How to Add Tab on Cell Table using MS Word 2007

So I am cramming today as I create reviewers for my 2nd grader. Her first exams, which will be on Monday, are Reading and Mathematics. I thought of creating reviewer for Math first because I thought it will be easy as the teacher gave specific type of exam for each topic. I was soooo wrong! It is still hard to think of various examples given I only have ten numbers to jumble. Hahaha! And oh, add to that the formatting! The formatting is quite easy with just a few tricks but since there are a lot of items, it kind of took a while too.

I used tables and to ensure that the addition part shows all the numbers properly aligned, I used tabs. You can add a tab on each cell of your table. Then press ctrl + tab to go to your defined tabs.

Hope that saves the OC in you just like it did to me. 🙂

Now, back to the reviewers.

Glass Sculptures and Glass Art

Few things are as elegant as glass artwork, especially custom glass sculptures. They can lend an otherwise ho-hum room more than a touch of elegance and beauty and can do the same thing for an otherwise pedestrian office. Indeed, clients might look at the glass sculptures tastefully displayed around an office and come to the conclusion that such good taste must mean good business practices. Such art found in a restaurant, like custom made vases and votives, will make the restaurant instantly classy to many patrons. A custom blown glass piece can also make an event like a wedding especially memorable.

The glass artwork is not confined to that which can be placed on a table or shelf. Panels that depict abstract seascapes can be set into windows, where they allow in the light but protect privacy. These panels are excellent for places like bathrooms and powder rooms. Glass pendants can also be hung in windows to sparkle in the sunlight that comes through them. Vessel sinks made out of individually blown glass mosaics will make any guest in the home gasp in admiration.

Glass shades for light fixtures can also be handblown to the customer’s specifications. These shades can have swirly, iridescent colors that harken back to the Art Nouveau era or remind the customer of vintage Tiffany lamps.

As for weddings, votive candle holders can be blown to precisely match the theme and colors of the wedding. Sparkling glass sailboats can also be blown to serve as cake toppers. Truly, the variety of shapes and colors of glass artwork is endless.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe

Dati natatakam lang ako tuwing makakakita ako nito. My husband’s cousin who lives in Lusiana, Laguna knows how to cook this and so every time we go there (which is twice-thrice a year only), this delicious chicken recipe is one of our staple requests. From the thrice a year visit, we are now down to at least once due to school and work schedule. Buti na lang, marunong na ako ngayon magluto nitong Chicken Cordon Bleu or Chicken Roll to some.

In this recipe, we will be using chicken breast fillets. I do not buy the ready fillets from the grocery as it is pricier than the regular chicken breast. I do the deboning myself, but I do not have a video or tutorial for that. If you know how, great. If not, just buy the ready fillet for now. 🙂

What you will need

2 medium size chicken breasts (deboned) or 4 large chicken fillets
4 slices ham
4 slices cheese singles
2 tbsp all purpose flour
1 large egg, beaten
2 cups breadcrumbs
enough oil for deep frying
plenty of toothpicks

What to do

1. Cut the chicken into a butterfly. Wrap in plastic and flatten gently with a mallet. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Add ham.

3. Add cheese.

4. Roll and secure with toothpicks.

5. Roll in flour until fully coated. Pat gently to remove excess flour.

6. Douse in beaten egg.

7. Roll in breadcrumbs.

8. Heat oil in a deep pan. When the oil has no more bubbles (just before it gets smoking), gently put the breaded chicken roll. Fry until golden brown.

9. Let it cool for about 10 minutes. Remove the toothpicks then cut to desired thickness.

My family loves this recipe to bits. You can cook some soup and buttered vegetables to go with this recipe. I hope you and your family will enjoy it too. Let me know. 😉
