20 Things the beginning Cook Needs in the Cupboard (Plus One)

If you're anyone like the typical American in the early 21st century, your kitchen could use some help. I know mine could: It's small, there's not enough counter space, and there literally is not enough warehouse in my cupboards. And yet, there are ways to make even the worst kitchen work well enough to cook decent meals consistently.

A first step is having on hand the basic ingredients you need. These will vary depending on your preferences and how often you cook, as well as either you resolve to bake cookies or cake for sweetmeat once in a while. But with a few basics in your cupboard, you'll be amazed at the variety of meals you can make fast and easily.

Food And Dessert

For starters, some dry staples:
Pasta (choose the shapes you prefer) and rice
Salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices you like (I advise basil, oregano, thyme, chili powder, garlic powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and parsley for starters)
All-purpose flour
Granulated sugar

Now, add some liquid seasonings:
Olive oil (buy the top capability you can afford of the type you prefer. If extra virgin is too strong for your taste, don't worry!)
Canola or vegetable oil
Balsamic vinegar (start with a small bottle; you'll be amazed at the uses you find for this!)
Soy sauce

Some vegetables that store well for long periods come in handy
Russet potatoes
Yellow or white onions
Fresh garlic (if you buy fresh, you can skip the garlic powder listed with the spices above)

Perishables in refrigerator that you will use often include:
Butter or margarine
Eggs
Lemon (or lemon juice
Cheese
Salsa
Ketchup
Mayonnaise
Milk (If you're not a milk drinker, buy non-fat dried milk so you don't have to worry about spoilage)

And finally, stash a few cans in your cupboard:
Tomato sauce
Chicken stock

With these staples, all you need to add are some fresh items each week - meat, produce, dairy - for an phenomenal estimate of different, easy meals.

This list may seem a bit daunting, but remember two things. First, you don't have to buy everything at once, especially the spices. Buy what you need as you need it, but keep track of what you have so you don't buy it again! Second, this entire list can be bought for less than 0. If you can spare that estimate of money to stock your kitchen all at once, go for it! Think of how fast you would spend that cash eating out. The return on your 0 investment in terms of your time, your health, and your calorie count is well worth it.

Ideas For Low-Cost Morale Boosters

During this modern period of economic difficulty, one frequent request our clients have asked is "What can we do to boost staff morale without breaking the bank?" This is a great request at any time, but applies especially now as many fellowships have been through force reductions - which always affects morale. Below is a list of compiled suggestions that you may find helpful for giving your employees just the morale boost they need.

Ideas for Low-Cost Morale Boosters

Food And Dessert

Simply saying "thank you" does not cost a penny and goes an incredibly long way. There are many creative ways to say thanks such as:

* Write a note of appreciation
* Award a certificate of appreciation
* Leave a thank you post it note in the employee's work area
* Announce your thanks over the company's paging system
* Publicly express your thanks at a company meeting or event

Random Acts of Kindness (similar to the holiday favorite underground Santa). Employees that choose to share choose the name of an additional one participating employee and sometime that week do a miniature something for their chosen person. Some ideas are doing their chosen person's filing, answering their phone, bringing them a flower or bringing them a doughnut and a cup of coffee.

Hold a silly contest such as; Ugliest Tie, Silliest Socks, Ugliest Pants or Ugliest Sweater and award prizes to the winners.

Have "Late Day Mondays." If possible, once a month allow your employees to arrive an hour late on a Monday morning - or leave an hour early on a Friday.

Sponsor a "Noon Movie." Once a month (depending on employee schedules), set up a Vcr in the lunchroom and show a funny movie during lunch. If time is limited, show reruns of "Seinfeld," "Fraser," or other comedies. You can also have employees sign up to bring in their favorite movies to share with their co-workers.

Run a "Guess the Baby" contest. Ask the staff to bring in baby photos and post them on the wall. Award a prize to the employee(s) who can guess the most correctly.

Conduct non-monetary office pools on high profile events such as the Oscars, the Superbowl or the Nba Championship.

Have a pot-luck, which encourages employee participation and is cost effective. In addition, there are a plethora of variations such as; breakfast or lunch, holiday themes, cuisine from distinct cultures, color themed foods or an all sweetmeat pot-luck.

Set up a "Humor Corner." prescription one section of the office as the place for humor, and encourage employees to post cartoons, jokes, or other funny material. purchase some disposable cameras and ask employees to randomly take candid shots of each other, and add them to the "Humor Corner." (Make sure to get the employee in the photo's permission before posting.)

Send birthday and / or anniversary cards to employee's homes. This uncomplicated and sweet gesture will remind employees that you care about them as people.

Take your employee out for a cup of coffee or if you manage a amount of employees, bring coffee and bagels one morning for the whole group.

Many of the suggestions above are contests and of course, contests should have prizes. Prizes do not have to be justify and there are many low cost prizes, such as:

* A pair of movie tickets
* An hour or two of paid time off
* Leaving an hour early or arrival in an hour late
* Granting an extended lunch period
* A special parking space for a day, week or month
* Place a photo of the winner(s) on the "Humor Board"
* Print out Award Certificates
* .00 gift cards to a local coffee shop, yogurt shop or gas station.
* Flowers or a plant for their desk(s)
* Box of chocolates or a jar of candy/trail mix

1. Raw honey never spoils! It can be used as a natural preservative; the Egyptians used it for such purposes.

Acacia, Chestnut, Oak, Wild Thyme, Heather, Lemon Blossom, Orange Blossom, Lavender, Rosemary, Eucalyptus.

