Chewy Almond And Chocolate Sandwiches |
KosherEye.comCreated by Penny Wantuck Eisenberg, cookbook author and baking expert. Amazing Dessert Recipes,for KosherEye. The Chewy Almond and Chocolate Sandwich cookies are perfect for Passover and year round. One thing about baking for Passover is that you always have to be flexible about what you plan on making. From year to year, you never know which items will still be available, and if available, if you'll be able to get them where you live, especially when you live in a one-kosher-store or no-kosher-store town. I thought it would be great to have a terrific, simple recipe that you could rely on when you simply couldn't get some of those special baking items for Passover, such as matzo cake meal or potato starch. I had recently seen an article on French macarons (an almond sandwich cookie) and thought that this might exactly fit the bill for this go-to recipe I was looking for. I had previously created a chewy almond wafer, one that was much easier to make than a French macaron, but I had never used them in a sandwich cookie, so I knew this would be my starting point for this recipe. Create a pareve ganache, and I felt sure that I would have the perfect, simple but elegant Passover cookie. Ingredients: Ganache Filling: For the Cookies: Optional Decorations: Directions: For the ganache: Place 7 tablespoons of the creamer and sugar in a microwave-safe container, and heat on high for 30 seconds. Add the chocolate chips and microwave for 30 seconds on medium power (5). Stir the ganache until the chocolate is completely melted (don't worry about tiny lumps or bubbles for this recipe). Let the chocolate stand for 1-2 hours until spreadable (or refrigerate, stirring occasionally until spreadable. It can be made a week in advance. Microwave it on medium power (5) in 10 second bursts until it is the spreading consistency you want. ). If the ganache is too thick to spread when it is at room temperature, heat the extra creamer and add it, 1 teaspoon at a time until the proper spreading consistency is reached. The exact amount of creamer to use will depend upon the chocolate used and the type ofcreamer. Meanwhile, make the cookies: PREHEAT OVEN TO 325 degrees F. with a shelf in the middle of the oven. Place kosher parchment paper on cookie sheets. Place the almonds, sugar and cinnamon in a processor bowl. Pulse on and off until the almonds are ground to a powder, about 15 three-second pulses. Add the egg whites and pulse until the mixture forms a soft paste, about 5 three-second pulses. Scrape the paste into a bowl and let it rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Spoon a slightly rounded measuring teaspoonful of batter onto the cookie sheets, leaving 1-1/2-inches between cookies to allow for spreading. Bake the cookies for 10-13 minutes, until just barely coloring on the edges. The object is for the cookies to be soft and chewy, so don't overbake them. As soon as the cookies are done, remove them from the oven and slide the parchment paper onto a cooling rack, so the cookies don't continue to cook on the hot pan. When the cookies are completely cool, mate up cookies of the same size, spread 1 flat side, generously (a scant 1/8 inch), with ganache. Top with the second cookie. Optional Decorations: Drizzle – Gently drizzle the cookies with melted chocolate Let the cookies rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving (otherwise the ganache will be too soft and will squish out), or up to 1 day. For longer storage, place the cookies in the refrigerator for a day, or freezer them for up to 3 months. Bring the cookies to room temperature for at least an hour before serving them, so that the ganache can soften. Notes: Yield: Makes 3 dozen sandwich cookies.

Thanks for heads-up, I confirm this. Although, its funny they captioned it as "Linux compatible" instead of simply "Linux". Well at least its top on the list xD
But the most problematic device from them, acutely needing Linux support is Universal Receiver (Universal Dongle). That 2.4 nano-receiver, that currently requires windows just to assign a wireless input device to it... :/

