Don't Forget The Dogs

Grilling this weekend? Don't forget the dogs! This time; however, don't  dress your dogs with the same toppings you did when you were still wearing OshKosh overalls. A hot dog can have strong flavors just as well as any burger can.
A well-made hot dog, with fresh ingredients on top will surprise your palate and will have you even eating a couple servings of veggies this weekend. 

The Chicagoan                       Chopped onion + sliced tomato + yellow mustard + sweet relish + dill pickle spear +    sport        peppers + dash of celery salt

 The Olympian
 Spinach sautéed with chopped garlic in olive oil + a brushing of Greek yogurt + a squeeze of lemon


 The Mexicali
 Chopped onion + sliced tomato + mayonnaise + yellow mustard + ketchup + chopped thick cut bacon + jalapeño rings

 The Sonoran
 Avocado slices +  + chopped tomatoes + strip of crisp bacon + chopped onion + canned pinto beans 

 Add some garlic seasoned fries, and your good to go.
 Do not overcook your dog, your goal is to heat the hot dog just enough. To not have your hodogs cold in the center, grill them when they become room temperature. Grill over hot, direct heat until they're just a little charred for flavor, be sure to toast the buns—15 to 30 seconds on each side over direct heat.

Your Job? Or Your Belly?

If you finally landed an interview and you have a great résumé; new research suggests that your size may play a bigger role than your résumé.  Students went through in-person interviews, the results were; students with body mass index of 25; the border of normal and overweight, were about 30 % less likely to get an invite to a second interview than their thinner co-applicants. It may be that some interviewers can be prejudice against big people. They might fear (even unconsciously) that their employees will be slow and lazy. This may not all be the interviewers fault; it is also possible that overweight candidates have a poor interview because of they might lack confidence or may be uncomfortable. Whether your overweight or not, if you spend a few minutes before the interview thinking about a time when you kicked some ass and you were in control;can boost your odds of landing the job by about 81%, say psychologists.

Go Clonal On Your Boss

If you have been looking forward to get that promotion; dress like your boss. In a study conducted by a London-based department store; Debenhams, it is revealed that 68% of managers favor staff with a similar style.   Although the study was conduced by a company that sell stylish clothes for men, following in your bosses footsteps will make you stand out, in any business. This is called a clonal effect; when the boss picks up on something you both have in common, it creates a connection upon which a professional relation can be built. Good thing is that if your boss does not have a good sense of fashion, you two can form a bond over similarities like sports teams, taste in music or hobbies. Psychologists say; humans tend to be drawn to people who are like them, since difference can be perceived as threatening. People feel safer when they dress alike. However, don't blend in have your own signature statement too. Maybe you wear ties in a casual office, or you wear your leather shoes where every one wears trainers.
