I'm doing 28 things
Contracting sucks when recruiters can’t see past your last job, and the on-site managers in assignments aren’t allowed to give references no matter how satisfied they are with you. I would love to work with a local small-to-medium-sized company with a future-looking mission statement to help the greater good at improving health, reducing debt, building customer bases for local food growers and market suppliers, reducing fuel and water energy use, or even just writing and editing copy to attract and retain consumers eager to make their lives simpler and more fulfilling. I’d also like to be a private chef or work as a cook for a bed and breakfast or a spiritual retreat center.

How I did it: I substituted kombucha, fresh fruit juices, and Vitamin C powder+water as either inexpensive or healthier beverages: now soda pop seems ultrasweet and syrupy. Read how I did it…

It’s possible to get prepared pastry. Then combining the raisins (or currants), eggs, butter and sugar is a snap. Undoubtedly recipes on the Web exist for butter tarts, but I went with good old analog Canadian cookbooks for the nostalgia appeal.
My sister-in-law and nephew are Japanese. I would like to think that my brother will have a long and happy future with his family. I live on the Pacific Coast in a city with over 600,000 people so finding Japanese speakers to practice with should not be difficult.