More critical thinking needed
Columnist Willem Lange usually strikes me as a critical thinker and a fairly interesting writer. However, in his article Pearl Harbors legacy, (Jan. 21 Times Argus/Rutland Herald) in referring to JFKs assassination, he labels those opposing his perspective as loonies with time on their hands. This name-calling method seems to be used quite often to shut down any debate on certain topics. As a matter of fact, this method seems to have worked quite successfully for more than a decade by the U.S. government and its cooperative mainstream media and others, with the words conspiracy theorists used to thwart any serious objective debates, especially on critical issues.
As for Mr. Langes statement But 9/11 remains an open wound; our national consciousness still hasnt been able to wrap itself around the motives of the men who took flying lessons ... I believe that the open wound in our national consciousness has little to do with the motives of men who took flying lessons. It has much more to do with what were the motives of the men who caused the 12-second straight-down controlled demolition-type collapse of each of the three WTC skyscrapers on 9/11.
As for motives, we would do well to consider what U.S. foreign and domestic policies followed from the events of 9/11 and which continue to this day, including the consequent induced fear that paralyzes the national psyche. We now are a country of torture, drone assassinations, lost civil liberties and shock-and-awe for countries with oil and other resources that the multinational corporations covet.
In short, we have a world turned upside-down thanks to the unexamined, uninvestigated and covered-up events of 9/11.
Accepting unquestioningly the official 9/11 conspiracy and proceeding to parrot it is not critical thinking. We need all the truly critical thinking we can collectively muster. Lets stop labeling those who question our governments actions either in JFKs assassination or the 9/11 murders and have a real debate on ultra-serious issues while we still have a voice.

Pastor's Column: How are you ... really?
I'm starting a new club, called the "Just Fine Club". The club has no dues and no meetings. You've probably already qualified to be a member and you don't even know it. Here's how it works: When someone greets you with, "Hi! How are you?" simply say, "I'm fine, just fine." It doesn't matter how you really feel. You may have pneumonia or a life-threatening disease, or maybe you just lost your job. Just tell the inquirer that you're fine. You see, it's an automatic response. Even if you're feeling lousy and have had a rotten day, everything's fine, just fine. Maybe you don't want to bother the questioner with all your troubles, it takes too much time to enumerate all your maladies, or you don't care to go into detail about all that's gone wrong, is going wrong, or is about to go wrong. It's just not worth it, so you're fine, just fine. It's not really an accurate picture, is it? Sometimes we think that everything is fine when it's not fine at all. Take for example the rich fool in Luke 12:13-21. Now—realize that this man was not a fool simply because he was rich, but because he trusted his riches to do something they could never do; namely, to protect him against what would happen on the day of his death. He was staking his future on shaky ground; or, more accurately, shaky granaries. Because of his material prosperity, this man made elaborate plans to store all his grain and goods, to kick back and relax, and just take life easy. He had it made! He was fine, just fine. Or was he? God's warning came directly to this man: "You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?" The man wouldn't even be able to enjoy what he had so carefully laid by; he would die and someone else would benefit from all his hard work and careful planning. Jesus is not knocking hard work and careful planning; just realize that these will get you only so far. What's the answer? Be rich toward God; put Him first. Then you really will be fine, just fine.

Just a quick post before I doze off - what I wore today to devour apricot danishes at the Magnolia Jewellery breakfast showing at the Guylian cafe and then to work. I had about 2 hours to spare in between everything, and it was only about 9am in the morning. It's such a strange feeling to be awake at 9am sitting in a park soaking up sunlight, wide awake, feeling like it's noon, when the majority of the people you know are probably still in bed or juuust beginning their day.

I woke up earlier today to the news of 56 exotic animals loose in Ohio. This includes tigers, bears and lions. It sounds so surreal, like a scene from a movie. I would absolutely lose my shit if I saw a bear charging at me in the middle of the Sydney CBD. Sadly, rangers had to kill 39 of the animals. It's so horrible that it had to be handled that way.
Just realised the tone of my writing in this post is a little flat. My feet feel like someone stabbed them in 3924892 different points and my eyes are slowly closing up shop.

Great Scanner I purchased this scanner in an emergency. I needed to scan dozens of photos quickly. I knew Epson was known for good scanners and quickly decided on the "middle of the road" scanner. I couldn't be happier. The scanner arrived within days. Setup was extremely easy. Unpack, plug in, install software and go. Within minutes I had scanned my first photo. A little reading was all that was needed to figure out the buttons. Then I was able to scan with a push of the button. Copying was just as easy although I probably won't use this function since I have a copier. Producing PDF files was also easy - something I'm going to find very valuable. I also experimented with the settings and was able to scan some rather old photos and produce very professional results. I'm extremely please with this purchase. The product also came with some Adobe Photoshop which I still need to install.

