Happy Meal can start early in life

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

I don’t know what happened but it happened very early in my daughter’s life. She was barely speaking when we drove by a McDonald’s and she uttered the words French fries. Though I know she may have had a happy meal or two, I wasn’t sure why she was so familiar with the golden arches. Essentially, McDonald’s foods taste very good. This doesn’t mean that I want her to eat there all the time though. I had to find out why she was so familiar with that particular restaurant….

New restaurants in eastern Iowa

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

I am personally going to make a map of all the restaurants in the eastern Iowa tourism region of the state as I seem to be spending a lot of my time there. My desire first started when a girlfriend of mine in the area started taking me out to eat to repay me for chores that I had done for her. I did a lot of chores so there were a lot of meals. She doesn’t like to take the time to cook so the restaurant idea was launched. We only went to the same restaurant once every other meal was at a different place. The funny thing was that we would start to run into the same people in different establishments. Then I found out one of the things she did was to read the local attractions section of the paper. She would read about a place with a good review and want to go check it out. Apparently there were several other couples in the area doing the same thing. Most of these restaurants were recently opened and it seems that is one of the best ways to get your initial business. You call up the local paper and offer their food critic a free meal in exchange for a review.

Cheese - Aging Cheese to Perfection

Sunday, March 18th, 2007
One of the most important steps in the making of cheese is the aging process. It can be nearly absent, in which case so-called fresh cheese is produced. That’s consumed right away and there are many fine cheeses of this type. But the majority experience aging of various lengths.

It isn’t just the amount of time a cheese is aged, however, that contributes heavily to the flavor and consistency of the final product. Anyone can let a piece of cheese sit on a shelf.

Caviar, a luxury article.

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

Hors d’oeuvres at expensive functions often serve caviar spread on bread or crackers. This combination is a favorite with champagne at wedding receptions. There is a hierarchy with different varieties being valued above others.

The Beluga kind is very expensive as is Ossetra and Seruga. The Beluga Sturgeon however, is on the list of endangered species and the US has now banned the black caviar from that source found in the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea.

Other sources are in danger of extinction, due to polluted waters and over fishing. One of the most popular varieties, favored by the world’s rulers of the past is the Sterlet. This fish that produces golden colored caviar is in great danger of disappearing from our seas.
