In the fall, soups are warm and cozy … just what we all need going into winter. There are still plenty of veggies to gather for a hearty pot of goodness that is as healthful as it is delicious. Such as sweet potatoes – full of beta-carotene, fiber and vitamin c, they are a great food for fighting off colds. This particular soup recipe is vegan, but if you would like to include meat, adding a pancetta or bacon sautéed before you add vegetables will give it a ton of flavor. If you don’t mind a little heat, adding a teaspoon of red pepper flakes won’t overwhelm the soup and add a little zing.
According to the Pareto principle, 80 percent of consequences come from 20 percent of causes. A formula frequently used to identify an organization’s problems and strengths, it is also the guiding principle behind the notion that most of the time, women only wear about 20 percent of the clothing items in their closets. Of course, that means 80 percent of what is in our closets goes unused.
Addiction to drugs or alcohol has no boundaries. It has touched the lives of many people in one way or another, destroyed relationships and torn families apart. But there are many people who successfully recover from the disease of addiction and move on to lead happy, healthy and successful lives.
My personal interior design style is inspired by many factors. I gravitate toward peaceful art with soft colors, textures of fringe, warm leathers, mixing patterns and warm woods against airy backgrounds. If possible, I also love to make the interior space complement the home’s exterior style, its age and setting. I like the choices inside to reflect the overall character of the home. For example, you would feel surprised and confused if you walked into a cute bungalow that had charming details on the outside and modern, simplistic or sleek finishes on the inside. I would want to bring that outside feeling indoors.
This season, clothing trends and styles for kids are both basic and unique! For example, grade-schoolers will love graphic tees and jeans with embroidery or patches which can be new and trendy. However, as always, kid’s clothing for this age group needs to withstand quite a bit of wear and tear! With this in mind, we recommend sticking to cotton T-shirts and classic jeans that won’t break the bank when they need to be replaced, especially with the speed at which kids grow out of things.
When Billy Durant took a call from Ben Briscoe, President of the Maxwell-Briscoe Company, a chain reaction started that has yet to end. That simple conversation and the in-person meeting that followed at Buick planted the seed of consolidation in Durant’s mind that would lead to the formation of General Motors and the triumph of Flint.
The title of a musical from the early 1960s called “Stop the World, I Want to Get Off,” referred to a time in life when everything seemed chaotic and going too fast. While I don’t really want to get off the world, I am genuinely concerned over the speed with which things are getting out of control today – especially technology, national politics, climate change and the economy, to name a few.
With inflation slowing to 3.1% as of writing this column, Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve are likely to get credit for taming the 40-year high inflation we have experienced over the last couple years. Similarly, Paul Volker and the Federal Reserve of the early 1980s got credit for “breaking the back” of the 1970s inflation. What this ignores is that the Federal Reserve created the 1970s inflation, just like they created the more recent inflation. Crediting the Fed for “fixing” inflation means crediting them for fixing a problem they themselves created.
Any time you drive a car in a foreign country, it’s a gamble. It can either be easy, straightforward and enjoyable, or absolutely disastrous.
Since the beginning of civilization, people have been telling, writing and enjoying stories. Dramas, comedies, mysteries, epic poems and more have entranced us with dreams beyond our tangible world. We all have memories from our earliest days of parents or teachers reading the simplest books to us while our eyes grew in wonder at the characters and colorful pictures. Classic children’s books such as The Poky Little Puppy, Where the Wild Things Are, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day and countless others got us interested (and many of us hooked) on the tales crafted by our storytellers.
