Intelligence is using what you already know and have at your disposal in order to effectively solve a problem. This means that the quantity of books one person reads doesn't equate, or increase the amount of intelligence a person has. Also, a college degree or the amount of money a person has, is not in any way an indicator of someone's amount of intelligence. The only way to measure the "IQ" of a person is to give the person in question multiple problems from different areas and measure the amount of time needed for the correct answer to be found.
If you find yourself facing an abusive partner, that likes to force you to feel stupid by making fun of you, mock you, or in any other way belittle you especially in front of other people, read on. This can mean that your significant other has confidence issues, or that your partner doesn't trust you, or feels left out in an emotional way. The best action to perform in this situation is to have an open conversation about what is happening in order to achieve a higher level of understanding each other.
Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.
Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.
Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
