunten: Ease of use, intuitive interface, reliability and all main functionalities of a great CRM system
Minpunten: I couldn't find out yet how I can tag accounts according to my own classification. Perhaps this function does exist, but just couldn't discover how to do it yet.
Antwoord van de leverancier
van Salesflare op 12-9-2019
Hey Boris! Of course it's possible to tag accounts to classify them :-) Just hit edit and add a tag. Or if you like something even more organized, add a custom field type dropdown in "Settings > Customize fields".

Great CRM and Easy to Use
Jt B.
Opmerkingen: I started using it about 1.5 years ago, I would have to say its has been great as it helps me manage my sales funned and accounts.
Pluspunten: Salesflare has done a great job developing and optimizing the software. The recent updates/revisions that have been released have made it a tool that I cannot run my business without.
Minpunten: Some of the way the information can be shared has clunky - perhaps I need to take some time and learn more of the functionality.
Beoordeeld op 17-1-2019
An incredible CRM
Gourav M.
Opmerkingen: We love this Salesflare email tracking as it helped us with email tracking and saved lot's of money in email tracking solutions. Secondly, the manual data entry has been stopped after joining the Salesflare.
Pluspunten: We love Customer Support as CSR is always there to help us. And it has so many awesome features which will help you in saving money on cold email campaign tools.
Minpunten: We don't like the ever filling timeline when it's capturing even those irrelevant emails as such. Plus it's quite complicated to understand and manage accounts, contacts and opportunity. I wish if there's more native integrations.

Salesflare is a very decent and functional CRM that is amazing and will meet most people's needs.
Craige hardel -.
Opmerkingen: Notification on when the client receives my correspondences Multiple pipelines for multiple services - very cool
Pluspunten: Pros: Automated filling of records. Salesflare makes finding contact and account information easy with its technology and finds an fills relevant data including their social profile, company sizes, and email addresses Insights column: allows you to see and track your CRM and potential prospect numbers and finances Task notifications and Android mobile app: very well built app and task notifications including when someone opens your email came in pretty handy
Minpunten: There could be more automation. My use case was more advanced but I would have been nice to have lead scoring and the ability to reply to an email from CRM and even track emails from the app Ability to turn the automated importing of contacts off Ability to edit deals faster - it's decent but more could be done to improve the interface.

Great CRM Tool!
Damian R.
Pluspunten: What works well is the simplicity of using the app. It's easy to import leads from a variety of platforms, assign them to the appropriate team member and sales funnel. The system automatically updates all email communication and meetings. In addition you can add files to the contact record. It's ability to automatically detect information from the company website is also great.
Minpunten: The only downside we have found to this tool is that the percentage calculations used for the sales funnel conversions are not standard and not entirely useful.

Great CRM for sales-oriented teams
Mick M.
Simple to set up and to use, with no unnecessary features. Just focus on the sales and let Salesflare do its thing for logging and tracking.
- well integrated with the G Suite
- tracking of phone calls, notes, and follow-ups
- Zapier integration
- mobile apps - very helpful for logging tasks and tracking
Minpunten: I would prefer more advanced visualizations and reporting.

Great "Smart" CRM
Matt T.
Pluspunten: Eliminates a lot of manual work by automatically logging calls & emails. Very simple & easy to use. Can have leads automatically flow in from Zapier from my sources. Easy to log activity and updates to know who to follow up with. Swimlanes/stages give an excellent visual representation of pipeline.
Minpunten: Ran into a compatibility issue with Salesflare and a Gmail extension "MailTrack.io" I use to track email opens/clicks within Gmail. By using this at the same time I can't use Salesflare's mail & website tracking which would be more useful.

