How to Make Potato Salad with Lemon Dressing

http://99thingsyouwishyouknew.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/0f977_how_to_make_2413491569_cbbb62d88e.jpg

Check out these how to make images:


How to Make Potato Salad with Lemon Dressing

Salad Potato Lemon Dressing How to Make Potato Salad with Lemon Dressing



Image by startcooking kathy & amandine

* 2 pounds of new potatoes

* 3 teaspoons of salt – divided

* 1 clove of garlic – crushed

* 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper

* 2 teaspoons of grainy mustard

* 1 lemon zest

* 1/4 cup of lemon juice

* 1/4 cup of olive oil

* 1/3 cup of green onions – chopped


Place the small, new potatoes, whole, in a saucepan with enough boiling water just to cover them. Add 2 teaspoons of the salt, bring to a boil and then simmer them for about 12- 15 minutes or until tender.


Meanwhile make the vinaigrette. Crush the garlic and add the remaining teaspoon of the salt, and the black pepper. With the back of a spoon, mash the salt and garlic together. Remove the zest from one lemon and add it to the bowl. Gradually whisk in the fresh lemon juice and olive oil. Set aside.


Chop the green onion and set aside until ready to serve.


When the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and spill them out onto a cutting board. Cut potatoes in half (or bite size). Put the potatoes into a large flat dish and pour on the vinaigrette dressing while they are still hot. Gently toss them around in the dressing and let them sit for a few minutes in order to absorb the dressing. Put the potatoes into a decorative serving dish and scatter the green onions and on top. Serve warm or at room temperature.

What is a vision board?


A vision board is a Visual blueprint of your life!


Do you believe that life just happens to you?


Or do you believe that you are in full control of your destiny.


It is very simple…


YOU envision your success,


YOU focus on your success,


and


YOU will have your success.


FOCUS is Key!


The only way to stay focussed is to plan.


Your vision board clarifies your dreams and transforms them into reality. It puts you out there by making your dreams visible to you and the world on a daily basis. We spend so much of our lives trying to conform to what other people think we should be. Break through that barrier by putting everything you truly want on your Vision board.


Putting all your dreams and aspirations for your friends and family to see will keep you on the right path every time.


Why a vision board?


All our lives we imagine the things we want to achieve. The person you want to become, the luxuries, the houses, the amazing life experiences you want to have. It is all about taking the invisible and making it real.


A vision board allows you to become your own mentor. A mentor is someone who guides you in the right direction. Who doesn’t let you play the role of the victim and who tells you to stop with the stories to why you can’t have what you want; and to just to pick yourself up and do it.


For example, anytime I feel upset, annoyed, frustrated or angry. I look to my vision board to put me back in perspective and to re-focus. It reminds me of all the good qualities that I envision myself having. And If I’m not living life to my own standards, then I’m lying to myself. And the thought of being a talker instead of a doer changes my state for the better every single time.


Why is it when we focus on something, it almost always happens. The reason is we live life on a conscious and sub-conscious level. Our sub-conscious works under the radar, always looking for ways to achieve our goals and true intentions whether they are good or bad. And our conscious is the higher part of ourselves that focuses on the present moment.


Think of your conscious and sub-conscious as the hardware of a computer. The computer will only perform as well as the software that is installed on it. Now think of the vision board as your empowering software. By reading your vision board out loud.


YOU are programming your conscious and subconscious thoughts with positive, inspirational software.


THE FACT IS… “WORDS ARE POWER!”


When you read out loud all the positive things on your vision board, you are programming your conscious and subconscious for success.


You are telling the universe to attract all the good things you want in life and you decide to choose positive energy over negative energy.


You are erasing the negative, disempowering thoughts and feelings from your sub-conscious and replacing them with positive energy.


The Key is to read it OUT LOUD!


If you are afraid that someone is going to hear you, talk even louder! Breaking out of the fear of what other people think will empower you. Seeing and verbalizing what you want plants the seeds and draws your goals closer to you every day.


When does a vision board not work?


When it is so boring and tedious to make, you procrastinate so much that it never gets done. Or you do finish it; but the board is so boring to look at that it does not ignite any drive in you. It is just a bunch of paper cut outs on a cork board.


It does not work when there is no emotional content. We live life through our emotions. The quality of our life is in direct proportion to how we feel on a daily basis. Without powerful quotes or stories to read, the vision board becomes impersonal and boring.


A Board full of materialistic things is not inspirational. A picture is only inspirational when you attach an emotion or story to it.


A vision board does not work when you are uncomfortable displaying it. Most people keep their vision boards in their private office or on the computer so no one else can see it.


Again it comes down to putting yourself out there for the world to see and being proud of your dreams.


A vision board does not work when you do not believe in the power of intention. Changing your negative programming is key. If you believe your life is controlled by other people and life is too hard, it will be!


But if you believe you will live an amazing life, you will!


Ask yourself right now, does your vision board inspire you? Or do you only look at it when you are bored?


If you don’t train to believe in yourself, nothing in this world can help you. It starts with imagining the person you want to become and focusing on it every single day.


