9 ways to use recipes for language learning
"What to do?" "What to do?"
English and foreign language teachers are often in a quandary for simple but effective class room activities. You and your language learners have to eat don't you? Well, to help get you started, briefly here are some useful ways to use recipes for foreign language learning you might want to consider and a brief look at each:
o Making a recipe preparation video
If there was ever a great way to incorporate multiple intelligences and application of multi-media into foreign language learning, then this is it. You guide your language learners in preparing a short step-by-step video of preparing a simple recipe.
o Creating a recipe poster with images
For a much more low-tech approach, why not consider having your language learners make a poster showing how a simple recipe is prepared. They can include pictures of the preparation process and the finished recipe too.
o Narrating a recipe preparation
This is yet other method very easy to use for the recipes of contact for the acquisition of language. Students tell only the process into a microphone, recording the process of production requirement as an audio file into a tape recorder, PC or laptop.
Or write a new recipe in different ways
The foreign language teacher can dictate a simple recipe for students to write. Production can then correct the class or version are available online. Dictation addressesthe foreign language learners' writing ability as well as their listening comprehension skills.
o Shooting digital images of a recipe in preparation
To get a good series of images for preparing a recipe, foreign language learners absolutely must understand the preparation steps and how ingredients are combined. Photographing the recipe preparation process will help organize the steps and process in their minds as well as provide them with picture image "manipulatives" or realia they can physically handle or manipulate during the organization process.
o Focusing on the use of a particular ingredient in the preparation of different recipes
Take a commonly used ingredient like onions or tomatoes and ask your language learners about other recipes which use that particular ingredient. Can you make juice, pastries or desserts with it? How about soup or salad?
o Preparation of simple, basic recipes in class
Language learners just love this one. You have them select and prepare a very simple, basic recipe in class while explaining the process aloud. The recipe need not be anything fancy or special - just edible.
o Having English language learners bring prepared dishes to class and explain their ingredients and preparation
This is yet another variation on simple recipe preparation. Language learners being basic ingredients to class, then prepare their offering for all to sample. A peanut butter and jelly Sandwich, Hot Dogs or a cookie sandwich hors d'oeuvres will do the trick well.
or posting videos, writing stories and recipes online
Another concept that needs to be able to include or language student recipes online. This could be the blog of the school, student newspaper or as an article online posting one of hundreds of free article banks online. You choose, but choose wisely, grasshopper.
Ways of recipes for the languageLearning
So there you have it, nine ways to use the recipes and ingredients for their learning English or other foreign languages. Why not choose one or two and put it on a possible use in your classroom learning early?

Best Time Management Tips - Part 4
"Walk and Talk" - I have been famous for this technique at virtually every place of business I've ever worked at. People think they have to stop moving to talk - these are the same people who can't walk and chew gum at the same time. Now that may sound funny, but notice how many people have to sit down to have a conversation or totally stop in their tracks when someone starts to talk to them. You will see this all the time.
I love this technique because it costs me no extra time to have the conversation and the conversation is kept brief because I have a ready excuse at my place of destination to cut the conversation short. People also understand intuitively that if they are "walking and talking" they had better get to the point quick because very likely it's a short walk. This technique has saved me gobs of time and has taught my staff to take my time very seriously, to be brief and succinct, and to think through what they're going to say thoroughly before approaching me.
Education - Education is a great time-saver! If you research a good field and get through college in a timely fashion - you can do very well - Particularly in the Business fields. Expertise in specialized areas can be highly valued. On average a college grade (with masters) will earn almost double the income of a High School grad in his/her lifetime!
Education is a great time-saver ... If done right! Remember, some degrees and forms of education create greater income and save you major time! Others degrees and forms of education can waste time and money! Watch out! A college education doesn't always pay for itself based on the alternative ... It typically does ... But there are "holes" in the system. Getting a doctoral degree in English Literature so you can be a Manager at Blockbusters - and make ½ of what the 19 year old "Hooters" Girl who serves you your beer after work is making - is not the best use of your time ... and not a good financial plan. In each industry you can get paid more to do some things with the same degree than others. I switched from Counseling clients to teaching psychology at local Universities and more than tippled my income! Nurses and bartenders/waitresses make great incomes (well above average) with 0-2 years of training. Most government jobs give full pensions ... Freeing you form many extra years of saving to retire with the same amount. Check career guides to see who earns what, how much education is required (and other requirements, i.e., licensure, etc.), current and future demand, and opportunities for advancement.