Questions & Answers

What is the dynamic range for this scanner
Hello Rss#!, the workable definition of dynamic range is the ratio of the highest (lightest) signal which a scanner can record to the lowest (darkest) signal. The lightest signal would correspond to the brightest highlights in an image, the darkest signal to the deepest shadows. The units used for this measurement are density units (D) and the scale is logarithmic. Thank you for shopping with us!
Will this Epson work with a MAc?

Reader Questions HMO's Call on Home Tracheostomy Care
Reader Questions HMO's Call on Home Tracheostomy Care
A colleague in a Southern state writes: "A 35-year-old woman is paralyzed from C3 [the third cervical vertebra] down secondary to a CVA [cerebrovascular accident, or stroke], and has a tracheostomy and a portable ventilator. The HMO says that she is "custodial care" (not a covered benefit), wants to delegate the trach care to nurses' aides and eliminate home health service. The service, however, has refused, citing a Board of Nurse Examiners ruling that a licensed nurse could not delegate his/her duties to an unlicensed person.
"The HMO now wants to train neighbors and the patient's 10-year-old daughter to do the trach care. The patient's husband is a full-time state employee willing to quit his career to care for his wife."
This tragic, morally outrageous case demonstrates many of the ethical dilemmas in high-tech home care. Most of us who watched the Academy Awards this year saw Christopher Reeve, a C-2 ventilator-dependent quadriplegic, thank his community in measured breaths after his own terrible accident. Fewer of us caught the New York Times report this year of Reeve's third-party payer trouble, much the same as our patient's, resolved before that report.
As with inpatient ethics, the issues can be sounded out using the framework spelled out in Jonsen, Siegler and Winslade's Clinical Medical Ethics [New York: McGraw-Hill, 3rd edition, 1992]: medical indications, patient preferences, quality-of-life and contextual factors.
A supplement to the Hastings Center Report ["The Technological Tether," 1994;24(5) :51 — 528] helpfully clarifies the theory of high- tech home care ethics.
Medical indications. Good ethics needs sound facts. What is the patient's underlying illness, prognosis for recovery from the C3 event, and prognosis for vent independence? Over what time line? Is the primary goal to extend life, or palliate, or restore health? Are there other treatment protocols available in regional centers?
These are basic questions regarding what is medically possible. They are questions about whether this state is endless, or whether there is an achievable goal in sight, within an understood time period.
There are also technical medical questions about competent treatment administration. Unlikely to be technically difficult, for example, home trach care is still a skilled service, with contextual benefits and burdens not yet articulated.
Patient preferences. We know nothing about preferences or decision-making capacity. If the patient's capacity is present, issues of advance care planning — assigning authority to make decisions if she becomes incapacitated and discussing preferences about life-saving interventions — must be the second item (after goal-setting, above) on the agenda.
If the patient's decision-making capacity is impaired and cannot be improved, then her legal guardian is next. Guardianship is a legal procedure probably needed to protect her from undertreatment, and the husband is a prime candidate for this post. Documentation and discussion of the guardian's preferences, complemented by what is medically possible, is essential.
Quality-of-life factors. Early patients on portable respirators called themselves "respinauts," raising interesting questions of identity. Is the respirator part of her? Or is she now part machine, forever tethered? Can she adjust her expectations of what life could be like in (presumably) endless quadriplegia? What would make life worth living, and is it achievable? If not, what is?
Most of us regard our homes as private, personal spaces, not mini-ICUs. In high-tech home care, a home can lose a great deal of its warmth for healthy family members. Sometimes an intermediate institution can minimize the intrusions on privacy and disruptions of family life, and maximize the use of limited financial resources. And institutional treatment can provide psychological security for patient and caregiver which no home environment can match.
Contextual factors. What does the HMO contract actually say about home health? Does it have a limit on days or dollars? Even if it does, the HMO's obligation is not simply contractual. A contract, like law, is the least we have to do.
Is the patient's primary physician willing to call and write the medical director of the HMO and, with the director if possible, speak with the HMO CEO or Board to advocate for care? Should the home care nurse help set goals and advocate here too, as home care nurses are especially close to the action?
Difficult questions of HMO resource allocation and policy are not answerable with this case. Home care expenses are enormous and vary widely from vendor to vendor. If respirator services are carved out of the contract, should our dependent patient just go broke, go on television or die without them?
Public outrage with such cases has already reached Newsweek and ABC-TV's "20/20." Limiting services when such obvious need exists reflects poorly on managed care as a whole, and on individual systems in particular. Poor service comes back to bite such systems in advanced markets.
The family's burden in high-tech home care is daunting and unfair. The real difficulty in training home caregivers is the emotional impact of such treatment on them, the family and its life. Is there a moral obligation for a husband to give up his job — and likely, his health insurance — so that he can care for his wife? Or is there an obligation to support her in whatever way he is able, while keeping some of his life, and her support?
Finally, the Family and Medical Leave Act now provides limited job protection for the husband, but the leave is unpaid and brief. Of course, there is no school leave for the patient's daughter. "What if I do something wrong while suctioning Mommy?" is an especially horrific yoke to place on 10-year-old shoulders.
The tragedy of medicine is that illness happens, and the magic is that people somehow cope. What this patient and her family don't need is a cold financial shoulder without explicit attention to the ethical issues in the case. They do need:
- fact discovery and clarification, including prognosis and managed care terms;
- a list of achievable medical and personal goals and a timeline and strategy for each;
- consideration of legal guardianship;
- advance care planning, and
- a search for alternative sources of home caregiving, including church and community members.

