If you are making nachos for a group, use the entire bag. If you prefer a smaller portion, pour as many chips as you would like (you can try half a bag or 1/4). If you are making more nachos than one plate can support, you can use two plates and microwave separate batches. Add 1/2 cup of Pico de Gallo and microwave for 30 seconds. Mix together. If your beans are still too firm to easily mix after 30 seconds, microwave them in 15 second increments until soft. Only microwave them until they are warm, you don't need to get them hot. Here comes the fun part. Scoop the bean and Pico de Gallo mixture all over the surface of your chip pile. Because the refried beans may be a little sticky, you might find it easier to drop globs all over rather than trying to spread them over the chips. Take a few pinches of your shredded cheese and evenly distribute it until you have used 2 cups. You can use less cheese if you prefer. Sprinkle 4 tablespoons of diced green chilies on top if you prefer a spicy kick to your nachos. You can use a prepackaged bag of Mexican blend cheese or grate your own cheese. Freshly grated cheese may melt easier in the microwave. Spread the cheese evenly over the tortilla chips. You do not want any naked chips. Place the platter in the microwave and cook for 1-2 minutes. If the beans are still cool after 2 minutes, microwave them in 30 second increments until they are hot. Don't let the beans get so hot that they boil, this will cause them to dry out and get crusty. When refried beans boil, they can also make a mess in your microwave. Be careful when removing your platter from the microwave, it may be hot enough to burn you. Remove the platter from the microwave once your beans are hot and scoop 1/2 cup of sour cream and 1/2 cup of guacamole directly on top in the center or across the entire platter. You can use more or less guacamole and sour cream if you desire. Drop another spoonful of salsa or Pico de Gallo on top if you prefer. Depending on how hot your nachos are you may need to let them cool on the countertop for about a minute before enjoying. Serve warm and gather extra plates and napkins for sharing. Enjoy as a meal or an entree with tacos, burritos, hot wings, or anything you like!

Seems a little ridiculous, on the outside, huh? What kind of person at rock bottom has the will (or maybe the means) to exercise? But the thing is you can't think of these things in such a linear fashion. In fact, you gotta think backwards. Does the successful person exercise or does the exerciser become successful? Is it the chicken or the egg we should be addressing? The first thing to go when you're down in the dumps is your body. You lie in bed all day, only greeting the sun to tell it to go away. To make matters worse, it's a vicious cycle that only propagates itself. Your body starts to drag and then your mind goes with it. When you exercise, your mind starts taking cues from your body instead of the other way around. You feel better, you look better, and you are better when you exercise -- enabling you to tackle the other parts of this insane world. All of a sudden it becomes hours upon hours of TV dinners, boxed wine, tubs of ice cream, and piles of self-loathing. After the binge, you feel absolutely terrible -- thus forcing the process to repeat. The only thing you can do then is lie on the couch and pray for a release from the impending indigestion. Not very productive, huh? Food should make you feel energized, not lethargic and full of reproach. After a healthy meal, your body feels better and you feel better. Are you noticing a pattern? Getting out of a rock bottom is about feeling good enough (not being good enough) to do something about it. Eating healthy is part of the mental trickery to get your mind speeding down the track to Awesome Town. For the record, this point is not at all endorsing materialism or vanity. That being said, looking good on the outside can make you feel good on the inside. So after you take that shower (post-workout), throw on a nice outfit and go socialize. You've earned it. Knowing you look good can change your outlook on everything -- and how people treat you too (sad, but true). You'll find an inner source of confidence that can ultimately change your behavior (for the better). The world will probably be a bit kinder to you and in turn it's easier to be kinder to yourself.

The general rule for gardens is that they need about one inch of water per week. However, certain types of plants need more water than this, and certain types need less. The best approach is to research your plants' water requirements, and to keep an eye on their health. If a plant wilts, it needs more water. Another good test is to insert your finger a few inches into the soil. If it feels completely dry, it's probably time to water. If it's wet just below the surface, give it more time. Use common sense when it comes to the frequency with which you water your plants. For example, if it has been a rainy week, your plants don't need as much water. If you're in a drought, they might need extra water. The roots absorb water that nourishes the plant; water that hits the leaves just drips off or evaporates. When you're watering, point the hose, watering can or sprinkler low on the plant, near the roots, to make sure the plant gets adequately watered there. Watering over the plant and getting the leaves all wet is also detrimental to the plant's health. Water that sits on the leaves can either cause mold to form or cause the plant to overheat. If you find it difficult to water the roots using your hose, look into a special watering system that waters plants close to the ground, such as a soaker hose or a drip-tape irrigation system. Most plants are healthiest when their roots grow deep into the ground, rather than growing outward and closer to the surface. Watering deeply, so that you completely saturate the soil, ensures that water gets all the way to the tips of the roots, and it encourages downward root growth. That's why it's healthiest to water plants sparingly, but deeply. Instead of watering just a little bit every day, choose one or two days a week to give the plants a good, deep watering. That means spending a full thirty seconds or more on each area, rather than just spraying the garden down quickly. Plants that are getting too much water are just as likely to die as plants that get too little water. Make sure you're watering your plants at the correct frequency, and try not to overdo it. Look for these signs that your garden might be getting too much water: Leaves that are yellow or brownish at the tips Limp, soggy foliage Signs of rot

They come in several sizes and wingless and flightless as well. Flightless is a better choice than wingless, as wingless can revert back to the flying. You shouldn't have to worry about escapees, because the company will have secured them. They breed in the vials, but it's not recommended: they will over-crowed and die. Fill the cup up 1/4 full, maybe a little more, and this lasts about a month or so. If you use "Organix" remember to add the mold inhibitor.

When buying fruit flies, choose the type of fruit fly you want, online. When buying them, get an extra order of fruit fly media (food), bedding and culture cups. When the box comes, remove the contents. If they are in small vials, put them in a freezer for a couple seconds, no more than ten, to slow them down a little, then pour them into a culture cup. Pour the fly food into a culture cup, adding the amount of water the package instructs you to. After assembling your culture cup, add the flies you bought/caught.
