Coleslaw
Published on April 14th, 2009.
When I was still working back home, my friend always brings me coleslaw because she knows that I like it. I asked her to give me her ingredients so that I will try to make this salad at home.
Ingredients:
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup shredded carrots.
1 cup pineapple tidbits
¾ cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sugar
½ cup raisins
1 teaspoon salt
Mix the vegetables. Drain pineapple tidbits. Add them to the mixture together with the remaining ingredients. Mix lightly and then chill until ready to serve.

Two-Tone or Multi-Colored Shoes
Published on April 11th, 2009.
We are used to the traditional one-color shoes which may sometimes be boring at some point. So here’s the latest in fashion where two or more colors are mixed together in one pair of shoes, such as creating contrasting colors for the straps and the heels. It is more about the colors that may match not only plain tops but even goes well with colored blouses or shirts. The trick is to make a perfect mix and match!
The Belayers
Published on April 7th, 2009.
I have high respect for brave men and women who climb rugged mountain peaks. They have to take serious precautions as they scale sheer cliffs. One safety feature is a line that’s always connected to a person below, who is called the “belayer.” If the climber loses his balance or falls, the belayer holds him securely until he can regain his footing and continue his ascent or descent. Thus, “to belay” is to anchor, to hold seurely, to keep safe.

The Opposite Is True
Published on April 4th, 2009.
Western Mivhigan is plagued by snowy winters, requiring that salt be put on road surfaces to make them safer to travel. The problem is that salt eats away at a car’s metal body. So, going to a car wash is a frequent winter ritual.
Recently I was sitting in a car-wash facility near the end of the washing process when the machines began to spray a special liquid all over the car. The sign said “drying agent,”
But that struck me as odd. Wetting something down to dry it seems contrary to what you’d expect. Yet that is precisely what those chemicals are designed to do. It is counter-intuitive thinking.
