Tips for cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often: ability, money, and time.
Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the
time you spent in the kitchen .Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule :
Think ahead .The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week .When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already?
Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread?.It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for future meal.
This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
Hopefully that gives you a good start.and don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!
A. Try new things.
B. Ability is easily improved.
C. Make three or four instead.
D. Understand your food better.
E. Cooking is a burden for many people.
F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.
G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.
Do you know how to pick a good book you'll really like? Here are some tips. Start With Your Interest.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. You can pick something that you love to read, not for school. They can be ancient martial (武术) arts, computers, or fashion design. You name it, there are books about it.
What's Your Type? Do you prefer fiction or nonfiction (or both)? Fiction books, like novels, can transport you to another world or help you imagine something beyond your own experience. Nonfiction books give you the who, what, when, and why of something.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Many of them read like novels from start to finish.
Read the description. The reviews and quotes on the back and inside covers of many books give you an idea of what the book is about. They can also help you pick future books, too. If you find a book you really like, take a minute to read the quotes and see which authors praised the book.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}.
Find a Family Favorite. Which book did your mother love best when she was at your age?{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Find out and give them a read — then you can share your thoughts about the book.
Finally, you'll probably enjoy what you're reading a lot more if you find a quiet place and make time for the book.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. You can put on some good music, get yourself some tea and let yourself be carried away by the book. You'll see that time does fly when you're reading something you love!
A. How about your brothers and sisters? B. They tell stories using facts — but that doesn't mean they're boring. C. Reading is a good way to improve your English. D. Most reading is best enjoyed when you can concentrate on it. E. Often, they'll have similar styles and you might find books you like by those authors too. F. So you should read as much as possible when you are free. G. Reading on your own isn't like reading for school. |
