      <link>http://www.blisstree.com/articles/pan-fried-mahi-mahi-steaks/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[I call this pan-fried mahi-mahi dish with wild rice and sauteed spinach a &#8220;Before The 4th of July&#8221; meal. Meaning, before we binge on hotdogs, burgers, steaks, etc, I decided to cook seafood for tonight&#8217;s dinner. 
The last time I cooked mahi-mahi, I gave in to my Husband&#8217;s request of baking the fish. This time around, I decided to just pan-fry the mahi-mahi steaks. I marinated it in a simple olive oil based marinade first of course.

INGREDIENTS :
2 mahi-mahi steaks
1/4 cup olive oil
juice of 1 wedge of lime

sprinkle of ginger powder
sprinkle of dried parsley
sprinkle of red pepper flakes
salt and pepper

Combine the olive oil, garlic powder, ginger powder, lime juice, dried parsley, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Which everything together. Pour over the mahi-mahi steaks. Coat each sides of the fish. Marinate for 10-15 minutes or so. 
Melt butter in non-stick pan. Fry the fish, skin side first. About 8-10 minutes on each sides. 
Serve the fish with Uncle Ben&#8217;s Wile Rice and sauteed spinach.

      <title><![CDATA[Not a great time to switch jobs]]></title>
      <link>http://www.blisstree.com/thriftymommy/not-a-great-time-to-switch-jobs/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Oddly I know a few people looking to switch jobs right now. This seems a little nutty to me. My advice - um, don&#8217;t. The unemployment situation is not only not improving but it&#8217;s steadily getting worse.

If you&#8217;ve got a job it&#8217;s likely smart to hang onto it while you can. Not to be a downer, but according to a report this week at CNN Money, the unemployment rate charged upwards for the ninth straight month in June, climbing to 9.5% from 9.4%, and hitting another 26-year high.
Additionally this report notes that it&#8217;s predicted that unemployment rates will hit 9.6% before the year ends. But technically it could get even worse as Briefing.com predicted a June job loss of 365,000 but in reality numbers of jobs lost hit 467,000. It&#8217;s pretty darn abysmal. Looking for new work may not be the right choice at this time.
Now, I know this is not the jolliest of news to kick off the holiday weekend but there&#8217;s at least one good thing happening on the job front right now. If you are employed a raise might be on the horizon.
If you&#8217;ve currently been laid-off there are many good resources to browse that could help you to get back on your feet:

From CNN Money; &#8220;Three out-of-work professionals get makeovers from a team of four top career experts. Result: One master plan for each, full of smart strategies to find a job in a tough market. Their advice can boost your prospects too.&#8221; Read it - Find a job in a tough economy

      <title><![CDATA[How to be perfectly green - just like me!]]></title>
      <link>http://www.blisstree.com/articles/how-to-be-perfectly-green-just-like-me/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[So, does the title above sound like a phrase from a Dr. Seuss book or what?! That&#8217;s about all it&#8217;s good for though. If you were looking to be perfectly green for real, you&#8217;ve come to the wrong place. What I&#8217;m here to tell you is that no one is perfectly green. Not the authors of the green living books you read, not the folks handing out green advice at popular green hot spots like Treehugger or Grist (although I love them both), and most certainly not me.

I mention this because every so often I&#8217;ll run into what I call an Green-Nazi. In Humboldt it happened a lot. In Portland it happens less, but it still happens. Green Nazis think they&#8217;re greener than everyone else and criticize you on lots of lame little things. You use a reusable water bottle, live in a small house, use reusable grocery bags, and make all homemade cleaners - it still isn&#8217;t enough for the Green Nazis, they&#8217;ll just whine about the fact that they found one piece of plastic in your fridge or a clothing item in your closet made from conventional cotton. If you have kids it can be even worse because the crunchier than you parents descend in and attack.
To be fair, Green Nazis types are good in a way because they do remind you of what you could be doing to be greener. But on the far bigger cons side, these folks use shame and guilt to make you feel like you should be greener, not education and support. Personally, I hate that these folks turn some people off to green living and make other green-happy people look bad. Lastly, as noted above, the Green Nazis are just plain wrong; they aren&#8217;t perfect. It&#8217;s totally impossible; well, maybe not totally, but in today&#8217;s society, being perfectly green and leaving zero footprints would be a huge feat.
If you&#8217;ve run into folks like this, or if green living is frustrating you because you&#8217;ve made mistakes, take heart and keep on trucking. To make you feel better I&#8217;ve made a list of ten anti-green things I did this week.

