Food and Wine
The perfect combination of food and wine can turn a simple dinner-date into a romantic one, a small gathering or celebration into a fun-filled and memorable party, virtually any ordinary occasion into an extraordinary event.
There are really no rules to follow in deciding what food to serve and what wine to buy. And, because there are no strict rules, pairing food and wine can indeed be a challenging and difficult task. It requires not only some familiarity with food and wine, but more importantly, some creative thinking.
It would be helpful to remember the basics: white wines are best served when chilled and are perfect with fish, pork or chicken, and red wines are best served with red meats such as grilled beef or lamb. These are not strict rules, however, so you can always reinvent and discover new exciting food and wine combination.
Experts suggest that the weight or taste of the food and wine should complement each other. It?s not good to match very dry and strong wine with sweet food, because the strength of the wine will overwhelm the taste of the food.
It is a known fact that white wines are too acidic, so they are perfectly matched with oily and salty food especially seafood dishes with rich cream sauces. Acid reduces oiliness and saltiness in food. Sweet wines have an acidity of around 1%, while table wines have 0.6 to 0.7 % acidity. Most wines are not sweet and have a strong flavor, so they are best matched with sweet food. Grilled foods that are bitter to the taste match well with a slightly bitter wine ? like a dry red. Wines made of grapes that are grown in colder regions typically have low sugar content and a high acidic content, while those grown in warmer climates are lower in acid and higher in sugar.
If you can?t decide what wine to buy, settle for a sparkling wine. This kind of wine has higher acidity and a delicate taste and is low in alcohol content. It goes go with almost any kind of food.

Stop Drinking Alcohol - Best option for your health July 29, 2008 – 9:54 pm by David Peters There are so many people out in the world who are addicted to alcohol, and don’t know that there is a way of stopping, and that it will surely be in your best interest to do so. How many people drink after work, until they go to bed, wake up with hangovers, go to work, and do the same thing all over again? Or, we have the weekend drinkers who refrain during the week, and get smashed on the weekends. Us
Learning how to stop drinking is important
Mon, 28 Jul 2008 12:07:25 PDT
by David Peters The addiction is always stronger than the desire to quit. But, it can be done. I did it. I have been sober for thirteen years. I got tired of blackouts and hangovers and acting like someone I’m not when I’m without alcohol. I knew I wanted to stop, but I had no clue how. I went to a twelve step meeting in my church, and kept going everynight to different meetings, for four and a half years. If you let the seriously sober men and women help you, you can beat this addiction. You d

Red Wine May Bring A Fountain of Youth
Mon, 28 Jul 2008 00:00:54 PDT
Rumors have long been circulating the water coolers stating that drinking red wine is actually good for a person’s health, but do these surprising allegations actually hold any truth? Well, according to a recent article, red wine may be the secret to discovering the fountain of youth; or at least to better healthy living. Researchers have discovered that a compound found in red wine may actually help to slow aging, provide heart benefits, stronger bones and may also prevent eye cataracts. The

Feeling like Carmen Sandiego… Posted by Bayou on July 25th, 2008 … as in, where in the world am I? My mind has been going in a million different directions lately but I’ve not been able to focus this energy very well. I thought I’d take a cue from my honey and just spit it all out at once so perhaps I can get back into the groove again… The Housewarming Party! Wow, it was just awesome. The draft post that kept running through my head was “Recipe for a perfect housewarming”. Take 30 of your
Yankees Suck?

Bart Simpson has the right idea here, or does he? (SawxBlog Illustration) I read Kevin Cullen's interesting piece yesterday on Boston.com (Enough Already) on what is for better or worst one of the more popular chants throughout New England, "Yankees Suck". We've all seen the "Yankees Suck" t-shirts sold outside of Fenway (I'm more partial to the "Jeter Drinks Wine Coolers" t-shirt because no matter who you root for as a fan, that's pretty damn funny). And if you live in or around Boston you'v
