Business financing is also considered as debt financing and in some cases you may be required to have good credit to successfully receive a small business loan. You may have a wonderful idea for your business, but getting it off the ground is only half the battle. First off, you will need to invest in certain materials, items, machines, etc. to start your business and this is one of the primary reasons why you would apply for a small business loan.

Generally speaking, the fee for these types of loans can be anywhere from cost you anywhere from two hundred to five thousand dollars depending on where you apply.

Six Unusual Ways to Serve Homemade Ice Cream

Vanilla with apple pie, chocolate in a bowl with hot fudge sauce and strawberry in a cone. It's all been done before, and so many times. So instead of carrying on with tradition, we'd like to give you some unusual and creative inspiration on how to serve up your homemade ice cream to your guests. You will find a variety of unusual recipes and methods from strange flavor combos to fried ice cream.

Choose Some Strange Flavor Combos: Chili and Chocolate, Licorice and Black-currant, Bacon and Maple Syrup...try anything that you think will go well, even if you've never seen it made before. One thing with this idea is that you may want to make a test batch before you commit to it as part of your menu, or alternatively have a back-up dessert if you're holding a dinner party and your idea turns out disgusting.
Confuse Your Guests with Ice Cream Cupcakes: These are, in fact, little cupcakes baked and served in flat-bottomed wafer cones. You can top them with whatever frosting and toppings you like to make them look, but then as soon as your guests take a bite they'll be pleasantly confused.
Get Them Involved in the Making: Who says guests should sit and wait to be served by their host? If you've got an ice cream ball or a hand cranked machine then you can pass it round the table, letting each person have a go until the mixture is fully churned. They'll love to see how it goes from slop to perfect frozen dessert, and it'll raise morale, leaving your dinner party ending on a high note. Getting your guests involved will make it a memorable and fun activity.
Fried Ice Cream / Baked Alaska: This involves rolling scoops in batter, then freezing them before deep frying and serving immediately. The two methods of cooking seem so far removed that your guests will be fascinated at how it all works. This is also called baked Alaska.
DIY Buffet: People love to serve themselves at parties, especially when it's with something fun like different bowls of mix-ins, crushed M&Ms, mini smarties, chopped nuts and sprinkles. Put several scoops of different flavors into pre-frozen steel bowls, so that it doesn't melt while your guests help themselves. You might choose to give them cones, bowls, sundae glasses or a choice of all three and see what everyone chooses.
Low-Fat Ice Cream: Did you know that you can make low-fat and diet-friendly ice cream so you don't have to worry about adding a few extra pounds while enjoying this delicious dessert? Here's a great recipe to make low-fat ice cream.

Hopefully with one or two of these unique serving ideas, your dinner party will end on a huge high. Whether it's a weird flavor you try or simply an unusual method of making it, it will be unique and will be remembered by your guests. There should be no boundaries when it comes to ice cream making, and you should never dismiss a recipe idea for it being too outlandish. If there's no time to try it this time then make a note of it in your ice cream recipe book for a later date when you're strapped for interesting ideas. Enjoy!

Perfect Apple Pie Starts With Perfect Pastry Crust

Everyone loves America's favorite dessert - apple pie. There are hundreds of taste-tested recipes for this wonderful dish, each one unique in flavor and texture. Some people like a traditional apple pie filling in a flaky crust, while others like the interaction of the apples with other fruits, crusts made from a variety of different ingredients, and non-crust toppings such as cheese or cookie crumbs. Making a homemade apple pie is easy with the right ingredients, recipes, and cooking techniques. It's next to impossible to make a poor tasting apple pie when you start with good, fresh ingredients. To make a great traditional style apple pie, however, you need to start with an amazing pastry crust.

Start your perfect pie crust with quality ingredients that have been refrigerated before you begin your pastry crust recipe. That means every ingredient including the flour. Any liquids going in the pastry should be ice cold. Use an all-purpose flour, not bread or cake flour, as neither is suitable to achieve a tender, flaky crust. Lard and shortening produce the best pie crusts. Using half butter and half shortening will result in a flaky pie crust with a rich buttery flavor. The flakiness in the pie crust comes from the fat that is used in the pastry recipe. Cut in your fat by using a pastry blender, or a fork, and just cut in the butter and shortening until the dough resembles tiny pea size pieces. When a recipe calls for water, substitute ice-cold sour cream or heavy cream and the result will be an even flakier crust.

When the pie crust is the perfect texture and consistency, pat and press the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. The refrigeration time relaxes the dough and makes the job of rolling it out into a perfect circle easier. Remove the dough from the refrigerator, place on a floured board and starting from the center carefully roll outward. Flour your rolling pin as necessary. Roll your dough into a circle that is 2-inches in diameter larger than your pie plate. Cover the dough again in plastic wrap, and refrigerate and additional 30 minutes.

Place your pie dough into the pie pan and trim the edges. Your pie dough is now ready for filling. Pay careful attention to recipe details as some pie crusts will need to be pre-baked, need small holes pricked in the bottom of the pie crust to allow steam to escape, or have the edges covered with foil to avoid the crust from overcooking. When you start with the perfect pie crust you are on your way to the perfect apple pie.

Image : http://www.flickr.com

If you are in the mood to make ice cream with your ice cream maker, these three easy strawberry ice cream recipes can make a nice summer treat. Each are different, so you have options depending on the ingredients you have at home.

Recipe #1 - NON-DAIRY STRAWBERRY

2 teaspoons kosher gelatin

1/4 cup apple-strawberry juice

2/3 cup all-fruit strawberry jam

3 cups vanilla soy milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over apple juice. Let sit, stirring occasionally, until gelatin is dissolved and softened, about 10 minutes.

