After the 5 minutes have passed, add the blend of fried meats to the deep skillet. Use your spatula or a spoon to blend the meat in with the vegetable ingredients. If you opted to cook tilapia and shrimp instead of lamb and tripe, set these aside. Do not add them to the efo riro yet. Add the blanched fresh spinach (or frozen spinach) that you set aside earlier. Stir it in to the efo riro until the spinach is fully blended with the other ingredients. If the spinach seems to take up too much room in the skillet, don't worry. Spinach loses the majority of its volume as it cooks. Now that all of the ingredients have been combined, simmer the efo riro a little longer to cook down the spinach. You can leave the lid off of the skillet or put it on, depending on the desired consistency of the efo riro. Removing the lid will allow moisture to boil off and thicken the stew. The texture of the efo riro should be that of a thick stew. Ladle a helping of efo riro into a bowl and eat while it's still hot. If you cooked tilapia and shrimp, place them on top of the stew immediately before serving.

Summary: Stir in the fried meat. Stir in the blanched spinach. Simmer for 2 minutes. Serve the efo riro while it's hot.

Freezer bags or tubs are your best bet for frozen cauliflower. For convenience, place enough cauliflower in each container to serve as the base for a full meal. For example, if you know you want to make cauliflower soup, you could place 2 - 3 cups of cauliflower in one storage container so you'll have the exact amount you need later. If you use freezer bags, try to squeeze out most of the air before sealing them. This will help preserve the cauliflower for a longer amount of time. You can also use a straw to suck out the excess air, then press the bag closed when you remove the straw. A foodsaver device or vacuum sealer work well for freezing large amounts of food. Label your bags and place them on a shelf in your freezer. They will keep there for several months. Frozen cauliflower only needs to be reheated for about 90 seconds after the blanching and freezing process. Simply drop the frozen florets into boiling water, or steam them. They are now ready to use in your favorite cauliflower recipe. Here are a few to try out: Cauliflower Soup Cauliflower Gratin Cauliflower Curry

Summary: Portion the cauliflower into freezer-safe containers. Freeze the cauliflower. Reheat the cauliflower when you're ready to use it.

While you may sometimes think that you are innocently expressing your opinion, understand that other people might take it as forceful or judgmental advice. It can be helpful to know the difference between expressing an opinion and being too opinionated so that you can avoid these situations. An opinion is merely a belief or idea that is based on preference instead of hard fact. An example of an opinion is "I'm not a fan of that television show. I don't think it is very funny." An opinionated person is very rigid about their opinions. Instead of expressing their preferences, they state their personal opinions as facts. They often do not allow others to express dissimilar opinions or ideas. They might become critical or judgmental. For example, an opinionated person might say, "That TV show is so stupid. I can't imagine why anyone would want to watch it. The humor is so dumb. It must only appeal to a caveman." Think about whether you want to help the person you have a desire to offer unsolicited advice. Although your motivation may be well intentioned, you should know that even advice coming from an altruistic place usually backfires. If you offer unsolicited advice for altruistic reasons, people may become defensive in order to maintain their personal freedom and life choices. For example, you may be worried about the health of a friend who smokes cigarettes. If you start offering them unsolicited advice about how to stop smoking, they may get defensive of their lifestyle. It won't help that your advice is coming from a good place, since you are failing to respect their lifestyle and personal choices. If you are really excited about a new life hack or solution to something in your life, you may have a desire to share it with others. However, you should keep in mind that your friends, colleagues and family members may need to come up with their own solutions to life problems. It is probably better to keep your advice to yourself, unless they ask for it explicitly. It can be annoying to hear about the same problem from a friend or a colleague for years while having some resolutions in your mind. Although empathy and listening attentively is a lot of work, it is better to continue listening to the same old problems than to start offering unsolicited advice. You don't know what situations may hinder your friend from taking the solution or advice you want to offer. If you have a desire to pontificate about particular subjects, try to remember this tendency and take note of its effects on others. You may notice that it doesn't always have a great reception, in which case you may want to stop offering unwanted advice to people.

Summary: Understand the difference between having an opinion and being opinionated. Determine whether you are coming from a place of altruism. Keep your cool if you want to give advice out of excitement. Stop yourself from giving advice if you are annoyed. Avoid pontificating.
