McDonalds Breakfast

Sunday, February 19th, 2012

When my family wants breakfast out in the morning, our first choice is always the same. We enjoy eating a McDonalds Breakfast for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, their food choices are excellent. Everyone can choose what they like and at affordable prices. Hubby gets the pancakes and all the fixings with it: sausage, potatoes, biscuit and so on. I order biscuits and gravy and scrambled eggs. And the kids order a fruit and yogurt parfait with breakfast burritos. Plus drinks are also varied and affordable – juices, milk, coffee, tea, and specialty coffees nowadays. Yes, McDonald’s Breakfast, here we come!

Great Frozen Yogurt Franchise Opportunities

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

While we were visiting with my sister, we went to a mall that offered frozen yogurt. I loved the whole concept. My husband and I’d been looking for a business to get involved with. We looked into frozen yogurt franchise opportunities. I was worried that their might be someone else with the same idea in my area, but there wasn’t any other shops offering this. We jumped on this opportunity, and haven’t regretted it. It’s been profitable, and a while lot of fun.

What You Can Make With Your Panini Maker

Sunday, February 12th, 2012

You can make anything with a panini maker that you can stick in a sandwich, and honestly, you can do a bit more than that as well. A panini maker is just a press that grills whatever you put into it from both sides. You can get creative with what you use for ends on your sandwiches for some fun—for instance, you could stuck two waffles with fruits and a chocolate spread and stick it into the press, or a good burrito. Tofu can be great when pressed into a panini maker, and it can always be fun to grill some of your vegetables like red pepper strips or zucchini or tomato slices on the press before putting them into your sandwich. The possibilities for what you can do with this appliance are really up to you and your imagination.

Losing weight is not easy. Most important is not to give up. Here are some tips to follow.

Boosting metabolic rate will help you to burn calories at a faster rate. Having a cup of green tea every morning helps in raising the metabolic rate. Green tea can also act as a natural appetite suppressant. You do not feel feel hungry so fast. This means less snacks eaten in between meals. Besides it is rich in beneficial antioxidants for boosting immune system.

The famous Japanese matcha green tea is green tea in powder form. It is very rich in antioxidants and health-giving sulfur compounds that also helps prevent cancer cells from forming.

Chinese Restaurants

Chinese restaurants in Hawaii, Chinese restaurants in Honolulu, Chinese restaurants

I stumbled across this blog site about Chinese restaurant in Hawaii, and in particular about Chinese restaurants in Honolulu.  The article was discussing about the time line of some of the early, but never forgotten Chinese restaurants, I knew and often frequented growing up in Honolulu.  They include establishments such as McCully Chop Suey, King’s Garden in Kaimuki and New Star Chop Suey.

It contained some interesting factoids like McCully Chop Suey being the first Chinese restaurant to offer air-conditioning.  It also noted that Golden Duck and Diamond Chop Suey, served University of Hawaii students, like me, with late night snacks after study hours in the new Sinclair Library.  It also mentioned that Yong Sing ventured into the downtown financial district in 1966 to offer business lunches.   My good friend used to work there during college and I got to know the owner as well as many of the people who worked there. 

It also noted the opening of Patti’s Chinese Kitchen in the Ala Moana Center in 1967.  This place pioneered Chinese fast food way before Panda Express.  It also recalled the first northern Chinese restaurant in Honolulu, Winter Garden, opened at Kahala Mall in 1969. Previous to that, most Chinese food reflected Cantonese style of cooking because that is where most of the original Chinese immigrants to Hawaii came from. The western China style from Szechwan was introduced to Hawaii diners at the Maple Garden in 1975.  Also in 1975, the Royal Kitchen, with their baked dim sum offerings, became of the one of the first tenants in the area near the Chinese Cultural Plaza.  

Such a Nice Statement

Monday, February 6th, 2012

I am so glad that I have finally gotten all of these gift baskets put together. They really do look so nice. I am so glad that I talked my boss into getting the Custom Bottled Water. They were a little bit more money than the regular bottles of water, but I think that they just make such a nice statement. I am so looking forward to having some time off and being to relax after this conference this weekend.

I absolutely agree; however, neither Food food and cooking recipes Wine, Bon Appetit, Fine Cooking, Saveur or (God forbid) Cook’s Illustrated could ever hope to approach the vibe of Gourmet in it’s heyday. These magazines are mostly a gaggle of somewhat disgusting recipes, and do not provide and illustrate an elegantly conceived menu. Frequently the magazines themselves are boring and populated by people who clearly don’t cook. Oh well. Unlike you, I did not save my magazines, although I did buy and keep the annual books published of the ‘best of’ the menus from an entire year. The travel articles then WERE great and made me want to visit; by contrast, they were not just thinly veiled ads for restaurants and hotels. Vicarious thrills indeed.

sustainable packaging for lunches

lunch catering tacoma gig harbor

i think it is very interesting how the trend towards sustainability and the “green washing” of our culture is so often overlooked by people in the foodservice industry. i’ve had a hard time finding a box lunch tacoma provider that uses sustainable packaging for their lunches.  i think it would be great to use compostable or minimal packaging instead of nasty Styrofoam, though i guess there is a time and a place for everything.  you don’t want your soup dribbling or what have you.  i think that those foil wrappers they use for hamburgers and stuff might be a nice change from the typical box in a box kind of thing.  you could still wrap the sandwich and have it fit in a nice compostable box.  they have cool bamboo disposable and compostable utensils now too. boxed lunch gig harbor isn’t much better.  i would hope that over the next few years more options open up for sustainable products.  right now there are quite a few companies making them but frequently they exceed the price point acceptable for most companies.  it’s hard to sell a good lunch with nice packaging for a reasonable price, while making it profitable for the business catering gig harbor and practical for the company to use for their every day needs.  it is always a struggle to find that balance and maybe the foil wrappers could help caterers get to that point?  it would be nice if someday every food company whether it is catering or fast food would take sustainability into consideration.