Also see if you can boost your income, or get a promotion, by doing some additional training in your field. Remember, some training only takes a few days, not years. It only took me a couple of weeks to become fairly expert in real estate and real estate financing. I then bought and sold multiple properties. Many people have similar tales. Minimally, this extra training will put you in a good light with your boss, for starters.
And, as always, keep doing your own personal development training going on the side. This kind of continuous self-improvement reaps huge benefits over time that can snowball and make a huge difference.
15 minute lunches - Eating lunch only takes 5-10 minutes - what takes an hour or so is driving or walking back and forth to the restaurant, waiting for the waiter/waitress (*notice that the root word of their name is - "wait!" Coincidence? I think not!), placing your order, waiting on your order, waiting for the check and deciding on how much you should tip for all this waiting! If each meal (with tip) costs $9.00, you spend $2,250.00 per year on this habit (enough for the average individual to retire on nicely over the course of their career) and lose over 185 hours per year or 1 months work per year! Wow!
Personally, I have always brought my lunch bucket to work filled with wonderful treats my loving wife makes me (and prior to that I used to make one heck of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!). I still go out for lunch occasionally, but as a treat or to do some business ... this comes up often enough to keep me happy (and well fed).
I also found that if I went to lunch with co-workers, they would spend the whole time complaining, worrying or talking about junk I didn't want or need to hear about. And I hang out with pretty positive people ... what is it about lunch that brings this out in people (they are much more optimistic over dinner!)?
Networking - Few people fully realize that a good network of contacts can take years off meeting your financial/career goals and can bring benefits you haven't even thought of yet, but will be glad you have when the time comes. There is a huge population of people out there who have made their fortunes from networking effectively.
Examine your own life, I'll bet you owe the bulk of everything you have, and everything you are, to a small number of influential people that you can easily count on one hand. Although everyone likes to think they can do it on their own - we can't. The reality is that we are not Independent - we are Interdependent. It is our interdependence that makes us strong, and good people help us to grow and build our strengths. I would not want to be independent if I could. Why would I want to cut that many good people out of my life?
In actuality, most people are successful in direct one to one proportion to how many people know them, and like them. Likeability is huge!. We like to do business with people we like, we help people we like, we hire people we like, promote people we like and give breaks to people we like. Get the idea? The list goes on and on.
Networking helps us to realize what opportunities are out there and gives us the opportunity to help people and advance in ways we would never have thought of. Being good isn't enough when your network is limited. Think of a limited network, as limited options. Get good at networking, or get good at going through life trying to live off the scraps instead of living in abundance.
Nobody teaches us how to network - but it is a key life skill. This is a case where others are not excluding you - you are! Get in their and just be yourself, draw on what is best in you, come to serve, and you will do great!
Look, you could write an entire book on how to network, but my goal is simply to give you a sense of how important this area is and point you in the right direction. Get out there and get some books on networking and the time spent studying them will come back to you a thousand fold.
That's it for now ... but look for more soon!

New Diet Program Works Even If You Don't Follow It
Yesterday, I became aware of a hot new diet program called "AFD." Now, I don't need it, because I've already lost 60 pounds the old fashioned way, by putting less food in my mouth than I used to, getting some daily exercise, and taking some of my own brand of supplements.
But you need not worry about these things yourself, because the new AFD Diet works, even if you don't follow it. And what could be easier than that? (Hefting Jello shooters might come to mind.) This new diet is simply too good to be true.
In Week 1, you get to drench all your food in butter...or pork fat.It doesn't matter what it is...it could be Cheeto's dunked in pork fat...or an Elvis sandwich dunked in butter.