4. Honey may make you live longer! It is a longevity food of the highest order. Bee keepers in Russia are known to have lived long lives - well into their hundreds - there diet was rich in honey and pollen!

5. No other sweetener has the unique enzyme profile that honey does. Raw honey can contain over 5000 enzymes. Enzymes are the fuel of life which gives honey the edge as fuel source over other sweeteners.

How to Pair Wine With Chocolate

Planning a festive dinner? Might there, just possibly, be wine involved?

Chocolate too? Can you drink wine with chocolate?

Food And Dessert

The riposte is easy - yes! But what wine? What chocolate?

That riposte can be easy too: select a wine you like and some chocolate you like. But it's easy to do good than that.

A basic principle of pairing wine with food is that they should both have similar body. That's to say, a strong, heavy dish needs the power of a big, structured wine. And a light, delicate between-meal edible matches good with a dainty, subtle wine. Big matches big, and petite matches little. I mean, if a sumo wrestler dons a frilly pink dress, you're going to laugh, right? Maybe not in his face, but you'll find it strange.

For example, a delicate scallop entree is going to get clobbered by a hefty California Cabernet Sauvignon. And you'll hardly taste your delicate white with a two-pound grilled Florentine steak. Most chocolate desserts are on the heavier side, so they want a big wine.

That's the main thing, but you can mix and match flavors too: it's like cooking. If the wine has some nutty-almond notes, it's going to compliment the sweet, toasted aromas of the chocolate. A hint of vanilla from oak-aged wine makes an perfect complement to the chocolate. And the contrasting acidity of a well-balanced wine will cut straight through that sweet chocolate coating your mouth. Part of what makes a good pairing is a wine that cleans your mouth, so you're ready to indulge in more food.

One final note on pairing wine with sweets: The wine should be sweeter than the dessert. Otherwise, the sweetness of the sweetmeat brings out too much sourness in the wine. You can try some big dry reds with chocolate too. Many people enjoy a California Zinfandel or even a Bordeaux with bitter, dark chocolate.

So here are some ideas to match with the chocolate sweetmeat you want to impress your friends with:

Many Monbazillacs or Sauternes from southwestern France can hold their own against a rich chocolate dessert. Sagrantino Montefalco Passito is a delicious, full-bodied, red sweetmeat wine from Perugia, in Italy's Umbria region.

Also consider something even bigger, such as a Tawny Port from Portugal, a Pedro Ximenez Sherry from Spain, or even a Marsala Ambra Superiore from the sunny shores of Sicily.

Whatever you choose, the most important thing is that you drink a wine you like... And that you don't laugh at the sumo wrestler.

Wine Trails - Illinois Welcomes Wine travel Lovers

Much like the surrounding states of Missouri, Iowa, and Indiana, Illinois offers any attractive destinations to wine trip lovers. You'll find clusters of wineries in every part of the state, together with metropolitan Chicago. Grapes grow well here, and Illinois vintners display their creativity by making a tempting array of wines that are attracting national press.

Our destination for this trip, the Shawnee Hills Region, is an lawful American Viticultural Area, established in late 2006. It's the first Ava in Illinois. In essence, designation as an Ava tells the normal public the grapes, and wines, are unique and special. Further, wines can be labeled Estate Bottled if 80% of the wine grapes generate from the Ava's region.

Food And Dessert

As of late 2008, Illinois boasts roughly 60 wineries. You're never far from a great wine touch here in Illinois!

All Aboard For Wine Country

In the far southern part of the state, less than an hour from the Kentucky border, you'll find the Shawnee National Forest region. This lush, green, roughly rugged territory stretches 80 miles east to west and about 20 miles north/south. The northern gateway to the area is the college town of Carbondale, home to Southern Illinois University and a suitable Amtrak hub for travelers heading to Memphis or New Orleans. We booked round trip assistance on Amtrak's Illini line and relished the belief of relaxing with a good book and enjoying the Illinois scenery on the way to Illinois' first wine country, the Shawnee Wine Trail.

Arriving in Illinois Wine Country

With a late Thursday advent and two full days of wine touring ahead of us, we headed straight for our lodging after arriving in Carbondale. Our choice, which we highly recommend, is the Giant City Lodge, 12 miles from the Amtrak station.

Giant City Lodge, placed in Giant City State Park, was originally built in the 1930's by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Local construction materials were used, and the lodge itself is a sturdy structure of sandstone and white oak timber. One of the lodging options is the Historic Cabins, which was our option for our weekend stay.

The "historic" cabins are of course newer cabins which sit on the sites of the former cabins built 70 years ago. These one room cabins are charmingly comfortable and clean. For families, larger cabins are available. The only downside we saw is that pets are not allowed, but if you want to bring your pet, there are any other lodging options in the area.

Day One On The Shawnee Wine Trail

The next morning, fresh off a great breakfast and a attractive hike in Giant City State Park, we headed off to begin our wine exploration for the weekend with a stop at Owl Creek Vineyard. Immediately, we learned why the Shawnee Hills Region is ideal for wine travelers.

