Motel or Hotel

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

My friend has just been on holiday and cannot stop talking about the ogunquit motels that she stayed in while she was there. She had a great time exploring the area and doing all of the normal touristy things. She had never been before and so it was a chance for her to discover a new area, which she loves doing. What she really liked was the fact that because she wasn’t in one of the big expensive ogunquit ME hotels so she saved some money and could spend more of her holiday budget on eating out in nice restaurants and visiting some fun places.

She thought that the motels offered fantastic value for money and they were comfortable and she met a lot of nice people while she was staying at them. Of course, the same would probably have happened at any of the ogunquit maine hotels but it was great that they managed to go to a budget place and still get the same sort of service that they would have expected from a more expensive hotel. Personally I still find that hard to believe as I think that you tend to get what you pay for but if she was happy then that was all that mattered really.

Tequila worms????????

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008


What is a tequila worm my parents have a bottle of tequila in the house we got in mexico with a worm in it .its old so im not gonna drink it or anything but it looks so gross . people actually eat them ?????????

 

first of all, that is probably mezcal. the addition of a worm to regular tequila is not allowed in mexico. mezcal has a smoky aftertaste. the worm is considered a delicacy in mexico.

The worm

The worms as served at Restaurante Villa Maria in Polanco, Mexico City.

The “worm” (sometimes more than one) commonly seen in bottles of mezcal is actually the larva of one of two kinds of insects. The most common type is that of the agave snout weevil. [1] [2] The “red worm” or gusano rojo is the caterpillar of the Hypopta agavis moth, one of the several kinds of “maguey worm”, found on the agave plant. (Agave worms are sometimes found in the piña after harvesting). Many brands contain such worms. Some are named after the worm itself, as in Gusano Rojo and some are even named for the number of worms, e.g. Dos Gusanos, “Two Worms”. Inside the mezcal, however, the worm is more a marketing substance, as it has lost its nutrients inside the bottle.

When a worm is included, the mezcal is known as con gusano (”with worm”). Aside from its consumption with mezcal, the maguey worm is considered a delicacy in Mexico and can be found on restaurant menus throughout the nation.

The use of the worm is exclusive to mezcal, since the Mexican standards authority, Norma Oficial Mexicana (NOM), prohibits adding insects or larvae to tequila.

Healthy Vegetarian Food???

Thursday, July 31st, 2008


Okayy… SO…. For a while now I have been doing this off and on Vegetarian thing, and the last couple week I have really thought about it and im sure that I want to commit to it but….. my parents don’t really support me. They say that when im doing my veg thing I dont do it right. they say i sould be eating healtyer. Which i know they are right but its really hard for me to do! usually my mom cooks dinner and there is always meat! so i just eat the side dishes… like the other day she made stake and green beans and bread and i just ate the green beans and bread…. then i was starving later and i pigged out on junk food! i know i really need some oraganization and protein in my diet but its really hard for me to do!! i tried eating a tuna sandwich the other dday and it made me gag i couldnt eat it even though i really wanted too… i just didnt like the taste or consistancy!!! also i am lactose intolerant! which really sucks! SO if you can help me that would be great!

 

There are veggie burgers. I like morningstar farms and boca burgers. Morningstar & I’m sure boca too but i dont know, make a lot of other variety of foods, hot dogs, fake ground beef, chicken strips, chicken nuggets, corn dogs. also check around in a local food store sometimes it is with the vegetable section there are other varietys of food there different brands as well as sometimes (possibly this may be in the frozen food section w/ the other meat food) “Amys” is a brand they make vegetarian pre cooked foods like burritos and such. also stir fries are good. look at VEGAN.ORG and go to going vegan. Of course you are not vegan but if youw ant to be that site helps but also it has a list of foods you can eat for breakfast lunch and dinner. just other ideas you can think of. also eat some veggies and fruit.

I’ve been a vegetarian for 7 years (since i was 12) and am just about to go vegan. I really only ate veggie burgers (mornignstar farms’ pizza burger did it for me!) and some rice orsomethign and still don’t really go out of my way with other foods and am perfectly healthy, no anemia or anything. dont let people fool you into thinking you are not healthy. However it is the summer so if you go for a physical before school mention taht you are just starting to be vegetarian and have them check just to make sure that youa re not anemic and are getting enough protein and such (the veggie burgers have a lot of protein usually)

Can I use yogurt to substitute for heavy cream to make whipped cream?

Friday, July 18th, 2008


I wanted to make whipped cream, but I don’t have heavy cream, so I was wondering if I could use yogurt. Would it be the same?

 

Two things. Yogurt is too thick to be whipped, and yogurt is thicker because it has more enzymes and more milk-based liquids than cream. So no. Don’t try it unless you want goop.

I need a good recipe for a bone-in chicken thigh and the few things in my cabinets: garlic, onion, soy sauce..

Monday, June 9th, 2008

You could take your Chicken Thigh and rub it with your Thai Chili Sauce and Oil (canola or vegetable oil would be great) and let that set for about 1/2 hr. to one hour. Then, put that seasoned chicken into a baking dish with your soy sauce and a little chicken broth (chicken bouillon and water: One bouillon cube for 1 cup of water) and bake it, uncovered for about 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 165 for the chicken, especially bone in chicken. Then saute your onions, garlic and Oyster Sauce in a hot pan then use this as a sauce for your chicken when it’s done cooking. Serve with freshly steamed veggies or some sort of wild rice or any potatoes and you will eat like your Mother is still at home and take pride in the fact that YOU made it! Good Luck and Happy Cooking! A cooks note: smoothe move to realize that the taste of a freshly made home cooked meal can make you appreciate your Mother and real food!

Chocolate Coins for Your Man and the Kids

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

Thinking of giving something special for your man? Sometimes, cologne and socks are just too familiar. You need fresh and fun ideas to give to your man. What about chocolate poker chips? You always see him with the boys on Thursday nights playing a friendly round of poker so why not make it fun for them. Chocolate poker chips are made of high-quality chocolate with a wide array of choices. They are available in Belgian chocolate, dairy milk and even white chocolate with edible casings. Some are manufactured as perfect reproductions of poker chips with $10, $20, $50 and even $100 amounts. What’s great about them is that when you feel the need to munch on something, you have a bite-size chocolate poker chip to munch on.

For your more discerning poker friends, why not give them a little sack of gourmet chocolate coins. They can always be used as alternatives for chocolate poker chips. Flavors are more varied with choices of bitter almond and peppermint gourmet chocolate. When you have enough of them, you can bring a few of them home for your kids. They will have a great time using them as prize coins in their board games or play money. The best thing about them is the fact that they come in perfect sizes for individual snacking.
