FOOD AND CONTESTS WIN MONEY TOO!

FOOD 101                                    article by:  James Thomas Fridas

Would you like to find food for all occasions and can't!  Well there are sites out there that are 100% food lovers in disguise and the site you see there in this post has recipes for food junkies to search so as for me have a ball and click the link and expose your self to the menu of food!

http://sophiejoe.webs.com/  I haven't put this on the web yet, soon though so check it out and let me know what you are looking for if its not there yet.

Having been a chef, cook and restaurant employee in the food business long before I went into real estate I was even a food demonstrator in the Price Club for over six years then started my own food company manufacturing foods and then I had to be my mothers care giver until her passing that is when I went into real estate.

So I returned to food for  a short while and have since thought that I will start another food business cooking in peoples homes, mostly dinners and maybe some other area's like parties and things of this nature.

My biggest venture in years gone by was with a company called "Yurika" and it was promising until the President stole 100 million dollars and the company went out of business, and I was making a good living, thanks Mr president!

Then I discovered another excellent company called Luster Craft owned by West Bend as well as making other top of the line cookware as stainless steel is the best there is.

I learned how to cook with stainless steel as it so different than cooking with the other kinds of inferior cookware.  I paid over $2,00.00 for my set back in 1995 WOW!  Today that set costs more but I love it and that is one of the best investments I have ever made.

So I am looking for a new job and I will keep you posted if and when I find a cooking position in California, you see Boston isn't my cup of tea!  Pun intended!  Maybe any position that pays a pay check for now need dough you know!

There are numerous contests on the Internet as well that pay cash to winners from $10. to $1 million dollars yup $1 million dollars, that would be Pillsbury Bake off going on now check the Internet for their web site enter and win the mega bucks!!!

A JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES part # 4

THE FIRST STEP                              article by:  James Thomas Fridas

Confucius is credited with the saying  :A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step:!  Guess what?  The plain truth is that Confucius never made that statement,  yet some how he has been given credit for it anyways!

In reality it makes darn good sense,  so lets do it!  On Tuesday April 16 2013 my brother and I were venturing up to Isleton along the Sacramento river where we plan on visiting four different RV parks as we have been invited to set up bus tours for the RV park and its customers.

We went to the Owl Harbor Marina where we saw some beautiful yachts and other small craft in the harbor and then we ventured up to Rivers Edge Marina again we spotted numerous beautiful yachts and other boats like a large house boat that was built on a large river barge and a hotel of sorts on another barge then a large barge that was something else not sure what it was  but they were nice looking craft.

Then we ventured over to San Andrea RV park another nice place we have a friend that is staying there so we spent a few hours here and then drove up the rest of the way to highway 12 where we proceeded to highway 162 and then headed back to Antioch.

These are the kinds of trips that people can plan, there are restaurants and other places of interest that you can stop into, especially if there are any produce markets which I love to stop into and see what I can pick up for the house.

This is James Thomas Fridas signing off for today I truly hope you enjoy these travel tips and other information I provide here!