2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together jam and 2 cups soy milk. Cook until just hot, stirring frequently; remove from heat. Add softened gelatin to hot milk mixture, stirring until gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in remaining soy milk and vanilla; let cool, cover, and refrigerate until very well-chilled.

3. Spoon chilled mixture into the canister of an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions.

Makes about 1 quart.

Recipe #2 - OLD-FASHIONED STRAWBERRY

1 pt Strawberries

1 c Sugar

1 Egg

1 c Half and half

1 t Vanilla

3 c Heavy cream

Hull the berries and cut the larger ones in half. Place the berries in a double boiler and add 1/2 cup sugar. Heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is very soft. Puree the fruit in a blender. Transfer puree to a bowl and cool in the refrigerator.

Put the egg, half and half, remaining sugar and vanilla extract in the blender and blend on medium speed till mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved. Slowly add the cream and continue blending on low speed for 30 seconds. Transfer the mixture to your ice cream freezer and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.

When the ice cream is about half frozen, add the strawberry puree to the mixture. Continue freezing. Makes slightly more than 1 quart.

Recipe #3 - STRAWBERRY SORBET

You might make extra purée and use it as a sauce under the sorbet. A fresh mint spring makes a pretty garnish.

2 pints strawberries, washed and hulled

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons superfine sugar

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Purée the strawberries in a food processor. You should have about 3 cups. Stir in 1 cup of the simple syrup and the lemon juice. Taste and add remaining syrup if necessary. Pour the mixture into the bowl of the machine and freeze.

Mastering That 3D Cake

In "Making a 3D cake at home", I went through the basics of taking a boxed cake mix and basic cake pans and building them into a wonderful character or object of your choosing. It usually takes 2 boxed cake mixes to accomplish the scale of cake that can reasonably feed a crowd of people. Most box cake mixes turn out a cake that is soft, moist and easily can crumble and fall apart, which makes is difficult to manage when manipulating into your shape. Taking out the fat from the egg yolks added and only adding egg whites makes the cake more spongy, and much easier to handle when cutting and standing up on it side. It gives the cake the strength it needs to stand up to a lot of icing as well. I love the texture of the cake that results from doing this. I also substitute milk for the water, to add a little more moisture. While building the cake, my daughter and I eat every leftover corner or cutout left behind, because it is so good. Using a good serrated knife, or bread knife when cutting the cake helps to keep from tearing or crumbling the cake. Once you have cooled your cake completely and cut your round cakes into halves, (I cut 2 round cakes into halves) you can begin to assemble them on a prepared cardboard cake board.

The shape of the object you are building will determine the way you place your cake pieces on the board. I will use the dinosaur for my example. I placed the cut round halves with cut side to board, using 3 halves side by side for thickness. The halves will stand well untill you get everything arranged to the shape you want them, then you can use icing to glue them together and crumb coat your cake. I then take the last half of the round cake, cut it in half and stand these two pieces up on their side on the cake board for the head, placing it in on the front side of the other 3 half rounds. For the tail, I cut the last round cake into a half moon shape and place it behind the rounds. You can curve it whichever way you want. For the legs, I made 4 egg shapes, using the Wilton egg shaped pan, which are perfect for the legs. Place these to each side. You can secure these with small wooden dowel rods, or just glue on with icing. Stand back and look at your shape, tweak where you need to. I curved my dinosaur a little on the board. When you get everything arranged into the shape you want, go ahead and place buttercream icing between pieces to stick them together and gently ice over all the pieces for a crumb coat. This prevents excess crumbs on your final icing.

Icing the cake, like I said is the most time consuming part of the process. I use buttercream icing from a basic recipe. You will need to double the recipe for enough icing to fill in your cake. A wonderful basic buttercream icing recipe is as follows.

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup shortening

4 cups powder sugar

2-3 tbsp. milk

1 tsp. vanilla flavoring

I use gel coloring to color the icing. I usually separate it into separate bowls and color it, using a large part for the body and smaller portions for shading and details on the form ie., eyes, claws, spiney forms on dinosaur. I used green for the large portion of the body, a shade darker to enhance around the legs, and create the spines on the back and tail, black for the claws, white for the eyes and teeth. I used just a plain small round tip for the small details. It is necessary to fill in the spaces between the head and body, around the legs and between the tail and body, building with the icing with the star tip to get the full shape you want. Looking a picture of your object is a big help with enhancing the coloring. Embellishments with candies and chocolated cut to shapes is another great idea. I put small chocolate chips in the eyes. You can get as extravagant is you like. The options are endless. After your first one, a basic sheet cake just will not do. It is a lot of fun and your kids will love getting into the decorating. The hard part is watching it get devoured at the party!

A Little Bit Longer And Ill be Yours - JB Love Story Chapter 16

My favourite dessert has to be ice cream or anything with chocolate in it!! =D haha Chocoholic!!! =D -x- Recap: 3 brothers have fallen in love with 3 different girls who are best friends... what will happen? (LOL) *Katie POV* (The whole party) And then I heard an explosion coming from above. I tilted my head up to see what had made that extremely loud noise and I saw an eruption of fireworks that were baby blue and read HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE! At the same time as I read them I heard all the people in the garden shout the words that were written in the sky... Aww! I was about to cry of happiness! This was the best b-day party anyone could have given me, and it was just the beginning... Then, another explosion came. This one sent white sparks flying everywhere surrounding me. It was so beautiful! Finally the music came. It wasnt music taken from hundreds of years ago, it was music that we listened to normally but it fitted perfectly for the occasion! And I saw the rushes of the guests to get to the ball room, including myself in the mob because I wanted to see the decorations that Vicky had done! But in the high heels that I was wearing, the rush became a bit slower than what I had in mind... I was walking hand in hand with Vicky to get to the ballroom when something caught my eye. A guy who was about 15 meters away staring at me! Not Natalie, something that was normal, but me! It was kind of weird for me...having Natalie next to me and getting a boys attention. He had dark ...

Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker

I finally broke down and bought a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker and I've got to tell you, I'm glad I did. I have a family of 10 and being able to make two quarts of homemade sherbet, sorbet, and frozen drinks is a real treat.

As I said, I have a family of 10, so we needed a pretty hefty Cuisinart ice cream maker to keep up. We went with the ICE-30BC which I have to say, is pretty well made. It's rugged, looks killer, and works like a charm.

The only flaw is, you have to freeze the bowl for a good 24 hours in order to get your creation to the proper consistency.

The Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker company has another model that I've got my eye on. It's a commercial Cuisinart ice cream maker and it has its own, built-in freezing chamber. That means, no bowl freezing. Just turn it on and 30 minute later, ice cream!

The down side to that is, it's $300. BUT, I also found a similar maker (another brand) for $700 so I guess it's not that bad.

Let me tell you a little bit about the history of this frozen confection, I think you'll find interesting.

The Emperor of Rome (Nero) was credited with having sent his servants into the mountains to collect snow. This was then mixed with nectar, fruit pulp and honey. Sure, it wasn't as convenient as a Cuisinart ice cream maker, but it must have been a tasty treat!

No one knows for sure the origin of this fantastic frozen delight, but in the 13th century, Marco Polo came back from Asia with recipes for 'water ice'. Apparently the Asians had been using them for thousands of years.

Italo Machiony had a cute little pushcart where he sold his homemade frozen dessert on Wall Street. He invented a waffle cone to keep people from running of with his glass cups and patented his idea in 1903.

No matter what you call it, or who made it, whether it contains fruit, nuts, chocolate, or peanut butter (my favorite) you really do need to be able to make your own. Not only is it a bit less expensive, but there are NO preservatives and you can put exactly what you want in it.

If you're looking for a Cuisinart ice cream maker, you definitely want to check out my website for more information.

Things to Consider Before Buying Cable Ties

If you are a newbie at buying cable ties then it would be a good idea to spend a couple of minutes reading this article. There are several things you need to consider before you can place the actual order for your cable ties. The task isn't as easy as it seems and there is a lot you need to think about before you place the actual order.

It may seem like a simple task to pick out cable-ties but the fact is that each one is manufactured for a different use. You cannot use the same cable-ties that are meant for prisoners on your laundry bags. In order to ascertain which ones suit you best it would be a good idea to do some research beforehand. Most manufacturers have their own sites up and running; go through their extensive catalogues and find out what kind of cable-ties would serve you best. At times you can even view a company's entire stock in their catalogue. Investing a few minutes and going through the different products wouldn't be such a bad idea. You may even end up buying a completely different cable ties than the one you set out to get.

It's important you don't just go on the pictures that you find in catalogues. A huge problem of buying things online or from catalogues in some store is that you can't judge the quality of the product you are trying to buy. The good news it that many tie manufacturers provide free samples of whatever they are selling. So, you don't just have to judge quality through the pictures, you can practically see whether or not the ties are worth spending any money on. Instead of buying in bulk completely useless cable ties, you can order just the right one. The beauty of it is that you can ask for several different samples and pick the one that fulfils all your requirements.

Many sites will provide dimensions and technical specifications for their users. You don't have to shoot in the dark and then pray that you end up with the right one. Go and measure the object you need to use the cable ties on and then buy the exact ones that you need. Always remember that you should know your objects inside out before you set out to buy the cable ties. There is rarely room for experimentation with goods that have to be ordered in large volumes and cable ties fall under this criterion.

Are you trying to make a statement with your ties? The idea isn't all that far fetched. The market has diversified itself and cable ties can now actually be customised. If you have a brand theme that you need to follow then it's possible to play with design and colour so that you have something truly unique. Don't shy away from innovation - in the competitive world that we live in today, making a mark and creating brand loyalty and awareness is everything.

Serve Sticky Buns For Your Coffee Klatsch Or Afternoon Tea

Image : http://www.flickr.com

When you put out the coffee and tea for everyone, include sticky buns in place of cookies or cake. You will receive rave notices! Perhaps you think of cinnamon rolls when you hear the term "sticky buns". They are similar but there are distinct differences. Both start with sweet yeast bread dough but that is where the similarities end!

Cinnamon rolls or buns consist of substantial 'bread like' layers with cinnamon in between and white frosting on top. Sticky buns are very thin layers which are achieved through rolling and stretching of the dough. It is then spread with melted butter, chopped dried fruits (currants and raisins are typical), sugar and imported Vietnamese cinnamon.

The dough is then rolled and cut into pieces which are placed into pans which have been prepared with a light caramel sauce and nuts. Once baking is complete, the pan is quickly inverted so that the "sticky" can run down between the layers. Now they are ready to enjoy! Or ship to friends as gifts or pop into your freezer for future use.

Find the Best Deals on Shaped Cake Pans

Image : http://www.flickr.com

At one point, you could find shaped cake pans everywhere. They were at your local grocery store, big box retailers, and even the drug store. Baking fell from the graces of popularity in the mid nineties, and so did the pans availability. Now, baking is becoming popular once again, but the availability of the pans isn't growing nearly as fast. So we're currently facing a double dilemma, the pans are hard to find and when you can find them they're very expensive. So what to do? Read on to learn!

If you live in an area that is very food-centric, there will be large stores that are dedicated kitchen and restaurant supplies. Here you will find every size cake pan imaginable at a great price. The problem with these places is that many of them are wholesalers, and you may need a license or be associated with a restaurant to shop there. This obviously won't work if you don't have either of those qualifications. If you know a local restauranteur, you may be able to get in with them (and not pay any sales tax!) but if you don't this won't be an available option for you.

