It may look like a front porch, but it’s also my office and an extended living room. I feel at ease here, sitting on a loveseat made from willow tree branches, with my laptop computer resting on my legs as I write. Friends visit and we watch the fireflies light up against the trees come evening. Although I love spending time here, and consider it much more than just a front porch, I am careful not to abuse this space — especially since I am on the main drag of my town. Sadly, some people fall into some etiquette black holes when it comes to their own porch behaviors. Here are five basic rules everyone should really abide by. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2016/08/31/5-front-porch-dos-and-donts-the-front-porch/

There is so much more than jalapeños and serranos out there, and while cooking with them is a great introduction to chile peppers, they’re just a gateway. It’s time to dive deeper.

Critics slam McDonald’s for misleading the publicThe criticism stems from the release of the recent television commercial of McDonalds where the narrator states “we all want what’s best for our kids,” despite the fact that these chicken nuggets are still processed food that contains unhealthy fat and sodium. “That’s the defining line that sets up the whole ad,” says Emily Mardell, a registered dietitian in Edmonton, pointing out that the ad suggests they are serving food that is good for kids. Center for Health Science and Law in Ottawa Bill Jeffery agrees with Mardell, saying that the fact that these McNuggets are still deep fried and laced with salt clearly makes it something that should not be consumed regularly, especially for children due to its adverse impacts on health. Hear nothing of itBut despite the clamour from numerous influential groups and individuals in the industry, Adam Grachnik, McDonald’s spokesman said that their move to improve their Chicken McNuggets is just the start of something big. He points out that the company is already pushing its way to develop more health-inclined substitutes as they embark on a journey to be better. This, according to Grachnik, becomes the first step in reshaping their public image. The chicken nuggets were allegedly found to contain several unhealthy food additives including one used for vegetables oils containing a preservative called TBHQ. Does not change muchHealth experts, however, point out that by removing one object from each of the nuggets does not make any compelling evidence that their food becomes healthy to eat. “These are still foods that are high in fat, high in sodium. They’re not the types of foods that you want in the everyday or even in routine intake for children,” says Mardell. According to McDonalds, a serving size of four pieces of is equivalent to 9 grams of fat and 300 milligrams of salt. This is already 25% of the recommended daily requirement in the body. However, this does not include the dipping sauce that goes along with each order of the nuggets. Each small packet packs a lot of salt and other ingredients, equivalent to a serving order of the nuggets. McDonalds has already started replacing their McNugget’s inventory as well as seeing it to full fruition. Almost all service fleet of McDonald’s in the greenery and in the United States and Canada.

In a study by Dan Ariely for his new book Payoff: The Hidden Logic That Shapes Our Motivations, Ariely found that giving employees pizza was the best motivator for work. Pizza outperformed a small cash bonus ($30) and a compliment from a boss. The real question I have for Ariely and anyone who is shocked to find out this information is: When was the last time you had a really, really good slice? via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2016/08/31/of-course-eating-pizza-will-make-you-more-productive-food-news/ One of our main goals as parents is not to simply take care of our children, but to teach them to take care of themselves. We teach them to get dressed on their own, brush their own teeth, and use the bathroom — and then we send them off to school. While I’m still trying to master teaching a 5-year-old to tie her shoes, I’ve got my eye on the real prize of teaching kids to fend for themselves: packing their own school lunches. Here’s a five-point plan to getting kids to pack their own damn lunch. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2016/08/31/a-guide-to-teaching-your-kids-to-pack-their-own-lunch-the-victorious-school-lunch/ This Is the Way the World Ends Not with a Bang but with Pumpkin Spice Lattes in August On Trend8/31/2016 Today is the last day of August, and Labor Day weekend is this coming weekend, but fall doesn’t technically start until September 22. Put away your cardigans and fuzzy boots, because there’s still time to eat tomatoes and hit the beach. Sean Bauer has feelings on this subject. For the last two years he has “protested” the fact that pumpkin spice drinks are released earlier and earlier every year. He’s dubbing his movement “Stop Premature Pumpkin Spicing,” or SPPS as I’ve seen it on Instagram. Bauer has been seen outside of both Wawa and Starbucks in Philadelphia holding the above sign. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2016/08/31/this-is-the-way-the-world-ends-not-with-a-bang-but-with-pumpkin-spice-lattes-in-august-on-trend/ Summertime, in theory, means more time in general. More time for fun and leisure and enjoying ourselves away from the workplace or even our own homes. Sometimes all that extra time is a myth and we can’t venture too far. Sometimes we have only an hour or so to spare.
