How many of you are gong to be grilling and going on picnics during the 4th of July weekend? It is a common family event and holiday which will include food and drinks. All this food increases incidents of food poisoning. Don't get it! Here the tips and the photo is a cool visual.

George Washington says…CLEANJohn Adams says…SEPARATEThomas Jefferson says…COOKBenjamin Franklin says…CHILL
As the 4th of July approaches, cases of foodborne illnesses are surging in the summer season. Key stats:
  • Incidents of food poisoning surge over the summer months because bacteria multiply faster when it’s warm
  • Americans spend $400 million on beef alone for July 4th barbeques
  • USDA research shows that 1 out of every 4 hamburgers turns brown before it has reached a safe internal temperature!
  • New FDA research done in collaboration with USDA shows that only 23% of Americans who own a food thermometer actually use it when grilling hamburgers
  • 48 million Americans (at least 1 in 6) will get sick from foodborne illness this year, resulting in roughly 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths
How can families avoid these serious public health threats during the July 4th holiday and summer months when they are at most risk? Just listen to the Founding Fathers.

New Dallas & J.R. on TNT burnt my bacon

To contact us Click HERE
I grew up as a kid in the 80s watching Dallas. Over the past year I rewatched the entire series and could not believe that I, as a kid, watched the show. A few months ago I heard the New Dallas buzz and was counting down the week, then days to hours and minutes to catch the new series.

What do I think of the new series? I hate to admit it but I LOVE it! Just last week I was wondering about Pam and then she was mentioned in the show.  What do you think is up with that? She just disappeared? I'm not happy with that explanation and I sure hope we learn more.

Anyhow I was so engrossed in the show that I burnt my bacon. Darn you new Dallas and J.R. for making me do this! I never burn food and of course I never want my bacon burnt.

Do you watch the show? I'd love to hear your take on it! Leave your comments below. Have you blogged about the show? Leave your link and I'll stop over! Don't forget to watch the show.

Top Left: Mashed Garlic Cauliflower , Top Right: Brussels Sprouts and Bacon!




These are two delicious sides that are pretty easy to whip up. Hope you enjoy them as much as Dano and I did. 




Mashed Garlic Cauliflower

This is actually a cauliflower puree recipe but I like to call it mashed cauliflower because it is a great substitute for mashed potatoes.

Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower
- 4-5 cloves of garlic (peeled and sliced)
- salt
- 1-2 tablespoons butter
- a pinch of nutmeg

1. Chop cauliflower and garlic. Toss with some salt. Steam cauliflower and garlic for 10 minutes- I steamed mine in a pot with a steamer insert.
2. Transfer cauliflower and garlic to a food processor. Add butter and a pinch of nutmeg. Process for 30 seconds until pureed.
3. Serve warm!

Brussels Sprouts roasted with Bacon

Ingredients
- 15- 20 brussels sprouts (bottom stems and outside skins removed, halved)
- 3-4 slices of good bacon
- olive oil or avocado oil
-salt and pepper

1. Prepare brussels sprouts. Toss them in olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2. Dice bacon. Toss with brussels sprouts.
3. Prepare a baking dish with foil. Spread brussels sprouts and diced bacon evenly in the dish.
4. Bake for 30 mins at 375 F.
5. Make sure to toss the brussels sprouts 2 or 3 times during the baking time. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
6. Serve with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

Ishq Ne hame Benam kar DiyaHar Khushi se Anjan Kar diya
Hamne Khbhi Nahi chaha Ki Hame Ishq HoPar unki Ek Nazr ne Hume Nilam Kar Diya




Main uske chehre ko dil se utar deti hoon,Main kabhi kabhi to khud ko bhi mar deti hoon,Ye mera haq hai ke main usko thora dukh b doon,Main chahat bhi to use beshumar deti hoon.Khafaa woh reh nahin sakta lamha bhar bhi,Mein bohat pehle hi us ko pukaar leti hoon.Mujhe siwa uske koi bhi kaam nahin soojhta,Woh jo bhi karta hai, mein sab hisaab leti hoon.Woh sabhi naaz uthaata hai mein jo bhi kehti hoon,Woh jo bhi kehta hai, Mein chupke se maan leti hoon.

Happy St. Patrick's Day....of course!

To contact us Click HERE
As usual, I'm a little late....of course! I hope everyone had a wonderful, safe St. Patrick's Day.

Being that the holiday was on a Thursday, Matt and I did the responsible thing. We stayed in instead of fighting the drunken crowds at every drinking establishment around town.

However, I am not one to pass up any reason to celebrate! Thursday night for dinner Matt and I followed tradition....of course!

We dined on corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes.