outburst of anger or inability to stay calm
This drug is dramatically affected by (1) dosage (2) timing of doses and (3) amount of calcium and magnesium in your diet. Weird huh? But seriously, properly manipulated, this is by far the best drug out there, and I've tried quite a few. I've grappled with this drug for years to calculate my own personal sweet spot. Right now I take 110mg per day and 400mg of calcium via cottage cheese, the Buspirone spaced acccordingly: 20mg at 7am, 20mg at 10am, 20mg at 1pm, 20mg at 4pm, 20mg at 7pm, and 10mg at 11pm. (Basically 100mg spread evenly among 12 hours and 10mg at bedtime, but the times have to be consistent.) That's just about perfect. If I get too much calcium one day then I'm in for major panic attacks the next. Seriously. Try it yourself if you don't believe me. Essentially, calcium raises the dose. So if you're on too low a dose, then a big dose of calcium might make you feel great the next day.

A man dressed as Batman who made headlines for nabbing a bad guy now says it was all a joke.
Police in West Yorkshire, England, were baffled when the portly caped crusader brought them a 27-year-old man accused of burglary before disappearing into the night.
They released surveillance video of the incident, and images of the "super hero" went viral around the world.
A day later, it's revealed that "Batman" isn't Bruce Wayne, but a 39-year-old delivery driver named Stan Worby, Reuters reported.
He said he agreed to accompany a friend to the police station as moral support, and donned the ill-fitting costume that included gloves, a cape and a mask as a practical joke.
"Obviously it was done as a joke," Worby told ITV's Daybreak program, saying he was "gobsmacked" by the attention.
The friend he accompanied to the police station has been charged with handling stolen goods and fraud-related offenses, according to Reuters.

The existing building stock is here and much of it is responsible for consuming energy, water and other resources at an unsustainable rate from both the environmental and the economic standpoints. Focusing on non-residential buildings, this course will examine the issues, techniques and processes that are involved in turning these buildings into sustainable consumers, whether through relatively simple retrofits or major renovations. Among the topics to be reviewed will be assessing existing performance, instituting building commissioning, improving energy and water efficiency, limiting (re)construction waste, improving indoor environmental quality, supporting sustainable operations and considering renewable energy sources.

