how to eat goji berriesHow Important Are B Vitamins?

One of the most important vitamin complexes that one can ingest is the B vitamins. Our bodies need all eight of them in order to maintain health. One of the best ways to get these vitamins is by eating a healthy diet. Sometimes, though, taking extra multi vitamins is a good way to get them all. A good way to find out all one can about the B vitamin complex is to do a little research on the internet.

The B vitamin complex is responsible for many aspects of bodily functions. These ones are responsible for the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Some function to provide energy for the body and to keep the nervous system running smoothly. Others are responsible for the maintenance of healthy skin, nerves and the intestinal tract. And B 12 helps to make blood cells in our body. The group works together to deliver a number of health benefits.

If you think that you are not getting an adequate, daily supply of the B vitamins, then supplements are a very good idea to maintain good health. A great website to investigate this complex group of vitamins and others too, is Evitamins. User reviews are posted, as well as a detailed explanation of what each supplement does for the body. The prices are reasonable, and the shipping can be quick if one is willing to pay the price.

All of the B vitamins will help to keep the body healthy and happy, but sometimes a healthy diet is not enough. Because of their importance, if a person does not eat healthy foods then a supplement may be needed. In order for a person to learn about this complex group and, if necessary, the right supplements to buy, then a quick Google search will provide plenty of food for thought.

Copycat Restaurant Recipes Can Help You Enjoy Your Trip Out to Eat

Preparing copycat restaurant recipes is an excellent way to enjoy your restaurant favorites at home and a good way to save a little money. But, surprisingly, it can also make your future trips to your favorite restaurant even more enjoyable. Let me explain.

I love to go to Romano's Macaroni Grill. From smell of the open fire grill as I open the front door to the music of the singing waiters as I set down at my table, I love it all. Unfortunately for me, on my very first visit I tried the Pasta Milano and fell so deeply in love with it that I cannot bring myself to order anything else. I try. It all looks so good. From the brick-oven-cooked Pizza Margherita and the Shrimp Portofino to the Vodka Rustica. From the Lobster Ravioli to the Boursin Filet, I am dying to try it all.

And I have every intention to do so. I pour over the menu finally picking out Grilled Salmon or Twice Baked Lasagna with Meatballs. I can already taste it.

But as soon as the waiter approaches -- Bam! I point to the Pasta Milano. Oh well, at least I do always enjoy my dinner.

But recently I found something that should make my next trip a different experience. Copycat restaurant recipes are popping up all over the internet and some of them are very good. One of the first ones I looked for was, of course, Pasta Milano. I found a recipe and started making the dish at home for myself. It is just as good in my apartment as it is at Romano's (though I do miss the singing waiters).

Thanks to this copycat restaurant recipe my next trip to Romano's Macaroni Grill ought to follow a different script. I am now free to look over the delicious menu and order one of the other dishes I have so often craved. I can hardly wait!

Should I get Fettuccine Alfredo or Spaghetti & Meatballs or Sicilian Pizza...or...

Characteristics of Beer Brewing Regions in the United States

Regional Characteristics of Craft Brewing.

It is surely apparent to even the most casual observer that the selection of small batch, or micro brewed, beer has grown steadily for many years. Early on in the craft brewing revival it was widely speculated that the microbrew revolution was merely a fad and once over, factory beers would once again be the only beer left standing on the shelves. But these smaller brewers have not only survived, they have thrived and revitalized many brewing traditions nearly lost forever. What has emerged is rather amazing. When you travel the United States and sample beers over a wide geographic range, patterns emerge in the beer styles and flavors you sample. These brewing tendancies are based on the history of beer making in the region, the availability of ingredients, and even the climate of the area and its effect on the demand for various beer styles.

Let's look at some of the broad regions of the country and what you can expect in the general styles of beers. While this exercise sheds some light on how each region has evolved, it is by no means an absolute reference. There are many wonderful exceptions to every generalization.

North East

New England has roots that run to the very beginnings of when Europeans first settled North America, and one of the first traditions these settlers brought with them was brewing. Many of our founding fathers not only enjoyed a brewed libation, they often made their own. One of the biggest craft brewers even takes its very name from a famous patriot and brewer from the American Revolution. The microbrew revolution has not traveled far from its heritage, and you will find almost exclusively beers made in the English tradition. This is ale country, and most brewpubs even have the traditional hand pulled beer engine offering true cask conditioned ales at cellar temperatures. While English ales rule in the North East, a few renegades are offering Belgian style ales. These beers are very traditional in their hops and malt balance, smooth and very drinkable.

Midwest

Many Germans migrated during the 1800's to the Midwest in search of farm land and work in the booming cities. With them they brought a long tradition of brewing cold fermented lagers from their homeland of Germany, Bavaria, Poland, and other middle European countries. True to form, this portion of the country still has some of the best lagers to be found in the world. It is this part of the country where brewing survived during prohibition and then blossomed after its downfall. The United States largest brewers are still in the Midwest, but they are no longer alone. The beer selection you will primarily find here focuses on lighter beers that have been cold fermented and offer crisp clean colors, the floral and citrus aromas of Noble hops, and little in the way of estery yeast by-products. The exception to this rule is the amazing bounty of aromas you may find in a glass of traditional Hefeweizen, or wheat beers with the yeast left unfiltered.

South

Settled mainly by the French, the south and Gulf Coast has little in the way of a brewing history. The very warm climate made growing malt and hops nearly impossible, and fermenting in this heat is unpredictable. As such, the South does not have many brewpubs and Micros in order to define their space. With the advent of refrigeration, and the ease of shipping ingredients now, there are some great brews beginning to take shape. So perhaps it would be better to wait until more brewing traditions have been created before pigeon-holing this newcomer to the brewing scene. One thing that is noticeable is the effect hot weather has on the beer drinkers desire. Lighter beers served ice cold are in much greater fashion than the heavier and warmer ales served by their neighbors to the North.

Mountains

The mountains of Colorado, Nevada, and Idaho are especially noted for unparalleled skiing. Along with skis, vacationers often bring a hearty thirst worked up from multiple trips down the mountains. Here an ever-growing brewpub scene offers some of the most varied selections in the country. It is almost like the brewers of the mountain region reflect the many expectations brought by visitors from every corner of the world. Here you will find German lagers, English Ales, and American originals all served side by side. But one characteristic that begins to shine through comes from the proximity of the hops growing region in the Pacific Northwest. Beer here has a distinct extra dose of hops that make them All American. Instead of using hops imported from Europe, beer is most often embued with American varieties descended from traditional hops of the world.

West Coast and Pacific Northwest

The West Coast is mostly affected by the very close US center of hops growing in Oregon and Washington states. Beer styles here are most certainly American. The Pacific Northwest is also the heart of barley growing in the United States, so it is no surprise that the density of micro brewed beer is higher here than most anywhere else in the country. And every brewery or brewpub offers many styles with assertive hops; in the kettle for bitterness as well as large amounts of dry hops in the barrel for aroma. Most styles are American adaptations of German or English traditional brews, adapted for the cool wet weather and utilizing the abundance of local ingredients.

While throughout the world there are literally dozens of styles of beer, relatively few are brewed in any one region of the United States. Each area has been influenced by climate, availability of ingredients, and tradition, to develop a limited number of distinct beer offerings.
