You can always make artichoke dip separately, I suppose. ;) My sister taught me a very easy, fairly low-fat recipe for artichoke dip:
1 can artichoke hearts or bottoms
4 oz light sour cream
big handful low-fat mozzarella
1 cup salsa verde
Crush up the artichokes and cook in a saucepan with salsa verde over medium heat until they are dry-ish. Throw in other ingredients and melt over low heat. Add salt (probably not needed) and pepper to taste.
You can vary the amounts if you want it creamier, or artichoke-ier or whatever. It's a good dip to make for parties because there's usually a vegetarian in the group somewhere.
I have never tried making coconut shrimp, but now I must!
No....I have a B.A. in English, a teaching license and a Masters in Education plus twelve years of teaching.... You get a Masters because you have to keep taking classes to keep your teaching license. Then...you are over educated. Schools can not afford Master teachers because their budgets cannot afford your salary. And now...I am out here with what, fifteen million other people, applying for jobs for four years. I work three part time jobs just to exist. No one cares about your experience, your degrees, your top notch references...no one cares because they can choose from so many. I have rewritten my resume so many times that I don't even know who I am anymore!
For me, college was not worth the cost. For me, it was all about degree. I am the only college graduate in my family, so my parents convinced me that any degree was good enough, so I went for theatre. Graduated with $40,000 in student loans for a degree that got me a job paying $20,000 per year, got married shortly after and plan to quit to have children soon. If you want to have a family oriented life style, college is not really worth it.
I love it! My friend Rob and I were just having a conversation yesterday about how much the card power ratings infuriated him when he was younger. I'll have to send him your way.
Excellent write-up. Horizon seems shady. At the very least Horizon has a very loose definition of organic. After reading this expose on their use of synthetic Omega-3 oils in their milk I'm at a loss for words:
Cows who are fed grass should have natural levels of Omega-3 in their milk. Horizon/Dean Foods's cows are not grass fed. Hence the fortification with artificial (read man-made) Omega-3 oils..
I live in Mexico where our cost for one can of Science Diet is about $3.00 US. Needless to say, I can save a lot of money by cooking my own and I'm delighted to find this site and recipe. So, can someone give me an idea of how much is in a box please.
Desperately seeking help :) English only please I do not speak Spanish.
That's so true, many students just go to college because they think it's what is expected of them. Like you said, it's important for students to go to college if they understand what can be achieved by getting an education.
That's definitely true that certain classes can help someone find what interests them. I agree with your point too that having a mentor is essential to learning. I wouldn't have learned anything about marketing or personal finance if it hadn't been for my first internship. I learned things that I would have never learned in a classroom because of my first internship.
I think the tip in this case is, "Be as innovative as you can in terms of finding space - even though some innovation is pricey up front, it'll save you in housing costs in the long run."
it is definitely worth it to go to college as long as the time and money are spent on training for a lucrative career - the loans are low interest and if you spend a good amount of time on applying for scholarships and grants, you can drastically lower the cost.
College is really only as good as you make it. After attending a tier-1 public university and a local state college, I've found the local college experience significantly better. Not because they are better funded (they aren't), have better professors (they don't), or better opportunities (nope). It's because I've poured myself into the curriculum with the right colleagues and we're learning more every week than I did in entire semesters at the older school.
College can be worth the price if you have a clear idea of what the education will be a means to achieving (a stable job, a salary, etc).
Too many college students:
- Go because it is expected without thought to the long term implications of cost
- Use it as an extension of high school/ a place to stall entering the real world or
- Pursue what has been labeled "selfish" means (pursing a topic because of a strong like, without intention or ability to use it for a career).
In these cases the college education may hold some value to the person, but not be worth the monetary cost.
Then again, my valedictorian cousin, decided that four years of college wasn't worth the money and decided he would instead pursue his interest in technical field (cars). With only two years in school, no debt and a career he loves, he manages a race shop and out earns the other two of us who have graduate degrees, school debt and "it pays the bills" type jobs.
Crab dip, here I come. But like Meg, I'm putting in the capers and also the artichokes. Mikey, now I am starving!

That's blasphemy, Meg. I'll make it for you sometime and you'll see why it's better my way. Like most things. :)

Likewise! Although I might throw those capers back in there.
I love making coconut shrimp for guests -- it's not the classiest-looking dish, but it's easy and tastes sooo good.
Thanks for the tip, Tony, I'm definitely going to check that out.
I love it! My friend Rob and I were just having a conversation yesterday about how much the card power ratings infuriated him when he was younger. I'll have to send him your way.
You are welcome!
Agreed. left Sam's club because we were buying waaay too much. And we frequently bought items we didn't really need!
So if i take 2.5lbs of cornmeal, 5lbs of sugar, 3 gallons of water and a packet of bakers yeast would that work?
Does anyone no the name of the cable box that you can buy for about $100. and you can get free air time?

You say, "If your business isn’t incorporated, hiring your kids can produce substantial tax savings."
Why wouldn't it apply to corporations as well?

Cool robot! Oh, Nate and Diamond say hi back. :)
I have to share this awesome condo that I saw for sale online the other day: http://www.redfin.com/WA/Seattle/2021-4th-Ave-N-98109/unit-B/home/21681620

Great point about how a degree shows that you have commitment! That's so true!
Very true!
Great recommendation! Students should definitely know what they want to study before they sign up for courses so that they don't waste money.
Very true Betty!

Beyond that, it's not worth it.
