There are days where I just want to order a quick take away on my lunch break and sit at my desk and enjoy it. When I found out that the Mexican restaurant down the street began delivering, I knew that I was going to enjoy having lunch at my desk a lot more often. It is not that I am anti-social or anything, but I rarely get any time for just myself so when it does happen, I like to take advantage of it. I also like that I can get some more work done if I have fallen behind because that means I am able to leave on time then. I am going to do that today, and I have been looking over the menu I have to decide what I want to order. There are so many choices and I actually want a good bit of it! Ah, decisions, decisions.

Smith's TRI-6 Arkansas TRI-HONE Sharpening Stones System. by Smith ...Typically Western style knives have a blade angle of 40-50 degrees. Typically are sharpened only on one side of the blade in a technique known as Kataba. Because of this, Japanese Knives are sharpened to much sharper angle and make for the sharpest knives in the world. Modern Santoku knives incorporate the double ground blade typical of western knives with the 6-15 degree blade angle of Japanese knives. This marriage of Western and Japanese design produces a very sharp yet easily mastered knife ideal for beginners that will still perform beautilfully and do so with more versatility than any other style of knife .

These Japanese knives are harder and sharper and stronger than Western knives, yet care must be taken not to chip the very thin and brittle blades. You must exercise caution and care in their storage and maintenance. If you do this, your Japanese kitchen knives will last you for years!

French Cooking for Dummies' Profile - FoodbuzzOne of my favourite memories from my younger days are the delicious feasts I have had at my grandparents home. My grandmother was an amazing cook and we have been treated to a variety of cuisine from around the world.

One of my favourites though was Grandma’s Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe. It had three of my most favourite foods – Chicken, Cheese and Ham. I still remember those tender morsels of chicken breasts stuffed with delicious swiss cheese and ham melting in my mouth. In fact I was so fond of this recipe that I used to have this dish for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Feast days were incomplete without a giant serving of Chicken Cordon Bleu. Although Grandma is no longer around, my mom has managed to keep the family traditional alive and has learnt this recipe. This dish has become synonymous with our family celebrations and till today everytime we have a big celebration, Chicken Cordon Bleu remains our family favourite.

There are four major manufacturers of enameled cast iron grill pans; Les Creuset, Lodge, Staub and All-Clad. All four companies follow a similar manufacturing process where a piece of cast iron is coated with pigmented glass which is then annealed in a large furnace to produce a uniform, brightly colored surface.

Les Creuset is the most famous producer of enameled cast iron cookware. They are a French company and their products evoke the image of provincial French country side cooking. Their products are considered to be high quality and they command a high price accordingly.

Staub is a German manufacturer that is not well known in the United States. The Staub products typically have been processed to have a black cooking surface with a bright exterior. The interior is designed to be black to hide the unattractive patina that slowly builds and makes these grill pans non-stick.

Lodge is an American company that traditionally focused on making some of the finest seasoned cast iron available. The recently got into the enameled cast iron business to try to capture some of the higher end market share from Les Creuset.

The last manufacturer, All Clad, is relatively new to the cast iron market. All Clad was originally formed to produce aluminum pans which were clad in various other metals and no-stick coatings. Recently some celebrity chefs have introduced their own signature lines of grill pans and other cookware and have gotten All Clad to make their products for them.

Wine has been around for many generations and certainly will be able to last the test of time. Even from biblical times, wine was mentioned to represent the blood of God and has been in existence since. Having a glass of wine after a long day at work is certainly a good relief to the heart and the tired mind. Using the best wine opener to uncork a good bottle and treat your friends, colleagues or family members to a drink each is also a good way to start a social conversation.

Alcohol has an effect of disinhibiting people and making them less socially restricted. This makes wine the perfect drink to consume prior to an attempt at breaking the ice or starting a conversation with a stranger. The rather sophisticated status of wine among other alcoholic drinks also places you a class above everyone else who is busy with their mug of beer or shot of whisky. In short, wine has many roles in society, and is certainly a good drink to take in moderation.