All ten wineries are within 15 miles of one another, and while the roads are a bit winding, the scenery is so beautiful and the air so fresh and clean, the short drives are very enjoyable.

This beautiful region is bordered by the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and the land is everywhere from 400 to 800 feet higher here than the immediate surrounding area. This in and of itself creates a unique microclimate. It's cooler in summer, warmer in winter, and there's a longer growing season, along with consistent summer breezes which help dry out the grapes and vineyards. The soil drains well, and it's rich in sandstone and limestone. In short, a perfect area for growing grapes!

There are 10 wineries on the Shawnee Wine Trail, and a limited easy math told us we could visit them all in 2 1/2 days. Both Friday and Saturday called for four winery visits each, with two left over for early Sunday afternoon. This is an ideal schedule for the dedicated wine tourist. A good, hearty breakfast followed by two late morning winery visits. Then, a stop for lunch and sightseeing, and two more wineries in the afternoon.

And so, our day one schedule consisted of visits to Owl Creek Vineyard, Blue Sky Vineyard, Orlandini Vineyards, and finally Star View Vineyards. This makes for a leisurely, attractive day, with plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and a local lunch stop.

Our first stop on the trail is Owl Creek Vineyard, placed just over 4 miles from Giant City State Lodge. Open since 1995, this family operated vineyard and winery uses grapes that are well known in this region, like Chambourcin, Norton, Seyval Blanc, Chardonnel, and a new favorite of ours, Villard. Owl Creek is a true taste of southern Illinois, as all wines are made with grapes grown in this area.

For starters, we liked ChardonOwl, a toasty white in the Chardonnay style and made with Chardonnel grapes. From the red side, try Owl's Leap, a great Chambourcin style wine with hints of clove and anise. Every wine here is filled with depth and intrigue. We propose you find out if Owl Creek can ship to your state, as their wines are great examples of the Shawnee Region Ava.

When you leave Owl Creek, tiptoe three miles up Water Valley Road and you'll arrive at Blue Sky Vineyard, our second stop of the morning. This is one of the most beautiful winery settings on this or any other wine trail. A large Tuscan style winery construction and tasting room set the stage, with two outdoor terraces overlooking row after row of vines.

We were a bit early for lunch, but Blue Sky is a perfect stop if you're hungry. Items like pulled pork on a croissant, pizza, and chicken salad round out a nice menu, and of course, there are numerous wines for you to taste!

Our favorite was Infinity, a semi dry white made with Geisenheim grapes. All sorts of fruit flavors will dance with your taste buds - we sensed ripe melon and grapefruit. possibly even more excellent was the Chambourcin Reserve, a complicated award winner that just might be the best of this style we've had. We loved the dark cherry flavors mingling with rich dark spices, along with a burst of vanilla mid palate.

Now it was off to Orlandini Vineyard, where we planned a picnic lunch by their peaceful vineyard pond. Orlandini's location is atop one of the top ridges in southern Illinois, so be ready to be impressed by the view.

With plenty of time on our hands, we decided to split a bottle of Orlandini's White Chambourcin. A white chambourcin is created by removing grape skins while the early part of the wine making process. The ensue is an roughly blush colored wine with all the spicy fruit stylings of a good Chambourcin. We left with two bottles to add to our Illinois wine collection, along with a bottle of Vidal, a semi dry white full of grapefruit flavor.

Later on Friday afternoon, we visited our final winery of the day, Star View Vineyards. This is an additional one perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine outdoors. There's a large, sizable deck that overlooks koi ponds and the surrounding countryside. Make sure to visit the gift shop here, as there are all sorts of one of a kind gifts for those on your list!

We visited on a beautiful fall day, so we decided to buy a glass of wine each and enjoy the deck. The two Star View wines we tried were Silver Star, a white, and Norton, a red.

Silver Star is an easy sipper, slightly sweet. It's a blend of white grapes, with Niagara in the forefront. We were intrigued by the Norton, a style tasteless to colse to Missouri wineries. We found Star View's Norton exceptional, bursting with dark fruit flavors and complicated on the palate. What a perfect happy hour!

There are numerous small towns in the area with local restaurants, so you'll have plenty of choices if you want to wander. Also, it's well worth noting the charming town of Cape Girardeau, Missouri is only 25 miles away. We visited there late Sunday morning and early afternoon. There's a French sway in Cape Girardeau and it's well worth your time if you're a fan of historic river towns.

Day Two On The Trail

Saturday brought us the chance to visit the western side of the Shawnee Wine Trail. After an additional one brisk morning hike, our first winery of the day is legacy Valley in the small village of Cobden. Cobden is 2 miles south of the more well known Alto Pass, and 7 miles north of Jonesboro.

Open since 2003, legacy Valley offers a pleasant tasting room and free tasting of six wines. We decided to splurge a bit and buy a wine glass and unlimited tastings for each.

We of course enjoyed our time here because legacy Valley offers a real sample of southern Illinois. roughly all of their grapes and other fruits are locally grown. When you stop here, be sure to try the varied port wines as they are a house specialty.

Our favorite legacy Valley wine was Two Worlds. This off dry red wine is a blend of two grapes that do very well here, Cabernet Franc and Norton. an additional one very enjoyable option was Roadside Red, a limited sweeter and softer on the palate.