Whose tradition? Not mine, I'm not Irish, but Matt is! Whether or not this was his tradition before is highly debatable, however it will now become just that.  
As would only seem correct with most of our celebrations, this dinner is not exactly authentic IrishIt is very much an Irish American tradition. The celebration of St. Patrick was first noted as an official holiday in the 17th century. At that time in Ireland beef was considered a delicacy. Pork and bacon were much more commonly seen around the dinner table. A broiled piece of bacon was traditionally used in Irish meals. During the Great Famine of the 18th century many Irish immigrated to America. It was here in the states, where it was more affordable and accessible, that beef was substituted during dinner.

So, Cheers! To the Irish, St. Patrick, Irish Americans, and well drinkers around the world....of course!

Fun Fact: President Abraham Lincoln's Inaugural Dinner Menu consisted of Corned Beef and Cabbage with Parsley Potatoes!


UPDATE!!
Corned Beef Hash
With this quick breakfast idea in mind, I saved a small portion of the corned beef and potatoes from Thursday's dinner for Sunday's breakfast. I've never been a fan of corned beef hash. I personally can't stand the taste or texture. Everything about it says NO! to me. However, with my leftovers and "I can make anything taste good" attitude I decided to try my hand at this classic breakfast dish.


Of course....it was delcious!

The corned beef and potatoes were so crispy, the egg just perfectly cooked. When you cut into the egg the yolk oozed into the hash!

Matty and I both were very pleased with the outcome! 

Topped Filet Tuesday

To contact us Click HERE
Rachel Ray's Tenderloins were delicious!

You can find her recipe here...Tenderloin Steaks with Gorgonzola and Herbs and Roasted Garlic and Grape Tomato Pasta with Basil and Arugula




If you are trying this recipe at home I would suggest a few small changes. I caramelized the filets in the pan for 2 minutes, at least, on each side instead of Rachel Ray's suggested 90 seconds. I also left the oven on warm after putting the steaks in the oven instead of turning if off all together. This produced a nice Rare-Medium Rare steak. When making the pasta she also tells you to cook the noodles al dente or slightly firm because they will cook longer once you mix everything together. I did not find this to be true, they did not continue to cook later. I will leave the noodles cooking in the boiling water a little longer until they are to my desired firmness.


This dinner didn't even take that long to make. If you are a beginner then I would suggest doing some prep work before you start. I'm a kind of do it all at once, multi-tasker in the kitchen. I like having 10 different things going on around me at the same time. Pot on every eye, pan in the oven, sauces and such on the countertop. It makes me feel like I'm a chef in a big city restaurant on a busy Friday night.....just a dream.

I did really enjoy making this meal....and eating it!

I'm baaack..Asparagus Fritters

To contact us Click HERE
After a super long hiatus I’m back. Caught up in the whirlwind of life I somehow allowed blogging to fall off the To Do List. What thisnow means is that I have a surplus of recipes, pictures and even a foodfestival to throw in. So enjoy!I found this recipe while browsing through another blog,Closet Cooking. I always enjoy trying new things, new concepts, even putting anew twist on an old favorite. I thought this was a great recipe to try becauseI love asparagus and who doesn’t care for a little bit of fried goodness?Here is Kevin from Closet Cooking's Recipe……..Asparagus and Feta FrittersIngredients
  • 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 handful dill, chopped
  • 1 handful parsley, chopped
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta, crumbled
  • 1 egg
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup flour (I like to use whole wheat)
  • 2 tablespoons oil
Directions1. Grate or process the asparagus in a food processor. (I actually just chopped-Ruby)2. Mix the asparagus, herbs, green onions, feta, flour, egg, salt and pepper and enough flour that the mixture will hold together.
 

3. Heat the oil in a pan.
 
4. Spoon the asparagus mixture into the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. 


Avgolemono SauceIngredients·        1 egg (lightly beaten)·        1/2 lemon (juice)·        1 tablespoon dill chopped·        1 tablespoon capersDirections1. Whisk the egg in bowl until frothy.
2. Slowly whisk in the lemon juice followed by the water.
3. Heat in a small sauce pan while whisking until the sauce thickens, mix in thedill and capers and remove from heat. (Do not bring it to a boil.)
I tried the fritters two different ways. Of course as I wasmaking the first batch I tried a few as a snack. They are delicious on theirown. I imagine they would make a great accompaniment to a salad or also servedas an edible garnish aside a meat dish. For dinner I served the fritters toppedwith a poached egg and avgolemono sauce just as Closet Cooking suggests. The egg and light zestiness of the sauce definitely complimented the frittersin their search to become a full meal. I served them alongside roasted potatoes and green beans with parmesan olive oil sauce from SteamFresh. Overall, a very delicious meatless dish.

