Pork Chop Cooking Contest

admin — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 19:29:42 +0000

I’ve seen lots of things in my days, but what I just did exceeds all imagination: I joined a cooking contest. Over the next 30 days, contestants need to cook one pork chop recipe a day, take photos of the process and of the end result, then send them via email together with the recipes to the contest organizers. The best ones are going to be published in a cookbook. I thought that was cool, but now I realize what I’ve just entered myself into: how on Earth am I going to come up with 28 pork chops recipes?

So I started to put together sites I can inspire myself from. So far I’ve chosen two sites:

http://porkchop.mydailyrecipe.com/ – I really liked a couple of recipes from this website and I do hope the author is going to publish more of them (that’s why they call it My Daily Recipe, I guess)
http://porkchopsrecipes.net/ – I liked the pork chop casserole from this one, so I’ve chosen it to be cooked next Saturday, when I have guests for dinner.

The list is open, I’ll let you know what other recipes I’ve selected for this cooking challenge. Amusing, huh?

Beautiful Toddler Batarina Costume for Halloween 2009

admin — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 18:36:01 +0000

Do you have a little girl? Is she dancing all day around you house? If she dreams of being a ballerina when she grows up, then you could buy her this toddler batarina costume for Halloween. Chances are that she’ll love it, mostly because of the cute purple tutu, transparent bat wings and tiny glovelets. It’s an excellent choice in my view and I’ve shown it to some of my friends who also agreed that they could get their daughters such a costume. I believe it;s much better than all those ghosts and skeletons that look so creepy and disgusting.

How To Travel Cheap In The US

admin — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 10:53:03 +0000

Travel is one of the pleasures most of us enjoy and long for all year round. Too bad that we only have limited time and some of us even more limited budgets. This is why so many people try to find those best offers for planes and hotels, which can allow them to spend as much time on holidays as possible.

For example, if you want to visit the West Coast of the US, you can find all accommodations you need, in one single place on the web: CheaperThanHotels.com. This site offers first hand hotel reviews, plus a wide choice of excellent accommodation deals and last minute deals, as well as pre-booked discounts for more than 500 hotels in this region.

Only take a look at the cheap Seattle hotels and discover how you can stay at The Fairmont Olympic Hotel for a fairly discounted price. The website also gives you the possibility to see the occupancy level of the hotel, so you’ll know if there’s no room available for the period you want.

Another stop in your West Coast travel could be San Francisco. Finding cheap San Francisco hotels is going to follow the same path: you research on the above mentioned website and choose your hotels. Photos are included, so you can make an informed choice.

After visiting San Francisco and enjoying its multiple entertainment facilities, you may want to take a look at San Diego. Cheap San Diego hotels are relatively easy to find, as there’s a lot of competition in this segment. On this website, there’s a cool facility of applying multiple filters to your hotel search, so you can save time and find the best options that are suitable for your needs. San Diego is surely well-known for surfing, so you may want to try it at least once while you stay there.

Whatever your hotel choice may be, the deals you’ll be able to find online on this website may even be lower than the fares obtained directly from natives in the area. I suppose anybody wants to have comfort for little money, or at least the best value for their money. Working is hard, after all, so we deserve the best vacations ever.

Where To Find Great Holiday Business Cards

admin — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 08:55:28 +0000

Christmas is one of those times of year when everybody enjoys giving and receiving presents. Companies make no exception to this rule, so Business Holiday Cards have become a habit for many entrepreneurs and businesses, as a great way to tell their clients and suppliers how much they appreciate their co-operation. But everybody receives tons of holiday cards each year. In order to get differentiated and make your gesture memorable, you need to find some great cards models. This is not as hard as you may think. For example, the GalleryCollection.com website offers a wide assortment of cards for all occasions as well as for special events or holidays such as Easter or Christmas. All premium cards are printed on fine paper and they can be personalized according to your wish, in order to help you show appreciation to your customers. If you are the type of person who needs more time for making a decision, you can order online the catalog and several card samples, free of charge.
Moreover, GalleryCollection.com cares about charity, so they decided to make a donation of 4000 personalized holiday cards to Texas Children’s Pediatric Associates Project Medical Home®. These cards will bring a smile on the faces of many children with disabilities. I believe that we all need to think of people in distress and try to ease their pain at least by making them smile, by giving them a little bit of our wealth, no matter how big or small this may be. Christmas cards can offer those children a beautiful moment in their lives.