Next on the schedule was the unofficial wine center of southern Illinois, Alto Pass. Here you'll find three wineries - Hedman Vineyards, Alto Vineyards, and Von Jakob Winery. You can of course visit all three in one afternoon, they are that close to one another. If you arrive at lunch time as we did, Hedman is a great place to start. You can enjoy an old fashioned Swedish lunch at the Peach Barn, on the winery grounds and quite well known in these parts.

Hedman Vineyards is one part bed and breakfast, one part cafe, and one part winery. It's a unique destination and one of the most favorite attractions in the area. Do eat here if you get a chance. We stopped for lunch and among other delicacies enjoyed the sampler platter. This Swedish pleasure offered tastes of all the following: pickled herring, creamed caviar, Swedish meatballs, lingonberries, and hardboiled eggs. You can also indulge on a very good pecan crusted chicken breast salad, served with warm homemade bread.

The tasting room is adjacent to the cafe, and we propose the Chambourcin and the Tucker Hill Red. Chambourcins are prominent here, and in neighboring Missouri. Full bodied, spicy, and smooth, this was a winner. For something slightly sweeter, Tucker Hill Red fits the bill. It's a blend of Chambourcin and Concord, with neither grape dominating the flavor.

Alto Vineyards has long been on our radar. It's the oldest and largest winery in the area and one of the most well known and respected in Illinois. This pioneering winery was the first to plant grapes for market wine production in the early 1980's.

We noted the Alto wines are widely ready colse to the area, but you of course should stop here if you're in this neck of the woods. There's a relaxed, peaceful vibe and it's a great place to spend an hour or two. The gift shop is stocked with unique specialty foods and you can relax on the grounds with a glass of Alto wine for only .

We particularly enjoyed the white wines here, possibly because we focused on reds at Hedman. Nonetheless, you won't go wrong with Heartland White, a semi dry gift with the pleasant scent of lemon petals and apple palate. an additional one favorite was Wiener Dog White, a charming blend of any grapes with pear and mango tones. If you're so inclined, buy a few bottles to go. Prices are reasonable!

Saturday afternoon's last winery was Von Jakob Winery, where you can cozy up to the indoor or outdoor fireplace and sample any of their 20+ wines. We split the unlikeness in the middle of red and white here and enjoyed Von Jakob's White Chambourcin, and fun and fruity blush. We also picked up a few bottles for home and can without fail propose Chateau Red, a real business transaction at . This deep, complicated red bursts with flavors of black cherry and pairs wonderfully with a grilled rib eye!

And On The 7th Day ... We Drank Wine

With our Amtrak departure scheduled well into the afternoon, we were able to visit the final two wineries on the Shawnee Wine Trail. Our first, Pomona Winery, is quite near one of the most well known natural attractions in the area, limited Grand Canyon.

We arrived at Pomona Winery just after noon, ready to sample some of Pomona's unique apple wines. Wine lovers often look down their nose at apple wines, but we've always been fans. The compound of tart and sweet is a delight, and we've been intrigued by the varied blends and styles. Our favorite here was the Jonathan Oak Aged Reserve, kind of compound chardonnay and apple wine. You'll note the appetizing apple taste along with the oakiness found in the chardonnay style, balanced with the mellowness of aging. This wine has won any Midwest wine competition medals and is one of the most unique apple wines we've ever tried.

Pomona offers nine other wines, together with some attractive port style and sweetmeat wines. All are made with fruit grown in the immediate area.

From here, it was on to Kite Hill Vineyards in Carbondale. This was our last stop as it's not far from the Amtrak station. It's a beautiful setting, with a charming bed and breakfast just waiting for you to visit. meander colse to the adjacent lake or sidle up to the sizable outdoor deck and enjoy a glass of Traminette or White Chambourcin. We took a bottle of each to go, and headed to the Amtrak hub for our journey back to Chicago.

The Shawnee Hills Wine Trail is ideal for a weekend escape. You'll enjoy the plenty of nature and a blossoming array of unique wineries to tempt your taste buds. And if you don't want to drive, Amtrak takes you right to the trails front door.

We encourage you to visit southern Illinois wine country and relax in the natural splendor of the Midwest!

16 Quick Tips for Eating at Restaurants or Work

Most of us eat at restaurants for a variety of reasons; time and convenience are the most tasteless motives. Below is a ready list of quick tips for eating out of your home.

If you eat wholesome food or sensible portions, that you like, you can stick with eating wholesome for life.

Food And Dessert

Your portions should be spaced out over the course of the day. Water should be a part of every meal.

After you eat, your stomach should be half full, or less, with food. For every two parts of food consumed, you should drink one part water. Leave your stomach at least one quarter empty for movement of air.

When eating at a restaurant, eat half a portion, maximum, and wait five or ten minutes. bistro portions are ordinarily two to four meals on a single or duplicate plate.

This is way too much to consume at a single sitting and you may find out that, once you pause and sip your drink, you are already full.

In the Providence, Ri area, there are some restaurants where the single portions could feed a house of four. No wonder a man of 200 lbs. Is now considered thin. Do not make comparisons to other people. Eat to live and enjoy your food, but do not use man else's over indulgence as an excuse for your own.

