Piscataway: Central

The town I live in is an average town. There is no downtown, which kind of bothers me, but there are a lot of stores and shopping close by. Most of the restaurants in my town are chain restaurants, which I do not prefer. I prefer little hole in the wall family owned restaurants. Usually the best food comes out of those! I have lived in my town for 23 years now, and it is pretty suburban. There are a lot of houses and parks, and both are only increasing. I hope that I can eventually move out because I want to live closer to the beach. I guess the good thing is that New York city and the shore are only about 40 minutes away.

Looking after Your Dog

Dogs are one of the most popular pets for children and adults alike. They provide companionship as well as helping keep you fit. If you live in a city, when walking your dog it is important to keep it under control and for this you will generally use a leash and a dog collar. Dog collars come in many different styles, so that most people should be able to find something that suits them and is also comfortable and safe for the dog. The most usual example is a leather strap with a metal buckle. These are placed around the dog’s neck and should not be fastened too tight. On the collar a metal disc can also be placed with information about the dog, such that if it gets lost it can be returned. If you plan to train your dog there are also various training collars which can assist. These can include slip collars which are usually a length of chain and also pinch collar which is a chain which pinches the loose skin around a dog’s neck when pulled. Both these collars can be effective in teaching the dog to come to heel.

Bleak Outfit Blues

Today I’m not really a huge fan of my outfit. I couldn’t find anything that was comfortable. Work clothes can be so annoying sometimes. I ended up wearing black dress pants, a grey tank top, and a grey cardigan around that. The outfit is somewhat mundane; I would have liked to have been more creative. My clothes have been kind of tight recently though, so my choices are limited! I put a simple necklace on, and my shoes slip on too. My shoes are probably the most comfortable part of my outfit. There is no heel, so that is perfect! I hope tomorrow’s outfit is more exciting!

Giada, Come to my Home!

Cooks at work.

My favorite television show is Giada at Home, on the food network. I love this show because Giada makes all kinds of delicious homemade dishes. She’s a really great chef, and she has a wonderful personality. It is so relaxing to watch her chop up vegetables, and cook meals completely flawlessly. She is peaceful in the kitchen, and the meals always look exquisite.  I just wish that I could reach through the television and take a bite of the food she makes. Another benefit about her show is that the recipes can easily be found online. Often, I watch the show in the morning and recreate her recipe that evening.
