 So playing the trombone wasn't getting me in enough trouble? |

| Habits are hard to break, but it's even harder to establish new, healthy, and beneficial habits. I've gotten over the bad habit of flipping off aggressive drivers; in the present craziness climate, it's better to just let'em go. I'll still slow down on a highway if someone drives up my tailpipe. But there is a sound reason behind that, since the tailgating driver is tight on my rear, I need to allow time for a longer stopping distance, which means more room in front of me. Now we aren't talking about me doing 45 in a 60 MPH zone. I'd more likely be hitting somewhere around 65 - 70. (unless Lennie's in the car, then we're locked in at 65). A good habit I share freely: Knife handles should never be submerged in the dishwater. Two reasons for that: first, on many quality knives, the handles are wood; submerge them in water, and the wooden handle soaks up water. The second, more important reason? If the entire knife is submerged in suds, you can't see it. Reach into the soapy water to pick something up, and you might get a handful of blades! Ouch!! Better, if you use a dishpan, put the knives in the sink, alongside, and dip them in the pan. Or, put them in a small pot of soapy water, with the handles sticking up. Yeah, this one is based on experience. One habit I'm trying to establish is completing the streaks, not so much for the badges, as it might help with the discipline of time management. Specific tasks, every day, just like my time at work. Thinking up blogging topics every day is weird. I blog when the spirit moves me, but now I have to think about it. I'm doing okay with the Cook Once, Eat Twice plan. I made Quick and Easy Chicken Quesadillas, which will get us through two suppers. All that's left to do is make the actual Quesadillas on the George Forman Quesadilla Maker. You can find this fast recipe here "Quick and Easy Quesadillas"  |