The other place to turn to get great deals on cake pans is the internet. When browsing, you're going to come across a lot of sites that look like they haven't been updated since 1997, but many of them are worthwhile places to shop. If you are looking for something that is a bit more up to date, check out Amazon. They have almost every cake pan around, and everything is a great price. Most orders will qualify for free shipping if they are over the amount threshold, and you'll get everything fast. If you're looking for a great deal on out of print cake pans, turn to eBay. You can expect to pay anywhere between $20 and $100 for these old school pans, but they're there. This is especially true for the hard to find Star Wars cake pans.

A few of the manufacturers will sell directly from their websites. Nordic Pro has a great shopping side of their site, as does Wilton. If you come across a pan that doesn't have the instructions for decorating, the manufacturer's website will usually have them there for download.

Finding a great deal on a shaped pan is a bit trickier than it used to be, but deals are still out there. You either have to know where to look, or know someone that can get you in, but it can certainly be done.

Homemade Ice Cream Instructions

Ice cream is just about every American's favorite dessert, and it shows in dentist chairs all across the country. Now the good news for all of you sugar-addicts out there who love this tasty treat is that you can still enjoy it, but at a much lower expense! That's right, you alone can create ice cream, straight out of your own kitchen!

Ice cream contains a variety of nutrients and with a vast array of recipes, everyone can enjoy some form of this frozen fiesta! Whether you are looking for a lower sugar, low calorie, or what have you, that are many different recipes for your individual needs.

Lots of different milk products can be used in making ice cream at home, including whole milk, condensed milk and instant skim-milk powder. Skim-milk powder is used give the ice cream more body and increase the contents. It's also an important source of protein which will improve the ice cream nutritionally for those of you who are more health-conscious. Using quality, fresh powder will avoid a stale flavor to the ice cream.

Another common ingredient in homemade ice cream is sugar, used as a sweetener, it gives the ice cream body and texture. The next ingredient is gelatin, which helps in absorbing some of the free water in the ice cream mix. It also helps prevent the formation of large crystals in the ice cream.

The next step is preparation. The mix has to be cooked, or pasteurized. For cooking the mix, it is best to use a double boiler to prevent scorching.

You will place the liquid ingredients (milk, cream or coffee whitener) in the upper section of the double boiler. Beat in the eggs and the skim-milk powder. Mix the gelatin with the sugar and add to the liquid with constant mixing. While stirring, heat to about 70 degrees Celsius. Place the container in cold water and cool as rapidly as possible to below 18 degrees Celsius.

Finally, when freezing the mix, make sure all parts of the freezer coming in contact with the ice cream are clean and have been scalded. Let the can cool before pouring in the mix. Freeze the mix for 20 to 30 minutes. In the event that your electric motor stalls, immediately unplug it. Remove the motor or crank and take the dasher out of the ice cream. The ice cream will be softly frozen. Scrape the ice cream out and either scoop into suitable containers or pack in the freezer can. Immediately place the ice cream in the deep freeze to harden.

How to Make a Hoosier-Style Mardi Gras Layer Cake That is Yummy!

I don't know how this cake got its Mardi Gras name. It is an old recipe I got many years ago from an old childhood friend. I had never been to Mardi Gras and don't believe she had either, at that time. Fifty years later, I still haven't been to Mardi Gras and have no idea if she ever has. But if you like butterscotch, you will think our Mardi Gras cake is yummy!

HOOSIER-STYLE MARDI GRAS PARTY CAKE

2/3 cup butterscotch chips
1/4 cup water
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
3 eggs, unbeaten
1 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease well and flour two round cake pans. In a small saucepan melt the butterscotch chips in the water. Cool. Sift the flour with the salt, baking soda, and baking powder; set aside.

Add the sugar gradually to the butter in large mixing bowl, creaming well. Add the eggs and beat well. Blend in the melted butterscotch chips. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk, mixing well. Pour into the prepared pans, dividing evenly between the two pans. Lightly tap on countertop to remove any air pockets. Place in the oven and bake at 375 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for a few minutes then remove to racks to cool.

BUTTERSCOTCH FILLING:

1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup butterscotch chips
1 beaten egg yolk (reserve white for frosting)
2 tbsp butter
1 cup coconut
1 cup chopped pecans

Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Stir in the evaporated milk, water, butterscotch chips, and egg yolk until blended. Cook over medium heat until thick, stirring continually. Remove from the heat and add the butter, coconut and pecans. Place one of the cake layers on the cake plate. Spread the filling to 1/2" of the edge of the layer. Set the second cake layer over the filling. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the following:

SEAFOAM FROSTING:

2 cups brown sugar
1 cup water
2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla

Boil the brown sugar and water until it makes a soft ball when you place a drop in cold water. Beat the egg whites until stiff; stir in the vanilla. Slowly pour the brown sugar mixture into the stiffly beaten egg whites, beating until stiff enough to spread. Frost the top and sides of the cake.

Enjoy!

My Timex Beats Only For You

Timex built their reputation on watches that were comfortable, reliable and priced well. In keeping up with the times, the company has developed some great Timex heart rate monitors that reflect those same standards. It does not matter how many features a monitor has; what does matter is if you understand how to use it properly and if it meets your needs.

In 1941, the Timex Corporation evolved by blending three early clockmakers. Timex manufactured watches that used hard alloy bearings instead of jewels, making their watches a more rugged and less expensive alternative to what was currently on the market at that time. Timex became known for their dependable watches and they helped this along by showing commercials with their watches strapped to churning boat propellers and the hooves of galloping horses. This is where the phrase "takes a licking but keeps on ticking" originally came from.

