Chilli trick by Gordon Ramsay does work. | NARCISSISM IS NECESSARY You’ve probably noticed that most, if not, all my dishes that I’ve posted recently contained chillies. Well I can’t help it that I love my food with kicks but mostly, you got to blame Gordon Ramsay for my chilli obsession. Well, through television, he taught the world and me the neatest way to seed chillies. # – First, roll the chilli with the your palm on a chopping board for about 10 seconds. # – Then cut off the top of the chili. # – Now, hold it firmly in your hand, over the rubbish bin, with the cut part facing downwards, shake vigourously. # – Look ma, no more seeds! Now you can slice, dice, julienne, do whatever you want with your clean, seeded chillies :)

You Don’t Need a Magic Eight Ball to Figure Out if You’re in Debt…. I agree with Jim and do the same. And while I do understand the author's meaning in mentioning it, putting everyday stuff on the card is not a sign of abusing the card. Putting ANYTHING on the card while knowing you are unable to pay the card off immediately is the very crux of credit card abuse. That is the critical difference between Jim and someone who gets in trouble with credit cards. To me that is the golden rule of credit cards: nothing ever goes on it if I can't pay it off immediately. Obviously some debts may not be mistakes of this nature (houses, cars, and so forth). I think credit cards are like a bottle of booze. $20,000 line of credit doesn't mean I have to max the card.
