Confucious Say…
1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me alone.
2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and leaky tire.
3. It’s always darkest before dawn. So if you’re going to steal your neighbor’s newspaper, that’s the time to do it.
4. Don’t be irreplaceable. If you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted.

6. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
7. If you think nobody cares if you’re alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

9. If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.

Sweet Egg-Salad Sandwich
Sometimes, you just gotta have an egg-salad sandwich. Well, here’s my recipe for one, including instructions for how to hard boil an egg (certainly not rocket science, but necessary to know anyways). This recipe makes one tasty sandwich, and there’s only 8 grams of fat and 311 calories! Eat up!
Hard Boil:
There’s really no magic secret to this. Place one fresh egg into a pan, and fill it with water (not too much - just enough to cover one inch on top of the egg). Bring the water to a boil. Only once the water is boiling should you set your timer for 10 minutes. Have a bowl of cold water ready, and once the time is up, place the egg in it (this prevents split whites and sticky yolks from forming). After a few minutes (once the egg has cooled), take it out and rub it between your hands to loosen the shell and peel it off. Congratulations - you just hard boiled an egg.
Ingredients:
- 1 large hard-boiled egg
- 1 tablespoon of low-fat mayo (or regular, if you’re one of “those” people)
- 1 teaspoon of yellow mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon of sugar (or Splenda, if you’re watching your wasteline)
- 2 slices of bread (I’m a bit of a health nut, so I always go with wheat. But whatever floats your boat)
- 2 or 3 slices of ripe tomato
Directions:
- Cut up your egg in little chunks (doesn’t have to be perfect).
- Mix in your mayo, mustard and sugar with the egg.
- Add this mixture to your bread slices (you can toast or not toast it), and top it off with the tomato.
- Enjoy!