Chicken in a Salt Crust
Chicken in a Salt Crust
Some afternoons I spend so much time picking up after my 3- and 4- year-olds that I have no energy left for the kitchen. I'm not talking about cooking, I just cannot stomach the idea of having to clean up one more area. That's when I resort to this recipe, which can be prepared in less than 5 minutes (plus cooking time) and will leave your counters absolutely spotless! Now how about a glass of wine?
- Ready Time : 0 min
- 1 medium chicken, whole, pounded and flattened (ask your butcher to do this for you)
- 6 pounds kosher salt
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- Freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Make a 1-inch-deep bed of salt in a large baking pan. Place chicken in the center of the salt. Sprinkle with pepper to taste. Cover chicken completely with remaining salt, pressing it down with your hands. Sprinkle salt with a little water and roast for 1 ½ hours. Crack the salt crust with a mallet, and discard the pieces. The chicken will be moist and juicy and the skin crunchy—the salt will have absorbed most of the fat in the chicken's skin!
GOES WITH: Slow-Baked Tomatoes.

I've heard of fish in a salt crust and would love to try that as well. Do you have a recipe for that? Know which fish are appropriate?
Branzino or striped bass would be perfect, you can google the recipe as "Branzino in a salt crust" … If you don't find me, let me know and I'll be happy to help! You can always email me through the contact page on my website

I have tried this and the chicken was way too salty- I had to throw it out. What am I doing wrong?
I was wondering the same thing. How does the chicken not come out to salty? Would love to try this but scared of the results.

CLERMONT, Fla. - - The Wilmington University softball team continued its two-week nonconference schedule in Florida Tuesday afternoon, this time dropping a pair of pitchers dual at the National Training Center. The Wildcats fell 1-0 to Gannon in the morning and 2-1 to University of Mary in the nightcap.
Chelsea Botsch and Katie Warrington each controlled their respective games form inside the circle, but the Wildcats (1-6) didn't get the key hit when the team needed it most in either game.
Wilmington ran into a buzz saw that was Megan Dragon in the first game of the day against Gannon (3-2). Seeing the Golden Knights for the second time in two days, the Wildcats had the same issue with two different pitchers. Dragon hurled a complete game four hitter, striking out 12 Wildcat batters to earn the victory.
Botsch more than held her own against Dragon, striking out seven batters in 5.2 innings pitched before giving way to Warrington for the last out in the sixth.
Botsch made one mistake on the day, and it cost her severely. The freshman gave up a one out single in the bottom of the sixth to give the Golden Knights momentum late in the game. After Botsch got the second out and the runner still 180 feet from home plate, pinch hitter Katie Killian smashed a two-out triple, scoring the lone run of the game.
Needing a run to extend the game in the top of the seventh the Jillian Stafford hit a two-out double to put life back into the Wildcats. But the Golden Knight's Dragon buckled down and got Rachel Painter swinging for the final out of the game.
Shelby Thompson was the lone Wildcat to get two hits off Dragon, as she finished 2-for-3 with a stolen base. Kinsley Parker and Stafford each went 1-for-3, each connecting for a double.
Warrington picked up right where she left off starting the second game, throwing all seven innings while only allowing four hits and striking out seven batters. But, just like Botsch, Warrington made one mistake, and it proved to be costly.
Setting the Marauders (5-6) down in order in the first and second inning, Warrington stumbled into trouble in the third frame.
University of Mary's Sami Antolin started the inning with a leadoff single into right field. After Warrington settled down and got the next two batters out via a strike out and a fielder's choice, the Marauders' table setter Jenna Button homered down the left field line to give the away team a 2-0 lead. Warrington would get out of the inning without any further damage, and would not allow another run the rest of the game.
The Wildcats best chance came in the bottom of the fifth inning, as they scored one run and left two more runners on base. Stafford started the inning with a single into left field. Two outs later, now with Painter on first, Thompson worked a walk and Jessica Hassman singled into center, scoring Painter to make it 2-1. With runners on first and third and two outs, Christin Headley lined one to the right side, but right at the first baseman who snagged it to end the inning.
Wilmington would rally again in the seventh, as Painter got things started with a one out single into left field. But Mary starter Emily Sinclair got Kayla Carrow to fly out and Thompson to ground out to end the contest.
Warrington fell to 1-3 on the year while Sinclair picked up the win after giving up one run on five hits. She struck out five Wildcat batters in the complete game victory.
The Wildcats have a day off to enjoy the Florida sunshine, but get back to work on Thursday, March 1 when they square off against Saint Anselm College at 9 a.m. and get a second chance against Mary at 11 a.m.