Smiley Face Symbols

If you want to learn the new language of smiley face symbols or emoticons, you have landed on the right page. Here I provide an emoticon dictionary of sorts with smiley face symbols and meanings.

smiley face symbols bestofshayari.blogspot.in

smiley face symbols

 

The Internet and cell phone texting technology has bred a new symbolic language. It is called the 'Emoticon' language, whereby emotions are conveyed through symbols created entirely through alphabets and other keyboard symbols. Smiley face symbols are real fun to use in text messages and online chat. They convey what you want to say with brevity and save you from the tedium of using too many words. This Buzzle article is a compilation of smiley faces for texting, chatting and social networking site status messages or posts.
Emoticons were popularized by instant messaging clients like Yahoo Messenger. It is a feature of a more 'human' Internet where real people communicate and express themselves. It remedies the rather impersonal nature of a text chat, where there is no way of knowing what the person at the other end is feeling. Neither online chatting, nor text messaging can be a substitute for real face-to-face conversation. However, it is convenient and enables you to stay connected anywhere, anytime. The smiley face symbols for Facebook and other social networking sites are not much different from text message symbols, but a bit more creative. Go through the smiley face symbols and meanings chart below and acquaint yourself with emoticon lingo.

Smiley Face Symbols List


Making smiley face symbols on keyboard is quite simple, as it uses all your regular punctuation symbols, along with alphabets. Most instant messengers, chat sites have their own emoticon code. Once you type in a text based emoticon, it gets replaced by a graphical image that is substituted in its place. Some just let you select emoticons out of a list of animated images. Here are some of the most popular smiley face symbols for MySpace, Facebook and general text messaging.

Smiley Face Symbols     Meaning

:)     Smiling, Happy Face, Cheshire Cat Smile (Indicates that you are not to be taken seriously. This is the most commonly used emoticon ever.)

X-(     Death/Suicide


These were some of the most basic emoticon meanings. There are many more which you could make, using your own imagination. It is a symbolic kind of language that is still in a nascent stage. You will get used to all these smiley face symbols once you get hooked to chatting online with friends. Learning the jargon is not a very difficult task. It is a part of the global language of communication that Internet has bred. I am sure that you found these smiley face symbols to be interesting. Use any of these emoticons to spice up your text chat or online conversation! If you only unleash your imagination, you can come up with brilliant emoticons of your own, which will eventually be assimilated into the constantly evolving emoticon vocabulary.

Ways to Say Sorry to Your Boyfriend

bestofshayari Ways to say sorry to your Boyfriend

Ways to say sorry to your Boyfriend

A simple 'sorry' can help to improve even the worst of situations. Here are many ways of saying sorry to your boyfriend.
Love means never having to say you are sorry! However, there are times when the appropriate word may make all the difference. Words can either shape things in the right manner for you or break things for you. Any kind of a relationship has its highs and lows. For a blossoming relationship, you would need more than just love...a little bit of patience and understanding would help you in the long run!

So, did you have your first big fight and come storming back home with tears in your eyes? Did it feel it was the end and your boyfriend was at fault...at least till yesterday? Are you regretting the feeling of having caused a scene and blamed your boyfriend for many unnecessary things?

Patching up and having to say you're sorry is not really as difficult as it sounds. If you are truly in love and regret your act, there are many ways to say sorry to your boyfriend. An apology is an indication that you are shameful about your act and if he truly loves you, he is bound to let go all the issues and embrace you with immense happiness! Do you want to get back to your love? Well, here are some various ways to apologize and win the heart back of your lover!

Different Ways of Apologizing to your Boyfriend

Bear Hug

A bear hug should be on the agenda for sure. A hug goes to show you care and offers genuine warmth and comfort in any relationship. Always communicate with your boyfriend clearly so that he is aware of what you feel. A warm bear hug would only help to soften any feelings of anger towards you.

A Gift

A gift would be a better way of going about this issue if you want to make him realize that you completely regret behaving like a jerk. It will also go to show you care! Romantic gifts or even personalized gifts would surely help to ease a tense situation. Put on your thinking cap to come up with some cool gift ideas!

A Beautiful Card

Look for a beautiful card or make one yourself with meaningful wordings and meet him personally. Apologize directly followed with a warm hug and present the card to him. Even if he still shows signs of aggression, be patient and loving. Once he knows what you genuinely feel, you are bound to melt his heart!

A Good Time

Select a good time to apologize. Do not pick a time when he is busy with work or is loaded with personal problems. Make sure you select a time when he is alone and less worried about other issues in life. Then, all you need to do is sincerely apologize.

Space

Give him ample space. Let him yell at you but avoid going on the defensive. Any kind of argument would only worsen the situation. As he yells or shouts, try to agree with whatever he is saying and slip an apology in between. The moment he realizes you are sorry, his anger will surely melt away. Besides, you might even get a surprise when he apologizes to you for certain things he may have said!

Even if you feel these ways of saying sorry to your boyfriend have had no effect, then all you need is a little patience from your side. You cannot be pushy about these relationship issues.

Time is the best factor in this case and you need to only keep conveying the message that you care. With time, he would surely come back to you the moment he realizes how genuinely you feel about the same issue. With love and respect from your side, you are bound to make him realize the importance of the wonderful relationship you share.
