Why recommendation letters are critical for Harvard and Stanford admissions

by John Dorian Chang Teacher recommendations are probably the most underlerveraged (and consequently underutilized) assets in the elite college admissions cycle. There’s a simple reason why – most students are afraid of their teachers/coaches/bosses.

How To Make Your Own Bread Machine Mixes

by Marion Jones Do you use bread machine mixes when you want to make yeast bread in your automated bread-making machine? If you do, why do you? Because it’s easier? It is so simple to make gourmet bread quickly from easy-to-follow bread recipes and so much more variable too. If you use bread machine mixes you are limited to the bread machine mixes there are in the shops ” no matter how many of them there are there. On the other hand, a good bread machine recipe book is infinitely more flexible than bread machine mixes. A good bread machine cookbook might give you 150 or so recipes originating from several countries, but it will also inspire you to adapt those recipes, encouraging you to be creative and invent your own style … Read entire article »
