Life Lessons with Abby: Empathy

Hình ảnh
Today we built houses with marshmallows and spaghetti then created a drawing of a house with the focus on empathy - so we built a home that a homeless person would find comforting! Here's how you can take this lesson home with your kids. Read the kids' definition of what Empathy is: "Empathy is the ability to understand how someone else is feeling or to understand the situation they are in. It is the ability to “put yourself in someone else’s shoes” and to understand the way a situation might make them feel. A full definition of empathy has two parts: shared emotion and seeing someone else's point of view." --Talking Tree Books Continue reading on Style Me Pretty from Style Me Pretty https://www.stylemepretty.com/living/2020/03/31/life-lessons-with-abby-empathy/ via IFTTT nhà hàng hương sen

Grubhub Asks Restaurants to Foot the Bill on ‘Supper for Support’ Promotions

Photo by Smith Collection/Gado/Getty Images At a time when when margins are thinner than ever, the delivery platform wants restaurants to opt into offering customers $10 off dinner orders A new Grubhub restaurant delivery promotion called “Supper for Support” isn’t quite so supportive as it sounds. The deal, a $10 discount to diners on Grubhub orders of $30 or more from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m daily, is advertised to customers as a way to “save while supporting the restaurants you love,” a means of financially fueling the many food businesses across the country that now rely solely on delivery and pickup orders , with their dining rooms closed by government orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic. But Supper for Support savings don’t come from Grubhub, as fine print on the promotion clarifies. The price of the discount falls instead to the restaurants that customers are being asked to assist. “I also understand and agree that (a) Restaurant will fund the full cost of redeemed Promotions,

Grocery stores have announced hiring sprees in response to increased demand due to concerns around novel coronavirus. | Mario Tama/Getty Images Grocery, delivery, and other businesses in demand during the coronavirus pandemic are on hiring sprees, but for laid-off restaurant workers, making the switch isn’t so simple Angel de la Torre-Miranda has thrived on a career in restaurants. For almost 13 years, he has worked the line as a cook and a sous chef across the San Diego metro area, most recently preparing cheeseburgers and huli huli chicken at the Boardwalk Beach Club in Coronado. He loved the work, and it put food on the table for himself, his girlfriend, and his almost-2-year-old child. But with the spread of COVID-19, the Boardwalk Beach Club temporarily shuttered in mid-March, and de la Torre-Miranda lost his job. To support his family, this past week he found himself on the other side of the service industry: driving around town for Postmates, delivering bags full of Carl’s J

To stock the fridge, “I had to go to the local grocery store, which has very narrow aisles. It was a little tense,” she says. “It reminded me of avoiding the ghosts in Pac-Man, but with other people.” The options at the store were limited — just some pork and “beef chuck, sirloin steak, and ribeye, which is weird but I guess people are still watching their cholesterol,” she jokes. So she signed up for an account with Blue Apron, one of a number of meal kit delivery services that predate the novel coronavirus outbreak, but which seem particularly suited to a customer base wary of grocery runs. Kaufman cooked her first meal and says she loved it.

Spaghetti Aglio e Olio

Spaghetti aglio e olio translates to “spaghetti with garlic and oil.” The traditional dish contains little more than these ingredients. It might be finished with a sprinkle of parsley or a pinch of red pepper flakes, but even these are optional. In its simplest form, this classic Italian pasta features spaghetti, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. But if you’ve ever tried it, you know that spaghetti aglio e olio is far more than the sum of its parts. The garlic infuses the oil with rich, nutty flavor, and salty, starchy pasta cooking water transforms it into a deeply flavorful […] The post Spaghetti Aglio e Olio appeared first on Love and Lemons . from Love and Lemons https://www.loveandlemons.com/spaghetti-aglio-e-olio/ via IFTTT nhà hàng hương sen

Why Even Meals?

Shutterstock You could take this time to make yourself elaborate dinners from scratch. Or you could treat every meal like after-school snack. In 2010, The Awl asked a question that has haunted me for a decade: Are You Lunch ? In it, Chorie Sicha ruminated on a fundamental experience of anyone who has worked from home, rummaging through one’s fridge and cabinets to cobble together a plate that’ll tide you over without too much effort. A few things presented themselves to him as lunch: leftover Raisin Bran, a handful of Malteasers, some cornichon. It was all lunch. Because what even is lunch? The blog was supposed to point out the often depressing reality of working from home, of the way we’ll let our lives deteriorate when there’s no one else to each lunch in front of. But there’s part of me that finds the Lunch Game incredibly freeing. You may think you need to keep up appearances, whether for your Instagram or for your own sanity. But meals are a social construct. It’s time to emb

And it’s also a good one to make for picky eaters. Everyone will be able to add their own fixings to their tacos, according to what individual preferences are. This recipe makes ten Oven Baked Beef Tacos, so adjust as needed if you want to make fewer tacos or more for a really hungry bunch! How to make Oven Baked Beef Tacos: This is a very easy recipe to make. You’ll need to look for the “stand up” taco shells at your market. If you can’t find the exact shells mentioned in the recipe, it’s okay to substitute regular shells. The stand-up shells make the tacos easier to fill, but if you use regular shells then you can just snuggle them side-by-side instead and they’ll stand up well enough. Taco meat: You’ll make the taco meat (easy). Use ground beef. And you could use ground turkey in place of g