A Timex heart rate monitor includes a chest band and a wrist unit that uses a wireless connection from one to the other. By using one of these devices when you workout you will be constantly aware of your average heart rate and whether you are in your proper age appropriate zone. A Timex rate monitor will sound an alarm if you go out of your zone. A practical feature of their monitors is that they include an easy to read display even in dim conditions so if you are someone that walks or runs after work and it is dark, you will still be able to see the information that is important to you.

The company continues to develop new design and new technology with their Timex heart rate monitors. They actually brought their first home health care products to market in 1983 and this included a blood pressure cuff, a digital thermometer and a digital scale.

Heart rate monitors continue to increase in popularity as more medical professionals are weighing in on the benefits of monitoring your rate during exercise. And with a Timex heart rate monitor there is no need to pay a lot of money to get a tool that is a great asset to your health. Their monitors start at approximately forty dollars. Depending on the features that are most important to you, they can cost several hundred dollars. This is still a small price to pay for such a valuable health tool. If you want to maintain maximum fat burn and improved fitness it is important to stay within your heart rate zone.

Most Timex heart rate monitors are very user friendly and most of the features can be accessed with a push of a button. The model you choose will determine its features. All their models are built for extreme use and even the most inexpensive model is water resistant to ten meters. You can purchase a Timex heart rate monitor for under one hundred dollars and know that you are getting a monitor that is stylish, accurate and dependable.

Mexican Dessert Recipes - Delicious Desserts

When you think of Mexican food, you probably think of tacos, burritos, and chips and salsa. Possibly you think of a cold margarita, beer, or iced tea. However, do you think about what you will enjoy for dessert? Believe it or not, there are a lot of great Mexican dessert recipes out there! One of the most popular Mexican desserts is the empanada. You combine butter, cream cheese, and flour to make a ball of dough. After refrigerating the dough overnight, you form it into "rounds" and add a spoonful of fruit preserves to the center of each one. Then, you bake them for about fifteen minutes. When they are finished baking, roll them in cinnamon sugar. They are yummy!

If you enjoy enchiladas, you are sure to like the next Mexican dessert recipe. Apple enchiladas can be served hot with vanilla ice cream. To make the enchiladas, fill tortillas with canned apple pie filling. Then you will prepare a sauce on the stovetop, make from butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and water. Pour the sauce over the enchiladas, and bake them in the oven for about twenty minutes. Then enjoy!

Flan is a classic Mexican dessert that is served in most Mexican restaurants. Not everyone likes it, but when it is prepared correctly, it can be really great. One caveat before making flan: you will need ramekins to bake the flans in, so purchase them before you get started! You will cook sugar in a saucepan until it is caramelized, and then pour some into each ramekin. Then mix together several eggs, sugar, evaporated milk, and vanilla. Pour the custard mix into the ramekins. Bake it in a water bath until an inserted knife comes out clean, about forty-five minutes. You may either enjoy it warm or chilled.

Sopapillas are similar to empanadas but they are fried. You make dough from flour, baking powder, salt, shortening, and water. Then you form the dough into small balls and fry them in vegetable oil. Drain the sopapillas well, and then sprinkle them with honey and/or powdered sugar. See, Mexican dessert recipes are plentiful and easy!

If you enjoy margaritas, you will love Margarita Cake! The cake is a Bundt-style cake made from orange cake mix, vanilla pudding, eggs, oil, water, lemon juice, triple sec, and tequila. While your cake is baking, prepare the delicious glaze for the top! Combine confectioners' sugar, tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. Pour the glaze over the top of the cake while it is still warm.

As you can tell, there are Mexican food is not just about tacos and salsa! There are many easy and delicious Mexican desserts that will add a sweet end to your meal.

An Ice Cream Maker Can Be Lots of Churning Fun - Or Not!

Image : http://www.flickr.com

If you want to make your own homemade ice cream, you have many different models and types of machines from which to choose. They also come in a wide range of prices and sizes. Before you choose one, you should give some thought to what your needs are. If you are shopping for a home version, you will generally be choosing between the type that uses rock salt and ice, and the type that uses a freezable canister. There are certain advantages to both types.

The type that uses a freezable canister is very convenient, and a lot less messy to use than the type that uses rock salt and ice. However, if you have a need to make a lot at one time, you might be better off with a maker that uses the rock salt and ice. This is because most of the home models that use the freezable canister can only make about a quart and a half of ice cream at one time. The canister also needs to refreeze for about eight hours before you can make a second batch. However, for the average home user, the type of ice cream maker with a freezable canister is a good choice.

For the ultimate in convenience, you can get the type that has both a freezable canister and runs on electricity, without the need to hand-crank. An ice cream maker with a freezable canister is less expensive to operate, because you do not have to buy rock salt in order to freeze your yummy treats! Whether you choose one that uses rock salt and ice, or a freezable canister, there are certain advantages to getting one that runs on electricity, as opposed to using a hand crank.

First, you will get a more consistently frozen ice cream, because the machine turns at a constant speed, instead of the stopping and starting that occurs with a hand cranked model. An electric version also stops when the ice cream reaches the correct consistency, which takes the guesswork out. However, sometimes a hand crank model can be fun, and can provide entertainment for the family in addition to the delicious ice cream it makes. Whichever style you choose, you will enjoy being able to make your own frozen treats whenever you want to.

Who is Up For Roller Skating? Let Us Gather Up the Kids

Who is up for roller skating, let us gather up the kids and go to the rink; it really does not matter what kind of skating that you do as long as you enjoy it with your heart, which is for you recreational skating indoors or outdoors and what about inline skating. Inline skating can be a little more difficult than regular skating, the balance is a lot more different and trying to stop can also be harder to learn, but skating is so much even if you have been skating for 25 years and you put a nice fitting pair on and stepped out on the rink it would be like you never quit at least within a few trips around you would be just as comfortable as you were when you were a child. When you are deciding to go shopping for new roller skates it is best to make sure everyone getting a pair is present so that you make sure that they fit the way that they are suppose too; even when it comes to the way the roller skate wheels feel is important for each individual, it the way the roll that is important like do they stick or a rough feeling.