Be honest with yourself…


Are you truly happy and fufilled? Or are you sitting and waiting for someone or something to create that for you. Start living the life you want, instead of focusing on what you don’t want.


Create a vision board for yourself as a means to keep focused, motivated and excited about your life. Sometimes we forget how fortunate we are to live in a country with so much opportunity. It saddens me to see people day in and day out unhappy with their life. Complaining and whining about their story to why they can’t achieve.


Give up your story!


Everybody has that negative voice which tells you all these stories and reasons to why you can not have what you want.


No one says you have to listen to that negative voice that holds you back. Yes it is there to protect you, but don’t let it run your life. Be conscious enough to realize that you control your thoughts and reactions.


Use that negative voice and turn it into the fire you need to change. It’s been said so many times, “comfort kills”. When you are comfortable and safe, you stop growing as a person.


Being uncomfortable is exactly where I love to be!


I develop so much faster at anything once I feel uncomfortable. My mind forces me to keep doing whatever it is I am focusing on so that I don’t feel uncomfortable anymore. Once I feel comfortable doing it, I’m on to the next challenge. The whole cycle repeats it self and I begin to develop exponentially.


Step out of the comfort zone and start pursuing your dreams. Sometimes your dreams are totally unreasonable. But whether it makes sense or not, it is something you need to do to be fulfilled. Don’t waste the next 30 years of your life wishing you can have your dreams. Step up and just go for it and live your life with no regrets.


I’m not here to preach to you. But what I want you to realize is how powerful you can be if you focus on yourself and what you truly desire in life. Be courageous and step out of your comfort zone.


Know no matter what happens in the next 30 years; You will look back at your life with no regrets and pass on a legacy which will inspire your family and friends to pursue their own dreams.


All the best

Egg whites generally give crispness and dryness to the final texture of baking goods. Egg yolks contain most of the egg’s fat, so they contribute richness and a softer, cakier texture.

Tallahassee Officials Outraged Over Forbes’ Article

Forbes Magazine online article ranks Tallahassee as America’s 8th-most dangerous city.


Posted: 10:40 PM Oct 5, 2011

Reporter: Gary Parker

Email Address: gary.parker@wctv.tv


www.wctv.tv/news/headlines/Tallahassee_Officials_Outraged…


Tallahassee, FL — October 5, 2011 –


Can the most livable city also be one of the most dangerous? That’s what a new Forbes magazine article is saying about Tallahassee.


"This is outlandish," Tallahassee Police Chief Dennis Jones says. "It’s a slap in the face to this community."


Jones is one of many leaders angry at Forbes magazine.


Forbes released an online article listing Tallahassee as the country’s 8th most dangerous city.


This coming the same year Tallahassee was named the country’s "most livable city" by the U.S. Conference of Mayors.


Now bad press Jones says may soil its image.


"There is significant concern among our community leaders and as well as our businesses that real damage has been done."


Mayor John Marks says Forbes misused the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report data in its article.


"Those statistics simply say you should not use this information when talking about ranking cities."


Marks says Forbes also used crime data from Tallahassee’s entire metropolitin area. That he says includes Leon, Gadsden, Wakulla and Jefferson County.


"Some of the cities in this statistical area are at least 50 miles away."


Marks urges Tallahassee residents to read the article and voice their opinions to Forbes.


——————————


Statement from Mayor John Marks:


Tallahassee is a top 10 city, but not in crime. We’ve been named one of the most livable cities in the world, we’ve been proclaimed one of the most desirable places to do business, and we’re one of the least expensive and best places to retire in the U.S.


Several of the major flaws in this ludicrous interpretation by Forbes, includes evaluating Tallahassee by including the entire metropolitan statistical area, that includes four counties, 19 cities and towns that span from Chattahoochee to Monticello. If you look at the City of Tallahassee by itself, we average 8 homicides a year. Other cities have 8 a weekend.


People who live in Tallahassee and Leon County know this is simply not true, it is outrageous and it is ridiculous. This afternoon I took part in a conference call with local business, community and government leaders, all of whom are outraged and also concerned about the impact of this on line publication and how the rest of the country views our city.


I personally called the Forbes Executive Editor – Dan Bigman – this afternoon to express my outrage. During our conversation, he agreed to make changes that clarify that this online article referred to the MSA. Mr. Bigman agreed to also include comments on line that I am sending to him and clarified that this article would not be included in the print edition of Forbes Magazine. I hope that every person in our community will take this personally and to go online to Forbes Magazine and let them know this story does not accurately reflect our community or its citizens.


Latest Comments


Posted by: I agree with the Forbes article on Oct 6, 2011 at 08:00 AM


Based on the population of the greater Tallahassee area we have a much higher crime rate than the majority of metros in the country. The last 5-6 years the number of violent crimes in Leon County has gone up drastically. When I moved to Tallahassee in the middle 90s violent crimes were reported weekly not two and three per day. The Mayor is attempting damage control, as he should, but he can’t deny that our area isn’t a safe haven.

KITCHEN Q&A


How do you bake a crisp cookie?


