10、 intended each piece of furniture he made to be as perfect as possible.Even making a box was an act of creation,because it produced an object that had never existed before.Initially Nakashima used local wood,sometimes from his own property.Later,he traveled to seek out English oak,Persian walnut,Afr

18、are leading the way.According to one survey,more young people are starting to cook at home for three basic reasons:They can save money,eat healthy and waste less food.Popular TV chefs are also getting millennials excited about learning some basic cooking skills.Many millennials view cooking as a for
19、m of entertainment and self-expression.They proudly post pictures of their cooking creations on Facebook or Instagram,and invite friends over to share the cooking experience.Many millennials have also found ways to avoid wasting food.After roasting a chicken,they put the leftover bones in their free
20、zer instead of the garbage can.Later,they use the bones to make chicken soup which is an important ingredient in many dishes.They also hate throwing out fruit thats too old.To avoid that situation,they bake ripe fruit like berries and bananas for 15 minutes at 175 degrees.Then they freeze it overnig
21、ht.After that,they place the fruit in plastic bags and store it in their freezer for later use.Now any millennials only eat at restaurants that have excellent food-waste policies.These servants use every part of the vegetables they buy,including their stems and roots,in dishes.They also use beef,chi
22、cken and pork bones to make their own stock.Millennials also reduce food waste by only buying what they require.Before going to a market,they write down what they need and dont buy anything else.They say they wont purchase more food than they can consume.8.Young people prefer cooking at home for the

26、u run into the same type of boss over and over again?If you dont deal well with authority figures at home,then you will have an opportunity to deal with them out in the world.You may try desperately to avoid these repeated difficult situations,which seem to have become your set patterns,but they wil
