There is an ART to making BRUSCHETTA. I have watched, helped, tasted, attempted to achieve... however to me it's like, Indian Tacos you can't really master them if your not a Native. But, I am well on my way...... if not there... Only one thing is holding me back.. .... These are the best tasting tomato right now..Diced by hand not food processor. Fresh Garlic..PUGLIA Olive Oil.

My hair is GREEN....

I get asked this question a ZILLION times... So just do what I say ALREADY....
Get hair wet with CLEAN TAP WATER Before entering water.

USE a leave-in conditioner on your hair PRIOR to getting hair wet.
The P girls sometimes put 3 min mircle in their hair BEFORE leaving for the pool.. why not get a DEEP condition?
NEVER NEVER let you hair Dry with Chlorine in it!!!!

AFTER the FACT
DONT... use a tinted shampoo um... like, GREEN.
DO...use a Clarifying Shampoo or one made for Chlorine removal.
DO..a WHITE Vinegar Rinse

Swimwear care.....

At this time of year I invest a lot of time in helping 4GIRLS 1BOY pick out swimsuits.. Emma is a big asset ... I would consider her an expert and can fit just about anyone in a great suit for them...unless a girl/boy totally has their mind set on a certain style and they are an IDIOT.
This is what I recommend...
Must buy at least 2 suits per season..........My children spend an abnormal amount of time in water...either because they are lifegaurds or Mermaids/Merboy?
Chlorine/Salt water/Sweat/Oils & Lotions/High Water Temps(hot tubs-hot pots-sulfer) RUIN Swimwear.
1. Rinse suit in clean tepid water before leaving pool/beach.
2. Hand wash/Gentle cycle in tepid water with a mild detergent WITHOUT fabric softener..(Woolite) roll in a towel to get out excess water...dry flat... IN DOORS. ( take out padding and dry flat, re-insert when dry) I totally get irritated when I see swimsuits hanging in the shower or drying outside!!!

This is how my morning went...
Bette was being Pissy so Emma and I were teaching her how to breathe....but ..
1. Emma was trying to take pictures of Bette breathing and writing all kinds of stuff on my FB making me laugh 2. Bette was holding her breath.. So NAMESTE was not fully accomplished.
Steve decided to give everyone a RECAP on how to use european toilets...... This now becomes rated... P for Pauling .. true.realistic......
bidet: in our home is used as a catch all...magazine, newspaper, freshener,tampons,foot bath and Kindle. button 1 ( steve calls it the Pisser button) low amount of water.
button 2.. for when you go number 2
prior to using the toilet you need to evaluate.
If you plan to go number 2 you must push pisser button so that water can coat the bowl thus number 2 can slide down.
If you predict a Major number 2 or more than a 1 min visit you must push the pisser button and then use 2 squares of TP over the landing area so that when you flush with the number 2 button.. no skid marks.
If you fail to follow the steps... you must cover your mistake with 2 squares of TP.