Posted on Thursday, 10.04.12


BY KATHLEEN PURVIS

THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER


www.miamiherald.com/2012/10/04/3030954/how-do-you-bake-a-…


Q. We like crisp cookies, so I set out on a quest to find out what makes them crisp. One of the suggestions on a baking website was to use egg yolks instead of the whole egg. If the recipe calls for two eggs, would you use two egg yolks? What do you add to make up for the moisture the whites provide?

.

media.miamiherald.com/smedia/2012/10/02/14/43/19cJMw.Em.5…


DAVIE HINSHAW

.


Most cookie recipes call for one egg, so you could use two yolks without much loss of moisture. But I think eggs may be the wrong culprit. While some baking sites do suggest using yolks only for crispness, many more disagree with that theory — with good reason. Egg whites generally give crispness and dryness to the final texture of baking goods. Egg yolks contain most of the egg’s fat, so they contribute richness and a softer, cakier texture.


Instead, I’d look at two other factors that are involved with crispness. The first is the sugar. Brown sugar is more moist, while white sugar causes dryness. So you want a recipe that has more white than brown sugar. A cookie that has all brown sugar is going to be softer after it’s baked.


Second, make sure you’re using butter instead of shortening. Butter makes cookies crisp while shortening makes them softer.

NEW Beach Park Layout: Making Of (1 of 6)

images Cool Cool How To Make images



Image by Phil’s 1stPix

A not so exclusive, behind the scenes look at the creation of one of the NEW sections of the diorama layout.


This detached section measures about 12′ long X 34" wide and consists of 3 sheets of MDF on a plastic shelf base.

Scrap wood is used to form the base for the dunes, and tape is used to seal the seams where sand will be used.


This isn’t a start to finish "how-to" tutorial on diorama making (I’m certainly no expert) but it does give a good idea of how I do it.

“Divergent” Exclusive: The Factions Explained

http://99thingsyouwishyouknew.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/81d73__enhanced-buzz-5413-1377292129-7.jpg

A new infographic lays out the social structure of Divergent , set to be released in March.


Factions Explained Exclusive Divergent Divergent Exclusive: The Factions Explained


Theo James and Shailene Woodley.


Summit Entertainment


Movie studios have learned that in the post-Twilight universe, young adult audiences won’t go see just anything. One successful book franchise, Beautiful Creatures, bombed in February; another, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, is sinking as we speak.


But as The Hunger Games proved, and will prove again in November when Catching Fire comes out, the right material can connect with audiences in an explosive, mainstream way. I'll place a bet now that Divergent, which will be released on March 21, 2014, and is based on the excellent book by Veronica Roth, will be in that category.


As one step down that path, Summit Entertainment has been embarking not only on the usual marketing strategies (casting announcements designed to excite the base, Comic-Con appearances), but on creating an infographic like this one that lays out the world of Divergent:


Factions Explained Exclusive Divergent Divergent Exclusive: The Factions Explained


Because that’s the thing about Divergent: It is also complicated! There are some SAT words on that infographic.


Here's the official synopsis of the film:



Divergent is a thrilling action-adventure set in a future world where people are divided into distinct factions based on their personalities. Tris Prior (Woodley) is warned she is Divergent and will never fit into any one group. When she discovers a conspiracy to destroy all Divergents, she must find out what makes being Divergent so dangerous before it's too late.



For fans of the books, the movie's casting has been perfect: It stars Woodley as Tris, Theo James (as Four, her friend and love interest), Kate Winslet (as Erudite villain Jeanine Matthews), Ashley Judd (Tris' mom, who has some secrets), and Miles Teller (as Tris' antagonist, Peter).


On Sunday night during the VMAs on MTV, Woodley and James will debut the first-look footage from the movie. Every fan of the books probably has one thing they want to see. For me? I want to see this!

A lucky child in the 1960s

Do you eat a bit of each one, or devour each one by one, do you save the contents of the egg for later, or eat it at the same time as well?

At this time of year it can become quite difficult in finding the best way of how to make yourself sick.

————————–

For me at easter time, I would have liked a plain chocolate easter egg and its contents, but other than one luxury type (which was not in the adults budget), I had to accept the more sickly milk chocolate types – yes, I was a strange child

DIY Soft Focus 50/1.8

Soft Focus 50/1.8 DIY Soft Focus 50/1.8



Image by mikkokam

Wanted a glow lens. Mild soft focus was not enough, so I hacked the worst lens I had, to a single meniscus element DIY lens.


Pentacon 50/1.8 with all but the backmost meniscus lens removed. Focal length remains around 50, a bit less. Focus is possible from 0.5 m to slightly beyond infinity. The Pentacon was a battered one and in general a bad lens to start with. This way it becomes a beautiful soft focus lens with a lot of glow. Dreamy at f/1.8 and rather sharp at center when stopped down. Aperture blades are exposed, but I’ll add an UV filter for protection later.

Alexander Skarsgard Went Full Frontal On “True Blood”

http://99thingsyouwishyouknew.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/14d7a__enhanced-buzz-16092-1376879514-11.jpg

There were many big moments in the Season 6 finale of True Blood , but none of them compared to Eric’s penis. Spoilers for “Radioactive.”


All you really need to know is that Eric was reading naked on a frozen mountain in Sweden.
