Car Rentals in Grand Cayman Are Essential

By Andys Rent-A-Car

A vacation in Grand Cayman will feel like time spent in paradise. That’s why countless people from all over the world head there when they have time off. Many retire there permanently to experience Heaven every single day for the rest of their days.

 

The last thing you want to do when you’re on vacation—whether it’s in Grand Cayman or elsewhere—is think about the things you have to be doing. But if you don’t look into Grand Cayman car rentals, that’s exactly what you’re going to have to do. It’s as simple as that. Grand Cayman isn’t known for being especially large, that’s one of its many draws. But the many locations you probably want to see are still spread out to a large degree.

 

If you don’t have your own rental car, you’re going to face certain problems. Basically, you’ll have to either wait on and pay for a cab, constantly, or do the same for the island’s public transportation system.

 

Either way, your vacation will suffer. So, instead, rent a car ahead of time and you’ll know you get to see every part of the island you had in mind.

Five Spice Throughout History

This article was written by Phin Upham

Five spice is a combination of five Asian ingredients typically used in the kitchens of Middle Eastern and Asian cooks. Five spice is best when it is used with fatty meats, like pork or goose. It’s also a good rub for chicken, and can be added to fried foods for a bit of extra flavor in the dish. It’s most popular in the restaurant setting, but does find a place in gourmet cooking at home. Many families make their own variations on five spice, typically producing something akin to seasoned salt.

Five spice is mixed according to its tradition, or background.

Chinese Tradition

Chinese five spice is a golden powder that is fragrant. It has star anise, fennel, cloves, cassia, and Sichuan pepper in it. The diner should notice the flavor of star anise the most, but five spice is used sparingly in Chinese cuisine. In traditional Chinese cooking, herbs do not stand out from one another. They blend together to form a unique taste. Five spice, therefore, compliments many dishes well.

Indian Tradition

Indian five spice is used commonly by their chefs, and has a more pronounced hotness and flavor to it than the Chinese variety. In Indian cuisine, savory is the name of the game. Indian five spice tends to have cumin, balck mustard, fennel, fenugreek and nigella all in equal proportions. The spice is also used whole, and typically not ground into a powder before serving.

Hostess Cupcakes: Edible icons

Written by Samuel Phineas Upham

1919 was an exciting time for America. The Roaring Twenties were set to kick off, ushering in an era of prohibition and big band music. It was also the same year that a company called Hostess released a snack cake called “The Cupcake.”

For the early 1920s, Cupcakes were sold individually and hand frosted with either a chocolate or vanilla frosting. Some Cupcakes were available with malted milk icing, and orange Cupcakes debuted around this time as well. Hostess had higher aspirations for the cake and hired D.R. “Doc” Rice to redesign the product. He’d been hired at the company to cake dump, which meant that he took trays of cakes and dumped them onto a table to be frosted.

He first improved the dough using the ample ingredients available to him, then he took the filling concept of the Twinkie and applied it to the Cupcake. The loops on the Cupcake, which are like its signature flair, should amount to exactly seven according to Rice. That way, the customer would get a sense of both branding and quality of the product. He also used real chocolate in his frosting as well.

The Cupcakes were an immediate success. Wholesale price jumped by two cents and retail price followed suit. Doc Rice retired from Hostess in 1972, but he continued working well into his life as a consultant for other bakeries. Hostess, despite financial difficulties, has managed to stay in business with newly designed versions of hit products like the Twinkie, Cupcake and Zinger.

Foie Gras

This article was written by Samuel Phineas Upham

Foie Gras is perhaps one of the most controversial delicacies in existence. It has been enjoyed since ancient Rome, and it was shared with the Greeks too. There are references to the paste in Homer’s Odyssey. Specifically, a dream sequence involving Penelope depicts her dream to have twenty geese fattening in her farmyard. The Greek word for liver even translates to “stuffed with figs,” an apparent reference to their affinity for foie gras.

Fattening was always meant to produce larger domestic animals with more meat and a stronger flavor. The Greeks perfected this practice on geese, where intensive and sometimes force feeding was carried out.

Some accounts place the origin of foie gras with the Egyptians. They were known to be the first civilization that noticed geese would gorge themselves before migration. As geese became domesticated animals, the practice grew naturally as a side effect of keeping them.

