DOWNLOAD EBOOKCome along in the pages of Home for the Holidays Cookbook; wear clothes that expand, and join the Larson family as they graze, gobble and gorge their way through this festive day. Your resolve to use moderation gives way, inch by inch, as the feeding frenzy picks up steam. Go ahead, slurp Dad's Fuzzy Navel and nosh a few crackers drenched with Shrimpy Artichoke Dip just to get rolling. Then pull up a chair and witness the carving of Adele's Big Bird. Pass the potatoes, pile on gravy, slather on butter, and hear the banter, the bellowing, the ranting and raving as this family proves yet again - there's no place like home for the holidays. In this wry little tome you can choose from 75 kitchen-tested holiday recipes - many from among Adele Larson's file of favorites. And for the health nuts in the family, like Joanne, you'll also find luscious options for the lean - and mean. With this book you get the best of the best from both schools of cuisine, with some vegetarian options to season the pot - and all tested and approved in the kitchens of Southern Living and Cooking Light Books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"This is a timely must-read for managers and anyone who has ever had to deal with a difficult coworker; it addresses a ubiquitous problem in a proactive, positive manner that should get the desired results." - Publishers Weekly Everyone has a “schmuck” in their office---a difficult, disruptive person who upsets the workplace, confuses coworkers, and causes concern. It’s hard to understand why schmucks act the way they do, but one thing is certain---they seem to come in all shapes and sizes. . . . - Narcissus---the condescending attention-seeker who carelessly steps on everyone’s toes - The Flytrap---the bringer of chaos whose emotional instability causes an office maelstrom - The Bean Counter---the orderly perfectionist who never gives up control, even when it’s full-steam-ahead to disaster - The Robot---the unreadable stone wall who just can’t connect Sound like anyone you know? These are just a few of the more prominent types of difficult people at work. In The Schmuck in My Office, Dr. Jody Foster explains the entire spectrum of people we may think of as schmucks, how they can decrease productivity, destroy teams, and generally make everyone else unhappy. Along with nailing down the various types, she looks at personality traits and explains how dysfunctional interactions among coworkers can lead to workplace fiascos. She helps readers understand schmucks as people, figure out how to work with them, and ultimately solve workplace problems. She also makes readers consider the most difficult thing of all: despite where your finger may be pointing, sometimes you are the “schmuck”! Let Dr. Foster teach you how to make your workplace a happier and more productive one.
