Coffee And Cream

During the recent years, we have been taken over by an experience a lot different from others. An experience of pure and unadulterated goodness…one that makes a rollercoaster ride like a slow turtle in mud. An experience that makes chocolate fantasies like a dream of rotting corpses.

An experience so magical, so unique and so electrifying that many people are standing in line to be served the ultimate coffee experience.

We have seen them sprout and mushroom almost everywhere. Cafe’s and coffee shops have been steadily increasing in number not only in urban areas but in suburban and rural areas as well.

Interesting Beer Games To Go With Your Food

Most beer games are designed to get the players as loopy as possible. I’ve listed a few here that at least require a modicum of skill and not as much chug-a-lugging. I’ll say it again: Be responsible and don’t torture yourself and others around you by drinking too much. Most beer games are takeoffs of basic non-beer games.

Beer Ping-Pong

Players place a full glass of beer one paddle-width from the edge of the ping-pong table. If you hit your opponent’s cup, you earn a point and your opponent must slip. If you get the ball in your opponent’s cup, you earn five points and he or she must drink the whole cup. (Don’t swallow the ball!)

Vineyard Establishment And Management

As demand for wine increases across the United States and the entire world, the planting of new vineyards has become more popular and lucrative. Existing wine producers are having a difficult time increasing production capacity simply because there are not enough grapes. Subsequently, there is high competition for new grapes, which is driving the increased planting of new vineyards.

Fast Food

A couple of years ago KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) used the following slogan in their ads, “There’s fast food, and then there is KFC.” Although they were trying to suggest that their food was in a class above the typical fast food restaurants, I took it to mean “slow service” (which I found to be true on more than one occasion).

I had my first “Whopper” from Burger King in 1966 in Chicago. As a kid, I loved their char grilled burgers with fresh ingredients. I haven’t had one in years but recently I ordered a Whopper at our local Burger King and was incredibly disappointed with the service and product. I got something that was whipped together with little expertise and mashed down. Frankly, it didn’t resemble anything like what I first experienced 41 years ago.

Chicken On The Grill - Some Tips

Enjoy a summer (or winter if you are real keen) grill. Cook up some chicken in a way to impress your guests. If cooking up marinated chicken, cook up some vegetables as a complement. Its fun to try different foods.

The most challenging thing with cooking chicken is to make sure that it is cooked right through, with a nice crispy outside. Uncooked chicken can harbor some real nasties.
