Bring all the elements together and you get a compelling movement or a perfectly executed dish. <br />a professional cook is like being a concert pianist. intense and almost violent energy- passion. but to succeed both needs to be precise. movements need to be agile and nimble. the mind needs to be calm and fluid. And most importantly touch needs to be with both power and softness. a cook having a bad hungover night is like a kid banging on the keys after having a pack of oreos and a coke. I know all of this after cooking for 10 years in assorted kitchens. after all this time I'm getting close to understating whats it all about.. I think .. ya right! hey great blog!Molly Fullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079884844364569532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4816829458403939488.post-87703818710545058302009-06-17T21:06:20.816-07:002009-06-17T21:06:20.816-07:00I don't know how much your hoodies are worth t...I don't know how much your hoodies are worth to you - but if you dont mind putting a little money into them the dry cleaner can fix the zippers.

If they're sticky, then use something with wax (like the chapstick suggestion). <br /><br />If they're off kilter, have someone hold the top and the bottom with the areas lined up & together and force it down so it gets locked into place. There could be a bent tooth causing the problem. Again, some wax will help.<br /><br />If they're just AFU, then bring them into a laundry or seamstress & have them replace the zipper altogether. It's not that expensive.<br /><br />On The Fashion Show, one of the timed events was fixing a zipper, and it stumped all of them. I proudly told my cat that I fixed a zipper in 2 minutes right before a wedding. Pulled off the bottom stop, pulled off the zip-pull, realigned, reput it on, zipped it up & sewed a stop into place. Piece of cake if you know what you're doing.Los Gatos Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10609446988931868045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4816829458403939488.post-21773584050067878572009-06-07T07:33:02.714-07:002009-06-07T07:33:02.714-07:00Cooking is teaching your four-year-old twins the v...Cooking is teaching your four-year-old twins the value of freshly prepared meals--and letting them participate in their making;<br /><br />Cooking is pretending the backsplash is your audience and you are bestowing upon them the wisdom learned from your mistakes;<br /><br />Cooking is not being afraid of the cut of meat or mysterious root vegetable or spiky fruit;<br /><br />Cooking is applying to culinary school, being accepted, and being honest with yourself that you don't have the balls to go through with it;<br /><br />Cooking is a joy.<br /><br />And fresh garbanzo beans!

I have a chapstick that I have never used for my lips but everytime I get a new hoodie of after I wash one I chapstick up the zipper and then run the zipper a few times, haven't had a stuck zipper since I started this, just make sure to hit both sides.Cartemj06https://www.blogger.com/profile/16669609402049722682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4816829458403939488.post-61697555786432160362009-06-06T21:39:19.097-07:002009-06-06T21:39:19.097-07:00Brilliant.
