The much-loved “cheap-chic” discount chain, Target Corp., referred to by fans as “Tar-Jay,” says it has Canada in its sights as part of a future international expansion plan.
Target said it would be at least three years before the international expansion plan takes place. In the meantime, the Minneapolis-based retailer said it would focus on updating its existing United States stores.
Like many U.S. retailers, Target is mulling a move outside its home market after sales and profits took a nosedive in the past year.
Then as if by chance, I found this Lemon Garlic Chicken Recipe..
YUMMM!!!!!
And it sounds VERY easy.
Lemon Garlic Chicken
Ingredients:
1 package of chicken thighs & drumsticks (4 thighs & 4 drumsticks)
3 lemons
15 cloves of garlic, peeled (See: How to Peel Garlic Quickly and Easily)
Salt & pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a bowl, add the chicken pieces. Slice the lemons in half and juice them. Add the juice and the lemon rinds to the bowl, along with the garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix well with your hands, then dump this all in a large baking dish.
Put the dish in the oven and bake the chicken for 30 to 40 minutes, basting every 10 minutes. When the skin gets crispy and the meat is cooked through, it is done.
Couch potatoes, beware. Sitting in front of the television for hours daily could shorten your life, according to an Australian study.
“Even if someone has a healthy body weight, sitting for long periods of time still has an unhealthy influence on their blood sugar and blood fats,” he said.
“In addition to doing regular exercise, avoid sitting for prolonged periods and keep in mind to ‘move more, more often’. Too much sitting is bad for health.”
Apparently, running shoes are worse for you than high heels.
Out here in the non-Tarahumara world, where we have access to the best in sports medicine, training innovations and footwear, up to 90 per cent of all marathoners are injured every year.
The Tarahumara, by contrast, remain spry and healthy deep into old age. I saw numerous men and women in their seventies loping up steep, cliffside switchbacks on their way to villages 30 miles away.
Back in 1994, a Tarahumara man ventured out of the canyons to compete against an elite field of runners at the Leadville Trail Ultramarathon, a 100-mile race through the Rocky Mountains.
He wore homemade sandals. He was 55 years old. He won.
When the Tarahumara aren’t barefoot, they wear nothing more cushioned than thin, hard sandals fashioned from discarded tire treads and leather thongs.
In place of artificial shock absorption, they rely on an ancient running technique that creates a naturally gentle landing.
Unlike the vast majority of modern runners, who come down heavily on their foam-covered heels and roll forward off their toes, the Tarahumara land lightly on their forefeet and bend their knees, as you would if you jumped from a chair.
“Remarkably, the effect of running shoes on knee joint torques,” the lead researcher said, “is even greater than the effect that was reported earlier of high-heeled shoes during walking.”
They even did the study with the Vibram Fivefingers, and the student runners changed their running style almost immediately if they were barefoot or in the shoes.

“If this all works out it will certainly make up for the life we have had until now — all we really had was each other — no women would look at us living in a cave,” said Geza.
“But with money, maybe we can find a partner and finally have a normal life.”
Je suis désolée, mais la remise que j’ai mentionnée hier, n’était pas valable.
I am sorry, but the discount that I mentioned yesterday was not valid.
le livre (m) = book; ce qui monte doit descendre = what goes up must come down; et c’est le cas de le dire = and that’s the least one can say; la rédaction (f) = composition (editing); désolée = sorry; même sans remise = even without the discount