Establish operate over your appetite. Most of us feel guilty if we don't quit a plate. This is commonly conditioning from your childhood. Bury your guilty past and have the rest "wrapped to go."

Always eat something for morning meal and never "skip it." When you skip breakfast, you will over-consume for it, later in the day.

Eat slowly and fully chew your food.

Make sure your last meal, or last "snack" of the day, is small and nutritionally dense. Examples: Cereal with fruit, vegetable salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, rice with vegetables, and light popcorn, without the extra butter and salt. For those who eat meat or fish: turkey, chicken, or salmon salad on top of fresh greens.

In the later part of your day, skip desserts, sugary cereals, bread, and second portions.

If you easily must have sugar: Eat fruit, strawberries with yogurt or low fat bungalow cheese, fruit with rice, or almonds with yogurt.

If you must have coffee or alcohol, beware that these should be consumed in extreme moderation. Both substances will dehydrate your body, and you will have to drink extra water to make up for it. Wine is much good than hard alcohol, but one or two glasses a day is the limit.

Coffee consumption should be held to the same guidelines (one or two a day). Remember that green tea is a good substitute for coffee.

Nutritious food is not an excuse for over indulgence. Even when you eat all the right things, the volume consumed should be in moderation. It will take a lot of Sun Salutations, and Yoga classes, to make up for overeating anything.

Make your meal a meditation. Pause every few minutes, think about the number you have eaten, be thankful for your life, and breathe.

Preventing Weight Gain - How to Avoid Gaining Weight Over the Holiday Season - Part 2

A lot of citizen out there connect over eating with having a good time, but if you are one such person you must turn this mind set. I promise you you will have a great time during and long after the holidays are over if you eat proper portion sizes.

Do not neglect your exercise disposition during the holiday season. It is important that you keep exercising during the season, and by the way, going shopping for gifts does not count, you need a quarterly disposition of both aerobics and power training. This will at least keep your weight under operate so that come January you are not pulling your hair out seeing at a run away scale.

Food And Dessert

Reduce your portion sizes when eating. Try not to pile on the food on your plate on the first round, but instead take a small portions, chew your food properly, and eat slowly. This will forestall you from overeating. And once you feel full then that is your cue to stop eating.

Try not to have desserts at every particular meal during the holiday season. The holiday season is not a license to eat more desserts! If you must have desserts them at least have a bowl of fruit or a fruit salad. Avoid desserts such as pies and ice streams and foods with high-fat and high sugar content that are very refined, these foods tend to go directly to your bottom line.

Avoid drinking alcohol in any form, as this is very high in calories and have surely no nutritional value to your body. Also try not to drink too much eggnog, sodas and other high sugar drinks, instead just have a glass of water. Water is all your body needs, and it will also help you from overeating.

A lot of citizen connect separate sounds, such as music with eating, during the holiday season. And as I said earlier the holiday season tend to get longer and longer each year. It is astonishing that we start to hear Christmas music playing on the radio and in the store's from as early as October. Hearing these music while you shop is one thing but my guidance is still limit the playing of these music in your own home so early in the season. The holiday music, sights, and smells will trigger your subconscious to want to eat. Support the holiday music for the appropriate time.

Try not to starve yourself before going to a house get-together over the holiday season. Denying yourself food will only growth your hunger intensity and this will force you to over eat when the food is finally presented to you. Try to stay on program and eat your three meals as general during the day. Have a big breakfast, moderate lunch, and a light dinner.

This brings me to my next point, try not to eat after 7 Pm at night during the holiday season. I know this will be hard to do as a lot of times separate parties and get-together do not get started until well after 8 Pm. But eating this late at night will force your body to store the excess as fat. So if you must eat late at night then you should significantly sell out your portion sizes, and aim more for the fruits and vegetables.

Gaining weight is a real risk during the holiday season. With most American adults putting on at least six extra pounds from Thanksgiving straight through to Christmas. But you can surely avoid this trend, and not come to be a statistic by following these simple tips during the season.

Happy holidays

A common dilemma in pairing food and wine is what wine to serve with spicy food. Acids, tannins and sugars in wine interact with food so we will use this knowledge in our food and wine pairing.

To acknowledge the quiz, of what wine to pair with food that is spicy, we need to know something about capsaicin, the pain- or pleasure-producing component of Chile peppers, and the food and wine pairing relationship.

Food And Dessert

Capsaicin activates pain receptors in the mouth. These pain receptors are also sensitive to temperature. Hot beverages, like sake or tea, will turn on these pain receptors and kick up the heat. Cold drinks will turn off the pain receptors, but as soon as the mouth warms up again, the burn returns.

Food and wine pairing is highly subjective.

However, when pairing wine with spicy foods there are benefits to consider in pairing spicy foods with Riesling wine. Wine by itself tastes separate than wine paired with food. The wine's corollary on the food's flavor is similar to the way spice affects a food flavor.

Capsaicin is fat soluble. A dairy drink that is cold, high in acidity to stimulate salivary flow, but with some sweetness proven to ameliorate the burn, makes yogurt an efficient antidote.

When it comes to wine and spicy food pairing, Rieslings, particularly low alcohol German Kabinett and Spatlese, are efficient at soothing the burn because they have a lot in common with yogurt: the cold temperature turns off the pain receptors, high acidity stimulates salivary flow, and the sweetness soothes the palate from very hot or spicy foods.

