My First Experience with Coconut Oil


2012

Posted in Other | Comments Off

I first learned about coconut oil from a friend who is really into a lot of new age religions. I didn’t actually want to buy the stuff, but he was giving it to me for free. Naturally, like any normal person, I took him up on his offer. However, when he gave the bottle, I frankly didn’t know what to do with the stuff. All I cared about was that I was getting it for free.

Well, my friend told me that he uses it to cook his food, and then he gave me an hour-long talk about the health benefits of coconut oil. I didn’t believe in any of his claims, and when I researched a few things on the internet about coconut oil, it turned out that there’s really nothing special about the stuff.

Still, I’m the kind of guy who likes to try new things, and after a quick search on the internet to make sure that coconut oil won’t cause my body harm, I mixed some of the stuff with regular cooking oil. And you know what? It actually tastes great. I may not believe in any of its health benefits but using coconut oil to cook your food is great.

Building Up the Catering Business

Posted in Cooking | Comments Off

I work for a relatively new catering business that is just getting going. This has been a really interesting experience because I got to see the whole thing get started from the ground up. When I started, we did not even have an industrial coffee maker. We used to use three small coffee pots to make coffee for the whole place and just dump it into the thermos as it was finished. There are a lot of catering supplies that they had to buy in order to get started. There was a lot of money invested in this, which is what I cannot imagine. If the business went under, the owner would suffer a huge loss just from the equipment. At the same time, though, I know they could auction some of it off. I have seen other places having auctions like that so they could do this if they had to.

Food Catering Services: the Complete Package

Posted in Restaurants | Comments Off

Nowadays many people in Florida prefer a Miami catering service rather than preparing the foods all by themselves. It saves us the time and effort of having to go shopping for ingredients and preparing the necessary materials to start the party. That is why we must be aware of the broad variety of services that these caterers can offer.

There are caterers that not only provide the foods for the occasion but also offer equipments such as tables, chairs, glassware, silverware and everything that we need for the event. Although, these may be available, we must clarify if these equipments are already included in the package or we have to rent for these separately. Sometimes, caterers include equipments separately for higher income. But all in all, most of these caterers offer complete packages because these attract more customers.

Hence, no matter what our choices are, we must carefully look at each package to avoid paying too much money on an incomplete package.

My favorite food has always been pizza, for as long as I can remember. And I really love trying out new places for pizza, which was why I recently decided that I was going to order some pizza and try something new in the process. I wanted to find some Pizza Boise companies in my area that I had never tried before, and so I began to look around to see just what I would be able to find out there that had good ratings and that looked like it would be worth giving a try. So as I was looking for some great Pizza Boise out there, I eventually came across the Smoky Mountain Pizza website. This was just what I was looking for; a great pizza place right down the road from where I lived. I could not believe I had never tried it before. It was great!

Since I use have the FryDaddy, I do not have any clean-up apart from the FryDaddy itself, which is minimal. This best deep fryer does steam up a great deal. The only (and I mean only) bad thing is that it could be a little bit small on the amount to fry at once when you wish to cook wings for a crowd, but for the cost I will deal with it. It keeps the oil hot and cooks the meals perfectly every time. I had first checked out fryers at the Williams Sonoma site and decided I did not need one when I found out the outrageous costs they wee charging. The basket is fairly generous and it is easy to use, so look for those qualities when looking for deep fryers for sale. It really works perfectly, it isn’t pricey like many others, and will also fit into your fridge or cupboard very easily.

Spanish Wine Solves It

I don’t condone drinking in large quantities, but it’s amazing how people seem to open up after a few glasses of wine. The other day a friend of mine split up with her boyfriend. I had no idea it was coming as far as I was aware she was okay. I went round to her house with some Spanish wine and some chocolates to comfort her. There’s very little you can do when someone feels this bad but a little wine can just be all you need to unwind. Eventually she told me about all her problems and really opened up. Every girl should have an emergency bottle of wine and chocolates just in case their best friend is in despair. Or, alternatively keep a bottle of good red wine for a birthday present. In fact, I rarely find myself drinking any because I’m always giving bottles to other people.

Mutterings on Wine and Bondiola


2011

When I think of the best hotels in Buenos Aires I think of the Four Seasons and many others. Then I think of the best wine tastings in the world and I think of Malbec. Mendoza is usually next on my list and then my mind wanders to other places in the world. I wonder how the wine market is in Hawaii. There was a friend of mine recently who told me that his parents retired and bought a bed and breakfast in Kauai. I think that that has to be a pretty awesome retirement plan. I would imagine that the most wonderful argentine wine would go very well with some luau food. However, I don’t think that the wine tastings in Hawaii could even compare to all of the awesome wine tastings in Buenos Aires

Speaking of cooking pork I think I am obsessed with the Argentine cut of pork called bondiola. Bondiola I believe is the shoulder of the pig and here in Argentina it is absolutely awesome because it is marbled with fat. Fat tends to be the tastiest part of meat in general. I wish I could just eat all the time without any consequences. Why do there have to be consequences to eating. I think it is so wrong to have consequences to the best things in life. But I suppose also that there has to be a balance.

How does the best balanced wine taste? Very equal I would think. Balance in a wine has to do with the ratio of sugar to acid to phosphate to sulfer. Or something like that. I wonder what a not well balanced wine tastes like since they all say well balanced on the label. I hate the fact that marketing is all about tricking you into believing that the people who want to sell you something are actually telling the truth. I just prefer to put the product in front of them and let them decide for themselves.
