FUN & FOOD

I am participating in a collective, constructive, and TASTY experiment.

As such, you have been invited to be part of a recipe exchange concept. We hope you will participate. I picked those I thought would make this fun.
Please send a recipe to the person whose name is in position 1 (even if you don't know him/her) and it should be something quick, easy and without rare ingredients.
Actually, the best one is the one you know in your head and can type right now.
Don't agonize over it, it is one you make when you are short of time.
After you've sent the recipe to the person in position 1 below and only to that person, copy this letter into a new email, move my name to position 1 and put your name in position 2.
Only my and your name should show when you send your email.
Send to 10 friends BCC (blindcopy). If you cannot do this within 5 days, let us know so it will be fair to those participating. You should receive 36 recipes.
It's fun to see where they come from! Seldom does anyone drop out because we all need new ideas.
The turnaround is fast as there are only 2 names on the list and you only have to do it once.

Emergency Stress Stoppers
There are many stressful situations — at work, at home, on the road and in public places. We may feel stress because of poor communication, too much work and everyday hassles like standing in line. Emergency stress stoppers help you deal with stress on the spot.
Try these emergency stress stoppers. You may need different stress stoppers for different situations and sometimes it helps to combine them.
  • Count to 10 before you speak.
  • Take three to five deep breaths.
  • Walk away from the stressful situation, and say you'll handle it later.
  • Go for a walk.
  • Don't be afraid to say "I'm sorry" if you make a mistake.
  • Set your watch five to 10 minutes ahead to avoid the stress of being late.
  • Break down big problems into smaller parts. For example, answer one letter or phone call per day, instead of dealing with everything at once.
  • Drive in the slow lane or avoid busy roads to help you stay calm while driving.
  • Smell a rose, hug a loved one or smile at your neighbor.