Performance Pays
Mike Christopher says the most reassuring thing about his landscape business is that he's geared for commercial. It's also what scares him the most. This past year has been about the most frightening in his decade-long career.
Drive around Christopher's market area roughly 20 miles northeast of Kansas City and you'll see an abundance of unfinished commercial developments--projects where Christopher had contracted to do the landscaping, at least until the funding was pulled. Christopher's Lawn & Landscape in Kearney, MO, has also gone from doing installs on more than a hundred new homes per year to just a tad over 40 this year.
Why is it, then, that Mike Christopher is as confident and content as ever? First of all, his hard-working, blue-collar roots have taught him to count his blessings. He's relieved that he's not running on too much debt. And he's more than happy to be back working in the field again, at least for the time being. "Am I completely recession-proof?" Christopher asks. "No ... but I'm probably better off than a lot of contractors."
A little luck doesn't hurt
Sure, the dramatic drop in installation business has stung. But Christopher is quick to point out that things could be much worse. This contractor's ability to withstand the downturn thus far can be attributed to skillful management, and a little bit of luck.
While several area homebuilders have gone under in the past year, Christopher has been partnered up with one that's hanging on. That's cause for a huge sigh of relief, because this homebuilder is also a commercial developer--and has been Christopher's biggest customer on both the installation and maintenance side of the business.
The relationship goes back several years. "I was mowing a commercial property in an area he had developed," Christopher tells. "Apparently his contractor wasn't doing a great job. He saw me one day and came up and introduced himself. He asked me how he could get his properties to look like the one I was maintaining. I told him, 'Hire me to mow it.'"
Before long Christopher was on the account. Around the same time, the developer was also in the process of building up a residential neighborhood and needed someone to mow the common areas. Christopher landed that account too.
Christopher's Lawn & Landscape had its opening to break into the installation business a few years later. Again frustrated with his current contractor, the developer looked to Christopher once more. "We landscaped a few homes to show him what we could do," Christopher recalls. "He was pleased, and thankfully continues to be. These days, when he or his son or foreman call me, they're not asking for a bid. They're asking what we can do, and when we can do it by."
Landscaping combo meals
Christopher's landscaping portfolio also includes some sizeable commercial projects, including a complex of health care clinics that took about two weeks to complete. But due to the current economy and credit crisis, no commercial installations were contracted for 2009 (as of mid-May).
Many of the company's residential installs, though, are done for the homebuilder. Christopher's Lawn & Landscape tries to keep it very simple. "We have three separate plans to satisfy different budgets," Christopher explains. "Plan 1 might include a certain amount of plants and bed space, where Plans 2 and 3 would include larger amounts. Having three clear-cut options makes it easier on both us and the builder. But we still make sure each property looks unique."
Christopher has also begun setting up meetings with the actual homebuyers themselves. "I'd say at least 30% want to add something above and beyond what's outlined in the plan," he points out. "We do a lot of walls and walkways, and trees in the backyard. This has really helped drive our installation sales up."
Writing on the wall
One thing Christopher's Lawn & Landscape is not doing much of these days is irrigation system installations. In fact, they aren't doing any. When the housing market severely slowed last year, Christopher saw the writing on the wall. Earlier this year he sold a truck, trencher, vibratory plow, and a trailer full of pipe, tubing and other supplies. "Thank God for Craig's List," he exclaims.
Eliminating the irrigation division has proved to be the right decision. "We had no winter installs scheduled and were yet to receive one inquiry through mid-May," Christopher tells. The company never did irrigation system service, so nothing has been lost there. When an installation opportunity does arise, Christopher will be using his former irrigation specialist as a sub. He made a similar move a few years ago with his lawn care division.
Paying for performance