My grocery shopping and meal planning philosophies…go!
I'm lucky enough to live in New York City where we have Peapod, a grocery delivery service. I usually order about once a week, for delivery on Mondays. We subscribe to a service called PodPass, which is a program which charges us a quarterly fee but eliminates the per-order delivery charge. I get about 70 percent of our groceries from Peapod, but I'm not super psyched by their produce, so I also get another 15 percent of our food from brick and mortar stores like Fairway and Trader Joe's. Another 10 percent or so is from Costco (LOVE) and the other 5-ish percent is from our neighborhood bodega when I need like, one thing. Super expensive as it is, I try to really limit these last minute runs to the corner store.
I have a list of grocery items that I *always* seem to need. Peapod remembers my grocery orders for 6 months, which is great when I forget something but even better because I can shop items that I've purchased before that are currently on sale. Which brings me to my Sunday night meal planning session, in which I'm still working out the kinks. 🙂
I usually go from what's on sale first to what I make for the week. Sometimes I'll have something I need to use up (does anyone else have a serious cilantro problem?) or sometimes Andrew or I will have a serious craving (shrimp!) which influences meal planning, but usually I see what's on sale and work backwards.
Groceries I ALWAYS have on hand (this list doesn't include pantry staples like sugar, flour, olive oil – these are the building blocks of 9 to 5 Wife's success and sanity!) I buy tons of the below items when they're on sale and freeze if possible if I can't use them right away.
- frozen spinach – for everything
- refrigerated pie crusts – for chicken pot pies and quiches
- ham steaks – can be frozen! – for ham and potato soup, quiches, and breakfast muffins
- yellow onions and frozen chopped onions – so I give myself a chance to be authentic but also have backup for those overslept mornings
- white potatoes
- frozen fruit for smoothies
- plain Greek yogurt
- eggs
- English muffins for breakfast sandwiches
- shredded cheese of all kinds, especially mozzarella and cheddar
- chicken breasts – for use whole or to make shredded chicken for recipes
- flour tortillas large and small
- scallions (don't ask me why but they seem to be in EVERY recipe on Pinterest!)
- frozen carrots and peas – for chicken pot pies and soups
- light sour cream
- produce depending on the week but almost always cucumbers and tomatoes in season
- ricotta (I freeze this)
- oven-ready AND regular lasagna noodles
- pork tenderloins
- marinara sauce
- diced tomatoes
- tomato paste
- crushed tomatoes
- bacon – I prefer center cut
- Italian turkey sausage, hot and mild
- ground chicken
- ground turkey
- beef broth
- chicken broth – I buy this in cans, in cases from Costco and I am still ALWAYS OUT – grrrr!

Dotty is kinder and gentler now. And, so am I. Or is it, I am kinder and gentler and more understanding now; and, so is Dotty?
By Bob DeMarco
Alzheimer's Reading Room
Dotty woke up with a clear strong voice on Saturday morning. It reminded me of 20 years ago. She was smiling and talking and making comments.
As soon as she got to Harvey she was yakking away with him.
I had to laugh, and smile. I also thought, this is going to be a crazy day.
|Subscribe to the Alzheimer's Reading Room
It didn't take long. I went into the bathroom and when I came out I heard noises emanating from the kitchen. We have two entrances to our kitchen, so I went in behind Dotty where she couldn't see me. Much to my surprise she was cooking. I can't remember how long it has been since Dotty tried to cook something.
I noticed she had a small frying pan on the stove. This in spite of the fact that there was a bigger frying pan sitting on top of the stove.
After a few minutes she took out a spatula, like you use to flip an egg, and moved her "home fry" potatoes from the pan onto a tiny little plate. Why did she use a tiny little plate? The bigger plates are right next to the tiny plates.
Dotty had managed to cook home fries.
As Dotty took off for the kitchen table, I slid down to the other entrance. Holly mole- E, she carried the plate all the way to the table on her own, sat down and started eating.
I moved in to examine the mess. So far, I had not said a single word.
There was still a lot of oil in the frying pan. It appeared that she poured about 10 times the amount of oil you need to cook home fries into the frying pain. We had little drips of oil here and there.
Next I noticed she had stabbed the back of home fries right in the middle to get at the home fries for cooking. Put me in the WayBac machine right then and there. In the old days, when Dotty on a scavenger hunt for potato chips she would stab the chip bag right in the middle with a sharp knife to get at the chips. That use to "piss" me off. Not today.
I'm so surprised that Dotty went into the lower cabinet to find a frying pan, into the upper cabinet to find a dish, found the olive oil, went into the refrigerator on a scavenger hunt to find the home fries, stab the bag of home fries and threw a couple on handful so potatoes into the frying pan, turn the stove burner on, turned the stove burner off, moved the home fries from the pan to the dish, and picked up the dish and walked to the kitchen table on her own, that I couldn't do much but smile, and think, this is gonna be a rough day.
I finally ask Dotty, did you cook those potatoes enough? She answers, yes. They look about half way there to me, I think. I ask, how do they taste? Dotty responds, delicious. Good enough for me.
I then ask, why didn't you ask me to cook them? Dotty responds, what am I a baby? This brings a good hearty laugh out of me. I then say, well that is the first time you cooked in a long time. Dotty then informs me she cooks all the time. Alright - y.
You'll notice I didn't say a word while Dotty was cooking. I just watched to make sure we would still have a place to live when she was done.
In the old days, I would have jumped in, told Dotty she was not doing it right, and then watched my little penguin scurry off into her bedroom. Leaving me with a stomach ache and feeling confused. Confused about what the "hell" was wrong with me.
During the day, Dotty was on the hunt, the scavenger hunt for food. She moved herself around quite a bit. She was pretty communicative for most of the day.
During the day I thought to myself, the old days were a lot harder then they are right now. Now, I have to assist Dotty everytime she gets up and every time I have to take her to the toilet. She can't walk on her own unless she can hold on to something as she goes from wall to chair to wall. If she can't grab on to something she calls out, YouWHO anybody home? When I get there I ask, what happened? She tells me, I can't move. I ask why not? She says, my feet won't go. I ask, how did you get this far? She answers, I don't know. I assist her.
Helping Dotty now is a lot of work. All day long work. But no where near as taxing as when she was mean and nasty.
Dotty is kinder and gentler now. And, so am I.
Or is it, I am kinder and gentler and more understanding now; and, so is Dotty?
I leave it for you to decide.
So for a small period of time Dotty came out of the "deep forget". I forgot what it use to be like in the old days, and then I remembered.
I wish Dotty could still cook.