And if you are a speed glider that likes to through in a little competition in your fun then you will definitely need a pair made specifically for riding fast and smooth, you can win without the right pair; there are many different shapes and sizes and so many awesome colors and graphics that can make you look so cool, they will notice you over anyone and you will be in style.

Inlining is another that is pretty cool, you just have to learn to maneuver a little differently, but it is like riding a bike once you get the hang of it you will have no more problems; in fact you probably will not want to go back to four wheels anymore, it seems that they really have a sleek smooth ride; if you watch other people ride them they just seem to fly and so smoothly, it is something fun to learn but you have to put in the effort.

Wearing protective gear is essential to maintain safety at all times, which normally includes gloves, and wrist braces, elbow pads, and knee pads are very important, but do not forget the helmet because with the speed that these things can go especially if you are riding with others around you definitely need a helmet; like any sport it is always important to be safe and use all of the proper gear.

Plan a nice day out for the whole family and either go to the rink or find a nice trail, usually the bike trails are well groomed and smooth and make for an excellent ride, especially with the ones you love and with a group of great friends; make a little competition out of it and see who can win and the winner gets the biggest ice cream cone.

How to Keep Your Flowers Fresh

When people find out you are a florist one question that pops up all the time is "How do I make flowers last". Or they tell you different ways that they have heard of to make arrangements last longer, like adding a penny, sprite, or an aspirin to the water. So here is a quick top seven for anyone that is interested.

1. Change the water daily. This is the simplest way to make flowers last longer. Nothing like fresh clean water to help keep the flowers drinking. Hydrated flowers are happy flowers.

2. Cut the stems at an angle. Cut your flowers before you first put them in water if you buy them loose. Also cut them every couple of days. Make sure to use sharp scissors or shears, be careful not to crush the stems. This tip also helps with the water intake.

3. Buy fresh flowers that are still in bud. When you look at the flowers at your local florist, the wide open ones always look the best but don't buy them. If the flower is already open it won't last that long. You want the flowers that are still in bud, or not open yet. Make sure the flower is still firm as well. You can enjoy them opening when you get them home.

4. Cleanliness is key. You want to put your fresh flowers into a clean container or vase. Like in rule #1 clean water is very important. So if your vase is dirty your water is dirty. Any bacteria can speed up the decay of flowers.

5. No leaves under water. The leaves will start to decay and contaminate your water. It cannot be said enough flowers need clean water.

6. Don't over heat your flowers. Keep them as cool as possible. Do not set them in direct sun light, keep them out of the draft from your heater. If you work in a kitchen and someone sends you flowers do not set them over the serving line. Well you get the picture. The hotter flowers get the quicker they will open and begin to wilt.

7. Feed your flowers. Once again fresh clean water is the best thing for keeping flowers fresh. If you want to put something in the water make sure it is food. Your local florist will have some on hand. You can also find some good recipes on line.

Why It's Practical to Buy Sweet Hampers

Image : http://www.flickr.com

In every household there is definitely a sweet lover. Often it is the kids that are obsessed with sweets but there are times as well when everybody in the family loves it just the same. Either of these situations though, it is best for families to stock up on sweets from their grocery trips in order to have them at a ready whenever cravings start. Families can have any kinds of treats to their liking but the best ones to buy are those in sweet hampers.

Why sweet hampers? Because these packages are overflowing with different varieties of sugary treats such as different kinds of candies, gums, chocolates, toffees and so much more. When a household is prepared with large quantities of these sweets, they don't have to make a trip every time they run out of it. Additionally, goods sold by the hamper, bulk, dozen or pound are sold in such discounted price that it gives families huge savings.

But not only do sweet hampers are useful for personal consumption. Most importantly, they come in handy during occasions where large quantities of sweets are called for. These occasions are ones which call for desserts particularly. When having a dinner for guests unexpectedly, hosts can just practically bring out their candies, whip them up to become more special and they are ready for serving.

Another thing is that when having a party, treats in hampers are very practical to be given away. Because of the sugary confections inside sweet hampers, what hosts can do is just wrap selections of these and they are an instant special giveaway. When having games as well, no need to spend lots of money on expensive and obscure things that guests may not even want to have. Hosts can simply take out their candies, lollies and so much more and they are good to go as prizes.

On days when sports like football is a craze that friends and family are gathered around the television to share cheers and place bets, sweet hampers are very ideal to serve. Together with chips and dips, popcorn and other foods, sweets will definitely complete the snacks. With candies and other kinds of sugary confections, any sports craze will become more enjoyable.

Tips For Estimating Food Serving Sizes

In order to control and maintain your weight, you need to consume the right food choices in the proper portions. These tips enable you to approximate portion sizes in order to avoid overindulging.

Foods in the bread and pasta/noodle group. This food group can become a problem. People tend to eat too much starch, such as pasta and bread. The following is an overall inventory of portion amounts to enable you to approximate the proper portions.

- 1 cup potatoes/ pasta/rice = ice cream scoop

- 1 pancake = size of a CD

- 1 cup cereal = size of your fist

- 1 slice bread = 1 serving

Dairy products. It is wise to exercise caution when it comes to dairy intake, since this food group often contains a lot of fat. The following are portion amount comparisons for the dairy group to enable you to restrict your intake.

- 1 1/2 ounces cheese = 3 dominoes

- 1 ounce cheese = your thumb

- 1 cup ice cream = hard baseball

Veggies. You can overeat any food group, even things such as vegetables, which are very healthy. These are some tools to help you compare serving sizes and estimate your daily servings of vegetables.