Christopher has decided to focus on the two areas he knows best: maintenance and installation. Having but a handful of large commercial accounts, many of which are interrelated, Christopher often wonders if he's putting too many eggs in one basket. He simply cannot afford to risk upsetting--and losing--a customer, which is why he's devised a bonus system that encourages employees to do all the little things that help improve the customer experience.
"Three seasons ago I recognized the fact that I needed to create more of a sense of ownership among my maintenance crew," Christopher relates. "Take my relationship with that homebuilder, who's also a commercial developer, for instance. That's technically one customer I need to take care of. But all of those businesses that rent office space from him need to be happy too. Every cut counts. And that responsibility is largely on the maintenance crew."
Christopher says he provides his mower operators with an above-average hourly wage. He also provides monthly bonuses to each member of the maintenance crew when they meet a defined set of criteria, including:
• No complaint calls, which could include driving incidents, sidewalks not cleaned off properly, mow/trim quality, etc.
• On time to work every day
• Weekly cleaning of trucks, mowers and other equipment
• Mower blades consistently maintained
• Other routine equipment maintenance performed on schedule
"I don't want seasonal employees, I want good employees," Christopher says. "How do you get them? How do you keep them? You have to tell them what it means to do quality work--and reward them for it."
Old school
On the subject of quality work, Christopher is once again providing first-hand demonstrations to his landscaping crew. One of his cost-cutting measures this year has included letting a couple employees go and getting back in the field himself. He's loving it.
"I'd much rather be out working than sitting in an office anyway," Christopher relates. "I've heard all the sayings, like 'You have to find time to work on your business, not just in it.' But working in it is what's helped me grow it. It makes a big difference when my customers see me on a jobsite."
Christopher still finds plenty of time to work on the business. He's in the process of developing a website. Have travels with a laptop so he can look up information or pull estimates together in a blink. He's figured out what he needs to charge per minute to make money. He meets three times a year with his accountant to ensure things are on track, figuring out ways to reinvest in the business and reduce his tax liability.
But he doesn't like operating with a lot of debt. And he doesn't like dealing with payroll, so he outsources that too. On the contrary, Christopher enjoys talking with clients, figuring out their changing needs and how he can further help them. These days Christopher's Lawn & Landscape also does some street sweeping and heavy brush mowing for a couple of its clients.
"I don't really care if I'm 'the big guy,'" Christopher says. "I just want to make a decent living and enjoy work. To accomplish both, you have to charge what you're worth. Man, this work is just too hard for you to do it for free."
As Mike Christopher has found out over the course of his decade-long career, and particularly during these past couple of challenging years, you have to pay for performance, but performance will pay you back.

BOLD: Here, Courtney is wearing MAC Lady Danger, a bright orange-red. With its rich hue and matte finish, this is a show-stopper of a color, don't you think? We all LOVED it in person—it was gorgeous and would liven up even a T-shirt and shorts.
LIGHT: Here, Courtney is wearing MAC Costa Chic, a coral color with a light golden shimmer. This kissable hue would be great for a date night or everyday look.
GLOSSY: Here, Courtney is wearing Almay Color + Care Lip Balm in Apricot Pucker. How pretty does she look? I sometimes forget about lip gloss, but it's such an easy fresh look, especially for the summer. (Plus, this one is under six dollars!)
A few tips from makeup artist Ashlee Glazer:
1. Warm up your skin first with bronzer. Apply it in a number-three formation on both sides of your face (along the hairline, over the cheekbones and along the jawline).
2. Don't overdo it on the blush! You want your lips to take center stage. Consider skipping blush entirely or choose a peach or nude shade (versus pink or red, which will compete with your lips).
3. Keep your eye makeup simple. Use just a light coat of mascara so your lips can remain the focus.
What do you think? Would you wear these? Which would suit your personality best?
P.S. Everyday beauty uniforms and 16 hair tutorials.
