BBQ Chicken and Corn on the Cob
Of course there’s nothing better than grilled corn on the cob but what meat does it go best with?

There are two distinct camps on strawberry shortcake. The original strawberry shortcakes were made with a biscuit dough. The berries were sweetened and spread between layers of biscuit, then topped with plain or sweetened whipped cream.

Another way to make the shortcake is to use a sponge cake as a base for the shortcake. The berries are sweetened and served in the same way as the biscuit version. I prefer the sponge cake version, or sometimes I make it with pound cake.

When choosing berries for this recipe, look for ripe berries without soft spots or blemishes. Store them in a cool dry place, without washing. When ready to prepare them, wash them gently by dipping them into a large bowl of water briefly. Remove the berries from the water, leaving the dirt and sand at the bottom. Do not hold under running water, the force of the water can bruise the berries.

To another friend, a salad and a soup was a lunch of supreme importance. Somehow, salads were a part of our meals and also our lives. From the simple varations of salad greens tossed with a classic vinaigrette to the more complex salad ingredients served with various blended or whisked salad dressings, salads are a compliment to any meal.

A salad meal begins with a meatless vegetable soup that is filled with chunks of vegetables and topped with some shredded parmesan cheese.

One so easily associates cooking ribs with the pleasurable and usually gluttonous pastime of eating!

The Ribfest organised by the Rotary club of Guelph-Trillum, at Hillside, Guelph lake in Canada, boasts the attendance of around 50 000 rib hungry fans.

Also, RibFest and the Hillside music festival have become popular summer events. Interestingly, a green roof above the main stage signals Hillside’s ecological message to the world, which is a paradox to the usual greasy connotation.

When is the sum of four equal to one and its quotient is approximately sixty? On the other hand, the product of one can be a multiple of “X” which brings us to the common denominator, and that is great tasting gourmet coffee.

This equation can be further illustrated by using a real life example. Imagine this scenario–you visit your favorite coffee bar and purchase your favorite beverage from them. With your cup of java in hand, you head back home and settle comfortably in your ergonomic chair, ready to navigate the information superhighway.