Hot and spicy Thai dishes, or hot curries, taste best with sweet dessert wines.

Some hot and spicy Thai dishes, or hot curries for example, often taste best when the food is paired with sweet dessert wines. The sweet, botrytis-affected wines that can be paired with spicy foods are rated in ascending order of sweetness: Auslese, Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese. The low alcohol (8-10%) compared to Alsatian, Austrian and southern hemisphere Rieslings (12-15%) is an added benefit because alcohol also activates oral pain receptors (think about a shot of vodka) and will therefore kick up the burn.

Expensive wines made from Riesling are late harvest dessert wines and can be a compliment when paired with very spicy foods.

These wines are produced by letting the grapes hang on the vines well past general picking time. Evaporation is caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea ("noble rot") or by freezing, as in the case of ice wine (in German, Eiswein), where water is removed and the resulting wine offers richer layers on the palate. These concentrated wines have more sugar (in extreme cases hundreds of grams per liter), more acid (to give equilibrium to all the sugar), more flavor, and more complexity.

Don't stress over the exquisite food and wine pairing. The key to the pleasure of wine and food pairing is naturally relaxing and enjoying conviviality with the most important ingredients, friends and loved ones.

dinner Party Mistakes to Avoid

Dinner parties can be a lot of fun but there are a few mistakes that people seem to make when organising them. First of all, you should keep the menu simple, and that means the food as well as the drinks.

You do not need to make fancy pre-dinner cocktails because most people will be happy with a beer or a glass of wine. You should also stick to easy starter recipes and straightforward appetizers, rather than trying to impress people with fancy and elaborate dishes.

Food And Dessert

Keep Things Simple

Think about the food. Why not make some make ahead starter recipes and make ahead desserts? These will be fine in the fridge while you quit off the main course. If you are barbecuing, then plan something you can cook wholly outdoors.

Forget having to barbecue the meat or fish outdoors and cook the vegetables on the stove because you will be running back and forth all evening trying to watch everything.

The Seating Plan

Another mistake is to do with the seating arrangements. You have two choices here - you can let people sit wherever they choose or you can make a seating plan. If you are production a seating plan, think about seating people next to other people they might get along with.

Do not sit people who do not easily get along next to one other because there will be a lack of conversation! You can try changing the seats between each course. This is sometimes a lot of fun and it means that distinct people will get to meet one other and talk to one another.

And the Best evening meal Party Success Tip?

The best tip is the first one we told you - keep things simple. This cannot be stressed enough! A complicated menu is bound to lead to disaster. Keep the menu straightforward and easy and that easily minimises the things that can go wrong.

A evening meal party is about enjoying yourself and enjoying the firm of your guests. You can impress them well enough with straightforward starter recipes, a first-rate main course and a make-ahead

Burn Fat Fast! hidden to Accelerate Your Efforts!

In my previous article, I have shared with you on how hard we should exercise so that we can make each session of hard work at the gym counts. Do you know that post workout munchies are leading as well?

It is indubitably not a good idea to reward yourself with food after a gym session as you may undo all your hard work in the gym. I guess we may unknowingly fall into the trap that sounds just too familiar, "I have just completed my workout, it is ok to indulge a little!" or "I can all the time workout more tomorrow to compensate for my indulgence today!"

Food And Dessert

These seem to be the suitable excuses for the post workout feasting but microscopic did we know that doing so sabotages our efforts to achieve weight loss especially if you are in the initial stage of losing weight vs say maintaining your weight.

So you may be wondering what exactly is the private that i am going to share with you. Basically, the private is my 5 golden rules that has worked well for me personally. Strict adherence to the rules together with the right intensity workout will help you step up your efforts to burn those extra fats off! The 5 golden rules are:-

No fast food
No fried food
No sugar/sweet food e.g. dessert
No cakes
No pastries

I think i can imagine the bewildered look on some of you because we are normally being told that moderation is the key, is it possible to give up all these food completely? "I love my cakes and pastries when i go hi-tea" and" i simply cannot give up chocolates and my favourite dessert!"

Well, I do agree that it is impossible to abstain from a distinct type of food and therefore, these rules to aid your fat burning efforts are only applicable on weekdays. You can relax the rules a bit over the weekends as weekends are normally the time for fun when you hang out with your family/friends or love ones.

However, that is not to say that you can give yourself the go-ahead on weekends and eat as much as you like. For some people, they may feel deprived and end up "compensating" themselves by giving in to their cravings when they lose control. Hence having a bit of leeway to allow a microscopic exceptions on weekends will help curb such problems.

Looking at the 5 golden rules, it is assuredly a plus if you can make it a point to indubitably cut them out from your diet consistently as most of the food indubitably load you with extra calories. Remember, you all the time have a selection when it comes to what you want to put into your mouth.

Of course, to equilibrium the other part of the fat loss equation, consistent efforts to engage in cardio exercise 5-6 times a week at the Strict intensity as discussed previously coupled with Strict adherence to the 5 golden rules should allow you to see the needle in your weighing motor swing left.

Caravan Touring Ideas In Lorraine, France-For Foodies And Wine Lovers

If you are considering visiting, or caravan touring in the region of Lorraine, then this narrative has some novel caravan touring ideas which are also grand to other types of travellers; although there is a extra emphasis on touring ideas for food and wine lovers.

