DJ Tips I strongly recommend a mix of both. Every group of dancers is different, so this isn't an absolute rule, but most dancers prefer a mixture of familiar favorites and new music. Everyone has their favorite tunes that make them happy. And people love having a chance to dance to popular tunes they've heard. So don't leave those out. Then new music is always exciting for most people, including the experienced dancers, so also include those in your mix. DJ's more often err on the side of not enough familiar favorites (or worse, none). This recommendation is specifically for social dance music.

Pero no hace falta que expliquemos todo lo que hay detrás de un buen paty: desde tiernos recuerdos de infancia hasta noches de juerga con pool y cerveza. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 10. Por Cecilia Acuña Perfect Potatoes au Gratin Is there even such a thing as “bad” potatoes au gratin? I really don’t think there is. And that makes the title of this recipe even more weighty. This is a very basic, but exceedingly delicious, version of the much-beloved side dish. Serve it to people you love. Zee Cast of Characters: russet potatoes, heavy cream, whole milk, flour, garlic, salt, pepper, and a little softened butter. Good. Very, very, very good. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, then scrub the potatoes so they’re very clean. It’s a strange religion. Slice the potatoes—not too thick, not too thin. Stack ‘em up as you go… And cut the stacks into fourths. Soon you’ll have a positively prodigious pile of potato pieces. Say that fast five times. Now, in a bowl mix together the cream… The milk… And the flour. Now peel some cloves of garlic. Just be aware that four cloves in this recipe will result in a really garlicky flavor. Add the garlic to the bowl… Followed by the salt and the pepper. Meantime, grate a good cup of cheddar cheese.
Broccoli Cheese Soup: Panera Bread Copycat Recipe On Wednesday my sister and I volunteered to make the soup supper to go with the Advent service at church.

Anyways, we ran out of soup after about ten minutes of serving. So during church I had a sudden inspiration (um, Pastor, if you're reading this, that was a typo. Anways, I burst out of church and ran up to my friend screaming, "Hey guess what!! Yeah. I mean it would be like getting paid to have fun. Okay.