Receiving Job Vacancies In Nigeria
Persons around the world are attempting to money-in on the new arena of job availability – the online. Excellent to get a job App has worked for me if you are critical about a job there's alot you have to sort by way of ,but the organizations that are hiring and are severe do attain out theres alot of temp solutions wanting this that and the other but if u got the time this apps for you. Check out valuable strategies on job search sites like They have a wealth of interview strategies, useful resume information, job sources, listings of corporations that are hiring, and a breakdown of jobs in a wide variety of industries. If you interested in government jobs then you can choose the job search engines which particularly offers the list of the government jobs.
I like making use of this app because it saves me a lot of time when job searching getting in a position to merely push a button and send my expert resume to various employers. So for these who are seeking out for jobs in engineering, right here are a couple of ways in which you can come across a job that suits your unique region of engineering.
Because we are living in a techno world, businesses have turned to the web to advertise and seek out prospects to fill their positions, and they do this through job search web-sites. Issue with the app and the mobile web site is the the lack of filter possibilities such as 'no recruiters' this is genuinely critical to find direct employers and only the desktop web page has these possibilities. From search to apply, Indeed's Job Search app assists you through the whole approach of locating a new job.
Excellent app Ive been working with certainly for a though now and although its fantastic for applying for jobs and saving your cv to, I under no circumstances get any phone calls asking me about my job scenario. Then print out the job applications for these businesses and take them to the career fair along with your resume. If you are going to be profitable in your on-line job search, you need a leg up on your competitors.
No a single would challenge that, but it does not enable you basically get a job and if you are a college leaver and you want a job you have to take the initiative for yourself. I have located this app and web site to be quick to use with much more final results that other people I have tried. They may possibly provide a resume and cover letter assistant – this enables you to have your resume and cover letter graded by a skilled, who can deliver strategies on how to make it greater. These days with the web technology there are much better methods of having a job.

It only takes a spark-2
Verse 1 It only takes a spark, to get a fire going. And soon all those around, can warm up it it's glowing. Chorus: That's how it is with God's love, once you've experienced it, it's fresh like spring, you want to sing, you want to pass it on. Verse 2 What a wondrous time is Spring When all the trees are budding. The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming. Chorus: Verse 3 I wish for you my friend this happiness that I've found You can depend on him It matters not where your bound. Last chorus: I'll shout it from the mountain tops I want the world to know The Lord of Life has come to me I want to pass it on.

Visual Pedestrian Analysis
There are strong constituencies who want to improve the bike and pedestrian environment. But of all the options for doing that, which ones offer the most return on investment? Benefits include improved safety, more direct paths, protected paths, reduced waits at traffic signals, and also qualitative features such as better shade and more visually interesting environments - and ultimately it is about attracting more users.
Metro Analytics coordinates with Transpo, the makers of Viacity, to develop maps and charts showing the combined benefits so you can see who benefits from various scenarios, and pick good projects that best target your values.
This graphic is a pedestrian analysis showing the improvement to the pedestrian environment that would occur on Logan's Main Street corridor if they converted from what would be two parallel 5-lane highways that both have two-way flow, to two 3-lane highways that each have one-way flow.
This graphic shows before and after pedestrian improvements combined with a view of the density of each parcel, so you can easily see if the benefits are targeting the most intense development.