Foie gras was served differently depending on who prepared it. It was often served at the end of the meal as a digestive aid, believed to be superfluous by some. It was usually served with a lightly toasted piece of bread. Some cultures served foie gras as the main course and provided sides like green leeks or scallops to help complete the meal.

The French did not like the taste of goose liver. They would often use chicken as a substitute. Their version is highly regarded as the definitive foie gras, a dish the British inherited as time went on.

Flower Waters

This article was written by Samuel Phineas Upham

Cooks in the Middle East were trying out something interesting during the 3^rd and 4^th centuries, AD. The Ancient Greeks and Romans had both perfected the art of distilling fragrance from rose petals by steeping them in water, but they were not using the extract for flavoring.

The practice of using extracts in this fashion was already well-known. Cooks had been using vanilla to flavor their foods for some time. Rose water seemed like an extension of that. The water was sprinkled over food to add fragrance and taste, but it was also used in pots and pans to coat the cooking surface.

During the Crusades, Christian crusaders found it and brought it back to Medieval England. The Turks were using the flavoring extensively, and they introduced it to Bulgaria. Bulgaria’s famed Valley of Roses at Kazanluk is still famous for its mass production of rose water, rose oil and preserves.

From the Arabs and Europeans, rose water travelled across the pond until it found a home in American cuisine. The Americans, at first, had limited applications for the substance. It was primarily found in a candy called “Turkish Delight.” Colonial Americans used rose water to flavor their dishes, like chicken pies and creamed spinach.

The Shakers also produced rose water as a product to be sold as “Double Distilled Damask Rose Water,” and it was used extensively in their apple pie with rose. Today, rose water and orange blossom water are still in use, especially in desserts like baklava. However, rose water is used interchangeably with orange blossoms.

Gelato and Italy

Written by Gelato Products

Italy is the birthplace of gelato. It’s not really ice cream since the method of creating it is actually quite different than regular ice cream. It takes more than just Frozen yogurt suppliers and Ice cream shop suppliesto make good gelato. As a matter of fact, you are going to need skills and techniques that will separate your gelato from the rest, and that’s exactly what Italy does with their gelato. So is gelato in Italy really better than in other places? The answer is yes. There’s something about the way they make gelato over there that makes it, well, simply better. However, it doesn’t mean that gelato in other places are bad – because they actually aren’t. Italy, as you may have known by now, is the birthplace of gelato, and it’s something that they are really proud of as well. As a matter of fact, did you know that Italy has a law requiring that all gelato must have 3.5% butterfat? That’s how serious these guys take their gelato, and they make it a point that it should always be tasty as well. What gives gelato its unique flavor is the fact that they use natural ingredients such as fruits. They put it together with sugars, cream, milk, and a host of other ingredients as well in order to achieve specific flavors. You may not notice it at first, but flavors of gelato are more intense than regular ice cream. And that’s probably the reason why people keep coming back for more too.

If you own an ice cream parlor, it’s a good idea to have customized ice cream spoons. This way your customers will be able to identify your brand.

Top Turnoffs in Women on a Date

Written by New York Socials

Dating can be challenging, which is why it’s important to brush up on the dos and don’ts of dating. Whether it is your first, third, or tenth date, there are things you can do to either turn on or off your date. This post focuses on the don’ts. Here are the top three turnoffs in women on a date.

Sloppy Attire

One of the biggest turnoffs in women on a date is sloppy attire, or a careless look. While it might seem surprising, women are not the only ones who care about proper attire. Men do, too. The way you dress on a date reveals a lot about your character. It shows that you care about the evening, the person, and about yourself. Dress appropriately to every date. Don’t wear a t-shirt and jeans, even if you’re going to a casual restaurant. If you need guidance on what to wear on a date, contact New York Socials, one of the leading matchmaking and image consulting services in NYC.

Poor Manners

When it comes to manners, men are usually the ones being scrutinized. However, another big turn off in women on a date is poor manners. Some examples of bad manners on a date include talking with your mouth full, fixing your makeup at the table, and being rude to the servers.

Bringing Up Previous Boyfriends

It’s never okay to bring up your ex, but it’s especially wrong when you’re on a date. Men find that a big turn off. It’s also a crush to their ego, something you don’t want to do if you’re genuinely interested in him. To learn more about the dos and don’ts of dating, take advantage of the personal matchmaking services through New York Socials.
