Learn To Make Gift Baskets - The Use Of Free Printable Paper In Basketing Making

If properly made paper bag baskets & paper baskets could prove to be
exciting to make. Take some colored papers, choose a nice pattern and the
outcome from twisting and turning the paper would give a paper a new
really tasteful appearance. This can be done either by paper basket craft
folding method or then by weaving a paper to create a basket. But to
create both these things apart from having a paper what you would require
is instructions on how to go about building a paper basket & a template
for it. Paper basket making could be easy or tough solely depending the
kind of design template you pick. You can make use of these paper baskets
on any occasion but make sure that they are fixed strongly so that it can
hold a couple of things and not fall apart. Paper Basket often fall in the
category kids craft but they are for your use as well. If you can make
these baskets well and presentable then you can easily use them on any
occasion from Christmas to Easter to Thanksgiving and Birthdays. So would
you be interested in making one such paper basket that is simple to learn,
I am sure you would be!

1. From any website take a color printout of an easy basket pattern.
www.basketmakers.org is one such website that shall allow download of many
free patterns. Easy because we would like to kept it plain & simple for
the first timers. Try the patterns for Halloween they are really
interesting.

2. If your printer allows for prints to be taken on card sheets or thick
size paper then that's perfect or else glue the normal printout onto a
thick sized paper.

3. Slowly now trim the printout in the basket shape. To have a neat cutout
use a sharp edged knife. For beginners, choose an easy pattern that does
not require you to have fine cutting of the pattern or else you'll get
tired of getting the perfect shape for the basket.

4. Make an outline along the entire border. When making the outline place
the sheet on a hard surface and keep your hands clean so that no
impressions are left on the sheet. If this happens then the creases become
dirty and spoil the entire outline.

5. Basket sides should also be folded, as per the pattern. Fold should
appear on the right side in upward direction.

6. Tabs should be pointing towards in the inner part of the basket. Your
basket starts taking proper shapes here onwards, go slowly about this
process to ensure all folding is in proper position and there are no
crimpling effects on the sheet.

7. Apply gum to the adjacent edge. Glue sticks are a better choice as they
are a neat option and gives a clean look overall.

8. Stick the handle of the basket at the top end, overriding the edges.
Let the whole basket dry up. 24 hours is the minimum time you should allow
for drying.

Printable Chore Lists - For More Than Just Chores

Printable chore lists are great for keeping track of the everyday tasks in
a household. You can do a lot with them, including reducing the nag factor
in your home, putting your organizational skills on steroids, and teaching
your kids self-discipline.

With a little creative thinking, however, you can use the mighty chore
list for much, much more.

-- Can you say "repair work?"

Do you get tired of feeling like there's a constant stream of fix-it jobs
in your home? By putting some order into that task it won't seem so
overwhelming anymore.

Put a printable chore list in each main area of your home. For example,
post one in the kitchen, the garage and each bathroom. When a family
member notes something that needs to repaired, they simply jot it on the
chore list. Just think of it.

* Leaky faucets.
* Squeaky doors.
* Broken knobs.
* Peeling wallpaper.
* Stuck dispensers.
* Burned out light bulbs.

You name it. Then once a week (or whenever you like), you can gather the
chore lists and take care of all the fix-it items all at once. Obviously
this doesn't work for emergency repairs and you may have to train your
family on the difference between the two. However, this method is a much
more efficient idea of keeping up with all those little honey-do projects
than the normal hit-and-miss way of doing things.

Plus, you can run a repair training shop during your once a week fix-it
time and train other family members on how to do those little repairs
every home needs. (That way you don't get treated like the handy-person,
you're simply the repair coordinator. Sounds good, doesn't it?)

-- Caring for our pets.

Everyone who loves a pet knows there is plenty to do to keep the furry (or
feathered) ones happy and healthy. Why not use a chore list to keep on top
of your pet's needs?

Keep track of chores you need to accomplish in caring for your pet, such
as grooming, walking, and cleaning living spaces. Keep track of food and
medication schedules easily, too, as well as maintaining an up-to-date
shopping list for your pet. Do all of that on one chore list, neatly
divided into sections that work for you. Post in an area convenient to
working with your pet and you'll be far more likely to use the list
consistently.

You can also use such a chore list to keep track of behavior issues
concerning your pet. When your veterinarian asks you specifics about your
pet and its health, you'll have the information you need at your
fingertips.

The trick in effectively using these ideas is to choose the blank
printable chore lists you can find anywhere on the web. Print out plenty
of copies and customize the chore lists to fit your exact needs. Saving
several weeks or months of these types of chore lists will give you a
history of house repairs, pet needs, or whatever you are keeping track of.

Cheap Wii – How to Find One

I`m all for finding a cheap Wii and associated products, but going from
shop to shop in the High Street is probably not the best option. The
internet is very likely to beat that method. Just recently I was able to
save £50.00 for a member of the family who wanted to buy one. It all comes
down to knowing how to use the search engines properly when it comes to
shopping online. In fact the simple principles I am about to outline, can
be used to buy all manner of things.

When it comes to searching for specific things to buy, you can use price
comparison sites but don't stop there. They are often biased towards
particular dealers/retailers. They are useful but not an end in
themselves. The same can be said of the Google "Shopping" link (though it
should always be checked). With that done, form your own search patterns
using keywords specially selected for the task, So what would you use?
Let's say I am looking for a Wii – a first time purchase. I could just
enter "Wii" in the search box, but if I did, I would have thousands and
thousands of results and very many of them would have nothing to do with
actually buying a console!

