Horseback Riding In Arizona

A woman from New York was driving through a remote part of Arizona when her car broke down. An American Indian named "Little Feather" came along on horseback and offered her a ride to a nearby town. She climbed up behind him on the horse, and they rode off.

The ride was uneventful, except that every few minutes Little Feather would let out a "Yeeee-haaaa!" so loud that it echoed from the surrounding hills. When they arrived in town, he let her off at the local service station, yelled one final "Yeeee-haaaa!" and rode off.

"What on earth did you say to Little Feather to get him so excited?" asked the service-station attendant.

"Nothing," the woman answered. "I just sat behind him on the horse, put my arms around his waist, and held onto the saddle horn so I wouldn’t fall off."

The attendant laughed and shook his head. "Lady," he said, "Little Feather doesn’t use a saddle!"

Looks Of Vice

A frustrated man was walking down the street when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked him for a some of dollars for dinner.

The man took out his wallet, extracted ten dollars and asked, "If I give you this money, will you buy some beer with it instead of dinner?"

"No, I had to stop drinking years ago," the homeless man replied.

"Will you use it to go fishing instead of buying food?" the man asked.

"No, I don’t waste time fishing," the homeless man said. "I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive."

"Will you spend this on greens fees at a golf course instead of food?" the man asked.

"Are you out of your mind?" replied the homeless man. "I haven’t played golf in twenty years, sir!"

"Will you spend the money on a woman in the red light district instead of food?" the man asked.

"What disease would I get for ten lousy bucks?" exclaimed the homeless man.

"Well," said the man, "I’m not going to give you the money.

Instead, I’m going to take you home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife."

The homeless man was astounded. "Won’t your wife be furious with you for doing that? I know I’m dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting."

The man replied, "That’s all right. I want her to see and accept what a man looks like after he has given up the vices of Beer, Fishing, Golf and S*x."

Dirty but funny lol and just how i like them. Have a star for making me laugh.

Should I study in New York?

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Hi,

I am planning to study culinary arts in New York since my grand dad is in Maspeth. I am from Manila Philippines and I’d like to ask some questions:

1. Can you suggest a culinary school that is not that expensive like Culinary Institute of America?

2. Do you think I can easily a part time job while I am there?

3. Do people really lose money? Cause back here in Manila, the average Filipino families earns $4 / day. Do you think If I go there in New York, it’s going to be the same thing?

Dude if you can live on $4 a day in New York then you should have your own TV show. New York is the most expensive city in America basically, so you might want to consider elsewhere if money is an issue.

Authors@Google: Masaharu Morimoto

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Iron Chef Morimoto Visited Google’s NYC campus on November 12, 2007 to discuss his new book “The New Art of Japanese Cooking”. He also gave an entertaining cooking demonstration and answered Googler’s questions.

About the Chef:
Born in Hiroshima, Japan, Iron Chef Japanese Masaharu Morimoto trained in a sushi restaurant before moving to the U.S. in 1985 at the age of 30. After working in several restaurants, he joined the highly acclaimed Nobu restaurant in New York City.

Morimoto polished his craft in New York’s melting pot and became a state-of-the-art world chef. His cutting-edge cuisine attracted the attention of Iron Chef’ producers, who invited him to become a Japanese Iron Chef. His skill, which outshines the trademark diamond stud in his left ear, has been recognized all around the world. While his cooking has Japanese roots, it’s actually “global cooking” for the 21st century. His unique fusion cuisine takes advantage of Japanese color combinations and aromas and uses Chinese spices and simple Italian ingredients, while maintaining a refined French style of presentation.
Morimoto opened his own restaurant, Morimoto, in Philadelphia in 2002 and a second one in New York City in 2006.

About the Book – Morimoto: The New Art of Japanese Cooking:
Recipes like Sushi Rice Risotto, Morimoto Bouillabaisse, and Bagna Cauda with Crab Naan and Eggplant Shigiyaki (a kind of eggplant parmesan with mozzarella and red miso sauce) all merge Japanese ingredients with Italian, French and even Indian classics. In addition to the restaurant style of many of the recipes, the book also features several recipes made on Iron Chef, which were originally accomplished in under one hour.

Those are excellent schools. There are many other excellent schools that you may have not considered.

There are several free online services that help you find a school that is already accepting students with your credentials. My favorite is College Matchmaker, from the College Board company. Go to that website, enter your personal information and SAT or ACT scores [actual score, not what you anticipate or plan on - ] tell them where [State or area or even by zip code] you want to go to college and what majors you may be interested in, and see what comes up. Then, make sure that you apply to at least three of the schools likely to accept you. College admissions can be cruel at times, and you definitely want to have some choice

Here is the web address: http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/search/adv_typeofschool.jsp

Also, it is a good idea to read what other students say about the colleges you are investigating. The best free site for that feedback is run by The Princeton Review.

becoming a chef and working in new york?

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

so im 16 and lots of careers are open in my mind. well i would like to be a chef. but i would also want to make alot of money and maybe start a business of my own after many years(: i want to live in new york and i want to know the salary as a chef in new york and how can i start a business. i also want to like be a makeup artist and hair stylist during my own time for my own business sorta. like weddings and sweet 15 and 16′s and occasions. how can i do all of this how would i study ? and what good schools are in new york for culinary arts for chefs or chef training.

You can’t do it all, but you can do some of it. I may be able to help you with some of it. The first thing is to graduate from high school with a good GPA from a good high school.

Then go to a good culinary academy in New York City. Among these are Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park, NY; The French Culinary Institute, New York City; The Institute of Culinary Education, New York City; The Culinary Academy of Long Island, Syosset, NY; Culinary Academy of New York, New York City; Wood Tobe’-Coburn School, Johnson and Wales University.

Find employment as a chef in a New York restaurant or hotel. The academy from which you graduated may be able to help you. You can expect a salary of between $70,000 – $140,000 per year, but you will not receive that at the very beginning of your career. You will have to work in a restaurant for ten to fifteen years. You earn while you learn during that time. You also save and invest your money. When you have saved some $50, 000 to $100, 000, you begin looking for building for a restaurant and equip it. You may have to borrow another $150, 000 to $200, 000. After that hire chefs, su chef, waiters, and other kitchen and dining room help. And open your restaurant. I wish you the best of luck.