An overview Of Lorraine

Food And Dessert

The boundaries of the beautiful French region of Lorraine have been rather fluid since Roman times, in the main, due to its being carved into three portions upon the death of Charlemagne in 843. The portions were distributed to his grandsons courtesy of the Holy Roman Empire. Lorraine, all the time seen as a strategic area, has borders with Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg, giving the region, in parts, a very cosmopolitan, European air rather than one that is definitively French.

Indeed, national control of the region has passed between Germany and France on more than one occasion, ultimately becoming French, once again, in the early twentieth century. Despite governmental efforts to unify language across the more newly acquired regions, many people in the north of Lorraine speak Franconian, not French, as their first language - a reminder that Lorraine (and its sister, Alsace) were, in fact, given over to France from Germany in the Versailles Treaty at the end of World War I in 1918.

Lorraine has a very strong Catholic heritage. The double cross carried by Joan of Arc and much later, during World War Ii by Charles de Gaulle's soldiery Françaises Libres - Free French Legion, comes from this region.

It is worth noting, if planning to visit the region during the spring months, that few businesses control at full hours during Holy Week, that is, the week important up to Easter. Many will not be open on Holy Thursday and all but none on Good Friday. Indeed, the fantastic sound of church bells, ringing the Angelus each evening, a sound very much connected with the Lorraine region, is absent over the Easter period.

Caravan Touring And food Delights

Of course, when one thinks of Lorraine, one thinks of quiche Lorraine. This region has so much more to offer than this undeniably tasty flan with eggs, cream, Gruyere cheese, and smoked bacon.

A quick foodie note - a quiche Alsacien has the addition of onions. The smoked bacon of Lorraine is used in many a dish often alongside the excellent Breux potatoes, grown in the hamlet of the same name located in the north of the Meuse départment.

Lorraine offers excellent locally reared veal which can be enjoyed in a dish with white wine and pork. Wild boar is another regional speciality, and baked in a buttery puff pastry: the original paté Lorraine. Not to be confused with potée Lorraine, which is a dish where those superb spuds of Breux meet the smokiest of Lorraine bacon in a deliciously hearty stew. Charcuterie of the region has flavours both German and French as typified in the tripe sausage Andouille.

If you are a sweet toothed foodie, then the desserts made of the juicy mirabelle plums grown in Lorraine will de facto tickle your taste buds. They are used in pies, sorbets and in sweet plum wines, that make the excellent aperitif or accompaniment to other sweet treats such as macarons, madelaines or, another sublime export of the Lorraine region, Rum baba. Although only introduced to Lorraine in the eighteenth century via Poland, the locals have perfected the baba au rhum - a yeasty pudding soaked in rum by adding dried fruit made plump with yet more alcohol and topping or filling the pudding with whipped cream.

What About The Cheese Offerings?

Of course, no gastronomic touch is perfect without a cheese board. The region produces Carré de l'Est: a square (the name means "square of the east") which is cows' milk cheese aged for five weeks with a creamy flavour strikingly reminiscent of the region's smoky bacon.

Another cows' milk cheese, Munster-géromé or, simply, Munster, is soft in texture but strong in flavour originating from the expansive Vosges département that separates Lorraine from its neighbour Alsace. Output can be traced back as far as 1371 when it was made by monks and kept in their cellars. This is an Aoc certified cheese (Appellation d'Origine Controllée) meaning that the ingredients and methods for its Output are tightly controlled. It is made from unpasteurised milk and matured for at least two months in damp cellars. Its white rind is washed in brine frequently during this time.

Though France exports much cheese of many varieties, only one has been "exported" beyond the bounds of the planet Earth. That cheese is Lorraine's Brouere. Le Brouere is produced in wheels of 43 centimetres only in the dairy of the Bulgnéville hermitage, also in the Vosges département and has a flavour and texture close to that of Gruyere. It is matured for four to seven months in wooden moulds, with patterns carved by local artisan sculptors, production each cheese a work of art. On the 8th December, 2010 a twelve kilogram wheel of Le Brouere was sent into space on the maiden flight of the Space Dragon X - the first ever commercially made and recovered spacecraft.

Lorraine Wines

Back on Earth, and in the region of Lorraine to be precise, one can enjoy some tasty wines while sitting beneath the stars. Maybe the most sublime of the region's Aoc wines is Cotes de Toul which comes in red, white and, most commonly, vin gris denominated rosé made in general from the Gamay grape variety. These wines are produced in communes in the Meurthe-et-Moselle département just west of the city of Nancy. Whites tend to be Auxerrois Blanc and reds are light and delicate Pinot Noir. There is also a white range made with red grapes known as Grey Wine. These have Toul varieties as well as those produced in the Cote de Meuse Wineries. There are numerous vineyards in the river valleys of Seille and Sierck and the Cote de Moselle wines of the Metz valley.

The Lorraine region was once a large volume beer producer but the breweries have all but disappeared. If you do prefer your beverages in a pint glass, the beer museum in Nancy is worth a visit. A brewery of some growing renown, the Lorraine Brewers, opened in 2003 in the town of Pont-a-Mousson, though older establishments can also be found in Saint Nicolas de Port and Ville sur Illon.

