Corn on a Charcoal Grill
If you’re planning a barbecue gathering for the weekend add “Corn on the Cob” to your menu list.
It’s simple, easy and delicious.
Place them naked on the charcoal grill and flip on each side until all sides are cooked well.
Don’t overcook, so you can feel the juices squeezing out.
I love to serve them with a dressing of lemon, oil, salt and fresh chopped coriander. Just delicious 
Let me know how it goes.

Body Image, Healthy Diet and Young Women
Numerous young women link their body image to self-esteem. With peer pressure and social influence they often tend to drift with the wave of wanting to look “thin” like models on TV or in magazines in order to feel confident and to have a sense of belonging.
It’s very important for young women to love their body and never compare themselves to others; but above all, they should never link food & dieting to emotions. The purpose of dieting ought to be for a healthy living and not for image.