- 1 cup salad = size of fist

- 1 baked potato = size of fist

- Half cup broccoli = a light bulb

- Half cup serving = 6 spears of asparagus, 7-8 baby carrots, or one cob of corn

Fruits. Foods in the fruit group are naturally loaded with sugar. Therefore you must remain cautious about portion amounts too. These are some comparisons for you on the various sizes of fruit servings.

- Half a cup grapes = a light bulb

- Half a cup fruit salad = filled cupcake wrapper

- One medium fruit = size of a tennis ball

A source of protein, such as meat or soy. In the food categories, meat is easily over-consumed. People frequently consume twice the daily recommended serving in this category. Make sure to stick with the portion size comparisons so that you are able to figure out how much protein or meat you will need on your plate.

- 2 tablespoon peanut butter = golf ball

- 1 tablespoon peanut butter = top of your thumb

- 3 ounces cooked meat (including fish) = deck of cards

- 1 serving of chicken (3 ounces) = chicken leg or thigh

Fatty foods and snack choices. It is important to limit the consumption of junk food. {Just a small amount of fats and sugars really acts to increase your girth. The comparisons in size will help limit your intake of processed sugars and fats.

- 1 teaspoon butter = top of your thumb

- 2 tablespoons salad dressing = golf ball

- 1 ounce nuts/candy = small handful

- 1 ounce chips/pretzels = two small handfuls

- Half a cup chips/crackers/popcorn = large handful

- One third of a cup chips/crackers/popcorn = medium handful

Estimating a serving size is useless if you can't remember the recommended servings that are suggested for food groups in a given day. Look it up on the latest food pyramid recommendations chart (based on your sex, and how old you are) to find out how much is a healthy portion to consume for foods in the above mentioned groups. Next, utilize the portion amount comparisons included to make certain you aren't overindulging.

Wholesale Sweets - Treats to Bring Home

Image : http://www.flickr.com

Did you know that it is a custom in other countries to bring something home from visiting another place? In other places, it is a custom to bring or offer something to a home they will visit. The items that are brought are commonly foods, wholesale sweets, and household decors. Whichever is the case, however, the generous gesture is very hospitable and sweet.

If a person just came home from another country, he can purchase or bring home that country's delicacy, souvenirs and other local products. Surely there are lots of local wholesale sweets there, extraordinary items and fascinating products. When he takes one of these home, it goes to say that he also wants to share a piece of what he has experienced from his trip.

On the other hand, giving of wholesale sweets, pastries and ornaments to a household that is about to be visited by a person is also considered very courteous and generous. Just like in ancient times among the first tribes in the world, doing this gesture would represent that the visitor comes in peace and wants friendship. It may sound primitive but it is an inescapable truth. Humans somehow still interact with society the way their ancestors did.

Wholesale sweets can consist of so many treats from around the world. Visiting Belgium, for example, one can fill his pack with varieties of luscious chocolates and other classic old European candies. Some of these are flavored in licorice among others. In the Middle East, they also have their own version of sweets such as preserved and sugared dates and so much more.

In tropical countries, wholesale sweets are bursting with varieties of sun-kissed and sweetest fruits. Some treats may come in mango, lychee, papaya, pineapple and a lot more flavors. Some exotic and unique flavors are also found in each country such as Durian and Rambutan in most parts of Asia. In cold countries, sweets flavors come in peppermint, wintergreen, apples, different kinds of berries and so much more.

Horse Shaped Stress Balls - An in Depth Look at These Popular Promotional Gifts

Horse shaped stressballs are among the most requested farm animal shapes. These popular stress toys are often seen at tourist locations, dude ranches, and as gifts in horse related publications of which there are many. In some countries such as France, where horse meat is eaten regularly and sold at village markets, they are also big in the food industry. Restaurants specialising in the meat also give these gifts away printed with their logo and details.

There are several popular horse shapes but the most popular is a standing horse which is seen on almost every stress ball website on the net. It is 150mm x 47mm x 100mm and is normally printed on the back where your logo and details are easily visible. The print area is 30mm x 25mm is ample space for most logos and contact details.

The standard colour for this horse is dark brown with a black mane. Suppliers who purchase these stress products in bulk will have these in stock. I have found, however, that many people prefer to have the horses manufactured in another lighter colour so that their logo stands out better. This is completely up to you as special colours are rarely a problem though you should expect to wait for at least 4 weeks for delivery. Like all stress balls, the horse shape can be manufactured in your company colours if you feel like being brave.

As mentioned earlier, there are several fun horse related shapes. Some are lying down while others are kicking back smiling and wearing sunglasses. There are even a few horse stressballs that are available in the popular keyring size.

There are negatives and positives to going the keyring route. Key rings have always been quite popular promotional gifts because they are very handy. Almost everyone needs a keyring for their home, car and work keys. These popular stress reliever keyrings serve that purpose but they are also fun to squeeze. Your customers will probably find that they are reaching for their keys and squishing their horse keyring often. Each time they do, they could be looking at your logo and details.

The only problem with these fun keyrings is that they have a small print area due to the size of the product. You will need to consider this when you are considering what you want to print.

A Short History of Desserts

Sweet desserts have existed since the beginning of mankind. It is now enjoyed by people throughout the world in variety of flavors. In the past, only the affluent society folk could afford it while the ordinary people could only enjoy it on special occasions. Advancement of sugar production allowed its more extensive spread and at much more affordable prices to customers. People enjoyed desserts worldwide because of the increased supply of sugar.

