Autumn! It's the perfect time to entertain outdoors - most of the errors are gone, the sun is not scorching even though it is warm enough to enjoy an afternoon or evening murals, and a good thing bounty to serve as outdoor dining .

Because the day is shorter in the autumn, autumn special attention to the lighting and temperature in outdoor recreation.

Illumination

The earlier sunset will afford you an ideal opportunity to bathe in the evening light outdoor spaces. Use a soft light, but heavy use of it. Try dozens of votive candle jars and glasses, to protect the flame from the wind, hurricane lamps or kerosene lamps. Create a comfortable lounge area, and with a glowing light.

Heating

According to climate and outdoor space, you will use to recover from the cold of the night will be different. If you have a yard (and allow the laws of the community), bonfire night is a wonderful set up an informal gathering. In the small garden, consider self-contained fire pit or chimenea.

The establishment of the "trading spouses " relationship , taught by cooking

Last night I saw a television program. , Which is quite hilarious and disturbing at the same time.
In fact, I said to my mother when I first heard about it. I called her to chat, she told me she saw this program, known as "trading spouses". The name is not terrible?

I could not believe my mother looked at such things.

However, she told me about it, it sounds lively, so I decided to check it out, when it came to my time zone (we have a 4-hour time difference). She is correct, it is lively. So, I saw last night with my husband.

Now, I'm not a big reality show fan. So, I will be the second point.

So, anyway, last night's show was two husbands, the market place. One is a lawyer living in New York City, Manhattan - he changed the low-income workers living in the country places in Georgia.

(Okay, just to clarify your mind may go to other places - on the sly ...)

So you can imagine, the differences in lifestyle!

The guy in the country, his first time flying to New York, he was blowing from the speed of life. The children of the rich is great, but his wife was a witch. Shocked, he never in a restaurant, you need to dress and make up about 2-3 million, boasts its own beach house, terrified, when someone walked into the kitchen, their shoes sand, nagging and to promote relevant son, for his bar mitzvah the right to freedom of expression - especially after having an affair as the cost of the wedding.

The guy of their city's cultural impact. The house was exhausted and messy; the nightmare and the kids! They are completely out of control.

Unfortunately, I've seen the bad children in real life - but it has been for some time. They were hit, fighting, ignoring their mother, and told people to "shut up" - Can you believe it? This is a good behavior in front of the TV staff and visitors? This is really terrible.

So, here are two examples of poor family relationships. The child of a wealthy family, well-behaved - but they can not enjoy their family life, because it is "going out, go with the mother being wound up so tight, she twisted the enjoyment of all. Low-income families and family life - but a smoke, because the mother can not stand her children.

Oh - and you know my mother about her bratty child what to say? She said she tried everything. "She wanted to sit down and talk with them, she would like to take away the toy, she tried them sitting in timeout she wanted it all, but to no avail. Hmmmmm It seems that she left One of the most important controlled, loving, hit the cross of the caboose.

When parents "get it" loving, appropriate, consistent discipline, their young means that they will be controlled, loving the child's behavior, they are 6,7 up to.

- Children not be happy, if they do not sanction. You can see their faces. whiney, control the child's tragic. For this problem, everyone around them.

When was the last time you seen the pain, as well as discipline of children? You did not. I mean, yes, bad attitude, or any of the rapid disappearance of the correction a few minutes, but they are basically happy, content and security.

So, anyway, back to my story.

Each family received a $ 50,000 trade. Catch the visiting spouse, other family spent $ 50,000 of their decision. The rich answer to solve the low-income families? Buy a house, the transformation - and basically improve material wealth.

The country's answer to a wealthy family? Family relationship counseling, cooking classes, and family vacation time.

You guessed it - the rich man's wife turned - she plans to use $ 50,000 to pay for her son's bar mitzvah! !

However, I will say one thing. The people of the state is correct, and family needs. The less "stuff" and pay more attention to the focus of the "relationship".

In fact, he is downright clever. He showed that the # 1 way to build family relationships ...... cooking.

Keke. Wake-up call?

Cooking to create family ties - all ages - all capabilities. Too bad the people of the country there is no wisdom, discipline, too many children.

So, if you have been leading the race from the child - do not forget the relationship side of things. And do not overlook the most simple and the most interesting (he), I mean "interesting" way to spend time with your child - cooking! !

Alfredo on Earth who he is

Italian pasta, wide face wearing no other than a lot of good, middle-aged Parmigiano cheese and butter, but it is such a simple preparation, the Italian people do not even think this is a "secret".

Waverley in his famous book "Italian Food" (New York, 1971), root wrote: "wide surface aluminum burro in the hearts of every visitor with Rome, possibly because the original Alfredo , making its services an opera scenes reminiscent of success. this is the same ribbon shaped egg pasta up to be known as the dry noodles in Bologna; people burro preparation is a wealth of really Rome did not add inter grated cheese and butter, pasta - a lot of butter recipe called for doppio burro, double butter, which makes it a golden color.

So who is Alfredo? Alfredo di Lelio, this is his full name, is an inspiration to raise this exciting new dishes, the chef in the restaurant he opened in Rome in 1914.
