Group Gathering

This section is most often used for team activities or meeting icebreakers.� However, during the holiday season I sometimes like to share a tried-n-true recipe that might be appropriate for an office or� team party, or made larger for a group or department pot luck meal.�

�

Since I am not sure of your recipe needs for the holiday, I decided to give links to some great recipe sites for holiday ideas.� You can search these for the main course, side dishes, or dessert ideas, as well as elegant or simple options.� Also look for recipes you can do with children to add to the festivities.

Computer Clue

Want to see your computer as more than just a machine that makes your job easier?� You can use your computer for work, relaxation, learning, and sharing.� Since we already understand using the computer for work, let's discuss the other three.� You can relax on the computer by listening to internet music or watching videos on-line.� There are also lots of joke sites and blogs with interesting stories to read. (Just don't get carried away with too much fun stuff, especially when on-the-job.)

�

Reading can lead us to learning.� We can easily do research on the web using Wikipedia and search engines that help us find links to great websites, articles, and books.� So what do you do with what you read in order to experience the sharing?� Many articles and blogs allow you to comment in order to ask a question or share your personal experience with others.� Or you may choose to share with others you know� by emailing the web link you found interesting to them.� There are also lots of social networking sites where you can get to know other people and share common interests too.

Quick Quote