Now y'all remember the Elvis. It was a whole loaf of pullman bread, filled with peanut butter and jelly and then stuffed with a pound of bacon, which was then fried on the grill, on all sides, in butter. Elvis once flew his entire entourage to Denver, picked up 50 of the sandwiches and then flew back to Graceland.
In Week 2, you get giant pancakes and sausage biscuits, with any kind of hash you like, and they serve it on huge platters, with donuts to mop up everything. You can drink Cokes till the cows come home and there are candy bars to keep your energy levels up all the time.
In Week 3, you get Pizza any time you like and it's none of that thin style Cali-Forn-Ya stuff. No sirreebob, it's all Chicago style, deep dish extravaganza and there are at least 100 toppings, including foie gras and caviar. Beer is the beverage of the week and it comes in Oktoberfest mugs, which hold about a gallon.
In Week 4, it's fried everything. You name it...if you can fry it...you can eat it. The highlight of the week is burgers from a joint in Memphis, where they deep fry your burgers in grease that hasn't been changed in 80 some years. You just haven't lived, until you've had one of these. The dessert highlight is fried Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. Any cheesecake they make can be fried in beer batter.
From Week 5 on, it's just rinse and repeat. The extra weight you've been carrying will just fall off as you gorge yourself and sleep off each meal. By the end of Week 7 or 8, you should be down 30 pounds or so.
Some wiseacre just had to ask what AFD stood for.
April Fool's Day.
Because we all know that no diet can be successful if you just keep doing what you've always done.
Losing weight...and getting fit and healthy, requires that you make some new lifestyle changes. I've always recommended you take one step at a time and gradually phase out the bad choices, in favor of good ones.
Then...before you know it...you have started losing unwanted poundage. And believe me, nobody really wants to carry around that extra flubber, in spite of protestations to the contrary.
Start by getting my Powerhouse Omega Formula. Then start taking it. It will help you start moving the sludge in your bloodstream out the door. Then stop drinking soda, or eating snack food. Do one thing to help yourself every week and in three months, you'll have dropped some weight, without a lot of effort.
Then keep going. And every once in a while, treat yourself to one of your old favorites. (Once in a month.) You're going to get a surprise sometimes...some of that stuff just doesn't taste that good, after you give it up.
Just don't let me catch you eating an Elvis sandwich.

Camping Kitchens - How to Put it All Together
Putting together your camping cookware is not hard at all. It simply depends, first of all, on what you are planning for a menu. Most of the time you will include a couple of pots, a skillet, a bowl for mixing and general cooking utensils like spoons, spatulas, knives and forks. You'll also want to bring a wooden spoon, a whisk, a can opener and a set of hot pads or leather gloves to handle hot items off the stove or near the fire.
A good sharp knife is a must as well as something to use as a cutting board. If you are planning to grill, you should have a grate to put over the fire. Some campgrounds or tent camping areas have fire pits with grills, but you can't count on it. Cast iron cookware has been one of the choices for cooking over an open fire for centuries, and it is practically indestructible. As far as any other cookware to use on your cook stove, use whatever you are comfortable using at home. Food prepared in a campsite always tastes better than at home, so be creative and enjoy the open air and robust appetites that camping provides.
Don't forget to bring the usual spices, as well as things like peanut butter, jelly, honey and cheese spreads. Zip lock bags work well for storing almost anything and are perfect for keeping small items sealed and clean, as well as protecting the inside of your backpack. Use a separate sack for you utensils and your cookware. After you have used the pots on you stove or over the fire, they have a tendency to get covered with soot, so the sacks keep them from soiling your backpack as well as anything they touch.
Plates, drinking cups and eating utensils should be as light and multi-functional as possible. Spoons can take the place of forks so leave the forks at home and everyone should carry a pocketknife so there's no need to pack knives for eating. If each person has a drinking cup and a deep-sided plastic plate that doubles as a bowl, you've got everything you need.

Robot Rage Hack - Cheatengine 5.4
Just me hacking Robot rage. Songs were peanut butter jelly time and southpark intro on the guitar. I never really harmed any robots. I'm not like the other hackers who hacked the highscore list.