Desserts are thought to have originated from a custom to remove the aftertaste of a meal with a sweet taste as they leave the mouth with a sweet flavor. The name confection is derived from a French word 'desservir' which means to clear the table. Thousands of dessert varieties exist today. Ice cream, cakes and pies are some of the popular desserts that have been present around since ancient times.

The origin of ice cream dates back around the 4th century BC, the Roman emperor Nero had ordered his followers to gather ice and add fruit toppings for his dessert. A Chinese king named Tang developed an early form of ice cream by combination of milk and ice. Ice cream was brought back by traders to Europe. Ice cream continued to evolve during history and recipes were soon developed for serving the French and Italian aristocracy.

Ice cream was introduced in America in 1700s. Many states offered ice cream as a dessert. It was served to guests by distinguished figures like Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and Dolly Madison. A caterer from London advertised in a New York paper in 1774 announcing his intentions to sell ice cream in his stores.

The word 'cake' is derived from an old word 'kaka'. The first use of word 'cake' was documented by the Oxford English Dictionary in the 13th century. Cakes eaten in ancient times were very different than today. Early cakes resembled with bread and honey and flavored with dried fruit and nuts. Early Egyptians were the first who used advanced methods in baking. Medieval Europe baked gingerbreads and fruitcakes as desserts. Advancements in baking and availability of cooking ingredients helped in the development of cakes. Round cakes with icing resembling with today's cakes were introduced in the mid 17th century. Modern cakes with baking powder and white flour were used for the first time in the 19th century.

Pies originated as dessert in Neolithic Period in 9500 BC. They were known as galettes which contained honey and different grains, it was baked on hot coals. The origin of pastry was an addition of bakers fruit, honey and nuts for serving the pharaoh. Drawings relating to this practice are decorated on the tomb of King Ramses II. Changes often occurred in the making of pie because of different ingredients and conditions.

Pie recipes were brought by Pilgrim women to America which was used by the Native Americans. A tradition of using round pans for pies were started was started by colonial women. Pies became a part of American culture in the 1700s as it was served as desert by pioneer women. Apple pie became a popular evening dessert for the American children.

What Do Studies on Fast Food Toys Reveal?

If you have visited a fast food lately and ordered a kids' meal, you probably saw that they come with a variety of fast food toys. There are even ads for toys all over the outlets. It is estimated in some researches that an average American child gets the one third of his toys from a fast food restaurant, especially companies such as Burger King or the McDonald's.

These studies show us two different things; first of all, we get to understand that incentives or even toys for sale in fast foods are extremely popular among kids and parents; McDonald's for instance, is one of the largest toy manufacturers in the world, featuring more than a million different toys and a billion different figures. Some of the meal toys are based in real cartoons and TV show characters. When buying a fast food meal you can get a miniature of Lilo and Stitch, the Lion King or some die cast cars. Actually, depending on the fashion and the times, you can find different figures and fast food toys; some companies have also the exclusive rights in selling particular toys. Burger King is the only fast food company that can sell Teletubbies.

Why do fast foods give children toys, since they are supposed to be restaurants and food related businesses? It is a game of attraction actually, since kids adore toys, so that give them an extra reason to want to visit the fast food; the fast food toys become a strong motivation.

The second observation related to these studies on toys is that parents do not perform their role of food providers that successfully, therefore their children eat at fast food restaurants far more often than they should. Especially since fast foods were directly associated with obesity, parents should try to avoid them as much as possible. In any case, kids like them, but they should not visit them that frequently.

Five Gym Rules to Live By

Image : http://www.flickr.com

Stressed? Short on time? Need to exercise?

Follow these rules to get the most effective workout in the least amount of time.

1. Multi-joint exercises. When time is of the essence, choose exercises that engage more than one muscle group. For example, instead of doing lateral raises (which only engage the deltoids), you should do the shoulder press (which engages the deltoids and the triceps). As another example, choose squats (which work the quadriceps and glutes) over leg extensions (which only work the quads). By choosing exercises that involve more than one joint, you can recruit more muscles in less time.

2. Minimize rest periods. Have you ever been in the gym and found your mind wandering to better days? Days when you were strong, svelte, and could eat anything without consequence. Well, the gym isn't the place for reflection. (I think there's some kind of pool for that.) Instead of doing nothing between sets, do an exercise that works the opposing muscle group. For example, do a set of pushups followed immediately by a set of pull ups. Repeat this sequence until all sets are complete.

3. Avoid the machines. When you use fixed path machines, you are forced into an unnatural position. Many of these machines require the use of both limbs, which hides any muscular imbalance that may be present. They also provide so much assistance that fewer muscles are engaged and range of motion is limited. When possible, opt for free weights to work your muscles at varying angles and to correct any muscular imbalances.

4. Plan your workout. If you mindlessly walk into the gym, your workout will most likely suffer. You'll find yourself staring at people in spandex, walking around aimlessly, or losing focus during your set. When you have a clear purpose, your brain will signal to your muscles that, "It's business time". Need a game plan? Designate a day for each body part.

5. Change it up. To continue to see results, your muscles must be stressed. This concept is the Principle of Overload: a system must be exercised at a level beyond which it is accustomed to achieve a training effect. How do you do that? Vary the intensity, duration, or frequency of the specific exercise. You must ALWAYS challenge your body to avoid hitting a fitness plateau.

HILARIOUS -- WE'RE LAUGHING WITH HIM, NOT AT HIM 100 2616

This is the last soccer game of the season. Evan is the youngest one on the team. He loved practicing; he kicked the ball into the goal over and over. However, playing the game was a different matter. He played because Mom and Dad told him he could have ice cream if he would get out on the field and play. This video is so funny because Evan runs away from the ball, and you can hear Mom and Dad and grandparents cheering him on. Evan runs out of the video frame at the beginning, and at the end he runs back into the frame. It's just too funny for words, but he had a good time, and so did we!