We hope that this has whetted your appetite and that you have found some new and useful data for your when you visit Lorraine, either you are touring colse to in a caravan or enjoying the region some other way.

Burn The Fat - Calorie Cutting Tips And Ideas Part 1

It is inherent to lose weight and eat more healthily without feeling starved or deprived. In fact, taking care to eat meals that satisfy is a good way to ensure that you stay on track with your diet. Here are five tips to help make dieting more of a pleasure.

1. Shop Ahead

Food And Dessert

We've already talked about the significance of planning out your meals. A corollary to that idea is to shop well in advance, to make sure that you have healthy foods and snacks on hand when you need them. When you're hungry and too tired to run out to the store, it may be tempting to fall back on unhealthy eating habits.

2. Eat foods that Taste Great

The ironic thing about unhealthy eating is that many of the foods we eat don't even taste that good. We eat bag after bag of chips without savoring their flavor, we wolf down hamburgers from fast food joints that have only a fraction of the taste that homemade ones do - the list goes on and on.

Many habitancy equate being on a diet with coarse eating, but there is no reason why that should be the case. Integrate on eating foods that you actually enjoy, in moderate quantities. Two spoonfuls of a thoroughly decadent chocolate cake can bring more satisfaction with fewer calories than two handfuls of low-fat cookies.

3. Drink a Full Glass of Water Before you Start a Meal

Water is a very important part of a diet, because it helps wash toxins and other impurities from the cells of your body. Especially when you are on a diet, you should focus on drinking at least two liters of water a day.

Drinking a tall glass of water before your meal has two benefits - it helps you to perform that two-liter goal, and it takes the edge off of your hunger, helping you to keep from overeating.

4. Watch Your part Sizes

If you're following your plan, you probably have a good idea of what you are going to eat at each meal. Where the danger comes in is when you take just a miniature more - for example, the large pork chop instead of the medium you calculated, the second scoop of potatoes, the extra helping of dessert. These miniature extras can actually add hundreds of calories to your diet every day.

If you eat out, the chances are good that the part sizes will be far larger than what you need to feel satisfied. Ask your waiter to bring a to-go box with your food, and put half of your meal aside to bring home. This will remove the temptation to overeat just to clean your plate.

5. Don't Fear Margarine

For a while, margarine was touted as a low-fat alternative to butter, and then it was reviled as perilous in its own rights. The benefit to margarine is that it has far less saturated fats, the unhealthiest type of fat, than butter. The qoute was that it was also high in trans fats, which are also dangerous. Today, however, many brands offer a trans-fat-free margarine, which is a healthier choice for toppings.

How Do I Know a Good College When I See One?

Do you want to go to a good college, or send your child to a good college? everyone hopes for this. That's not the problem. The problem comes in knowing what a good college surely looks like, and knowing what makes one college "good" and an additional one one not so good. There are some things to look for in determining a good college, so think these things before you send off those applications.

Colleges offer worlds of palpate and opportunities, and what might be defined as good for one pupil will not be good for another. The first step is to determine what you need in a college. Put aside the mascot, the surely cool traditions, or your great-grandfather's long-standing tradition that all house members attend a certain college. These factors may not fit your needs. Ask yourself what you surely need, and prioritize that list. You might need it to be in a large city with communal transportation, or you might need it to offer a particular degree, or possibly you need it to fit a certain budget, have on-campus housing, work-study programs, etc. What you need may or may not be what you think it is if you allow yourself to be distracted by mascots, traditions, and school colors. Needs come first!

Food And Dessert

Needs and wants are not the same thing, though. You need food to live, but you don't need dessert. Sweetmeat is nice, when you can have it. After your needs are prioritized, make a isolate wish list. What "desserts" would be nice? Do you want a college that has an intramural basketball or softball league? Do you want to have a variety of communal clubs to consider? These are wants, not needs, and creating your list of desired options is the second part of finding a good college. These will be looked at as options, never as choosing factors. For instance, if your needs can be met by several separate colleges, then you can eliminate those who don't also have your wants covered. Never, never, never select a college because it has all of the items on your wish list if it doesn't also meet your needs list.

The next step is to take benefit of college hunt services. get ready your lists first, and then seek out websites such as College Board or Peterson's College Search. Fill out the hunt options, based on your needs, and see what comes up. You might be surprised to find some colleges that you didn't even consider. Invite catalogs from each of these colleges, and collate as best you can, their attention to detail in the literature that they send, the way in which they address you, etc. If they just send you the catalog, that's fine, but if they go the extra mile and call you, then you know they care about the habitancy who are coming to their school, not just the dollars. First impressions count in this step.

Next, ask for alumni palpate data from the schools that meet all of your needs, and some or all of your wants. Send letters to those alumni and ask them to criticism on their experiences and recommendations. You may have to go straight through an alumni association, which will put you in touch with the most enthusiastic of the school's supporters, but that's okay. If you are working with the alumni groups in each case, you will be able to collate one group to an additional one in terms of what they have gotten from that college out of their post-college experiences with them.

Finally, know that the biggest factor in finding a good college is in making the most out of the time that you are in college, no matter where it is. Any college can be good for you if you are seeking to learn all that you can learn, taking benefit of the expertise offered to you by your professors, and applying yourself diligently to your studies and connections in connected fields. In some respects, this is the extreme test of a good college!
