Leading people isn’t a piece of cake. Some are obedient while certain zodiac signs are stubborn and dislike following instructions. A good leader should have a vision and be influential. They need to compromise some things to match everyone’s preferences. You need to make logical decisions rather than emotion-based judgments. Be willing to take the blame for other people’s mistakes and advise them. Are some of us natural leaders?

If you spend every afternoon brewing your favorite type of tea, then you've no doubt run into a curious (and slightly icky) sight when preparing for your favorite beverage — after the drink has cooled, there's this greasy-looking layer floating on the drink's surface. When you stir the tea, the hazy layer will break apart into "chunks" that look like sea ice. Not only is it unsightly, but we're also certain that more than one person has been worried that their tea has been spoiled somehow when this "tea scum" appears.

Cookout season is among us, which means it's time to pick up hamburgers and hot dogs at the grocery store, fire up the grill, and get cooking. This also means it's time to stock up on buns, and that's where you might run into a little snag: It's way too easy to end up with a lot of extra hot dog buns, especially if you bought them in bulk for a large group. You don't want to toss them all out, but maybe you tried to freeze and defrost leftovers before and found the results to be less than palatable. Is there any way to save these buns, or are they a lost cause?

While Outback Steakhouse, the Australian-themed restaurant chain, may be best known for its Bloomin' Onion — a fried onion appetizer — the chain's steaks get a lot of love as well. The company began in Florida in the 1980s and grew to become the largest steakhouse chain in the country, and although we ranked it on the lower end of our list, it has its fans: The average Google review is a solid 4.1. Reviewers are especially effusive about the prime rib and ribeye steaks.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

What is more summery than an icy, sweet frozen drink? If the heat wave is getting to you, try whipping up this simple frozen strawberry lemonade. All you need is your choice of lemonade and some frozen strawberries. You can use store-bought lemonade, make your own from scratch, or a powdered version. As for strawberries, frozen ones are the easiest choice. If you'd rather use fresh, add at least two cups of ice until you reach a nice, frozen consistency.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

Ah, the iconic, if notoriously odorous, Parmigiano Reggiano. As one of the most recognizable and widely used cheeses in today's market, you (or someone close to you) probably already have a healthy dosage of Parm in your cheese rotation, and for good reason. The cheese is incredibly versatile and has tons of character, and can be used in everything from a cheesy spaghetti bake to an air fryer chicken Parm to even a Parm-crusted steak — which is easier than you might think, by the way.

Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman recently met with Walmart officials to discuss how shoplifting is becoming epidemic at their stores. “This morning, I participated in a productive meeting with Walmart representatives from their corporate headquarters, regional and local leaders,” Coffman posted May 29 on his Facebook page. “The meeting followed their announcement of the closure of the Walmart Neighborhood Market store located at 10400 E. Colfax Ave. in Aurora, triggering the meeting. They are not changing their decision to close the store. Out of this morning's meeting was an agreement to meet with local Walmart managers on a monthly basis to ensure that the city and Walmart are working closely together on reducing retail theft. In addition, they will be participating in a city sponsored retail theft conference, later this summer, between Aurora's major retailers, the Aurora Police Department, prosecutors from the 18th Judicial District, and the Colorado Retail Association to discuss what can be done to bring down retail theft.”

Do you like bloody marys? Check. Do you like pickles? Check. Do you like the idea of drinking bloody marys out of shot glasses made from pickles? That, again, should be a big fat 'check.' This playful take on the classic cocktail has been popping up across the internet, and for good reason. Not only is it a fun way to enjoy a drink that's typically sipped (ideally over a long brunch), but the salty, crunchy, and slightly sour nature of pickles makes them a perfect match for the bloody mary's signature spice and savoriness.

Summer in the northeast states means lobster, and lots of it. Whether you go big with a decadent lobster thermidor or keep it simple with a lobster roll picnic, the celebrated crustacean is always a hit. Most people go straight for the tail or claws, which are the most popular parts of the lobster due to their meaty nature, but many of the most die-hard lobster lovers have something else in mind. They go for the lobster's body cavity, cracking it open to reveal what looks like a bright green paste coating the tender white meat.