Digital Photography is to Scrapbooking as Peanut Butter is to Jelly
If ever two hobbies were made for each other, its digital photography and scrapbooking.
In case you haven't discovered this wonderful hobby yet, scrapbooking has no similarity to the scrapbooks you made in school .. how many years ago?
Today's scrapbookers, often called scrapartists, create beautiful memory albums using photographs and other memorabilia, card stock, paper, journaling and special embellishments. Digital scrapbooking, an exciting new trend in the scrapbooking world, involves creating the entire layout digitally and printing onto appropriate paper.
Whether you do traditional scrapbooking or you're trying your hand at digital scrapbooking, you'll find so many fun things to do with your digital photographs.
Let's start with the pictures themselves. First of all, since you're not paying for film or development, you can take tons of digital photographs. You can experiment with different camera settings and get different effects. You'll have so many picture choices when you start to plan your layouts. No more trying to make a less than thrilling photograph work with your beautiful layout design.
Even more exciting, because you're working with digital files, you work with copies and never risk damaging the originals.
Secondly, with digital photography and good digital photo editing software, you can resize, crop, improve the color, create special effects, combine photos together to form a collage, remove blemishes from your subject's skin, tidy up stray strands of hair, make subjects appear slimmer and so much more.
You can convert color photographs to elegant black and white, or you can convert your digital photography to any number of monochrome color tones. You can convert your images to match any color paper, card stock or embellishments you plan on using.
You can resize your pictures so they fit any size layout you have in mind. You can reshape them to print into any number of shapes, including stars, circles, ovals, rectangles, squares, or even freeform shapes. You can even make giant alphabets and insert your pictures into the letters, arranging so the key components are visible within the letter.
You can add digital frames and blocks, using the exact colors that appear in the picture. If you wish, you can fill your frames with a repeating portion of the image. For example, highlight your garden picture with a frame containing a pattern created from the golden sunflowers growing in the flower bed.
If you want to take artistic license, you can duplicate any portion of an image. For example, suppose your seacape shows a sailboat in the foreground. With digital image editing software, you can make a second, third, fourth (or unlimited number) of identical sailboats elsewhere in the water.
When you blend digital photography with scrapbooking, you can manipulate your images to work with any scrapbook style you're using -- shabby chic, distressed, modern, heritage - anything you want.
As I said earlier, digital scrapbooking and digital photography make a natural fit.

The Peanut Butter and Jelly Selling Strategy
Every business should follow a proven selling process, consistently. It could be as simple as following my award winning triple decker peanut butter and jelly sandwich recipe.
Bread = Three slices of important customer's issues, concerns and pain points.
Peanut Butter = Unique solution blend that resolves the customer's problems.
Jelly = The sweet benefits that come from investing in the complete solution.
When working with customers and prospects, we should seek out the three highest priorities and challenges our customers have. This is the bread we want to add our special blend of solutions and resolve these challenges. Once we have this understanding, we can apply our sweet nectar of benefits. This will entice clients to enjoy our creation.
Success Comes In Three's
You will notice that my recipe calls for three slices. Why three, because two just doesn't do it. We must find three issues customers have challenges with. The stronger the challenges or pain points, the greater our solution will stick like peanut butter. Customers and prospects are more likely to make a change and adopt our solution when you have three reasons for them.
You will notice the recipe calls for a unique solution blend. Customizing and personalizing your solution to match the customer's needs is critical. We should also package our solution so it is ideally suited to the customer's challenges. Unique, means special and only available from you. If it isn't unique, it can be acquired at another source. When you are spreading your solution, make it stick and put it on the three slices.
Follow the Right Sequence
When you make this delicacy, find the pain points and problems first. This is the foundation you will build on. Next, apply your solution and finish with the benefits.
If you're really making a sandwich, use the back side of a soup spoon to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. It is faster and easier than a kitchen knife. I prefer to put the peanut butter on first and then boysenberry jelly with all the seeds. If I do this in reverse, the peanut butter won't stick to the bread and creates a mess. When the peanut butter attaches itself to the bread, it sticks and creates a solid foundation for sweet jelly.