I left the coffee pot on overnight: This mistake surprised me because I&#8217;m normally really good about turning stuff off, and even unplugging items when not in use. When I noticed the coffee pot had been left on for about 24 hours, my first thought was HOW not eco-friendly. The second - um, I could have burned the house down (see how my priorities are screwy).
I used toxic Raid to terminate a spider and trust me I will again.
I bought non-organic apples: I HATE doing this. Apples are one of the dirty dozen but the organic apples at the store this week looked like someone ran them down with a semi, so I bought conventional.
I bought non-organic, non-fair trade coffee along with the apples. The organic was too expensive this week where I was.
I bought my son a Lunchable. One, not organic. Two, so much excess packaging it&#8217;s crazy.
I forgot to refill the water bottle in my fridge so I let the water run before filling my glass when I should have just gotten ice.
I drove to the store for just two items. Could I have lived without them - yeah probably.
I threw a toilet paper tube in the trash. I suck with toilet paper tubes.
I ran one load of wash that could have been fuller had I tried.
I bought a toxic car air freshener. Stupid because duh, I know how to make homemade and or non-toxic ones.

Do I feel guilty? Actually yeah somewhat. I usually realize when I make green mistakes and it eats at me a bit. Some mistakes bug me more than others, especially when they affect my son (like the non-organic apples). BUT I don&#8217;t let the mistakes get me too down. I&#8217;m pretty good about green living overall and more importantly I try. If you make mistakes, but try, you can&#8217;t really let yourself get too down about it, or you&#8217;ll get so frustrated that you&#8217;ll give up. Giving up is the worst green choice you can make. Small steps are better than no steps. Tell yourself that the next time you feel bad about a choice you make, avoid the Green Nazis, and trust me, it&#8217;ll all be fine.
Do you ever feel green guilt? How come?

      <title><![CDATA[Cheating At Work - Cops Caught Kissing]]></title>
      <link>http://www.blisstree.com/articles/cheating-at-work-cops-caught-kissing/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Have you heard about the police chef in Ohio who was caught on video &#8220;canoodling&#8221; with another officer, while in a police cruiser and on the job? And there was a prisoner in the back seat. From what I saw of the video, they don&#8217;t really do much, just kissing, cuddling, but both officers are married. He&#8217;s 57 and she&#8217;s 30.
On the day that the video was taken, June 2, the two officers weredriving back from Cincinnati, where they picked up a burglary suspect, to their town of Perry Township, 50 miles away. In the video, the female officer is seen checking to make sure that the suspect in the back seat was asleep. The dashboard camera&#8217;s red light, that signals that it is active and on, was tampered with, so the officers did not know that they were being taped. An anonymous tip brought the tape to attention.
Have you ever been involved with a co-worker? Either while single or in a relationship? Have you been tempted?
When I was very young (19) I was engaged and my boyfriend wasaway atboot camp. While he was gone, I went down to Southern California to live with my dad for a few months. I worked in a restaurant there and a guy that I worked with seemed to find my engagement a challenge. He worked me day after day, in an attempt to get me to cheat on my fiance, but I never did. One time, after a particularly bad argument with the fiance (we argued a lot an he is now married to someone else - I believe happily and for a long time 18+ years), I thought, hey why not, maybe I should do it just this once. I did not follow through with it, I did not cheat at that time.
People spend a lot of time at work and they form connections with the folks they spend that time with. Sometimes these connections are a distraction and a way to escape the stress or even boredom of Real Life. In the case of my restaurant boy, I was lonely and young, away from my friends at that time, and this boy was very cute. It was tempting, but cheating sucks and I have rarely even come close to doing it.
I&#8217;d like to say that I&#8217;ve never done it, but that would not be completely honest and I&#8217;ve made a habit of being honest withyou readers. Idid make a fewmistakes in the past (way, way, way in the past), but they were not with someone at work (which does mean that it was alright). These days, nothing could be farther from my mind. The boyfriend that I have is all that I can handle.
Being in a committed relationship is like a job in that you have to work at it every day. You have to remind yourself what you are there for and reaffirm your commitment. You have to be a good co-worker or you run the risk of a bad performance review or possible termination - I&#8217;m talking divorce or breakup here, not death.
&#8220;Canoodling.&#8221; Isn&#8217;t that a silly word?

      <title><![CDATA[Aqua-Leisure Recalls Inflatable Floats]]></title>
      <link>http://www.blisstree.com/babylune/aqua-leisure-recalls-inflatable-floats/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The CPSC has called a voluntary recall on over 4 million floats this past Thursday due to the child seats being able toIMG: CPSC tear. These seats are the ones that the baby will sit in while swimming around a pool, since these are the one thing that makes sure your baby stays safe from drowning you probably want to return it. 
Aqua-Leisure has recalled 14 different styles of inflatable floats that they&#8217;ve made. While you may not have to, it is voluntary and the CPSC is asking that you return them to the company. At this time there is nothing stating if you will be sent a new one or reimbursed. 
Here&#8217;s what the CPSC site says:
Hazard: The leg straps in the seat of the float can tear, causing children to unexpectedly fall into or under the water, posing a risk of drowning.
Incidents/Injuries: There have been 31 reports of float seats tearing, causing children to fall into or under the water. No injuries have been reported.
Head over to the CPSC for pictures of which ones are being recalled.

