what to do with chicken from soup

For all those wondering about what to do with the chicken left over from the chicken soup, I'd like to share an amazing recipe.
Olivie, I also heard of it being called Olivier, is pretty much a (chicken salad)+ (potato salad) = wonderful filling meal.
Since this recipe is based on the chicken that you have left over, there are no "official" measurements:)
For 1 part chicken, use 2 parts potatoes. Eggs and pickles should be about the same amount as your chicken. Amount of onion depends on your taste, I often skip it altogether. The salad shouldn't be dry, put as much mayonnaise as needed. Salt to taste. Stays good in fridge for a few days, but may need additional mayo.

So here are the ingredients:

cooked chicken - cubed
boiled potatoes - cubed
boiled eggs - cubed
pickles(some put fresh cucumbers,I personally never tried)- cubed
fresh onion -cut into tiny-tiny pieces
1 can green peas
mayonnaise
salt

Enjoy!

bye-bye warts

Funnily enough, another wonderful remedy I've found belongs to the plantego family as well. To start from the beginning, it was of course one of my kids who forced me on the road towards this discovery.  Doing reading homework with the first grader, I've noticed a small bump on his pointer. As days went on, a few more bumps( or pimples, as I thought) appeared on his hands. Weirded at the sight I turned to my husband, who nonchalantly clued me in - I was seeing warts. Apparently, " this was common, and over-the-counter treatable". Well, not so fast and easy. Neither OTC, nor prescription medications would faze those little stubborn guys. Google is definately my friend in these situations. And that is how I discovered the wonderful "banana peel method" for getting rid of resolute warts. Simply attach a piece of banana peel, the white /inner side on the wart, for the duration of the night. The warts turn dark brown and fall off after a week or two, depending on

an interesting read

So recently I received my copy of Lead like Ike by Geoff Loftus from Booksneeze.com. For those not in the know, Booksneeze is a site that sends out books to bloggers in return for a review. So here is what I thought of the book: I found Geoff Loftus's book an interesting read on a few levels. Firstly, I enjoyed the thorough historical analysis of Allis' involvement in WWII.  Secondly, I found it fascinating how the whole war operation could be used as a metaphor on business competition. Thirdly,  I realized that the "Eisenhower model" of leadership can and should be used in most life situations. Set goals, but be flexible. Delegate, but be involved personally. Be optimistic, teach by example, encourage team work. Even a housewife, like myself, will find these tips useful. These few and rest of the wonderful leadership rules are reiterated throughout the book, pointing where, why, and how they were used by Ike Eisenhower during the war. As well, one learns how these o

laundry sorting

Once upon a time, when I had only three little boys, a very good friend, who just happened to have three little girls asked me FOR A QUICK TIP TO SORTING KID'S UNDERWEAR. You see, since the kids were close in age and size, sorting laundry was a huge job. Here is the list of ideas I've used over the years: 1) buying different companies of underwear. (Usually the brand is clearly visible on the waistband. ) 2) having different color schemes. 3)buying  boxers for some and  briefs for the others (talking of boys obviously). Additional benefit of these methods, is that kids could find their underwear themselves - surely you could use the help. Another huge time gobbler is the sock matching chore. I used to have "white sock only" policy when the kids were really young. That lasted a while, that is till they started walking and keeping the whites white became more of a trouble. A great idea I've heard from a mother of 22! was to put a dot of puffy paint on each new