Happy Thanksgiving To All My Readers

admin — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 08:41:04 +0000

I’m taking this opportunity to wish all of a Happy Thanksgiving and to thank you very much for reading my blog. I appreciate each of your comments, I love to see people subscribing to my feed and coming back to read more. I’ll try to live up to your expectations, as I’ve always done.

As we have a mini holiday these days, this blog is going to take a break. I’m going in the mountains to enjoy the first snow, and I very much doubt they have internet connections in those places. We are going to a mountain lodge, where we can ski, skate or simply watch the snow falling, while sipping some nice boiled wine with cinnamon.

I’ll be back soon! Meanwhile, watch those news widgets and relax!

My Christmas Shopping List

admin — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 11:37:28 +0000

As you have probably noticed, I’m a thorough person. I like to do things properly. Therefore, Christmas shopping is taking a big part of my time these days. I want to be prepared, I want the best deals, therefore I am doing a lot of research for artificial trees, wreaths, garlands, lights and other Christmas decorations and ornaments. I may be detailed, but I am not selfish. This is why I decided to share with you my list of online stores, so you’ll spend less time when you’ll need a tree or a special gift for someone you love.

Artificial Christmas Tree Shops

Black Christmas Tree shop: a variety of full size or slim trees, pre lit or unlit, available in many heights

Pre Lit Christmas Trees shop: buying a prelit tree will save you from the trouble of lighting systems that don’t work as they are expected

12 Foot Christmas Tree shop: exclusive selection of trees in all shapes and colors, all 12 foot high

Other Christmas Decorations

Christmas decor shop: wreaths, lights and garlands

All Christmas Ornaments shop: from trees to lights, many beautiful things to buy for Christmas

The list says open, I’ll add more resources as I find them.

Do You Want a Binocular?

admin — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 08:26:56 +0000

Binoculars are very useful, especially on vacations. Bird watching is very interesting, but birds won’t allow you to watch from very near, so you have to keep a big distance. This is why good binoculars are a must, if you don’t want to miss all this fun. Binoculars are also a suitable gift for a friend, and with the winter holidays approaching, you may want to know that you can find some good promotions out there. For example, this Nikon ATB Promotion which has just started and which will go on until December 31st, gives you a $50 gift card when buying a pair of Monarch ATB binoculars. In case your budget is not that big, you can buy either a Trailblazer ATB, an Action Extreme ATB, or a ProStaff binocular and get a $25 gift card. Gift cards can be redeemed in the Nikon Pro Gear online stores, for cool gifts such as casual garments for men and women, binoculars and optical accessories or more outdoor gear which can help you enjoy the time spent in the middle of the nature.

Holiday promotions are always nice, don’t you think so?

Halloween Party Ideas

admin — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 16:26:09 +0000

You know, Halloween is almost knocking at our door already, together with the falling leaves and the cold weather. How many of you are prepared? Have you thought of the funniest Halloween activities for you and your family or friends? Have you got a new costume, or you are going to repeat last year’s surprise and wear the same one two years in a row? I can tell you that I’ve already decided what I’m going to do this Halloween. In the fist place, I’m going to decorate all my windows and the stairway with little hollow pumpkins with candles inside, and I’ll keep the lights very low, so a spooky atmosphere is created. Regarding the costumes, now you’ll think we want to dress up like some ghosts or skeletons. Not at all. My wife and I decided to go for a couple costume: I’ll be the ham and she’ll be the egg, so together we are going to be ham and egg. The children are still thinking, so we have to wait for a while until they make up their mind, so we can buy them their costumes, too. As for other ideas, if you are interested, you can find a lot more on internet, on websites like Celebrations.com, where you can also find a community to discuss your ideas with.
