Ice Breaker #3: Self-control is love's strength.

Image
1. What type of partner would you choose for yourself?      Someone who is patient, hardworking, imaginative, open-minded and has a positive outlook in life. 2. What do you dislike about failure? What can you learn from it?      It makes me feel so bad about myself and it makes me think that I don't deserve anything in this world      at all.

Fish Escabeche Recipe

Fish Escabeche Recipe Ingredients: Fish, any kind Ketchup, depends on the amount of fish Water, half a c...
