Some more advice

I know there are a few folks reading this who are either in college or headed that way most soon, so I thought I'd offer some advice for living on your own...

Plus it's been a while since I offered up any advice 'round these parts...so...

When you're cooking for yourself, you may find that some things are a little bland or just not quite good enough. Try these things to make the food taste better:

• Fry it
• Glaze it
• Top it with cheese
• Put bacon on or in it
• Dip it in maple syrup
• Batter it
• Fry it again after wrapping it in bacon

And if somebody (parent, friend, friend with benefits) is coming over and you need to tidy the place up:

• Put it under your bed
• Put it in a closet
• Light a candle
• Open the windows
• Take out the trash
• Put on a clean shirt...and undies if it's that kind of a friend
• Vacuum

If it's the first spring day, the first day after a long winter freeze and the sun is finally out, the temperature's finally above like fifty five

• Get out
• Go hiking
• Play frisbee golf
• Frolic
• Skip (unless you can't, which is sad)

Just thought you should know...
