How to Cook Zucchini, Pepperoni Side Dish

This is a how to on how to make an amazing side dish with simple ingredients.


Instructions DIFFICULTY: Easy

Things You'll Need:

  • 3 to 4 medium sized fresh zucchinis
  • two small sticks of pepperoni with the skin removed
  • 1-2 jars of pasta sauce (depends on if you want a lot of sauce or little)
  • 1-2 bags of shredded mozzarella cheese

first make sure you always always wash your foods before cooking or Preheat your ovens guys to 350 degrees F. Once your zucchini is washed slice zucchini's in half then halves again. Take the halves and slice them into 1/4 inch thick slices. Once you have all of your zucchini cut place it into a vegetable steamer and cook until skin is soft. You could boil it but it does take out a lot of the nutrients.

Step 2

Now that your zucchini is finished cooking you may add it to a greased baking dish and add your pasta sauce and mix until blended well. Adding one bag of mozzarella cheese in the mixture.

Step 3

Back to the cutting board now to prepare the pepperoni. I personally slice mine the same size as the zucchini (1/4 inch thick and into triangles but slicing the sticks in half then half again) but some people like to buy the pre sliced thin sliced pepperoni sold in the bags which is fine it's what you like. I would not go thicker then 1/4 inch though. Once you have all of your pepperoni cut throw it into the backing pan with the sauce and zucchini mixture.

Step 4

Once everything is mixed well make sure it is all even then sprinkle the other bag of cheese on the top and bake for about 45- minutes to an hour. You can test it to make sure the pepperoni is cooked all the way through. Serve this dish hot. * you can also leave out the pepperoni and double the zucchini for a meat free dish. This dish is good in the fridge reheated the next day as well.

How to Create Effective Job Descriptions

If you're thinking about hiring employees, it's a good idea to start with a clear and crisp job description.



Just as important as where you post the ad, is what it says. Being as specific as possible is vital to ensuring that you attract and retain top-quality personnel. Here are some tips to help you create effective job descriptions.

From Quick Guide: Job Descriptions Simplified

Instructions DIFFICULTY: Moderately Easy


Things You'll Need:

  • Computer
  • Job Posting Resources
Step 1

Define the role. First make sure the role is defined and the position is accurately named. For example, if you're looking for an administrative assistant, specify if there is a department he or she will be working for. If the assistant will work for your corporate CEO, you may want to title the job "Executive Administrative Assistant" or "Administrative Assistant to the CEO." It's OK to stay broad in title, but you should be specific in the job description.

Step 2

Describe the duties. Lay out everything the person will need to know. If they're responsible for things like presentations, make that known. You want to define the duties and also appeal to someone's natural talents. Will they be writing a lot? Include that and tell them what types of materials they will need to create. Give them a picture of a typical day if you want. It's good to let them know that if they'll be on the road, how many days a week and so forth. Be as specific as possible.
Step 3
Include desired interpersonal skills. Talk about the qualities you want in the person, and how they will relate to the company as a whole. Instead of saying you want someone friendly, you may take it a step further and specify if they'll be working on a team. Note attributes that will help get the job done: detail-oriented, organized, coordinated and the like. Some of these are assumed, but it's good to be as direct as possible. If the person will be working on a team, note it--some people work better alone and may not be an exact fit.

Step 4

Include information about your company. Just a paragraph will do to state the name of your company and what it does. You can include things like how many locations and employees you have as well. Tell them what kind of company you are--if you're casual, for example, note that.

Instructions DIFFICULTY: Easy


Things You'll Need:

  • plastic pallet
  • wrench
  • Bicycler nipper or small screw driver
  • grease
  • acetone
  • dishing tool (optional)

Things You'll Need:

  • plastic pallet
  • wrench
  • Bicycler nipper or small screw driver
  • grease
  • acetone
  • dishing tool (optional)

Step 1

There center most part of a bicycle wheel is call a hub. There are two type of hubs to choose according to the type of usage of the bicycle. Bicycle that are construction for road and mountain action consider using a thirty two hole hub. Bicycle that are use for heaver activity us a thirty six hole drilling center. drilling is the amount of hole in a hub.

Step 2

The rim and the spokes is the next component that is critical to the support of weight press of the rider and the weight of the frame which will affect the ratio of speed. Use clincher road wheels three hundred seventy five to five hundred gram rims are sufficient for light road bicycling. Cyclists should consider stouter models using sew-up rims that are stronger for heavier used biking. Purchase spokes from a dealer and keep your receipt. The store will assist you in calculating the spoke lengths. If a mistakes is made in sizing the store will correct the problem. Proper spoke sizing is a prerequisite for durable wheels. There is a different in the front and rear spokes length get a calculation for both. The crossing pattern affects the length of the spoke. Use a three cross. A three cross consist spokes passes over or under 3 others attaching from the length of the hub to the rim. Using a crossing pattern makes for a stronger wheel.

Step 3

Prepare your spokes by applying grease or thread compound to each rim nipple hole to ease truing and tensioning. Use linseed oil as an alternative oil solution. Use an upside-down nipple threaded onto the end of a spoke to grease rim holes. Dab spokes in the grease and apply to the base.

Step 4

Place the rim flat on a workbench with the valve hole opposite you. Insert one of the spoke into any hole in the rear hub rear hub cassette side. Straddler the second rim holes. One at a time, place the spokes into every fifth rim hole from spoke to spoke add nipples. At this point you should have eight spokes joined or crossed depending on the size of the hub being used. Parallel spokes at the valve stem. twist the hub to wind the spokes in the proper directions counterclockwise before adding the second set. Bring the spoke toward the rim and lace through its neighbors. When attaching to the cassette be careful not to kink the spoke or scratch the rim. Lace the other side set the spokes in the hub by pressing the head in the palm of your hands or tap with a plastic mallet. Lay the wheel on the workbench and align the spokes by lightly tapping with a plastic mallet. The laced wheel should be parallel to each spokes at the value hole, interlace spokes, seated heads, bends and nipples should have little tension. Truing the wheel is very simply place the wheel on the bicycle frame spin and view from both side to achieve all spokes are evenly keyed.

Step 1

Assemble as follows using weatherized wood screws that are 2 1/2 inches long. (This project can be built in place where the sandbox will sit.)

Step 2

Set the two "A" pieces (Long Sides) up on edge in a parallel position approximately 57 inches apart.

Step 3

Place the two "B" pieces (Short Sides) between the long sides at each end so that they form flush, square corners. Use two or three screws in each corner to hold them together.

Step 4

Attach two of the "D" pieces (Support Blocks) on the outside of each side of the square approximately 6 inches from each corner. Make sure that all the top edges are level.

Step 5

Place the "C" pieces (Benches) around the top edge of the box. Adjust them so that all inside edges are flush and the angled corners are tight. Attach the benches to support blocks and the top edge of each side.