      <link>http://www.solomother.com/a-perfect-day/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[85 degrees and 56 percent humidity. Three of the best boys in the world out of school and on adventures. A waterpark less than an hour from home. A whole day to be a mom in the best sense of the word: relaxed, happy, carefree, ready to play - all daily worries set aside in favor of magic.
I haven&#8217;t felt life so simply and sweetly since we first arrived back in the States as a newly single mom  and I had a good, long temp assignment, a little time for the kid, no pressures but to make our new life work.
I hope you 4th of July weekend is as wonderful as ours. Independence, indeed.

      <link>http://www.blisstree.com/articles/chicken-parm-pasta-salad/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re going to a picnic tomorrow, and one of the things we have to do is bring a &#8220;dish to pass.&#8221;  Since it&#8217;s summer and I know we&#8217;ll be having burgers and brats, I wanted a starch to go along with the rest of our meal, but also something that would be substantial in and of itself.  When I need a recipe like that, I usually pick a pasta salad.

While I normally don&#8217;t like creamy, cold pasta salads, this one from Betty Crocker is delish!  It doesn&#8217;t have that heavy mayo taste, and also isn&#8217;t drenched in salad dressing.  The cooked chicken give it some depth, and the croutons and Parmesan topping make it really unique.  Also very easy to make.

      <description><![CDATA[There must be some serious fertility dances happening on the set of one of my fave TV shows, &#8220;How I Met Your Mother,&#8221; because right on the heels of Alyson Hannigan giving birth to baby girl, Satyana, co-star Cobie Smulders also welcomed a daughter, Shaelyn Cado. Shaelyn was born on May 16 &#8212; or, um, about a month-and-a-half ago.
Clearly, the entertainment media was right on top of THAT story.
Shaelyn is the first child for Cobie and actor Taran Killam; the couple got engaged in January.
Turns out, Uncle Barney didn&#8217;t have to tell Shaelyn OR Satyana to &#8220;suit up,&#8221; as both came to their world premieres already outfitted in their birthday suits.

A team led by psychiatrist Dr. Paul Verhoeff reviewed previous studies done on the subject the past 10 years in a bid to find a link between different infections and Alzheimer's.One bacteria they have stumbled upon is the Chlamydia pneumoniae, believed to be be the cause of 10 to 20 percent of pneumonia cases outside hospitals.

      <description><![CDATA[You may think it&#8217;s fun to watch speed eaters cobble down hotdogs this weekend, but the &#8220;sport&#8221; of competitive eating has some considerable health risks.  While the percent of the speed eating population is not large enough to warrant a scientific study, several former speed eaters are dealing with obesity, clogged arteries, and other gastrointestinal problems.

One competitive eater even found that after a while, his stomach would not register being &#8220;full&#8221; when he ate normally.  This condition, called peristalsis, means that the stomach is not contracting.  Despite the health risks, however, many speed eaters look back on their &#8220;reign&#8221; fondly.

      <description><![CDATA[As the sun gets hotter these days, protecting yourself from its grueling rays should be a top priority.  Do you use sunscreen?  Do you know the best type of sunscreen to use?  You should use the highest possible sunscreen number you can.

One source says that you &#8220;get 99 percent sunburn protection with SPF 90, versus 96 percent with SPF 30.&#8221; While a few extra points might not seem like much, they can add up over the years.  Use the highest you possibly can.

      <description><![CDATA[

We all know how tots go bananas over bubbles, but it just isn't that fun when the bubbles are made without some effort involved.  Bubble machines kind of kill the joy.  But then I don't really want to hyperventilate from blowing bubbles for an hour.  This Bubble Rocket get tots to make bubbles themselves with the most fun they will ever have.  No exaggeration.  The rocket sits in a bath of bubble solution and is launched by jumping on an air bladder.  The air shoots the rocket into the air and blows, not quite a gazillion, but a lot of bubbles in the air.  This is the perfect activity for a long weekend at home when you desperately need something to tire them out.  Plus, for the 4th of July, it is patriotic, kind of.  Rocket's red glare?  OK, I'm grasping but it is tons of fun.  Trust me, you'll be caught saying, "Hey, it's my turn!".  At Gazillion Bubble Rocket is $32.95.]]></description>
