Connecting with people: ‘How to win friends and influence people’ by Dale Carnegie

Presentation skills kind of come from practice. Talk with your lead about opportunities. In D.C., we have a toastmasters club for this.

Came to say this.. Practice is the best teacher. Get feedback from your leadership on ways to improve afterwards.

Cavatappi in Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano
