So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Tips For Discovering Good Smokehouse BBQ Restaurants

By Gillian Riz


This includes everything from site selection, to restaurant layout and design, to vendor lists. The work does not end once the restaurant is opened and a quality control plan ensures that the endeavor will be successful. There is much to learn within the food service industry and even more knowledge is required when you are the boss. A franchise BBQ restaurant program provides the necessary education in a neat little package. Kings Mountain State Park, near Blacksburg, South Carolina, is a favorite destination with visitors to the Upcountry. The park is located near the border with North Carolina and is adjacent to Kings Mountain National Military Park, site of an important Revolutionary War battle. Built by the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) in the 1930s, Kings Mountain State Park encompasses 6,885 acres. Many of the park's original facilities are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

You can make deli trays with sliced ham, turkey, roast beef, and cheeses like cheddar, swiss and pepperjack. Add in bakery rolls or gourmet breads and your guests can create their own one-of-a-kind sandwiches. Consider adding in sides like potato salad, pasta salad, chips and dip and desserts like fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and brownies. If you're under a time crunch and don't have the time to make your own deli trays, they're readily available from most grocery stores and sandwich shops. Though it sounds simple, carelessness can cause the food to be charred or burned. BBQ cooking school lessons teach people how to clean the meat and most importantly how to marinate it. Reputed chefs impart detailed information regarding barbecue techniques, marinades and marinating time specifications. These classes are offered by established restaurants, hotels and even by local professionals.

It will take a little planning, but with a simple buffet menu it is easily achieved. Think differently about your food - There are plenty of food options available, so you don't have to go down the route of a traditional sit-down meal. Consider providing party foods, snacks or plenty of canapeacutes for a champagne reception. A dessert only reception would work well for a bride with a sweet-tooth or perhaps a picnic style buffet for a more casual affair. Few realize that one of the key factors in determining quality is to get the grill temperature as hot as possible. When you go to a restaurant and order a steak, did you realize that they are able to cook them at over 1000 degrees Typical charcoal grills rarely get over 700 degrees because most are simply too large. If you don't believe me, then just take a look at the ratings in Consumer Reports. Notice anything different about the Weber grill (and no, I am not selling them) The difference is they are small dome shaped grills.

No private boats are allowed, but non-motorized fishing boats may be rented for 20 per day at the 65 acre Lake York. Two group camps, Camp Cherokee and Camp York, may be rented for large groups. The popular Camp Cherokee YMCA Camp is also located within the boundary of the state park. The park is open daily from 8am-6pm, with extended hours of 7am-9pm during daylight savings time. This is a replica of a yeoman farm typical of those found in the South Carolina Piedmont in the early to mid 1800s. The farm buildings include the farmhouse, barn, smokehouse, and blacksmith shop. A farm of this type would have grown cotton as a cash crop, and there is a cotton gin onsite. For more adventurous hikers, there is a moderately difficult 16 mile loop trail that crosses over into the National Military Park.

While at the same time you remember that you are in a different place now both in life and literally on the other side of the planet. When I wasn't grounded, I was probably down south in Florida visiting some family or my dads friends who moved back and forth between Florida and Massachusetts. I'm sure I got my eating habits from the both of them but god kept them fit and blessed me with a big ass. For the love of all that is good, I cannot remember even one name of the restaurants that we used to go to in Florida but the barbecue places were more than just about food. Diving head first into restaurant ownership without help is not the best idea for someone with no experience. A franchise opportunity will usually be more successful because the business model is proven successful. An established program is usually much easier to implement, shortening the learning curve and time to profitability. People must be hardworking but friendly, creating an extended family that includes fellow employees and customers.

The Bone fish Grill specializes in fish, though the menu also offers pork, chicken and beef dishes, as well as soups and salads for those with a lighter appetite. The restaurant also boasts a large menu of specialty cocktails and an extensive wine list. The Bone fish Grill aims to teach customers about different types of fish, how it's best cooked and where each type comes from. Seafood items include Chilean sea bass, ahi tuna, Snake River rainbow trout, cold water lobster tails and scallops. Sloppy Pelican Bar and Grill - Adjacent to Woody's and directly across the Blind Pass Channel and nearby condos, Sloppy Pelican is another great place for live entertainment, attracting crowds young and old. They offer "all you can eat snow crab" and "all you can eat crab legs," Monday nights from 5-10 pm along with a new raw bar featuring oysters, clams, and fish spread. Gigi's Italian Restaurant - Family-owned and operated, Gigi's has been voted "Best of the Beaches" for Italian Restaurants 12 years in a row Great for dates or for the whole family. It's a smaller, more intimate setting, but there's still plenty of room for everyone.
