Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

When people exchange vows there is nothing in the form of business that can be seen in it, at least for the couple. For outsiders however there are a lot of opportunities that lie in waiting and wedding caterers uk are some of the professionals who have found ways of making it in this area. There is however a lot of difficulty that is faced by these experts since they have to work tirelessly but only for minimum amounts. The compensation levels for caterers in the wedding industry are probably the worst of its kind yet there is so much money that can be made. It is also rather hard for a caterer to form their own company since a lot of equipment is needed. A caterer needs to have a tent under which food can be served and he also needs to have machines for cooking and cutlery along with seats and tables. These are expensive to buy which is why many caterers end up working in companies that they do not own and here they get harassed.

Great Eats at the Conference

Friday, December 23rd, 2011

I’ll definitely be frequenting some Midtown Manhattan restaurants this week because I’ll be attending a leadership conference in New York City. I’ve never really been to the city more than once or twice in my life, even though it’s only about an hour and a half away. I’m starting to realize that this is silly, since some people never get to Manhattan in their lives. It’s such a luxury to the relative few of us that live close, and I should be exploring it far more than I currently do. That’s okay though, because I’ll get that chance this week. I’ll definitely be doing my research to figure out all of the different places that I might want to check out. I’ll be with three close friends at the conference, so perhaps we’ll each choose a restaurant and each night of the conference, we’ll go out and treat ourselves to something nice and delicious.

Cilantro and Its Many Uses

Thursday, October 13th, 2011

“What is this chopped green leaves with little seeds on top?” I asked a Jordanian friend who came to the party with me. “Oh! This one? This is Tabouleh. These are parsley leaves chopped into bits then sprinkled with sesame seeds garnished with fresh tomatoes and onions. Try it. It is very nutritious”. The dish looks unappealing to me since I am not fond of vegetables. But when I tasted it, I wanted to taste it over again. My friend was right, I will love it.

I developed an addiction to Tabouleh. I learned that tabouleh’s main ingredient, Chinese parsley is commonly sold in any supermarket, Cilantro or scientifically known as Coriandrum Sativum. It is one of the herbs and spices lists that is always present in most kitchen. Cilantro’s leaves are mostly used in preparing dishes. It also contains anti-oxidant that prevents spoiling of food.

Margarita Machine – How to Have Fun

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

How do you have fun with margarita machines? Well that’s easy. Simply a stack a bunch of margarita machines together and play jenga. If you have not noticed, I’m just being sarcastic. If you have a couple of margarita machines at stock, you should be making margaritas with them! Even if you do not like or do not even drink them, it is still a good idea to use the margarita machine anyway, especially if you already for paid for it. Think of it this way, one man’s treasure is another man’s trash. So in this case the margarita is your trash and it could be someone else’s treasure. What I am trying to say is that you can also have fun by using margaritas in a different way. I’m talking about selling margaritas! You could sell a few margaritas a day and you would have more than enough money to quit your day job.

Dharmas Restaurant in Capitola | Reviews of Restaurants

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

We came to this Capitola restaurant for lunch and were just awed by the decor of the room. It seems very spiritual and holy with a huge portrait of the owner hanging on the wall and a grand piano at the entrance. Anyways, the food at Dharmas Capitola Restaurants was awesome! The raw strawberry cake was to die for!! The crust was a little nutty but the top was moist and creamy, It tastes like a lite version of cheesecake. I also got the spicy thai wrap, it was yummy except a little too salty. I didn’t feel the saltness while eating it. It only kicked in two hours afterwards. Maybe it’s because I ate too much, two whole wraps each the size of a chipotle burrito, and that’s one serving by the way. The staff was friendly, they seem quite proud of their raw vegan dishes and kept telling us that everything is organic. She highly recommended their organic brown rice.I really couldn’t differenciate regular brown rice with organic brown rice, but I’m sure it’s healthier. In general, I’ll definitely come back. I’d love to try out some tofu dishes, looks yummy!