You could use a number of Google search techniques and there is nothing
wrong with them, but more often I will simply apply some parallel thinking
to the words I place in the search box. I think about some keywords that
would be in my final result. For example: Wii, cheap, bargain, save,
console, cheapest, "Nintendo Wii" and at the same time use just one Google
technique which is to exclude any keywords I don't want to search for such
as accessories. I would list my keywords and add -accessories. (Note the
minus sign) which will exclude the accessories keyword.

Macaroni Grill Restaurant Recipes Revealed - Copycat Your Favorite Macaroni Grill Menu Item

If you want to know how to copycat your favorite Macaroni Grill recipes,
read on!

We all know that things are not going so well on the economic front. As a
result, we are all looking for ways to cut back. But we are human, and I
know personally there are very few things I am willing to go without. I'm
not so stubborn, however, to know that I can have the same things, just in
a more cost efficient manner. I will admit that one of my weaknesses is
going out to eat. There is just something about the Seafood Alfredo at one
of the restaurants down the road that makes me crave it at the strangest
times. If I could make it at home, I wouldn't be held back by cost, or
time, or even having to leave the house.

Something like Seafood Alfredo is pretty common, and you can find recipes
online for it fairly quickly. But it isn't the same as the Alfredo at the
restaurant. Alfredo sauce is pretty much Alfredo sauce, but the extra
little spices and the combination of seafood they use is what makes it
special. Check the internet to see if someone has posted the recipe for
your favorite restaurant. Sometimes all it takes is one disgruntled
employee to spill secrets.

Failing that, treat yourself to dinner out. But don't just order, eat and
leave. You are on a mission. Mention to your server that the Alfredo sauce
tastes a little different from the Alfredo sauce you make and you would
love to know what they use for that extra bit of flavor. The server might
know, and be able to tell you. Ask nicely enough, and they may even try to
find out from the cooks. You can even ask to see the chef. If you are
going to use this tactic, make sure you don't go during busy hours. Go
when there is a lull in customers, and you have a better chance of having
that one on one.

A lot of the ingredients you can figure out just by dissecting your meal.
If you know they use shrimp, scallops, mussels, lobster, and crab, you can
take that information and make yourself a reasonable facsimile of the
dinner at home. Try to figure out how they cooked the seafood. Did they
grill the scallops? Are the mussels soaked in a garlic wine sauce? Don't
be afraid to take notes. People won't even notice what you are doing.

Once you have that information, you can then start to make it at home. It
may take a few tries to get it perfect, but you will eventually be able to
make your favorite dish at home.

To get you started, here is a recipe to duplicate Macaroni Grill's Shrimp
Portofino:

2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1/2 cup melted butter
16 large shrimp, cleaned and de-veined
16 medium mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 cloves fresh garlic, crushed, peeled, and minced
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (fresh is better for the taste)
1 jar marinated artichoke hearts (drain before using)
4 slices lemon
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (don't use dried parsley)

Saute the mushrooms and garlic in butter until just about tender. Add the
shrimp and saute until shrimp is cooked (not translucent - but don't
overcook), about 3 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients (except the
lemon and fresh parsley) and heat thoroughly.

Movie Review: Julie & Julia

For the second time in less than a year, Meryl Streep and Amy Adams are
together again on the big screen – sort of.

The movie this time around, "Julie & Julia," combines food, relationships
and writing, all of which are close to my heart (and tummy). That, along
with the appealing co-stars and an overdose of charm, accounts for why I
so enjoyed it during a preview screening Thursday night courtesy of the
Maryland Film Festival.

You'd also think it makes for a perfect chick flick, but wife Bonnie
Schupp wasn't as enamored and gave "J&J" a pair of downer digits. Her main
complaint: Insufficient conflict.

Well, we managed to disagree with each other on the ride home – but with
even less actual conflict than contained in the plot. She also felt it
dragged a bit.

But since this is my blog (and I do most of the cooking in our kitchen), I
get an extra vote. That's only fair.

In parallel story lines half a century apart, Streep playfully depicts the
mid-life period in which Child takes her first cooking lessons and embarks
with two friends on the book project that would help make her famous,
while Adams takes on the role of wannabe writer Julie Powell, who at the
suggestion of her husband begins blogging on a subject near to her heart:
Cooking.

And it's not just any kind of cooking, but taking on all 524 recipes in
Child and friends' famed "Mastering the Art of French Cooking," in 365
days.

Predictably, the blog gets some notice and by the end of the story, Julie
seems to be on her way toward a book deal, and Julia is last seen as a
copy of her own just-published book arrives in the mail. Two women – both
writers and cooks -- some 50 years apart, one channeling the other.

A few quibbles: What served for conflict between Julie and her husband
seemed contrived, and the setting of the last meal from the book – on a
rooftop with a magical million-dollar New York view – came a little out of
nowhere, given their bland 900-square-foot apartment on the floor above a
working-class neighborhood pizzaria.

Streep and Adams were last paired as nuns in the harder-hitting drama
"Doubt," focusing on suspected priestly sexual abuse of a young Catholic
boy. Bonnie and I also disagreed on that film – she liked it a lot, and I
was ambivalent. It was hardly a chick flick.

In their new film, written for the screen and directed by Nora Ephron,
Streep was amazingly believable as Julia, and Adams an appealing and
alluring 30-year-old Julie. I would have been thrilled to sit down at the
dinner table with either of them, but I'll settle for the movie. It was
just charming, and the world needs a little more of that these days.
