cooking

collectively, all the processes required to get from ingredients to the desired finished food or dish. I include combining and arranging, like for a salad or a sandwich with ham and cheese, which require no actual heating or other transformation of the ingredients, but some may not (that is, they may only consider it cooking if you actually CHANGE the ingredient in some way like heat it or perhaps cure it).

medical tourism

medical tourist
(also: health tourism)
Medical tourism is a rapidly growing industry that combines two of our favorite things: travel and healthcare. People from all over the world are seeking medical treatments abroad and the trend shows no signs of slowing down.

Why medical tourism? For starters, the cost of medical procedures can be significantly lower in other countries making it an attractive option for those who are looking to save money on their medical expenses. In addition, many countries offer cutting-edge medical treatments and technologies that may not be available in your home country.

So what's it like to be a medical tourist? Imagine hopping on a plane passport in hand and traveling to a foreign land in search of medical treatment. You might visit a modern hospital in a bustling city complete with world-class facilities and state-of-the-art technology. Or you might venture to a remote tropical location where you can recover in peace and tranquility.

Either way, the experience of medical tourism is often a unique blend of adventure, exploration, and healing. You will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in a new culture try new foods and make new friends. You may even discover a hidden talent for haggling at the local market or find that you have a knack for navigating public transportation.

Of course, medical tourism is not without its challenges. You may face language barriers, cultural differences and the stress of being in a foreign country without the support of your friends and family. However, with proper research and planning, these challenges can be overcome and you can have a truly rewarding experience.

So why not give medical tourism a try? Whether you're seeking medical treatment or simply looking for a new adventure, it just might be the trip of a lifetime. And who knows? You might even come back feeling better than ever.

success

the devils dictionary
The one unpardonable sin against one's fellows. In literature, and particularly in poetry, the elements of success are exceedingly simple, and are admirably set forth in the following lines by the reverend Father Gassalasca Jape, entitled, for some mysterious reason, "John A. Joyce."

The bard who would prosper must carry a book,
Do his thinking in prose and wear
A crimson cravat, a far-away look
And a head of hexameter hair.
Be thin in your thought and your body'll be fat;
If you wear your hair long you needn't your hat.
(also: The Devil's Dictionary)

inflation

douglas adams
The phenomenon by which the value of currency goes down, as if it were being simultaneously attacked by the common cold and a horde of ferocious wildebeests. A process that makes your money worth less and less, until eventually it's worth about as much as the promise of a pension from a galactic government."

magdalene

the devils dictionary
An inhabitant of Magdala. Popularly, a woman found out. This definition of the word has the authority of ignorance, Mary of Magdala being another person than the penitent woman mentioned by St. Luke. It has also the official sanction of the governments of Great Britain and the United States. In England the word is pronounced Maudlin, whence maudlin, adjective, unpleasantly sentimental. With their Maudlin for Magdalene, and their Bedlam for Bethlehem, the English may justly boast themselves the greatest of revisers.

no

kivi
(adverb): A versatile word that can mean both "definitely not" and "I'm considering it". Useful for creating confusion and avoiding commitment. A favorite of politicians and indecisive people everywhere.
