The Wisdom of the Gaucho

A resume is your first impression to a potential employer, it should be professional, concise, and 100% error free. There are a few things to keep in mind when crafting your resume.  - Keep it simple. The general rule of thumb for a resume is one page for every ten years of experience.

If you have an hour of time and an adventurous spirit, you can easily make your own mozzarella cheese.  After one failed attempt I made mozzarella cheese in about an hour, though with some practice, it could probably be done in half that time. Mozzarella cheese is one of the easiest cheeses to make and since it can be used in a variety of dishes, sandwiches, pizzas, pasta, etc. it will disappear quickly. The only two ingredients you'll need for your cheese that you may not be able to find in your local supermarket are rennet and citric acid, both of which you can purchase cheaply online. If you're lucky enough to have an extensive local grocery store or cheesemaking shop in your town, you might be able to find them locally. Besides rennet and citric acid, the only other ingredient that you...
